New Council
 Takes Office

&& EN~$ $3 N% A@&S
 The newly elected City Council members were sworn in Monday, at meeting held at the Elks Club. A small group of interested spectators witnessed the ceremony. The old Council was in attendance, but vacated their seats following the ceremony.
 Following the reading of the minutes, Mayor Johnson was sworn into office. The City Attorney Russ Arnett advised the Council that though he won the election as a write-in candidate, this was not a legal procedure, and made his tenancy of office questionable. He was then appointed by the Coun- cil, thus simplifying the procedure.
 The new Council members are Jim Brightman, Dewitt Fields, Charles Edris, Bob Spencer and Tim Gilmore Pete Deveau is the only encumbent from last years Council. Retiring Councilmen were Bob Hall, Anna Mae Vokacek. Pat Cannon, Wilton White and Stan Nelson.
 Mayor Johnson, in a few prelim mary remarks, complimented the outgoing Council members for an excellent job while in office We have not always agreed" he said, but this is healthy condition They should be commended high ly." He said no Council has work ed harder for the community bet ierment.
 Turning to the new Council, Mayor Johnson warned them that all is not easy sailing. He aske4I them to pay close attention to the cath of office.
 He then asked Councilman De- veau to assume the chair, and the Council voted Johnson into office by unanimous vote. Deveau then stepped down as Mayor with the comment: This is perhaps the shortest term for a Mayor"
 Jack Hinckel, Union Oil Con- slgnee, who was present, asked the new Council to put on their agen- da for early consideration, action taken by the previous Council e. questing the removal of the pro- pane tanks from the City Dock. They were considered Q fire haz- ard. He said he would have to ~e- quest the removal of City and other operations from property he has under lease, in order to find storage space for the tanks
 Carl Huer spoke on behalf ol the residents of the annexed area. and requested early action be taken on zoning Mission Road.
 A discussion arose as to what action to take on the Kodiak Ice and Cold Storage property, Follow ing the reading of a letter from the City Attorney, in which he stated the City had legal right to take possession of the proper ty, Pete Deveau moved that legal steps be taken to gain possession. The motion was seconded by Edris, but was recalled following furth- e1 discussion.

iiShermen Air Views

Inc FlSnerleS nearing held at the FiShermen's hall on October 6, brought out opposition to some of the proposals of the FWS, particu- larly the area licensing, which was introduced last year. A demand that fish traps be abolished was also made. About fifty people were in attendance.
 Donald McKernan, Administra- tor of Alaska Commercial Fish cries, who conducted the hearing, introduced FWS officials and others who were in attendance Among tfem were MT. John Gar ret, Assistant Administrator; Roy Lindsley, local agent and Fish Management Superintendent for Western Alaska; Mrs. Wright of the local FWS office; Dr. Howard Tait, scientist; Mir. Monte Clem- mons, Assistant Management Sup ervisor of the Kodiak area; Mrs. Frederick Withler and Dr. Wallace Johnson of the Biologist Research Board of Canada. The latter have been following the hearin 2 S throughout the territory.
 Slides were shown by Roy Lind Sley of the general picture throug- out Alaska and also slides and graphs covering data on all phases of the Kodiak salmon fishing.
 McKernan stated that there was some improvement in Alaska fish ing generally. Kodiak was tue weakest in Alaska this year." he said. Area licensing achieved a substantial reduction ill the lnove- ment of gear and a reduction in fishing" Area licensing has elim- mated guessing as to how many will fish, he said
 Dr. Tait was introduced and re- viewed research efforts at karluk and Bare Lake.
 John Garrett explained the tent ative proposals of the Department wkich were presented in two sec tionS-AlaSka generally and spe- officially for this area. These were generally the same as published in the Mirror last week.
 Mir Christiansen stated that he represented the Karluk beach seinerS when he said they resent the Karluk closures. He asked the Service not to be too stiff on them" He said he thought if area licensing improves the situation, there should be more openings in- stead of closures.
 McKernan replied to th:s; "The FWS tries to compensate by open ing the Karluk district earlier and keeping it open longer. This would allow a greater take from the earlier and later segmeEts of the run"
 CichoSki then read a letter from the Kodiak Island Fish Producers Association, which he wanted in- troduced as a brief for considera- tion by the Department. In it was proposed severalrecommerdationS One recommendation was that the control of gear should be continu- ed, but there should be no restrict ing of boats and gear to fish only one area.
 Cichoski said proposals are made by fishermen at the hearings every year, but go unheeded. "Ap- parently the fisherman is the for gotten man, he said.

Fire Destroys Fishing Boat

boat, was completely destroyed by fire Monday during the noon hour. Three men were injured and taken to the hospital. Nick Katelnikoff was owner of the vessel.
 Katelnikoff is reported to nave had difficulty starting the engine on the fishing boat, which lay along side the Standard Oil Dock. He had just filled the gas tank ten minutes before and brought SUD- plies aboard, in preparation for his return to Afognak. He called over to Peter Gundersen. who was aboard the Double O." which Jay along side, and asked if he could assist him in getting the engine started. Gundersen walked aboard, and after a few minutes conversa- tion, turned to go aboard the Double O." when katelnikoff turn ed on the ignition key. A loud ex- plosion resulted, which threw Gun dersen to the deck, knocking him unconscious momentarily, katelni- koff was thrown cut of the pilot house, and landed in the vessels stern. Gas fumes in the engine room ignited, and the two men were singed by the flames.
 Arthur Haakanson, who was down in the foc'sl hold, slowing away groceries and supplies taken aboard earlier, attempted to come on deck, but turned back when ne was met by flames, which had quickly gained considerable head way. Katelnikoff then went to his assistance by lifting up the cabin which had been Iosened by the force of the explosion, and manag- ed to eXtricate him. Haakanson was seVerly burned about the face. arms and legs, and he and the two men were rushed to the Griffin Memorial Hospital katelnikoff was released shortly after, but the other two men remained Haakan- son suffered second degree burns. and GunderSen checked for poSSi- ble broken ribs.
 Attempts were made to extin- guish the fire as the boat was tied up to the dock Fire Chief George MagnuSen, who is an employee of the Standard Oil Company, made every attempt to put out the fire Failing this, it was decided, in the interests of safety of adjacent boats, dock and plant, and in order to prevent the fire from spreading over the entire area, to push the blazing boat into the channel Further attempts were then made to extinguish the fire from aboard the Alaska Health Departments Hygiene, which was tied 10 the dock. This proved fruitleSs.
 Arnold T. Hansen, skipper on the GPC II, then piloted his boattO the stern of the burning vessel, and pushed it further into the channel The boat drifted towards the dock again, and he then pushed it to the shore of Near Island There it remained until it was demolished and sank. Prior to that, one eX- plosion followed another, as the flames set fire to the gas tanks. oil and fuel aboard.
 Aboard the Double o" were Johnny and Betty Nelson and their two children, and Peter Gunder- sen, who planned to leave shortly before the accident for Afognak.
 The boat, a complete loss, was covered by insurance.
