Report Made On Garbage Dump

The problem of where to move the city Garbage dump was dis cussed Monday at the last regular council meeting before the mnni- cipal elections.
 Dick Berg. chairman of the Utilities Committee, reported ta coancilmen that the c0mmitAn had met 10 discuss the niovas deemed necessary after a petitianl from residents living near the present dump was submitted ta council earlier this monthy
 The committee, he said. had looked at prospective sites at Pied mont Point and a cliff at Monaska Bay between tf1e rock quarry site and the cemetery Dumping the garbage over these cliffs would not be feasible unless we find oue where the currents would take the garbage" Berg said. We discoV- cred that no current chats for that area were available in Kodiak 50 we have written to Seattle for copies"
 He then stated that the com mittee had discussed a sanitary fill proposition and had looked at site on MIL Bay Road where swarnpy land would he suitable for fill.
 Incinerators had also been con- sidered but the feeling was, sad Berg, that city incinerator may De too expensive. We were dek nitely in agreement that the dump had to be moved-but what to de with it is the crucial question added Berg.
 The committee recommended I@ council that when the current charts arrive, tests should be made. The garbage dump .questi0n is to be placedion the agenda to be brought to the attention of the new utilities committee or the new city manager.

Work Stops On By-Pass
 Shut Down To Last Til Spring

The Base-Town bypass project, being constructed by Morrison Knudsen Company shut down for the winter at end of work Friday. Completion date was originally set for January l and work was to con- tinsre until that time.
 The shut down has been authori- xed by the Territory Bureau of Public Roads and word was receiv- cd from them Friday morning. Work will continue in the Spring when Morrison-Knudsen Company will be issued with a re-commence- ment order.
 Reason for the closure is that read material at the job is too sat urated by rain to be handled at the present time. The job has pro gressed as far as 1t can go without cutting into the present road and making a detour for traffic. The state of the material made it inn practical for detour to be built
Kodiak mirror., 1957-09-28

Newly installed B.P.R. resident engineer for the job, Harrison Hawkins, said The closure was not forseen when the job was started. 4 lot of the material which was thought to be solid rock turned out to be loose material which could not be handled during the winter months"

 Briefs :.

A suggestion to council at their: meeting Monday night that the city should examine the fran chise granted to the Kodiak Tele- phone Company was made by George Cornelius. He stated that poor telephone service he had ex- perienced recently was costing him money, and he wondered if franchise regulations were being complied with.
 Council informed him that they understood that the company was having trouble in getting neceS- sary equipment for their new i'm stallations. They agreed that ser vice was poor but that the cause was a combination of things out side the company's control. .

Peterson Urges
[updatinq Of CD

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, April
10 R.-The development Of new
and more destructive weapons
has made 1t imperative that the
Federal civil defense law be up
dated and modernized, Admin
istrator Val Peterson says.
In an annual report to Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Congress
yesterday, Mr.. Peterson pointed
out that the present law was
written in 1850 before the advent
of the hydrogen bomb and the
impending threat Of interconti-
mental ballistic missile.
Recalling that Mr.. Eisenhower
said last July that the whole
civil defense effort needS both
Strengthening and undermining, !"
Mr.. Peterson said:
I'VE in the Federal Civil De-
fense Administration are giving
continuing study to ways and
means Of accomplishing this
modernization of civil defense law
to make possible the strengthen
ling Of civil defense organizations
on all levels"
He reported the basic concept
of civil defense remains un-
changed-a balanced program Of
evacuation and shelter.
He also reported that the
agency is developing an expand
ed list of target areas which will
incorporate certain military
considerations as well as civil
defense criteria."

Site for Flower Garden

Mr.. Wirth wrote the board
that he believed a garden-type
memorial to the World War I
leader could be developed to the
satisfaction Of all parties.
Any plan put into effect on
the square must carry the ap-
proval of the Commission on

also must be- signed by the Sec

The Board of Trade cultural

complement the Treasury Build

Building on the south. and would
form ''an effective climax to the
sweep Of Pennsylvania avenue
westward from the Capitol"

The National Parks Service
has viewed favorably a Board
of Trade plan to turn the square
in front of the Willard Hotel
into spectacular flower garden.
Conrad L. Wirth. in a letter to
the Board Of Trade. said the site
on Pennsylvania avenue al
Fourteenth street, should be-
come a downtown showplace.
The board indorsed a sugges-
ton of its cultural development
committee that a flower garden
be produced there to compare
favorably with such famous
spots as the magnolia gardens
of Charleston, S. c.; the Plains
Of Abraham. Quebec. Canada,
and Rockefeller Center, New
York City.
Why, the committee asked,
should the United States Capt.
tai be left to suffer by compare
son?
A National Parks Service
spokesman said today he hopes
a compromise can be worked
out between the Board of Trade
and the American Battle Monu-
ments Commission, which wants
a statue Of General John j.
