Kodiak Land Fill Project Draws Fire; Resident Seeks Removal from Area

With daily compacting and cover ing, as was being done, no rats were attracted" In answer to Mrs. FIRE;
 Johnson statement that rats were seen in he area, he stated this was due to a seasonal migration. Tt happens every year-land-fill or not" he said.
 Tn answer to the rat argument, City Manager Poland stated the land-fill would not be an attrac- tion for rats. Tt is a scientific fact that rats do not burroW be- low eighteen inches into the ground. Daily covering of the gar bage with six inches of dirt, and eventual covering of more than two feet, will not offer much in- ducement for rats," Poland stated.
 A public hearing on the ques- tion is slated for Monday, Novem- Der A at the City Hall. Interested persons living within the city limits are invited to attend and present their views.

Public Hearing
 Set for Nov. 24

The City's new sanitary land fill came under fire at the City Council meeting Monday, when a resident of the area, Mrs. Leon Johnson, appeared before the council voicing objection to it.
 Tn an impassioned plea to have the operation conducted elsewhere in the city, Mrs. Johnson voiced the opinion that property values in the area would depreciate, that rats would move in and that the general unsightleness of the opera tion was disheartening. Property owners are the ones to suffer, 1" she stated. Tt is very unsanitary. Children going through the area have been seen to kick garbage as they go by This is very unhealthy. The sight of flockS of seagulls who daily cart off garbage, strewing it in our front yards, is not a pleasant sight. Dogs have come home sick, after digging in the garbage. Several rats have been seen in the area--and we have been quite free of them near our homes, up to now"
 J. Richard Pace, City Sanitarian, then spoke, stating that no method of garbage disposal was as satis- factory as the land-fill method.

Confederate Money
tenth In a Series)

An interesting feature Of
Confederate currency is that
every note issued Except the
small 50-cent notes Of 1863
and 1851 was actually signed
by hand. The Confederate
g.. Congress believed this fact
would prevent counterfeiting
and consistently refused to
allow printed signatures.
The first notes issued were
personally signed by the Of
iicials holding the positions
Of Treasurer and Register.
As the production Of notes
increased. 1t soon became
impossible for the two men
to handle the job. and on
July "a. 1851. the Congress
authorized the Treasury De-
partment to appoint clerks to
sign currency.
Evidently the Treasury soon
tired Of maintaining the large
staff Of clerks necessary. and
desired to substitute printed
signatures. II IL believed that
the Treasury Department
asked one Of ite contract,
printers to design q note
bearing printed signatures.
A few were printed and SUBJ
mitted to Congress along with
the recommendation that the
idea be adopted.
The effort was unsuccess-
full. but six Of the special
notes still exist today. being
