A substantial increase in 1861
Studebaker Lark fleet sales, es-
pecially six cylinder models, was
announced today by LIE. Minkel,

it's worth in the toughest taxi prov
ing ground in the nation" Taxi
sales have increased 25 per cent
in comparison with year ago.
Referring to the California fleet
purchase, Fitzpatrick said it was
the direct result of a special, pre-
Introductory test of Studebaker's
new 112 horsepower, overhead
valve six-cylinder engine by state
officials Similar tests of the new
engine were made by a numner
of public and private major fleet
operators with sales as a result,

Kodiak Boom Town With Law & Order

(Ed. note: Kodiak's growth dur ing the prewar years is pretty well summed up in this article, re- print from the Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer during the late '40's, when R. H. Chadwick, Kodiak's first mayor, visited Seattle and was in terviewed.)
 The old Russian town of Kodiak, where the United States navy is building one of it's great strategic bases, is one of the fastest growing towns in North America.
 But take it from it's mayor, R. H. Chadwick, visiting in Seattle, it isn't one of those wide-open, hell roaring Alaska camps that Rex Beach wrote about in the old days. "Of course, with a population made up of a thousand or more construction men and fisher men, we can't be Sunday school town" his honor said. We have to let the men have their fling but we insist on law and order, and get it.''
 Chadwick, who has lived in Ko- diak for only two years, was elected as its first mayor last Sep tember when the town incorpor- ated.

 He has the distinction of being the first mayor of the oldest Pa cific Coast city north of Eureka, Calf. His town was founded AT years ago.
 Kodiak also is unique in that it is entirely free of municipal debt," he added. q guess we're only one of the few cities in the Western World that way"
 Kodiak was a sleepy town of 400, mostly natives and fishermen, when the navy decided to build its base there little over two years ago.
