Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
 A paved route via Brooklyn Avenue, Rezanof Drive, "J" Street to Potato Patch Lake-thus Mis- sion Road would be wonderful. It could be built to the required specifications of a road as the present route is too narrow and would be too expensive to buy right-of-ways.
 It would be maintenance free for many years. With the savings that batch plant the Council was thinking of could be brought to pave the route now used. I feel in the long run the City would come out on the winning side and be able to build other roads on plan ming table instead of fighting mud dy country roads all the time, getting nowhere.
 Sincerely,
 M. L. Chandler

Mirrored Reflections :.
By Sig Digree

The plan to abolish the personal property tax as proposed by Mayor Coon and substitute in it's stead the 1 per cent sales tax now levied for the Small Boat Harbor, is not without merit.
 The levying of the personal prop erty tax has been obnoxious in many ways as it presents loop holes for the individual who wat cred down" values in declaring his personal property. It also is seem ingly impossible to arrive at fair figure as to values.
 The idea is not new. The Fair banks city manager is now working on a similar plan to increase the far north city's sales tax and abol- ish the personal property tax.
 Kodiak is in a better position in this regards as no increase in the sales tax will be necessary, but it will mean merely the approval of taxpayers to reallocate 1 per cent of the tax now levied for use as a personal property tax.
 The Fairbanks city manager voiced the opinion that the sales tax would reach all groups on an equal basis. Transients would share in the cost of operating the city. He also cited that cost of admins tration would be cut sharply.
 With such tax, it will relieve the burden on the taxpayer. Peo- pie in the area temporarily would help pay for the facilities they enjoy. It would help the retailer, and cut his book work. Without doubt, this method of providing funds for the city and eliminatiEs of an objectionable tax at th4 same time, may be the answer.
 The pro and con arguments which appeared in the Kodiak Mirror last week - regarding the constructing of the hi way through the city-covered the sub- ject fairly we'll considering the limited space, and offered food for thought.
 We are inclined to agree with the "con" arguments that the high way as planned is not necessary.

Oscar Nelson, old time resident of Kodiak, now retired and living in California, said a nasty goodbye last week as he departed Kodiak following a couple months stay here.
 Oscar came out of retirement mainly to sell his last remaining property here, but did little fish ing on the side (he's another one of those old-time fishermen with fish oil in his veins instead of blood, and you couldn't keep him away from the fishing grounds if you tried).
 He apparently harvested a nice catch, because he said q had to quit because I'd only be working for Uncle Sam if I caught any more. Besides, Pm behind on several Social Security checks al- ready"

We have never been too keen about constructing the new sec tion as planned on U" street and through to Mission Road. The widening of the roads to meet specifications necessary for Fed eral participation, has seemed an unnecessary waste of money, be- sides working a hardship on some of the owners of abutting property In the long run, the highway would only provide a speedway in the heart of the city and in a resi- dential area past the school. As already pointed out this provides new hazards to playing children.
 It might be advisable to investi- gate the possibility of surfacing the two well travelled existing roads, namely Brooklyn and Mis- sion roads, widening these to 50 feet instead of 60, thus diverting the traffic two ways-a much more satisfying arrangement anyway.
 Funds for the municipally con- tracted construction of the two roads could be obtained from floating a bond issue, which could be paid back from sales tax funds thus would be eliminated the red tape" and cumbersome ma chinery of two government agen- cies who don't seem to see eye to eye on methods, specifications, etc.
 A factor that should be consider ed, too, is that by this method much of the labor could be local hire and so specified in the con- struction contract, thus circulating more money for local spending.
 venture to say, we could have adequate roads in a much shorter which in time would get paid for without any undue strain on municipal or individual funds We would pay a price for inde- pendence, but we would have roads, and that's what counts.
