Propose Plan For Airport Construction; Who To Supervise?" Question Asktd

brought out that council members were elected City officials but were not elected by residents of the area in question. What about the upkeep? Are we to assume that, too?" Patterson said we should forget community" and "C&y." This project is for the benefit of the people of Kodiak. "
 The Council on voice vote, elected to get the project under way by arranging a meeting of the Council and residents of the area to map out a construction pro- gram.
 Sherrard was then introduced by City Manager Poland, and out lined the various methods of con- struction of the new road pro- posed by engineers in his depart ment. He gave a master plan of urban type of construction that he said would cost approximately $1,O00,000. This he thought, was more road than needed at present. Of several alternate plans, some of which called for rural type. of construction, which was the orig inal plan, and combined rural and urban construction, with side walks, storm drains, curbing. his alternate plan D, costing npproxi- mately $650, ,0o0, met with the ap- proval of the Council. This called for SO foot wide road, curbing part way. four foot sidewalks onay in the downtown area and rural type of construction throughout the undeveloped areas.
 The Council voted in favor of the latter method. Sherrard then slated that a design could be drawn up in two months, and bids called for, assuring construction this year. .ss

Gov. Egan Hits At Sec'y Seaton's
 Fishing Proposals

JUNEAU Ex-Governor William Egan and Attorney General John ,Rader levied heavy criticism at the proposed 1860 fishing regula- tions announced by Secretary of Interior Fred Seaton.
 Egan said the proposals ad. vanced last week by the Bureau of Indian Affairs extend far be yond any such issued in the past by Fish and Wildlife Service. Rader called them an attempt to regain control of Alaska fisheries" by the agency of the Federal gov ernment, on the basis that native fishing rights are being protected.
 Regulations would permit oper. etion again this year of II Native fish traps in Southeastern Alaska, despite State laws which ban any such use of that type gear. In addition, 10 other Southeastern trap sites are designated in the proposed regulations, but no all. thority granted for their use this year. E'
 Rader said, Tt appears that on the basis of race, regulations our. port to exempt persons of Indian or Native blood from State Fish and Game regulations at the op- ton of the Secretary of Interior, in some areas and for some pur- poses" Egan said. ''It seems pc. culiar that former Federal regu. lations permitted fishing by all U. s. citizens"
 Both took particular exception to proposed regulations relating to Karluk fishery, Kodiak Island. Rader said the fishery had been "open to natives and whites alike, as have all the rest of Alaska fish cry resources, for many years. However, Seaton's proposed regu- lations purport to now give these resources exclusively to persons of Indian blood in Karauk." @'s E

Cold Storage Plant Survey To Be Made;
 Many Resolutions Passed By Chamber

Action is forthcoming on the cold storage plant, according to report given the Chamber of Com merce by City Manager Bill Pol and.
 Poland stated a representative from the Bureau of Fisheries is arriving in Kodiak next week to conduct a survey on the cold stor- age potential here. The survey is being conducted as a. result of in. formation supplied by Sen. Bart lett.
 Rep. Pete Deveau spoke to the Chamber group, outlining various bills which passed the State Leg islature. He referred to the land ing lew. for which he was co- sponsor, the annexation bill, the teachers salary bill. The latter, he said, was voted down because no provision had been made for funds to cover the increase. The legis- lature, he said, favored the in- crease.
 Deveau predicted passage of the State ferries bill, which will be voted on in the general election in November. He said the ferries will become a reality by 1861.
 A number of resolutions adopt. ed by the merchants at recent meeting. and presented by Don Wolf, were adotped. These will be taken to the State Chamber of c o m m CT c at it's meeting in Petersburg. In the resolutions, the merchants ask that the State group seek more stringent provi- sions in peddlers licenses, a review and overhaul of the business license act, making it a control measure rather than a gross re ceip.S tax measure as now. Efforts on behalf of the State organiza- tion ito investigate industrial pos sibilities of Alaska, and measures to encourage outside investment. The Georgia Plan was cited as a good enc. s'a
 Lloyd Cannon offered five reso- lutions pertaining to the fishing industry, which were adopted. These called for a reciprocal agreement with California, Ore gon, Washington and British Co., lumbia for fishing outside the state boundaries; for fishing with in the 12-mile limit; a higher tar if on shrimp and canned fish products; and sought to boycott salmon shipped in to the United States caught by foreign nationals using gear illegal for U. s. fish ermen.

 Richard Downing, Commissioner sf Public Works. Milton Donner, also of the State Public Works, Eagene G. Roguszka, Director of she Division of Aviation, and Mr. Sherrard, of the Highway Division, attended the meeting.
 Clarification, however, as to whether this is to be a City or community project was sought by a resident of the area.
 Downing, under whose depart nsent the project comes, Gtated that he saw no reason why the airport couldn't be built by this tinae next year, if a start were made soon. He stated that due to the limited funds aflocated to the prciect,--a sum of some $l25, ,00O- 1he work would have to be nccom- plished under local planning, uti- kzing the resources Of t!le com nnnity His department, he said, wouid furnish the design and hs- sist in the engineering work, but actual construction would have to be done by local means. This, he said, Is outlined by the bin author ising construction.
 Rpg,rszka spoke briefly reiter- ating statements by Downing. and stating that his department will furnish data as to type and meth cd of construction.
 In the discussion that followed, various members of the audience and City Council spoke. Chuck Weir, Airport Projects Committee Chairman of the Chamber of Com merce. then stated he saw no req son why the construction shouldn't begin soon. Harry Felton, a resi- dent of the area, then asked if this was to be City project or a com munity project. Considerable dis eussion then followed as to who should spearhead the construction, the City Council or a committee comprised of city and area resi- dents. Mayor Coon stated he thought the Council should, but Council members were divided on this. Councilman P atterSon

Then we tried to read aloud to
each other but Donna was bowling
louder than we could, so we had
to give that up and return to just
sitting it out. We sat close together
in the corner by the ice box, the
most protected spot.
BY seven o'clock we had water
all over the house, in every room.
SO we had another saucer Of ice
cream. Donna screamed and howl
ed and We could hear unseen things
crash against the house. But the
house, including the glass doors,
held firm. By 10 o'clock l thought
the wind was lessening and by II
we were sure of it, Being absolute
ly exhausted we went to bed, just
threw ourselves down without
bOthering to change clothing and
went right to sleep. | did not hear

rified. l swung my feet out Of bed
and ploppcd them into an inch of
cold water Finally l sloshcd to
the phone. The call was from =
ncighbor who had a transistor radio
and who had heard the ALAN that
14-fOot tidal wave was imminent
and that we should get out of there
fast This IS the only time we were
really frightened. Il was almost
midnight, total darkness, wind still
bowling. A quick mental calulatiOn
told us a 14-foot tidal wave would
put about 8 feet of water in the
house. We just stood and looked at
each other, too frightened TO know
what to do Finally we snapped out
Of it and made a dash for the door
In the car port we found cur two
neighbors who had also heard the
news and who had phoned the
police to find out if the tidal wave
was true and had been told it was
So we all piled into the car and
took off. Where to, no one knew.
Trying to find a patch of high
ground in Florida is like looking
for water in the middle of the

Had to detour several times be-

road, but we made it and sat there
for two and sone-half hours. The
wind decreased considerably and
the rain stopped so we thought
we could go back home, at least
get as close as we could. We got
all the way home, much to our
amazement and the first thing the
men did was take a lantern down
to the sea wall and measure the
water. 1t was within 2i2 feet of the
top and it was high tide time So
we knew then, without any other
information that the reported tidal
wave had been false. It was four

sloshed through the water and fell
into bed. Up again at Z and spent

RecOuntS Action of
Hurricane Donna"


A first hand report of the ravages
of the hurricane Donna which

the east coast of the United States

NOkomis, Fla.
Nokomis is a town near Venice,

I'VE started to prepare for Don
ma when the word came over TV
that the hurricane watch had been
charged to hurricane warning. Sat
urday morning was spent in final
preparations. We had to bring in
all outside furniture, bird baths,
hose, garbage pals. etc; lower the
TV antenna and tie the boat Sc
curely; had to clean up the neigh
boris yards, too for they were
away and there were things the
wind could pick up and hurl with
deadly force. By noon we were as
ready as we could ever be for
the wind started and soon the
rain came.
Lunch on Saturday was the
last cooked meal we were to have
for over 80 hours. By p. m the
wind was so strong it took the
water right out of the bay and
we could see dry land where it
had never been seen before The
rain never hit the ground. 1t was

the TV and radio were giving us the
position of the storm and telling
us what to do. At about $3.50 the
power went off and then we were
left without any contact with the
outside world. An eerie feeling. AS
it got darker we lit the hurricane
candles and sat huddled in a
corner on the Windward side of
the house. Soon we saw water
coming in under the glass doors
and we tried to mop it up with
towels. But then the wind shifted
and came almost full blast against
the glass doors and they bulged
inward so much we expected them
to break at any minute, so it was
dangerous to go near them to mop
the water. All we could do was
sit and watch the water rise. At
we ate a saucer of ice cream
