Phone Inquiries
 Delay Volunteers Police Chief Says

Cooperation of all Kodiak resi- dents has been asked by the Vol unteer Fire Department and Chief of Police K. E. Vickery to refrain from calling about fire locations after the siren has sounded at least five minutes.
 "The volunteers call the police number to receive the location of the fire and when somebody else is using the line it ties the vol unteers up," the Chief said, add ing, "and this delay could be costly in fire damage or human lives.'
 We don't mind giving the in fOrmatiOn-but please hold up for five minutes after the siren sounds" he concluded.

Shortage Looms

A serious water shortage will be faced by Kodiak if the present practice of running water to pre- vent freezing is continued, accord ing to City officials.

Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DECREE

In reply to your request to send a check for my dues, wish to in- form you that the present condition of my bank account makes 1t al- most impossible. My shattered fi- nancial conditions is due to federal laws, state laws, county laws, city laws, corporation laws, liquor laws, mother-inlaws, brother-in laws, sister-in-laws, and outlaws.
 Through these laws am expect ed to pay business tax, amuse- ment tax, head tax, school tax, gas tax, food tax, furniture tax, and excise tax, and even my brains are taxed. I am required to get a bus mess license, hunting and fishing license, car license, and tru c k license, not to mention marriage license and dog license.
 I am also required to contribute to every society and organization which the genius of man is capable of bringing to life; to Women's Re- lief, the Unemployment Relief, and the Gold Diggers' Relief. Also to every hospital and charitable or ganization in the city.
 For my own safety, I am requir- ed to carry life insurance, property insurance, liability insurance, burg lary insurance, accident insurance, business insurance, earthquake in surance, unemployment insurance, old age and fire insurance.
 My business is so governed that it is no easy matter for me to find out who owns it. I am inspected expected, disrespected, rejected dejected, examined, reexamined

 We are unable to fathom the ac- tion of a group in the Leite and Urdahl Additions who are oppos- ing the water and sewer project planned for the area. ,
 Adequate sewer and water ia cilities are as necessary for city's growth as food and water for the human body. An inadequacy of either one or both can stunt an areas growth, and more important, offers an opportunity for unsani- tary and unhealthy conditions to exist. The latter is due to the fact it is up to the individual to do all in his power to provide sanitary conditions, and sometimes he fails to do so.
