Water Situation Under Control

Kodiak's immediate water situ- ation loomed much brighter this week with the installation of two electric pumps to bring a steady eight inch flow of water into the reservoir.
 The two pump motors are being powered by a generator the city rented from the Navy. The pump ing operating will continue as long as necessary to fulfill fresh water demands which will hit peak when the king crab, salmon and shrimp plants are all going full blast later this month.
 Work is progressing on schedule on the Pillar Creek pipeline proj- ect, according to reports.

"If local people aren't available, we have to go out side the city" Asked why he went outside to get a police chief, he replied: No one in my opinio l was capable" Determined to get the best police protection for Ko- diak, he said, he was influenced by the qualifications of the present chief, whom he thought eminently qualified.
 Reeves then asked how the De- partment goes about filling vacan- cies. He said there is no local ad- vertising for applicants. Poland's answer was that in this size city everybody knows when there is a vacancy.
 City Attorney Roy Madsen then voiced the opinion that it would be a good policy for the City to ad- vertise vacancies in any depart ment of the administration.
 More than $7S,O00 was budgeted for the jail and police department, it was brought out in questioning. Some thought this was too high, others just right and still others not enough. It was stated that a town this size can have too much policing. The charge that police officer was going out of his bounds

friendliness in which negotiations took place in Kodiak stood out when compared with the harsh bit terness and violence which at times marred negotiations and required calls for state troopers in other sal mon fishing centers in the state.
 The final A cent price agreed upon is 11a cents less than last years price for humpies. Prices for other species remains the same.
 The contract calls for 750 fish per man per day minimum limit should heavy run of fish, such as last year, occur. It is not gen erally considered probable a limit would be required this season.
 Bob Simon of ADF&G, before departing on quick trip to West ward points such as Chignik, Cold Bay and Sand Point, said fishing was getting off to slow start with nothing exciting as yet de- veloping in the run"
 Simon said, however, that the Olga-Moser-Alitak Sections looked good enough that fishermen will be permitted to fish Saturday and Sunday this week at least.
 It is not generally believed that much, if any, actual fishing time was lost due to the lateness of fish runs developing in the bays. ADF&G spokesmen had advised that even had an early agreement between fishermen and canners made fishing possible, no fishing would have been permitted due to the very poor run and escapement of reds. Agreements have been reached in most other fishing areas in the state also. The Bristol Bay areas season was described as the poorest in the history of the fish, cry" Also a heavy run of salmon in SEE Alaska lasted only one day, according to reports.

Sea Claims Two At Larsen Bay

A 19-year-old girl is dead from drowning and 21-year-old youth is still missing and presumed dead at Larsen Bay.
 Burial services were held Sun- day, July 2, at Larsen Bay for Eve lyn Carlsen whose body was found washed up on the beach in Larsen Bay last Saturday, July 6. She and Joe Naumoff, 21, failed to return from a trip in a powered skff on Friday, July 5. The skiff was later found on the beach with half tank of gas left. Naumoff's body has not yet been recovered.
 It is believed that the skiff, which was considered overpoWered, lurched and threw the two into the sea and kept on going until it hit the beach where it was found.
 The girl was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Harry Carlsen of Larsen Bay. Survivors include four broth CTS, Bob, IF; Ted, 15; David, 2 and Herman, 20.
