THE ALASKA PROSPECTOR
Published at Valdez. Alaska, every Thursday by the Prospector
Publishing Co. Phone. Main 1.
Entered at the Valdez postoflice as second class matter.
The action started about a month
ago by the city attorney to secure
the federal licenses paid the gov
ernment by the wharves has been
blocked by clerk of the court Hei
lig. Mr. Heilig agreed to sign a
statement of facts, prepared by the
attorneys of th town, which was
to be presented to the court. This
statement showed the injustice of
the wharf monies going to the fed
eral government instead of to the
town, and there was every reason I
to believe the judge would have:
decided in favor of the town, but |
Heilig left without signing the
stattment. and later wired his
deputy not to sign for him. With
out the clerk’s signature the court
can take no action on this state
ment of facts, and it forces the
town to institute mandamus pro
ceedings. which can not he settled
until nest year. The town loses
about 91500 which rightfully l»e
longs to it,by this action of the clerk.
The Fairbanks News is lievoting
considerable space to urging the
city government and individual
citizens to lire their influence with
senators and congressmen for the
advancement of wagon road legis
lation. Fairbanks people now ap
preciate the advantages of this
route and will do good work in
Washington for a wagon road from
here, but what is Valdez, which
has as great interests at stake as
Fairbanks, doing to further road
building? The Chamber of Com
merce has apparently had a relapse
since appointing a delegate, and
has tried to do nothing. We have
not heard that either of our dele
gates are doing anything, and in
fact do not know that they are in
Washington at all, or that they
have am-pted the honors thrust
upon them by the Chamber of Com
merce,
\\ e again urge vigorous action
on the part of our city council and
of the citizens of Fairbanks in the
matter of securing the passage of
tl»e Alaska roads bill at the present
Session of congress, and our share
of the appropriation. Had we now
a good road between this town and
Valdez our mail service would be
vastly lietter and passengers and
important *reight would he coming
