During the past winter month*
•here has been consumed in Valdez
«eab tv the amount of over 1200
tone; this at $15 per ton laid down
at the consumers^ door* amount*
to an expenditure of IlS^OOO. It is
Unite a large sum for us to- expend
for fuel, especially when we live in
a wooded country. We find it con
venient to* bum eoal and prefer it
C® wood; but if we could bring our
selves into the custom of using
wood, and thus save that amount
ef money we would all realize a
benefit from it, and those who at
certain seasons of the year arc un
employed would find plenty to do
in supplying wood.
Or, if we are to continue using
eoal, let those who have it located
at Cook Inlet or other points along
•lie- coast, get to work and dig it
out and supply our wants. We
will use it, and have not only the
benefits of a good coal, twit also the
satisfaction of Wulding up a home
industry, and utilizing oar own na
tural resources.
• *
The1 appearance of the- streets- is
Being greatly improved by the side
walks that are being builtr and
when the bridge across Second si.
is finished, and some grading done,
we will have the streets in the prin
cipal part of the town in better con
dition than any place of this size in
Alaska- Valdez is so loca&td that
with a small expenditure the streets
ean be put in splendid shape, and
•ur Keystone council do not seem
to be confining their atteutious to
their swn avenue;, so we may ex
pect to see some great ianprwve
ments made by the town tftis sum
mer.
• •
*
Although the expenditure of
Hi8,000 for coal may seem large, it
in safe to say that our liquor houses
Have paid out during the past sea
son over H20,000 for beer- This is
without doubt a large amount for
a borough: like this; too much, in
lact, where we have no pay roll
as a resource. As for ourselves,
though strictly opposed to the use
•f- heer, we would say that if we
are to have beer let us have a home
production,, and keep as much of
that money here u» possible.
* •
*
Home action sliohld be taken in
regard to the horses that are run
ning at large in town. At almost
any hour a bunch «i from five* to
twenty may ho seen stampeding
along the streets endangering the
lives of children. Some day a child
will get hurt, and then, when it is
too late, the stock will he kept off
the streets* !
