SEWARD. ALASKA, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1913.
New city councils are always strong on making new rules and regulations
and the present council is no different from any of the others. Last night
all sorts of rules and regulations were embodied in a new ordinance and the
chances are that if the old ordinances were looked up it would be found that
the new rules contradict them in many respects. By the way, the new or
dinance for rules and regulations includes a clause by which ordinances in
future can be either posted in three conspicuous places or can be printed in
the newspaper. Now, this very new ordinance itself has about ten pages of
typewritten sections and clauses but the city council decided to have three
copies of it posted in typewritten letters in three pubilc places instead of
having it printed in the newspaper.
Just imagine our busy citizens standing in front of a voluminous docu- j
ment like that in a public place and thumbing one sheet after another and
cracking their arms to hold one sheet while their necks are cracking to read
the pages beneath!
This is real economy. One of the councilmen, with that brilliant subtlety
which was chiefly responsible for placing him in his exalted office, declared
that as the Gateway itself paid taxes it would rather have the expense of
printing the ordinance cut out. In other words the Gateway would object to
paying money into its own pockets if doing so meant the acquisition of some
more money. What extraordinarily inspired logic!
How comforting is the contemplation of an economy so ingenious. I ar
ticularly comforting is it when contemplated in a body which started off by
raising the expenditures of the city to the classical standard of the drunken
sailor—expenditures which may have been or may not have been suggested
by personal or political friendship.
But, the business men of the town can take a day off on some fine oc
casion and stand in the post office or the jail for an hour or two and thumb
that ordinance to rags while ab>orbing its statesmanlike utterances. Hang
the time of the business man; It is much better for a taxpayer to stand
reading at a corner for an hour than to pay three cents for the printing. Be- j
sides, the business man must pay those thousands of dollars of extra salaries.
At last we have a council with the interests of the taxpayers at heart, j
Heaven be praised. _^j
A great many people outside and
inside Alaska are now anxious to get
any news they can of the place where
the government railroad will be. To
save writing letters you could send
the Gateway, either your own read
copy or get another.
The finest kind of job work as well
as the plainest is done by the Gate
way.
