The alleged excursion on the‘*4th of
July” to Anchorage, is not satisfying
to the city council of Seward, nor t«>o
scores of others who would perhaps
have made the trip had a real excurs
ion bet*n operated. I he matter was
brought up at the city council meeting
last night by Mayor Chamberlin fol
lowing the leading of a lettev from
agent K. L. Sweek, of Seward, asking
to be advised not later than June 2t>
regarding the probable number of ex
cursionists who might go from Sew
aid. Agent Sweek also stated in his
letter to the council that the train
schedule, as far as kno>vn now, would
be, leave Seward at 8 o’clock on the
morning of July 3rd. leaving for Sew
ard from Anchorage on Tuesday, July
6th at 8 o'clock in the morning, the
Monday train being cancelled.
Mayor Chamberlin suggested that
the special committee of the council,
Messers Orlander and Homer, take up
with the commission the operation of
an excursion train from Seward on
Sunday morning, July 4th. As it is
the train out of Seward on July 3rd is
the regular train. Sewardite* going to
Anchorage on duly 3 and returning on j
Tuesday would have a longer stay
away from business than is thought
feasible. If a t r.in was operated from
Seward on Sunday, leaving here at 7
or S oVIoei: in the morning, many
would he able to take advantage of tho
trip but would not be able to go if on
the regular train on Saturday. The
suggestion of the Mayor was adopted
unanimously by the council and the j
committee instructed to work for a
special train if possible.
