NOTICE
To the Voters of the City of Seward:
In announcing my candidacy for the
office of Mayor of the City of Seward,
I want to say that I am an independ- j
ent, in every sense of the word, and
have not been brought out by any |
man or faction.
This statement that I am a repre
sentative of some particular faction
is made intentionally to cover up the
real issues that are to be settled at
the coming election. It is an old trick,
so don’t be deceived by it.
I am a candidate for Mayor because
the records on file in the City Clerk’s
office show, that the Council in 191G
turned over about $11,000 to the pres
ent council.
That they collected in taxes, li
censes, etc., $37,000.
That the city now owes the bank
$5,000, borrowed money, and that
every' cent of this amount, $53,000.
has been spent.
Did you know that the town of
Seward was not only broke, but $5,
000 in debt? Keep these figures, go
to the city clerk’s books and verify
them, then ask these men who are
passing out the “information” that I
am a candidate of some faction, to ex
plain to you why this money has been
wasted, and what the city of Seward
has to show for it? Were it not for
this deplorable condition of affairs,
my petition would never have been
circulated.
Do you realize that it will take a
:onservative council two years to get
the city’s finances back on a solid
basis ?
In view of the above statement,!
t you think, it is about time to
»ake a change?
I have had several years experience
in municipal work and have allowed
mv name to go on the ballot, thinking,
that I may be of some service to my
town.
Should I be elected. I will use my I
influence with the council at all times J
to hold down expenses, to give careful
attention to all matters brought be*
fore that body and, as your executive, i
will try to give you a business-like
administration, and enforce the exist
ing ordinances.
I am in favor of increasing the ef
ficiency of our fire department and
will render such assistance as the
members of this department deem
necessary, to build it up.
Here is what you have to decide:
If the voters and taxpayers of Sew
ard are satisfied with the way your
*
business is being conducted, and can
stand for another $53,000 year, the
thing to do, is to vote for the men
who are candidate* for re-election.
If you want to change from a policy
of reckless extravagance to one of
business and economy, I will appreci
ate your support and votes.
This, I believe, places the issues
squarely before you.
samuel McDonald.
SEVERAL LEAVE
FOR CORDOVA TO
ATTEND COURT
Several Seward people left last
night on the Watson to be present at
the term of court, which opens on the
second of April at Cordova. Charles
Crawford, L. Bates, Frank Skeen and
Charles Esmwiler have been sum
moned as jurors, and Attorney L. V.
Ray will be one of the defense coun
sel in the case of the United States
vs. Otto and Caroline Kanitz.
The Kanitz case is attracting more
attention than any other on the Cor
dova calendar, they being indicted by
the last grand jury and charged with
arson in connection with the five fires
which occurred in Valdez early on the
morning of January 2, and which
destroyed a great portion of the busi
ness section. The district attorney is
being assisted in the prosecution by
E. E. Ritchie of Valdez, and the de
fendants are represented by Senators
Ray and Hubbard, and Leon C.
Booker.
