COUNCIL PROVIDES FOR COLLECTION j
OF TAXES. MAYOR’S LETTER
At a special meeting of the Sew
ard City Council last evening a com
munication was received from Mayor
McDonald in which he stated in part
as follows:
Seward, Alaska, July 9,1917.
To the Common Council of the City of
Seward:
Gentlemen:—
As executive of the City of Sew
ard, 1 desire at this time to submit
the following report and recommen
dations for your future consideration:
The Fire Department has been en
tirely reorganized and consists of the
following members: Chief, Chas.
Wiley; Assistant Chief, J. C. Hutton;
R. L. Thompson, A. G. Anderson,
Robt. Romig, B. V. High. Leo Mar
gules, Chas. Cooper, Dan Skiatitis, C.
W. Fraser, Joe Campbell, L. W. Nor
denshuld, O. H. Poehlman, Chas. Ben
son, Frank Ennis, Lind and Ed. Craw
ford and L. L. James. In addition to
these, the Engineer in charge for the
Alaska Engineering Commission, has
promised four men.
After the appointment of Mr. Wiley
as Chief. 1 received a communication
from uic Seward Volunteer Fire De
artment, signed by Mr. Stanton as
Secretary, which stated they had re
i signed, in a body.
The officers of the old Department
took with them all the records and
j other property which they claimed did
not belong to the city. This included
the money which was on deposit and
which amounted to about $205 I am
told. This money, their Treasurer in
forms me, went to pay salaries and
sick benefits.
This, I believe, is a matter for the
City Attorney to determine, and if he
holds that this property belongs to the
City instead of the retiring members
of the Volunteer Fire Department, a
demand should be made for a return of
all records and property that was in
their hands at the time of resignation.
“Relative to the unpaid taxes for
101(>, I recommend that all property
upon which taxes are now delinquent
and past due, be sold without delay
and that the City Attorney be directed
to take the next boat to Valdez and ar
range for sale.
“I also recommend that a street be
opened to the San Juan Fish Com
pany’s property as soon as a confer
ence can be had with Mr. Christianson
and that the Seward Water and Power
Company be directed to extend their
! mains and install a hydrant near
enough to give them the necessary fire
protection, as soon as possible.
“The street work on Fifth Avenue
should be completed and the work on
Third Avenue, petitioned for last year,
should have your early attention.
“Relative to the petition to open
Seventh Avenue, which, I am informed
is to come up again, I do not believe
that it would be advisable to attempt
j this work this year. The condition of
the City’s finances are such that un
necessary improvements like the build
ing of another bridge over the Glacier
stream ought not to be ordered in this
year.
“At this time, let me again call
your attention to the necessity of an
ticipating your wants in the several
departments of the City, so that prac
tically everything that is a necessity
can be included in our annual budget.
| In this way we can determine what
the actual expense of the City will
be for the coming year.
“Will ask the chairman of each of
the standing committees to prepare a
statement of what his department will
need, together with the approximate
cost of each item, keeping in mind that
we must hold down the expenses in
each department.
“During the month of June, Dr. Ito

miff, Councilman Chamberlain and I
made an inspection of the new ceme
tery and the surroundings.
“It is quite evident that a more un
desirable location could not have been
selected for a cemetery, for the reason
that it lies directly in the path of the
overflow from a glacier stream and
will be under water a part of each
season. 1 recommend that but little
money be spent on this site in way of
improvement for the reason that the
City will have to find a new location
to make a permanent cemetery. For
the present, with the assistance of
the Alaska Road Commission the
water has been diverted, but in my
opinion it will always make this loca
tion unsuitable.”
The petition to improve Seventh
Avenue was laid over indefinitely.
A resolution authorizing the City
Attorney to go to Valdez in regard to
the sale of property for delinquent
taxes was passed.
