Mayor E. E. Chamberlain
handed the following com
munication to the clerk, Mr.
C. A. Estes for reading;
. Town of Seward
Seward, Alaska Feb. 3.
To the Honorable Members
of the Town Council:
Seward, Alaska.
Owing to other public du
ties, I herewith tender my re
signation as Mayor of Sew
ard, to take effect Feb. 8,
1921
Very Respectfully
- E. E. CHAMBERLAIN
• Mayor
The resignation was read
mid accepted by the council
through the usual channels.
Councilman Ellsworth then
delivered an address of
thanks to the mayor on be
half of the Councilmen, in
which he commended Sena
tor Chamberlain upon his ef
ficient work while Mayor
and his loyal attitude to
ward everything that tended
to benefit Seward. Mr Cham
herlain responded with a
short speech of sincere
j hanks. Before leaving the
mayor’s chair the following
'etter was read by the clerk:
To the Honorable* Town
Council,
Seward, Alaska.
Before leaving the Mayors
:hair I want to thank each
md every member of the
Town Council and all of the
ifficers of the Town of Sew
ard for their loyalty and
good will shown me in my of
;icial capacity. It is with re
gret that I leave you at this
,ime, as there is much to dc
and many matters of vital
importance remain unfinish
Allow me to state that the
Town of Seward is in geo;
condition financially ant
,ble during the coming ycai
;o make many needed im
provements. In order to kee;
pace with the material ex
nected growth of Seward
md of all Alaska, in the nea;
future I wish to call your at
tention to the importance oi
adding two more rooms tc
our school building, so that
beginning with the fall tern
our school board can com
plete arrangements for z
complete High School Sys
tern, as. suggested by Mr
Hendereon, Supt. of Educa
tion for Alaska.
You should renew your ef
forts to secure from the Fet
eral Government a watei
front site to be used for var
i0us purposes, as they arise.
The improvement' of tht
glacier stream should be coi:
tinued along one line. I real
ize that nearly £very votei
has an idea of his owr\, how
the work should be done. It
is a perplexing question but
after much study and thot
if you have decided to ust
the materials at hand and
improve the stream in such
a way that the work will not
have to be renewed it will be
a permanent improvement# I
advise you to hold to one
plan and devote all y»ur en
ergy to secure aid from the
National government to com
plete the work
Steps should be taken to
improve the* city lots by a
permanent building, for city
purposes and the housing of
the fire department An-ex
tra tax levy for a year or so
* % • %N :
will solve the question. 11
must be done and I can se
no better time than'the pre
sent. If you ever intend t
build up Seward to the posi
tion we should occupy as :
model terminal of the Gov
emment owned railway.
“There are a number o:
other important subjectsj
will call to your attention ii
a future communication. 1
will be at all times subject t(
your wishes so that I may a:
hist you in >?1 matters tend
ing toward the improvemen
of Seward and Alaska ir
general ■
“I thank the citizens of
Seward for their cordial sup
port and trust that they wil.
continue to act as one unit
for the community’s general j
welfare.
Very Respectfully,
E. E. CHAMBERLAIN
Mayor.?
The departure of mayor
Chamberlain will leave a va
cancy in the Mayor’s chair
which will be filled tempor
arily by Councilman McNeer
who is president pro-tem of
the council. Councilman H.
E. Ellsworth asked for and
was granted a two months
leave of absence so that he
would be enabled to attend
important business in the
states
Alter disposing of several
claims the common coun
c*l took up the matter of the
bill of the Seward Light anc
Power Company for the
month of January. There
was some difference of opin
ion expressed regarding the
j amount which should be
paid. The Light company
charged for a full month in
cluding the days when the
cower was completely shut
i iff or was. of such an infer
or quality as to compel the
, ;ires using to resort to oth
er lighting means. After
nuch discussion the bill was
ordered paid.
Another communication
bead to the council was from
^urtis Morford, attorney re
t was to the effect that the
presenting Mr. Peter Ogle,
'.own of Seward was noti
ced that the occupation
ent of $5.00 per month had
>een raised to $50.00 per
.ionth, said raise to take ef
fect on Feb-1, 1921. The
mildings occupied by the
Jouncii, Fire Department
,nd the Tpwn Jail belong to
che town of Seward. The 2
jts they occupy ' belong to
. Ir. Ogle. Prior to his secur
iig tliem from the original
iv/ner, Mr. Ballaine, the oc
cupation rent has always
ceen $5.00 per month. The in

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Re
triction of immigration by
sgislation is a prerogative
hat cannot be questioned un
3ss nations wish to lose
;heir independence, Repre
entative William N. Vaile,
f Colorado told members of
The National Republican
Jlub in an address here to
I iay. , .
Touching on the Califor
lia-Japanese situation Vaile
who is a member of the
douse Committee on Immi
gration declared, “we should
aot fear war with any na
tion for exercising our right
to determine whom we will
admit to remain here.”
He said that unrestricted
influx of an unassimilable
race, as he described the Jap
anese would start the white
race “on a toboggan slide.”
“I contend that numanitar
ian reasons or reasons of in
ternational comity, do not
compel us to submit to such
extinction.
“I am a great admirer of
the Japanese race. I believe
that tnose who have come
here have been, in the main,
of economic benefit but they
are unassimilable. Assimila
tion is not desired by either
/ace, and especially not by
jurs, because they, by work
jig longer hours, by work
ing in greater detail and by
living less could crowd the
white man out, is not to my
mind any argument at all
for allowing him to do so.”
The speaker urged enact
ment of pending immigra
tion legislation to keep out,
■‘reckless hordes from unfor
tunate countries of the
world.” __
W. W. Stoddard, who is
connected with the Account- (
ing department of the Alas
Ka Engineering Commis
sion arrived in Seward from
Anchorage last Wednesday
light on the Flier. Mr. Stod
dard has been granted a six
„y day leave of absence to en
lble him to go to Oakland,
1 California, where he will un
! dergo treatment for deaf
ness. Mr. Stoddard is an old
time Alaskan and Is well
known in Seward where he
,vas formerly connected
vith the Seward Postoffice.
He is enthusiastic in his be
lief that Alaska is destined
to make rapid progress to
ward development just as
soon as the government rail
way is completed between
Seward and Fairbanks. He
will go south on the North
western.
