When Col. Fiedonck Mcars, t l'
man of ihe Alaskan Engineering Com
mission. anti Assistant Secretary o»
the Interior HalloweM were recently
in Seward. Mayor K. E. Chamberlin,
in behalf of the city council, submitted
many important mutters to the olfic
ials. These matters, all important to
Seward, were taken up orally and :t»
the same time copies of the various
subjects were submitted in writing
anti they were as follows:
Hon. Frederick H. Mears,
Chairman Alaska Engineering ( om
misgion.
Sic
ily a resolution passetl by the Sew
ard City Council I have been instruct
ed. as Mayor of the City, to present
for your consideration, anti recommen
dation to your superiors, certain ques
tions that effect the City’s growth ami
future welfare. 1 heso are such a
should interest the Government, o
whom we are all a part, as well as th**
citizens of this municipality and
neighborhood. Our only relief is by
early consideration and prompt action,
by the various officials empowered by
the people to act in their behalf.
Some of these tpu stions have been
brought to the attention of certain of
ficials. but no action has been taken,
or relief granted; in other cases there
has not been a reply.
The citizens of Seward wish to co
operate with the commission ar;d work
in harmony with them for the general
good and advancement of the terri
tory.
I hog to submit for your consider
ation:
FIRST:— That the City of Seward,
by the City Council, has voted for. an l
submitted plans, empowering a special
committee, to build a floating dock to*
the use of small power boats used fo
pleasure, and fishing boats engaged
in fishing on the banks outside Resur
rection Bay. By the City’s maintaining
such a dock the business can be large
ly increased, and many more boa's
makeSeward their home port. ,
All other towns along the South
eastern coast have provided docks for
the mosquito fleet, and Seward, in or
der to compete in the halibut industry,
must provide free wharfage and an
ohorage for these boats.
Permission is asked for the erects
of such a dock, at our own expense
and maintenance, behind the west ex
tension of the commercial dock unti
such time as the City is able to rmt
and maintain a permanent one.
The plans have been submitted to
the Engineer in Charge and are await
ing the approval of the proper offic
ials.
SECOND: The Glacier Stream
known as Lowell Creek, has been r
source of continual trouble, and dam
age, both to the City and to the pro
perty of the Government. The City o«
Seward would like to take up the mat
ter of a permanent control of th;
stream with you and make some equit
able anangoment who re by the Cit\
ran pay such an amount as can be
agreed up »n. and the Government bea»
their part of the cost, so as to remove
th i.-* soiree' of danger to Governmen
,» oport.v and various city interests.
Such improvement to be under tie*
Government’s direction, or the City’s,
as may be agreed upon.
Kach } ear of delay adds cost to
SoA'ard taxpayers and each year, more I
damage is done to Government and
City property.
