Col. I’n*drrick Meats. Chairman of
ihe Alaskan Engineering Commission, j
in a letter to Mayor Chamberlin, i
which was read last night at the coun
cil meeting, discussed various matter^
regarding the municipality presented
to him on his first visit to Seward af
ter coming north, about six weeks
ago.
The floating dock, as before men
tioned in the Gateway, has been set
tled. the commission to place a barge
for small boat landings at the SeWaH
dock which will answer the present re
quirements. Free dockage will h<* af
forded and there will be no tariff
charge for the necessary running sup
plies for the boats.
Regarding control or the giflcmi
stream. Col. Mears says it is believ« ;1
that the problem o! the stream
through the townsite of Seward
very largely a matter for the mm i< i
pality to solve. The railroad can readi
ly accommodate their tracks or depot
sit * near the mouth of Lowell Creek
to confirm to any reasonable plan of
control which the city might deter-,
mine. Col. Mears cites the City of Val
dez, which had similiar troubles with
a glacial stream, which were over
come by the construction of a dike,
built by the United States Engineor
e Department from moneys specific
ally appropriated by Congress for the
purpose. It might be possible to se
cure congressional action in the case
of Seward, suggests CoL Mears, which
could permit of work being done con
fining Ixjwell Creek within its pres
ent channel.
In reference to access to the water
front, Col. Mears says that the Eng:n
eer in Cha.ge at Seward is opposed L>
the extortion of streets or the grant
ing of fr*e access to the warehouses
ard appmac.i trestles leading to the
dock east of the urn* marked by Fou.mI
avenue but where* is nc objection, how
ever, to the fr»*e isc nf the waterf/ont
1> ing we si *f } oi'.cth Avenue.
Regarding reduction of freight
rates and wharfage charges, Col.
Mears says he regrets that he wdl he
unable to meet the request. “The rates
in force compare very favorably with
similiar charges made by other rail
roads operating in Alaska.” says Col.
.Mears, “and to the charges made
along the Pacific Coast, when we take
into consideration the small amount of
commercial business offered at Dm
Seward dork or along the line of Dm
railroad. The present revenue derived
from these sources is not sufficient to
pay operating expenses, much less
maintenance charge, and in view of
the present tendency to raise the ocean
freight rates and our other expenses,
it would seem to be an inopportune
time to reduce the rates at the Sew
ard dock or along the line of the Alas
kan Railroad.”
