With all coimcilmen present j
with the exception of Elwyn j
Swetmann and with Council- j
man J. S. Hofman in the capa
city of acting mayor owing to j
the absence of Mayor P. C. Me
Mullen, the Seward City Council
in- regular session Monday night,
put in an energetic evening.
The 1930 delinquent tax roll,
probably the largest in a num
ber of years by reason of relin
quishment, apparently, of a
large slice of city lots held by
a Seattle concern, was passed
with publication of the list to
stnrt during the first week of next
month.
President W. C. Erwin, of the
School board, was present and
requested a loan of $300; same
was granted.
A large portion of the session I
was devoted to discussion of the !
present and future street prob- j
lem, an emergency having arisen !
due to the heavy snow-fall of'
the past few days and which, to
a certain extent, prohibits ordi
nary traffic. It was decided to
continue the work which was
begun Monday, plowing wide
pathways through all the streets
within the city limits and to
better in every way possible, the
local street and avenue condition.
LOSING TONNAGE NOW
A concrete example tending to prove the proposal
to raise rates on the Alaska Railroad in order to cut
down the annual deficit, will probably have the oppo-1
site effect, making a larger deficit, is seen in the state- j
ment of a contractor who has just passed through the |
city enroute to Seattle where he will build a boat for an
Interior client.
If the freight rate is increased he said he would j
be compelled to ship the 50 foot boat direct to St Mich
ael next spring and run it up the Yukon to the delivery
point. He said the freight charge into Nenana from
Seattle would be $750; from Seattle to St. Michael the j
cost would be far less.
And, in addition, he will ship with the boat about;
14 tons of general freight which otherwise would have;
passed over the Alaska Railroad.
‘Tin willing to pay a fair rate/' he said, “but I’m j
not going to be anyone's ‘goat’ if I can avoid it.”
HELP! POLICE! ARSON!
Listen to this one from a recent edition of the
Alaskan, that great banner of freedom published in
Southeastern Alaska:
SEND HIM TO JUNEAU
'Jf * $ * :jc $ -Jf. ;j; ^ if jle
Recently Fremont Willis of Brocton, Mass., killed three
skunks with two shots when he saw them coming into his
back yard. A man like that should be hired by the Biological
Survey and sent to Juneau where he could really do some
good with his rifle.
We don’t like that line. If the Alaskan has it in for
sone 0? 8 at Juneau, let them name names and have
done with it. Don’t act like a pole-cat or howl like a
coyote. Name them! Perhaps we might agree with
the Alaskan but in any case, there’s too many fine folk
down there to be smirched by such a faux pas.
Fari quae sentiat!
When a shoplifter in Southeastern Alaska told the
judge that he stole a pair of shoes for his mother-in
law, the judge replied, “Greater love hath no man.
You may go.”
The Alaska meteorologist says the weather causes
a loss of half a billion dollars a year. But think of the
raw material for conversation it yields.

| LONDON. Feb. 16. </P)—After 24
j hours of a lashing gale which whip
ped the waves into dangerous seas,
the English Channel and the Irish
Sea were quieter.
| Ships and smaller craft were
j preparing to resume their journeys,
i which* were curtailed by the gale,
the fiercest this winter season.
Despite the violence of the ter
rific storm, which menaced ship
ping in nearby waters, little dam- *
age was done, except to the gears
of smaller vessels. Tugs rescued the
British steamer Swiftway.
The annual Father and Son
banquet of Anchorage will be
given in the Presbyterian
church on Friday evening. Febru
ary 20, according to the Anchorage
Times.
