FOR THE MIG OF
LOGOI AERIOL TBJFFIC
As was announced yesterday, the
Aviation Committee of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce, consisting
of C. M. Brosius, John Blase and
Charles Lechner and Elwyn Swet
mann, the sum of $2,200 has been
secured on the $3,000 thought nec
essary for the construction of a j
hangar at the Seward airport. The |
sum of $800 remains yet to be se- j
cured.
The Aviation Committee and El- j
wyn Swetmann have been making a j
special effort to raise the total'
amount set as their goal—$3,000— !
and as soon as this sum has been j
raised a special meeting is to be j
called at which time plans and spe
cifications of the hangar are to be;
perfected and bids called for.
Besides getting the original in-1
vestment and interest back, the
Seward resident or business man
who invests to aid the securing of
the hangar, will profit in that
he is aiding in the formation of an
air base at Seward. This will great- j
iy aid in making Seward a more
active town and help Seward
play a more important part in thej
transportation of people, mail and;
freight throughout the Territory of
Alaska. : 1
Commercial aviation with Seward i
as a base would mean much to the,
community and also holds good for j
companies which may venture to!
take over the stationing of an air-1
plane in Seward and making a bid
for the business. Business would
be brought to the community and
connections made with sections of
the Territory which otherwise
would not be tributary. Commer
cial aviation out of Seward would
also offer added service to sections
which are at present tributary, in
that quicker transportation of pas
sengers, freight, express, and mail
would stimulate business and often
be a big savings in a season’s work.
As an example, it is pointed out i
that Anchorage, through its air- <
ways transportation, is enjoying a
large trade from the Kuskokwim
and Dillingham sections. Operators
in both these sections, route emer
gency shipments by plane and this
often saves them a season’s work
over the old methods of transporta
tion.
From a humane standpoint,
plane service out of Seward would
offer quick hospital attention for
residents to the Westward and lo
calities which vvould be made trib
utary to Seward and would greatly
add to the good will of people In

remote sections who will readily
patronize a town which provides
this protection — an excellent hos
pital and a quick method of being
brought to that hospital. Seward
already has an excellent hospital.
Prospective business for the com
pany which chooses to operate out
of Seward will include the Kuskok
wim, Lower Yukon and the Nome
business, which is declared by those
interested in aviation to be just as
possible from Seward as from An
chorage or Fairbanks. This includes
the movement of mail as well as
freight, express and passengers.
Then there is the Dillingham, the
Bristol Bay, Iliamna, Seldovia and
Kodiak sections to offer additional
avenues of trade.
Prince William Sound points, La
touche and Nuka Bay and Moose
Pass will also probably offer fly
ing possibilities. A Seward to An
chorage route should pay, and es
pecially so in the summer.
Trips connected with terms of
the District Court which includes in
particular the bringing of witness
es and jurors from remote localities
and especially from the Westward
is another item that is included.
Territorial and Federal officials, in
traveling, for the greater part use
airplanes to travel into remote lo
calities and to save time and the
trips could well be started from
Seward as well as any other point.
Another field to be touched is
that of big game hunting, with
Seward as an outfitting point. Many
of the original inquiries received
by the Alaska Guides and the Ko
diak Guides, nearly all specified
Seward as the starting point. The
hunting trips included trips to the
Rainy Pass, Cook Inlet points, Chi
ckaloon and Tustamena districts.
This business was mostly all di
verted to Anchorage because there
jv’as no plane service from Seward.
The mining personnel in Interior
points travel back and forth from
their locations to the Outside at
present, routing their trips through
Seward to Anchorage where they
engage planes.
Trappers and prospectors can be
landed at points where they can
lot pack into and they can be land
ed at places where it may take days
to reach. It is possible that a new
mining field, tributary to Seward,
could be developed and would also
result in great savings in time and
money for supplies to the pros
pector. The same applies for the
trapper.
From Seward, the entire Aleutian
chain also offers its trade advan
tages and a field for airplane trade.
