ed to draw up the necessary resolu
tion directed to the Territorial Treas
urer, asking for the $10,000 voted by
the Legislature. The matter of rais
ing the additional $15,000, Seward’s
share, will be considered later.
Colonel Steese explained that this
could be arranged merely by some re
sponsible party, individually or act
ing lor the Council,, to arrange with
the bank to have the $15,000 subject
to draft by the U. S. Treasury.
Colnel Steese explained that this
[should be done in time far him to in
clude all matters in his next fiscal
I estimates. Immediately following the
completion of these necessary details
bids could be called for and everything
be ready for launching upon the work
in 1928.
Colonel Steese explained the plans
of the improvement, which call for the
building of a wooden flume to pass
under the Alaska Railroad tracks. It
was estimated that, if built of hem
lock, the lining of the flume would
have a life of about seven years, while
the other timber would hold for 30 to
35 years.
It was explained further than Gen
eral Manager Noel Smith of the rail
road had completed plans for elevat
ing the railroad tracks above the pres
ent grade to allow of the water from
Lowell creek to pass beneath.
Colonel Steese said Mr. Smith has
promised to loan a locomotive, steam
shovel and other equipment necessary
to proper prosecution of the work.
The $10,000 voted by the Legislature
will come out of the Third division’s
apportionment of road funds. As
soon as Colonel Steese received Mayor
Ray’s communication asking his aid
in securing the appropriation, Colonel
Steese went into consultation with
Bartley Howard, president of the Ter
ritorial Senate, and Speaker Sumner
Smith of the House and explained how
Territorial aid could be given. He
explained that in all likelihood the
Legislature, at its next session, would
make an additional appropriation to
cover the amount Seward will pledge,
thus relieving the city of the burden
of contributing the full $15,000 as it
now stands.
With respect to a breakwater for
Seward harbor. Colonel Steese ex
plained that the plans were all com
plete! and before the Engineering
Board in Washington, and in the ab
sence of any notification of disapprov
al by the board, which should have
been forthcoming within 00 days after
consideration, appears to he hate been
accepted. If this is the case, Congress
is expected to appropriate the neces
sary funds, estimated at $170,000, and
they will be available at the same time
the Lowell creek fund of $125,000.
The breakwater calls for dolphins
to be set, a track to he run out and
a sufficient area created to accommo
date all boats, with a minimum depth
of 12 1-2 feet at low tide. This im
provement does not obligate anyone
but the U. S. government, and, like
the Lowell creek project, will not call
for any responsibility on the part of
the community for maintenance.
Colonel Steese spent some time in
social session writh the Council and
I
explained many matters having to do
with Federal activities and the part he
is called upon to assume when in
Washington seeking appropriations for
his own organization, the Alaska Road
Commission, and such matters as Low
ell creek and the breakwater.
On behalf of the Council, Mayor Ray
extended thanks to Colonel Steese for
his aid in bringing to a successful
conclusion a matter which has hung
fire for many years
