THE RETIRING MAYOR
To the incoming City Council, greetings! With Mayor
P. C. McMullen, veteran councilman at the helm, no alarm
need be felt by the citizens of this city insofar as capable
management of city affairs is concerned. Surrounded by a
conscientious group of aldermen, the present administra
tion holds every promise of • being a most worthy one.
But in acknowledgement of the six years of faithful
sendee to the community by the retiring Mayor, L. V.
Ray, prominent attorney of this division and widely
known throughout the entire Territory of Alaska, is this
editorial dedicated.
Under his guidance the business of the city has been
safely steered through the channels and across the few
shoals which made their appearance. Never* losing faith
in his adopted hometown it is well known to everyone Mr.
Ray, during his tenure in office—and out of it—has been
one of our most untiring workers that Seward and this
district might progress. A brief recapitulaton, however,
permits one to glimpse just a few of the major events
during his administration: Back in 1923 will any resident
of the city ever forget the wonderful visit here of Pres
ident Warren G. Harding. As Mayor of Seward it was
the honor and pleasure to have become very well ac
quainted with the Executive. In the same year came the
Congressional visit when many of the Nation’s leaders
arrived in Seward for a short stay prior to continuing on
to the Interior. In 1925 the Jesse Lee Home was es
tablished here against strong opposition from other
localities. Last year saw the beginning of construction
on the new $50,000 schoolhouse; the Lowell Creek pro
ject start and its completion. The year previous brought
the hearty approval of Chief of Army Engineers Jadwin,'
for the proposed breakwater for Resurrection bay which
was later recommended to Congress and which, at the
present writing, is pending only on account the recent
Congress failed to enact any general river and harbor
legislation authorizing this or any other new projects.
After many months of consistent effort Mr. Ray was suc
cessful in obtaining from the Alaska Railroad, a tract
of land between First and Second streets giving Seward
its only ingress and egress to the bay—and this, over gov
ernment property.
The feeling of having performed the functions of of
fice as best he could, should give Mr. Ray some satisfac
tion but for him to know how deeplv appreciative the cit
izens feel for his unstinting work in their behalf, should
serve as a pleasant memory as the years roll onward.
