DISCUSSED YESTEHf
IT C1HIBER MEETING
For two hours Friday members
of the Seward Chamber of Com
merce discussed and acted upon
many important civic matters. Of
such interest was the regular week
ly noon session, in the Electric
Bakery, that not a man left his
v chair until President Leon Urbach’s |
mallet struck the table with a re-1
sounding wallop signifying ad
journment.
Following the reading of min
utes of the previous busy session,
the capable secretary, Leonard
Hopkins, dove into a mass of tele
grams and communications from
all ports of America—from Wash
ington, D. C., to California. The
telegrams were answers from Dele
gate James Wickersham relative
to local coal bunkers and the “miss
ing link” road. Delegate Wick
ersham is lending the local organ
ization every effort at the com- ^
mand of his office to attain these ,
projects. |
A letter from Ernest Walker i
Sawyer, assistant to Secretary Wil- ,
bur, Department of the Interior,!
impressed the Chamber that Al- j
aska now has three potent coastal j
organizations at its command—the j
Alaska Departments of the Seattle, j
San Francisco and Los Angeles
Chambers of Commerce.
Mr. Sawyer emphasized the fact
that each of these cities have ex-,
cellent Congressional representa
tives. an asset of which constant.
use should be made. He suggest-1
ed a series, of “Opportunity Letters” j
be written each week to these three
organizations because of commer
cial interest. He dwelled briefly
on the importance of development
©f Alaska mining which production
he felt could be increased ten times
the present output; the necessity
of continuous effort toward bring
ing about the construction of the
Pacific International Highway, the
encouragement of tourist travel,
and Jther items.
Regarding the 1932 visitation of
the San Francisco Chamber of
4 Commerce to Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks, it was suggested by
a local member that a letter be
written to the Golden Gate metro
polis body, urging them to charter
a steamer and come direct to Sew-,
ard. The suggestion met with ap
nroval.
The Marine Committee submitted!
a report on the recently completed
breakwater which was not, they
found, entirely satisfactory.
The Landing Field Committee re
ported progress on the hangar site.
> The Game Reserve Committee \
turned in its approval of a game j
reserve, one mile wide on both j
sides of the Seward-Lake Kenai j
Highway, recommending such re- j
serve be made. Also, petitioning j

Kenneth Seymore, who suggest
ed the inauguration of a night pa
trol, independent of the city force,
as an aid in protecting local prop
erty against burglary and fire, re
ceived the unanimous endorsement
of the Chamber. It is expected the
City Council will approve and con
tribute to this extra public welfare
safeguard. The Chamber voiced the
suggestion that undoubtedly num
erous residents aside from the bus
iness people, might be glad to con
j tribute to this patrol which will in
I elude the residential section of the
I city as well as the business district.
The Roads Committee reported
excellent progress as to preliminary
data with respect to the Seward
Kenai project.
Numerous letters were received
in the last mail by the secretary
from people in the States request
ing information about Seward and
vicinity.
Joe Eamon, pioneer local resident
and business man, has been some
