By Mildred Kirkpatrick
“No man is without honor,
save in his own country,’’ is a
perfect expression of the situa
tion in which any man finds him
self when he makes a really gen
erous gift to a community.
The proposal of Mr. Brownell
to sell his entire homestead to
the city for what amounts to al
most a token payment comes
within that category. Mr. Brown
ell has the respect of Washing
ton and other business men in
the Territory. He has given mnay
years of his life to Seward. He
has accomplished much good for j
the city, and has gained the I
criticism of many, whether right-'
fully or wrongfully, I am not
prepared to say, because I have
only recently made his personal
acquaintance.
However that may be, it can
not be gainsaid, that whatever
Mr. Brownell did during his ad
ministration as mayor, was done
with the absolute belief that he
was doing what was right and
best.
Now he is offering his land
to the city. He has refused many:
times to sell at five times his
present offer because he would i
not sell to an individual. He
wishes the mountainside to re-j
main a beauty spot, and not be i
denuded, left bare and unsight-'
ly, open to erosion, as would
happen if the trees were all cut
down.
fie has prepared a warranty
deed, which will give us the
privilege of making arrange
ments for immediate construc
tion of a nurses home and hos
pital. This also permits the sub
division for homesites, and the
building upon the hillside of
beautful houses, providing that
the trees are removed under sup
ervision, so as to leave the park
effect for beauty.
The homestead also controls
the source of the city water sup
ply. which rises on the moun
tainside, the hydroelectric line
in Lowell Canyon, and the right
of-way to the bay.
All this for the sum of S100
per month over a period of ten
years, with the right of immedi
ate use. NO INTEREST! and no

“strings” attached. What more
can the people of Seward ask?
A bargain is always more ap
preciated than an outright gift.
Mr. Brownell is asking little
more than the amount paid in
taxes for this property over the
period of years since ho and his
father acquired it in 1905, and
hold since then except for a brief
time.
The proposition will come to
a vote of the people. We would
bo foolish and ungrateful to
turn it down. Let the voters be
thinking about it, making up
their minds, and show the ap
preciation of the townspeople
for Mr. Brownell's services by
accepting his offer, and making
it a permanent monument by
naming the area Brownell Park.
