iniinate the greater percentage of
these past difficulties. The town
I is to be divided into six zones,
j each zone to be collected approx
' iniatelv the same day and hour
I each week. Individuals once ac
quainted with the time collection
of their zone, can with little ef
fort place their refuse to be col
lected for that day, thus eliminat
j ing spillage and scattering as
much as possible.
The condition of the present
dump, which is very unsightly,
and also becoming a health haz
z.ard to individuals living near
the area, is the results of any
i one dumping when they please
! and where they please with no
supevision.
Records of the past show that
our tax money, varying from five
hundred dollars to three thousand
dollars per year, has been spent
to level and maintain a dumping
I area, which at no time, regardless
of expenditure, has been adequate
to keep the area sightly and to
eliminate a health hazard. This
must be done to safeguard the
lives of those living in this area.
To place in relatively good condi
tion. the cost will be many times
any previous expenditure.
| In the city budget for the past
; few years, with costs of opera -
| tion of the city increasing, no
I amount can be provided for any
1 portion of cost for maintaining
■ the dump.
We hope that by providing for
the city to collect, haul and dump
the garbage, one person only will

bo responsible for this service and
for the upkeep of the dump.
There are approximately 263 po
tential points of haul in tlie* res
idential areas. Thus a charge of
$2.00 flat fee (per month) for
weekly hauling service must be
charged to cover the cost of labor
land equipment, and care of the
1 dump. If each individual citizen
will bear this charge for a service
rendered, we can have excellent
service, keep the city cleaned up,
eliminate health hazards and
keep the dump reasonably under
control and it will not be nec
essary to take our limited tax
funds to expend for a service
which has proven costly and very
j inadequate.
! Any attempt that the council
will take to better our garbage
hauling service will be haphaz
zard and inadequate without the
full cooperation of the citizens
of Seward. Thus, we ask your full
cooperation to make our town the
cleanest in Alaska.

They’re always abusing the wom -
en
As a terrible abuse to men
They say we’re the root of all
evil
And repeat it again and again.
Of war and generals, and blood
shed
All mischidf be what it may
And pray, then, why do you mar
ry us
If we're the plagues you say?
And why do you take such care
of us
And keep us so safe at home
And never are easy a moment
If ever we chance to roam?
When you ought to be thanking
heaven
That your plague is out of the
way
You all keep fussing and fretting:
“Where is my plague today?’’

A colored workman was told
he couldn’t get his money for’
doing a hauling job until he sub
mitted a bill. After long study
he came up with the following
statement: “Three come and 3
