A letter from Terr. Engineer
Metcalf was also read. This let
ter is dated May 17th and is ad-;
dressed to Mayor Lanier:
*
In reply to your inquiry of the i
13th with regards to the develop-I
ment of your landing field and j
boat harbor, be advised that I
have requested Mr. Victor Rivers,
registered Engineer of Anchorage
to supply the necessary engin
eering data for both of these pro
jects and upon completion of his
report and recommendation, im
mediate action will be taken to
ward their completion.
I would prefer to enter into
contract direct with the City of j
Seward to do this work, as soon |
as I get an estimated cost. The1
City could then do it through
their own crew, let it out on
force account, or give it to the
lowest bidder by contract.
My contract with the City
would be on a progress report
basis, which would not require
a completed job before funds
were available. In other words,
whenever any portion of the
work is completed, or at any time
doming the course of the con
struction. funds are needed to pay
for labor or materials, a progress
report can be turned in showing
a certain per cent complete, a
check will be mailed for that
amount and deducted from the
total contract price.

Information was sought as to
why ships were not hein : sent
to Seward for unloading inste d
of Anchorage and Whittier. It is
stated on good authority that
there will he many ships in pwt
here in .Tu'\ and men capable of
longshoming will not be availah! »
at that time unless there is some
thing to keep them busy between
now and then.
Many persons are home forced
to leave because of lack of work.
The situation could be easily re
medied by sending in a few more
ships and when the cost of lying
at anchor is $1585 per day
which is only $115 less than
running expense a matter of get
ting unloaded quickly becomes a
matter of paramount interest.
• • •
It was told at the Chamber
meeting that Morrison-Knutesen
had leased ground formerly un
der control of B. J. L. for stock
piling and that many ships would
be in harbor in July.
• • •
Roller Skating in the U. S. O.
was brough before the meeting
and a very favorable attitude
was shown. Two members will
take their turn in acting as hosts
to the youngsters as will mem
bers of other civic groups.
It was suggested that the city
reassume the control of the USO
which the former council voted
to lease to the fire department
which lease has never been made.
The* cost to the city in 1945-7
was estimated to be $2400 for
the year with very slight income.
It is proposed to m?ke it a pay
ing proposition.
• * #
Mrs. Ling brought up the s i t -
nation in regard to the health
center and after checking the
town for a location it was de- j
eirled that a 20 feet by 40 feet !
room in the basement of the Po
laris building would he satisfact
ory.
Arrangements subject to ap
proval are being made at this
tinto.
The meeting adjourned about
10:30 with an excellent and in-i
forested group in attendance.

A NEW CREATURE
“Wherefore if any man is in
Christ, he is a new Creature: the
old things are passed away; be
hold, they are become new." (2
Cor. fi: 17> Man on entering into
Christ, leaves the fleshly propen
sities and carnal nature and be
come a NEW CREATURE. Out of
Christ there is no life for the
Spirit, but only DEATH and
ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. Hence
Paul again speaking of those who
live according to the course of
this world said, "And you did he
make alive, when you were dead
through your trespasses and sins,
whrein you once walked accord
ing to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the po
wers of the airs of the spirit that
now worketh in the sons of dis
obedience:” (Eph. 2:1 -2 > A dark
and foreboding picture is painted,
of them that give themselves up
to the worldly lusts and of them
that exist out of Christ in Eph.
4:17 24. Having therefore, become
obedient to the truth one is trans
lated out of the kingdom of dark
ness INTO the kingdom of Christ
(which is the New Birth) and
lives in Christ as a blessed Child
of God and is privileged to enjoy
every spiritual blessing which is
in Christ Jesus. (Eph. 1:3>
Have you been baptised into
Christ? Baptism, which is pre
ceded by Faith and Repentance,
is the only act which puts you
INTO Christ! (Gal. 3:27; Rom.
6:4) It is referred to as the New'
Birth in John 3:5. Visit the
Church of Christ, you are always
welcome.
