Mr. McArthur, representing the
Alaska Steamship Co. was intro
duced by V. P. Gust Johnson. He
asked the Chamber to get in
touch with Senators Magnusson
and King of Washington and Del
egate Bartlett stating that Sew
ard very much desired a mail ser
vice by boat to the Westward as
far as Atka. which would be the
same as the Aleutian Mail Con
tract. (Adak is 156 miles further
on but is a military post.>
McArthur stated his company
had two boats identical of 24 foot
beam and 115 foot length capable
of 12 knots, single-screw propeller
equipped with radar and would
meet all U.S.C.G requirements.
These vessels are capable of car
rying 25 persons and will sleep
16. They are new boats and are
under charter at present and in
command of a man who is well
acquainted with Alaskan waters.
The probability that others may
be interested, namely Jack Ander
son, or some one else as yet un
known was brought out.
Mr. McArthur made it clear he
was not asking an indorsement
but that he wanted the pressure
back in Washington in order to
get a chance to bid on the con
tract, with others who might be
interested.
* * *
The meeting adjourned and
all stayed to listen to a short
talk by George Lesko who is a
candidate for the City Council.
A few of his remarks follow:
Ladies and gentlemen. Mr.
Chairman, (no ladies being pres
ent, he asked permission to leave
them out) .1 have filed my candi
dacy for the town council and in
doing so 1 realize that it is the
duty of a citizen to act in this
capacity for the reason that we
must maintain a city government:
therefore, we should all give our
time and efforts to make a better
town and a better comunity for
our families to live in.
If the people place sufficient
confidence in me, to elect me as
a councilman. I will do my ut
most to justify that confidence, t
believe in good business methods
being employed in all of the
town's business without favor to
any one.
I do not have any cure-all plan:
all I can do is decide each prob
lem as it comes up on its merits
with favor to no one. If elected,
it is m.v sincere intention to work
for the best interests of the town
and the majority of the citizenry.
I have no private ambition and
no one to "get even with”. I have
an opt n mind on all subjects and
I am a firm believer in the fact
that paid employees of the tax
payers are working for the peop
le and I am also firm in my de
sire to see that the tax payers
receive full value for the salaries
paid to the city employees.
The Utility Board is elected by
the people to administer the pub
lic uility program and it is my
intention to allow this elected
board to carry their responsibili
ties for the management of the
utilities unless they request as
sistance from the council, then I
will render them any support and
assistance I can.
I want to see the development
of new business in Seward, new .
enterprises, new buildings, aid in
developing the tourist trade. |
keep Seward the gateway to the j
north, develop Seward further as ;
the gateway city to the Kenai
peninsula. These are only a few- j
things that I have in mind and
I am open to all and every prob
lem that, solved, will mean a '
better Seward. You here at this !
chamber have some suggestions. <
some ideas, would you care to J
ask questions or make sugges
tions? I would like to thank you
for this opportunity to express my
views.
Some discussion followed, after
which the meeting closed.

that they looked like the ramparts
of ancient wonderlands. Here and
there an extraordinarily brilliant
star shone alone in a vast sweep
of sky. By contrast, the thick
edge of the woods appeared dark

chantment of it all. I found my
self wishing 1 could hear some
lovely voice singing the “Indian
Love Call”. Alas! I often wish
that on such glorious nights, but
I never hear it.
