CONSIDERABLE argument
is being heard up and down the
street, and criticism of the pro
posed $200,000 Power Bond on
the ground that it comes so
soon on the heels of the last one.
And that one proved to be an
insufficient amount.
AS WE SEE IT, the criticism
may be justified, but it is all
water under the bridge now and
there is nothing we can do but
pass another one. We must have
power, and this is the quickest
way to get it.
" Undoubtedly, a hydro plant
would provide the cheapest
power, and, as is being said, i t
might be entirely possible and
feasible to erect a hydroplanl.
B U T. preliminary planning,
engineering, obtaining of a site
and erection of a plant, plus the
running of lines, would con
sume a great amount of time,
and the cost would be $500,000
at the very least, if it could be
done for that amount. We can
not wait. The City is operating
on a hazardous margin now and
the plant superintendant cannot
guarantee that Seward will not
suffer some shortage even this
winter. The plant is operating
at capacity.
SOMETHING IIAS to be done
quickly. Even with the passing
of the bond issue, erection of a
building, purchase and install
ation of an additional generator
and putting it into use will not
be possible under six months at
the very least. This means that
every user in Seward must be
on the alert at all times to con
serve as much electricity as he
can to get us through the winter
and Spring of 1951.
WE AGREE with the grumb
ler, but cannot see anything
else to do at this time but to
pass the bond issue Dec. 11th.
Card playing can be explosive,
but so can any game where you
hold hands.

Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Ronne
are parents of a daughter, born
in Seward General Hospital
Nov. 29. The little girl was
named Dawnelle, and weighed
7 pounds at birth.
The Ronne’s live at Mile 7
on the Highway.
A son was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest Newman in Seward
General Hospital, Nov. 30. He
was named Arthur Lorn. This
young man weighed 9 pounds,

at Ikatan, Alaska.
Politics being what they are,
it's no wonder our government
is what it is.
One thing this country needs
is an amplifier for a still, small
voice.
