By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Seward can by no stretch of
the imagination be called a town
without a voice. We can certain
ly talk enough among ourselves,
on the streets, in the bars, in
clubs and lodges, in our homes,
and wherever two people get to
gether, one can always hear talk
about what is wrong with Sew
ard. THEY should do this, why
didn’t THEY do the other thing?
Who in the world are THEY?
Now is the time to do our
talking OUTSIDE of Seward,
and the only way to do it is by
mail.
Although we were told when
Mr. Tony Schwamm was in
Seward that it would not be
necessary to write concerning
the airport, because it was a
definite commitment, Mayor
Gene Lanier discovered when he
was in Anchorage last week that
other communities of the seven
who had also been promised
airports had written reams of
letters, and everyone knows that
Seward just got under the line
on that deal.
Now, if we are to get our
sewer project this year, we must
write, and write, and write! We
know that cesspools are expen
sive to build. We know that
many yards have no more space
in which to put a cesspool when
the present one is filled. We
know that the drinking water
flowing through wooden pipes
in the neighborhood of three or
four hundred cesspools cannot
but be dangerous to health. You
can think of plenty other rea
sons why we should nave a saie
sewer disposal system. The cost
is relatively little, amounting
to about $105 per lot, to be paid
over a period of ten years.
We have been informed that
the Seward project is filed for
the 1951 appropriations (which
have not yet been granted by
Congress.) We also have the
certain feeling that if enough
[ pressure is brought by the resi
dents of Seward, that this pro
ject will be reconsidered and
given a 1950 priority.
The office of GSA has had no
indication that it is the PEOPLE
of Seward who want this sewer
system. It cannot have it unless
the people indicate their ap
proval by writing.
So, let’s get busy. Folks, write
requesting construction this
year. Urge your friends and
neighbors to get on the ball and
prove to the Territorial admin
istration that Seward must not
be put off until the last on
everything that comes up.
Believe me, your personal let
ters on every question DO count
for a great deal. They are at
tached to the papers concerned
and carry the greatest weight,
if for no other reason, because
every letter represents a vote.
The address for this letter is
containd in an article on page 1
of this issue of the Record.
After the Eastern Star meet
ing Monday evening the Star
members put on a program to
honor the Masons who were not
members of the Eastern Star.
