Seward is in the front of the
Easter Parade this year. All
dressed up with a brand new
fire hall to house two trucks and
equipment, and the beautiful
new city offices with a council
chamber that will set every
homemaker to dreaming of birch
wood finishing in her living
room. If you have not seen the
new room, it is well worth your
while to climb the stairs and in
spect the building.
The story of the building it
self, and all the dreams and
work behind it, how it was final
ly accomplished by the Volun
teer Firemen, is a saga in itself
and merits more space than this
column. It will be presented in
, full at a later date.
In reflecting upon the new
i building, I was led to recall
‘ other evidences of improvement
j in city affairs. It is really a sur
! prising record, and one to be
! proud of.
For instance: have you noticed
the new street signs? They arc
still not all in place, but in a
few days, Fourth Avenue will
be dressed from Railroad to C
Street. Hospital, school and stop
signs also look very businesslike
and progressive.
The new school addition is a
thing of beauty, the very latest
design in architecture and equip
ment, with pastel shades in
every room and non-glare black
boards (which are not black at
all, but green).
Seward now owns the most
modern police car in the Terri
tory, a big new street grader,
and a scoopmobile with which
to continue the opening of
streets and the improvement of
existing ways. This summer
should see vast improvements in
the city streets.
In a few weeks now, the big
diesel generator will arrive and
be set in place to give more
power to the City Electric Sys
tem.
No one will gainsay a self
evident fact that there is still
a great deal to be done. Nothing
is perfect, nor will it ever be,
but at least it is a beginning,
and just goes to show what can
be done when a determined
group of people work together.
And the very best part of the
whole thing is that what was ac
complished during the past year,
was done without any assistance
from the Federal Government.
The $60,000 fire hall and city
quarters are all paid for, the
city has financed the.school and
other projects without Federal
assistance, there is money in the
bank to meet all payments on
bonded indebtedness, everything
is current, and the City of Sew
ard is not broke, but has a good
credit rating. You, the people of
Seward, have done it all, and
are in a position to have even
