JUST BEFORE AN ELECTION
it is the custom to look back over
the year, tlie same as we do on
New Year’s Jive. So let us see
what the outgoing city adminis
tration has accomplished during
t lie past 18 months.
FIRST TO BE CONSIDERED is
the fact that they are leaving a
surplus of $20,000 in the bank in
stead of a deficit. This is in addi
tion to the $17,000 which is set
aside as first payment on the
school bonds.
THE CHILDREN are moving in
to the $125,000 addition to the
school building this week. The
Small Boat Harbor is now owned
and controlled by the city. The
federal government will soon start
operations to dredge this harbor
and fill the city dump.
SEWERS AND PAVING amount
ing to $300,000 is being made
available to Seward through the
Public Works program. $7,500 is
forthcoming from the Territory to
obtain the $30,000 offered the town
from Washington for improvement
of the airport.

extra cost to the city. Sreets and
alleys have been opened. The gar
bage department is more than pay
ing for itself. Administration ex
penses will be cut by moving into
the new fire hall constructed this
year, and
A NEW bookkeeping system has
been set up for keeping the city
accounts in a strictly businesslike
manner.
IT IS EASY to say that some of
these projects did not derive from
city funds, and would have hap
pened anyway. But windfalls sel
dom just happen. Someone has to
direct the stream this way. Some
one has to ask for the money. The
past administration had to be on
the ball to see that Seward re
ceived its share of appropriations.
Mistakes? Faults? Bad judg
ment? Of course. No one. least of
| all any group, is free from all
fault. But if the good they accom
plished is balanced with the fail
ings. the record of the outgoing
administration is one they can be
proud of.
REV. P. G GOULD TO

With the winter social season
being planned by all organizations
in town, it is hoped that, especially
the women’s groups, will make a
special effort to plan activities to
include the staff of the Sanatorium.
The girls and women here, by
the very nature of their work andj
the secluded location of the hos-l
pital, must find life after duty
hours pretty dull and recreation
limited. Let’s include them in our1
plans, not only to local activities,
but let’s go out there, too. Make
them feel at home and one of us.
I know from my own experience,
that they have been left out of
my plans simply because I did not
think of it, and because my ac
quaintance has been of a casual
nature, but it shall be different]
from now on. We are missingi
something when we neglect to cul
tivate the nurses and the staff of
the Sanatorium, because many of
them are fresh from th® Outside,
with the most recent viewpoints
and ideas. Don't let us get the
idea that we will be conferring
any favors upon these people, be
cause they may not care to join
in our activities as a group. WE
need THEM and their fresh ap
proach for our development and|
culture.
