It seems to me about time for
us to decide, if suoh a thing is
possible, just what it is we want
for Seward.
We sit on the best situation in
the Territory, all Seward knows
that, and we are jealous of our
position, feeling neglected by the
powers that be and that the un
disputa'ble value of a year-round
harbor is being overlooked in favor
of less suitable locations. This
column has done its share of
screaming and will continue to do
so whenever the occasion seems
to arise, but it seems to me that
now is the time to take stock and
come to an agreement among our
selves—decide what we want for
Seward then work together toward
that end.
Do we want the town to grow
in population and area? Then let's
continue to improve streets and
utilities. ' s
Do we want new' business enter
prises? Then let us not assume
the attitude of a dog with a bone,
fighting off all new comers in
order to keep the business for our
i selves.
If it is a boom town we want
with all the financial and police
difficulties a too-rapid growth en
tails, then we can just sit tight
and sooner than later we w'ill be
in just that state. Or we can plan
now' for the future by a regularly
established planning board of sub
stantial, experienced and intelli
gent citizens who cannot be rushed
or bulldozed into any unwhole
some situation.
Located as it is this city is bound
to grow'. Nothing can prevent it.
So let’s sit tight for a while and
wait to be discovered. But in the
meantime let’s plan. Plan for the
future, which I venture to predict
is not too far distant. Plan to con
trol the growth; to control the
crime that comes with rapid
growth; to keep our utilities, tele
phone, power, sewers and water
adequate.
We must abandon any lingering
traces of the village attitude tt>
ward government and assume that
we are a city—a city faced with
the problem of rapid expansion.
Be prepared to accept our respon
sibilities as part of a state, as a
city and as individuals. It must and
can be done, but the first require
ment is complete accord, unity of
purpose and sensible planning.
Let’s think about it, Friends, talk
about it—then DO something
about it. Let’s be prepared to
grow'.
