The function of a seaport is to receive goods from the
interior or goods consigned to the interior of a country. In
order to accomplish this in a safe, efficient and economical
manner it is necessary to have large warehouses available.
Aside from a necessary deep and protected harbor, it is
good warehousing facilities that make a town a great seaport
rather than just another coast town.
New York, London, Marseilles, New Orleans, Seattle and
other great seaport towns have become great because they
took advantage ol their geographical situations and gave
good service.
The portion of the Salisbury Report dealing with the need
of public warehouses for Alaska, which was printed in Tues
day evening’s Record tells the advantages and difficulties of
such a business venture as well as the great need for such fa
cilities in Alaska.
Most of the commercial shipping to the Interior goes
through Seward. The advantages to Alaska buyers and Out
side shippers would be tremendous. The advantage to Seward
would be vear 'round business and year ’round payrolls.
The financial investment might be prohibitive, but it might
be possible to interest firms that sell great quantities within
the Territory.
Doctor: “Your husband must
have rest and quiet. Here's a
sleeping powder.’’
Wife: “When do I give it to
him?”
Doctor: “Don't give it to him.
Take it j?ourself."
For safety in the home, repair
frayed electric cords and replace
worn light sockets immediately.
