By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Alaskans are pretty bitter at
the action of the House Appro
priations Committee this week
by cutting the applications for
community improvement assist
ance under the Alaska Public
Works Bill by two-thirds. This
was done in the face of all the
hullabaloo about the need for
development in the Territory
as a protection for the home
folks in the States.
Besides the actual cut, the
House Committee has written
in certain requirements in the
Bill, in direct opposition to the
original intent of the measure,
to the effect that unless the im
provement can show some con
nection with the military it will
not be considered.
One thing the House Commit
tee has succeeded in doing, is
to provide positions at good
salary for their many friends, by
setting up several offices in the
Territory to administer the $70
million program. Will these of
fices be closed or combined in
any way to save expenses now
that there will be almost nothing
for them to do? What do you
think?
We can find no fault with
the work or enthusiasm of P. F.
Seward, the Commissioner of
community facilities, nor with
the several department repre
sentatives who have consulted
with community officials. They
were doing their job well, carry
ing out instructions from the
Washington office, and with the
good of the people of Alaska at
heart.
The fact does remain, how
ever, that Congress has once
more renegged on its own propo
sition. They have failed us again.
Unless some further action is
taken by the Senate, we may as
well tighten our belts again, and
prepare to accept the short end
of every deal while a benevo
lent Congress pours tax money.
OUR TAX MONEY, too, into
the Stateside hometown im
provements, where their votes
come from.
Let’s not give up any chances
we might possibly have, any
crumbs that might come our
way, by giving up the fight for
Seward and the prospects of
Federal aid for Seward projects.
We must continue with the pre
liminary planning and submit
application for all the proposed
improvements, then begin at the
beginning to urge their accept
ance.
We want and need sewers,
water, schools, recreational fa
cilities, hospitals, paving, hydro
electric power, harbor, break
water, air transportation, air
port, and more. Let’s fight for
it! Start the ball rolling by del
uging members of Congress, the
House Appropriations Commit
tee, (Rep. Gore,) Del. Bartlett
(who is already on our side,
but who needs the backing of
our letters,) simply DELUGE
them with letters of protest.
It is up to you, people of
Seward, only numbers count.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Burns,
partners in the Seward Fish and
Cold Storage Company, returned
aboard the Baranof this morning
after an extended visit in the
States.
