Brownell. Oscar Dahl, and The.
Erdmann

w* r‘ ing and Xovick was recov

Apologetically, thti .Mayor ex

brought against the city naming
Mv. llubhard who, with Swet
midin and other disgruntled tax
layers" as he called them, filed
suit t There were 63 others also.)
Mr Woodruff. ht. stated was
liot rpesent at the trial at An
chorage of Woodruff vs. the city
of Seward hut as usual the may
or told only the portions of
truth that suited the case. i.e.
that Me. Howard and Miss flood
■ icll were ; resent. He did not
Mate that by stipulation, or was
it “suspension of rules" it was
not neee sary for the plaintiff
p, i>. pivson*.
1! • did noi state, eitiier, that
th>- city, log the suit.
Hi gave a rough itemization
of the pay tent of $1600. which
was allegedly passed at. the last
| special meeting of the council.
I It reads. $600.00 attorney fees;
i 200.00 for completion of ordi
nance; 500.00 for travel, hotel
accomodations etc. and 23S.00
for another item which the writ
er did not learn.
With Uoht. Muller as the
chairman the meeting progres
sed with the mayor on the side
lines.
Muller was evidently satisfied
with all of the actions of the
council as was Leland Miller,
Harding an(| Miss Head.
Patrick Hogan was not will
ing to commit himself as he was
not satisfied with the present
administration, and not one of
the prospective- council members
who remained to speak would
give a blanket O.K. to the plans
of the outgoing council. (No
council of a fair mind will ‘‘sad
dle" the next with a litter ol
work such as the outgoing coun
cil has done this year.)
Leslie was of the opinion that
the city should live within a
budget.
Lanier's statement may he
read n ianother column
The mayor stated a shortage
of ammonia would cause the
shutting down of the Cold Stor
age. ( Investigation shows that
there is no shortage if money is
available for payment.)
We also remember positively
that the mayor told people to
leave their meat in the Cold
Storage. that he personally
would guarantee that the food
I
.was safe. (This was "pinned
] down" at a Council meeting by
ii. Abrahamson.) It was Ahra
hamson who last night notified
the mayor he was holding the
city libel for his moose moat

I which ho had In storage therei
and he was also noti.ying the
Kish and Game Commission.
Many persons who had looked
forward to an interesting even
ing with certain gentlemen were
badly disappointed because they
failed to appear and neither did
they furnish any Questionaire.
Some of the questions which'
were to be asked were the a
mount of property they owned;
if they had ever read Section
1 4S02 of the Compiled Laws of
Alaska; leading question* as to
wliy there was a $1 1,000.00 in
debtedness to which the new
'council fell heir; if part of this
I deficit was by reason of the pur
jdia.se of additional equipment
for the Electric Light Plant or
the $ 10,000 pear year payments
■j to tile R.K.C.; how much money
! had been collected by the city
lfrom the Veterans Housing I'm
Iject and how much Hie Govern
liirent had received or been paid.
One thing which voters and
taxpayers must remember is,
| that candidates who would give
a vote of approval to the dying
I council's actions of the past
year must know that to replace
i them with those persons will
| likely mean an increase to 2X
| 000.tut the deficit at present.
I With that thought in mind a
[sensible man will vote for a
sane council who will live witli
i in a budget and at the same
I time ask for a complete invest
iigation.
