CIVIC IMPROVEMENTS
Reorganization of the Hyder
Commercial Association last Thurs
day night was a step in the right
direction. In the absence of a town
eouncil or any other civic body to
take the initiative in securing pub
lic improvements, the town could
do nothing but flounder along like
a ship trying to find its way through
unknown waters without a com
pass. Coneerted effort is needed
to secure even the most fundamen
tal necessities for a growing town,
and it i3 to he hoped that every
member of the community will re
alize th t it is to his own personal
advantage to do what he oan to
advance the general welfare, and
will take an active interest in the
Association meetings.
We must crawl before we can
'walk, of course, and there is noth
ing to be gained by being too am
bitious on the start. In other
words, we don’t want to bite off
more than we can chew. But there
are some things that we must have
and can get if we go after them.
The most pressing is fire protection
and a good start has been made on
that by the purchase of a large
chemical engine. A plan is on foot
for installing an electric light sys
tem to light the thickly populated
portion of the town, and this will
furnish another unit in the fire
projection scheme.
Then there is the matter of se
curing a wharf. That a community
as important as Hyde* should have
been so long without this vital ne
ces ity, is nothing less than a dis
grace. and if a concerted effort had
be n made, a v.harf would have
been built before this. Dan Suth
erland, Alaska’s delegate to Con
gress, is in sympathy with Hyder’s
needs, and may be depended upon
J to exert a very stroiig and very
favorable influence m the right
quarters. But the first move must
come from the people of llyder,
and the Commercial Association is
Ithe proper body to take the initia
tive.
Running a newspaper is just like
running a restausant—only differ
ent. When a man goes into a res
taurant an1 finds something on tin
bill of fare that he does not like ht
does not " hell with the propri
etor and i him to stop his dair
