Bad weather and lack of com
munications prevented y o u r
Cradle Rocker getting through
with her column from Anchor
age until this week. Aside from
that, a bout with the flu con
fined her to her room for sev
eral days. Everything is under
control now. though.
I've heard many rumors con
cerning Seward since coming to
Anchorage for jury duty, and
being disturbed by them, 1 took
it upon myself as a citizen, a
newspaper woman and a coun
cilwoman to track them down.
Like most rumors, they are un
true and I want to pass the word
on to you all.
The first story that came to
my ears, was that the railroad ~
was condemning property right
and left in Seward. That is not
r
true! The railroad is negotiating
with the city for some property
along Seventh Avenue for the
purpose of laying more tracks.
There is no question of con
demnation, because the expan
sion has to be made either in
Seward or in Whittier.
We definitely do not want any
railroad expansion on the Pen
insula to go anywhere but in
Seward — consequently, every
thing will be done to bring it to
our port city.
I took it upon myself (for
which I may be criticized) to
ask for. and got, a conference
with Mr .Manley, Ass't. Gen.
Manager, AilR, and Mr. Hackett,
chief counsel, head of the legal
department, in an attempt to get
the right of the business. 1 found
them both very courteous, co
operative, and eager to avoid
any conflict or disputes with the
people of Seward.
In reply to a question concern
ing the reason for building the
new approach to the dock so
narrow, I was told that the dock

A power plant is to be con

of the Fourth Avenue approach,
which will supply central heat

the dock, including the new one
which will connect the two
buildings in use at the present
time. All stoves on the dock will
be done away with. “It is only
by the grace of God and careful
watchmen that we haven’t had
a fire down there before' now,”
Mr. Manley said. _The Fourth
Avenue approach to the dock
will be closed, leaving only the
