Citizens Urged
to Stand By Their
) Agreements
Unless the citizens of Anchorage,
who previously signed the agreement
in regard to the post office boxes,
stand by their moral obligation, the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
will have some dead, not perishable,
stock on their hands.
The status of the post office boxes
is well known to the people of An
chorage and has become a joke to ev
ery V>ne except the Chamber of Com
merce which will necessarily have to
stand the loss if the people refuse to
live up to their agreement.
As always in cases of this kind
where the issue at stake is relieved it
! is an easy matter to forget the funda
] mental cause of the movement, espe
cially where an extra payment of
money is involved. Were the condi
tions changed today and the only post
office boxes available were to be ob
tained through the Anchorage Cham
ber of Cojnmerce, the 184 lock boxes
they have" would sell at a premium
and the people who were not fortun
ate in securing one would immediate
ly raise the howl of discrimination
and favoritism.
But with an over-supply the Cham
ber of Commerce is allowed to hold
the sack, and will probably have the
opportunity to give these boxes away
for Christmas presents or trade them
to the Indians for fish and furs.
Last year, in order to relieve the
congested condition of the inadequate
post office accommodations the busi
ness men and the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce decided to purchase 184
lock boxes ti^be installed in the local
office for the accommodation of the
individual patron. This was a splen
did idea and met with universal fa
vor and the people fell over them
selves in signing the agreement
whereby they could own a lock box
and carry their own key on a little
red string.
These boxes were not ordered until
the 184 had agreed to stand by and
deliver when the boxes arrived from
the McLane Manufacturing company,
from whom they were ordered. Act
ing on the decision and voice of the
people the boxes were ordered through
the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
and the order specified three differ
ent sizes at three different prices,
viz. $2.25, $3.00 and *$3.50. It was
perfectly understood by the 184 that
upon payment of the initial payment
of S1.00. that the balance was forth
coming upon the arrival of the boxes;
the different people had the privilege
of selecting any of the three size
boxes they wanted, owing to the
amount of mail they received and ev
erything was lovely and they were
satisfied.
The Chamber of Commerce has no
jurisdiction over the elements, nor
could it foresee that the Admiral Far
ragut, bearing the ill-fated boxes,
would not be able to discharge its car
go in Anchorage. The boxes were
shipped from Seattle on the Farragut
last fall and owing to climatic condi
tions the Farragut only got within
hailing distance of Anchorage and the
post office boxes, with other freight,
were left at Seward and brought to
Anchorage at the opening of naviga
tion this spring.
This was unfortunate but in no
manner of means relieved the moral
obligation of the people who agreed
to take the lock boxes; they under
stood that these boxes were to be the
property of the government nut were
to be used by the individuals for their
mail accommodations as long as desir
ed upon paying the balance of the
original purchase price.
The Chamber of Commerce had no
intention of entering into competition
with the post office department of
the United States, nor was there any
particular glory and no remuneration
attached to the movement to procure
the lock boxes to relieve the local
post office situation and for the ac
commodation of the patrons. At the
time thfe boxes were ordered there was
no intimation that the government
would establish boxes in Anchorage,
in fact it was understood that they
would not and the movement was ab
solutely from the standpoint of bet
tering conditions of the people of this
city.
A large per cent of the 181 who en
tered into this agreement have real z
ed their moral obligation an-1 paid the
balance due; there is no legal phase
connected with this agreement, which
was verbal, but the moral obligation
of a few still stands—unpaid.
