A STATEMENT OF FACTS
I
Since the beginning of the present
campaign, many insinuations and
some direct accusations have been
made against Captain Uthrop. He
has been chnrged with graft In var
ious forms; with using his position as
councilman and chairman of the street
committee to further his own person
al Interests.
Haring the three years that Mr.
Hathrop was a member of the coun
cil, I had charge of th^, books and
records of the Alaska Transfer Com
pany and made out all bills. I am,
therefore, personally familiar with the
Alaska Transfer Company’s account
with the Town of Cordova. The
statement made in the Hally Alaskan
that Capt. Hathrop has received
thousands of dollars’- from the town
for work of his men and teams, and
that the street work during his term
of office was done at an exorbitant
expense to the town Is so far from the
actual truth as to be laughable.
It Is true that at times the men and
teams of the Alaska Transfer Com
pany were employed on street work,
but it is also true that many days'
work was done by both men and teams
for which no charge was made, and
of which no record was ever kept,.
It is further true that during his
three years service on the street com
mittee, all work on the streets and
walks was done under Mr. Lathrop’s
personal supervision and direction,
resulting, at times, in neglect of his
own business, but no charge has ever
been made for this, nor has he ever
received one cent for the time he de
voted to the interest of the town.
In 1911, 1912, and 1913, the work on
the streets was given to old-time resi
dents of the town, preference being
shown as far as possible to men with
families. The records for 1914 show
that 14 out of the 18 men employed on
street work were newcomers without
families, and had never been in the
town before. What qualifications
were required and whose O. K. was
necessary to secure a street job in
1914?
During the fall of 1911, considerable
work was necessary on the streets,
and Mr. Lathrop made a proposition
to the council that if the work could
be done at a time when he had noth
ing else on hand, he would donate
the use of his teams, charging only
for the actual time of the drivers. The
charge of Oct. 5, 1911, covered
52 hours labor by men and teams, per
formed during September. This was
charged at 50 cents instead of $1.50
per hour, the regular rate, or a sav
ing to the town in this one month of
$52.00 In the June and July, 1913,
bills, several items appear for "dis
tributing lumber.” This was mater
ial from the old walk which was used
when building the new one.
Exclusive of coal, which is not
charged through our ledger, the fol
lowing is an exact copy of every bill
rendered by the Alaska ,Transfer Com
pany, or A. E. Lathrop, against the
town of Cordova, and of every cent
received from the town for material
furnished or work done, during the
three years that Mr. Lathrop served
as councilman. Included in the to
tal of $858.13 is $79.55, cash advanced
by the Transfer Company in behalf
of the town, for telegram, and labor,
leaving a net amount received during
the three years of $778.63.
And this $778.63 Is the “thousands"
of which Capt. Lathrop mulcted the
city. Councilman Goodall received
$360 for 360 hours “overseeing,” and
the Dally Alaskan’s printing bill for
the past year will be almost as much
as the Alaska Transfer Co. received
for three years’ work with teams.

Much has also been said and writ
ten concerning the "Coal Trust." It
is a fact, however, that the residents
of Cordova are buying coal today at
the same prices that are charged in
Valdez, and the haul in Cordova is
more than three times that in Valdez.
Never before in the history of this
town has the coal been of such good
quality, and so cheap in price as dur
ing the past year, a fact which has
been appreciated by the majority of
our people. But in every community
there will be found those eager to mis
represent nnd distort the truth, and
the man living outside the town lim
its, in a house inaccessible by team,
is much abused because it costs moi ey
to pack coal a block or more.
Owing to (’apt. Ijithrop's unexpected
detention in Seattle, it Is impossible
for him to answer the charges and
criticisms that have been made against
him. As all these matters are with
in my personal knowledge, I publish
the foregoing statement in his ab
sence, and vouch for its accuracy in
every detail.
