SHOULD BE CLEARED;
MATTER CIVIC PRIDE
MAYOR RAY ADDRESSES CHAM
BER MEETING—SPEAKS OF
COMING PROSPERITY
At Tuesday’s meeting of the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce, Mayor L.
V. Ray dwelled for some time on !he
matter of civic pride, pointing out that
during the past year especially num
erous visitors complimented the city
officials and residents on the splen
did appearance of the streets and the
general atmosphere of cleanliness re
flected. However, the present con
dition is more or less deplorable, due
to the recent heavy snowfall which
yet, in front of many business houses
and residences on the main thorofare,
has not been removed. In addition
to the ugliness arising from this con
dition there is considerable danger
to pedenstrians, he added, and also
to property loss in case of fire, the
present condition making it very
hard to reach certain buildings in case
a fire alaini was turned in. Conclud
ing his remarks, Mayor Ray appealed
to the citizens of the community to
cooperate with the city which has no
street department, to the extent of
keeping their sidewalks clear.
He then spoke briefly on the prom
ising outlook for Seward and the
many improvements which undoubted
ly are coming. One of these, he
added, was the construction of the
proposed breakwater or shelter har
bor for small craft and what bus
iness would accrue to the city from
the installation by the government,
of this project. This would mean
that numerous fishing craft would
make Seward their headquarters. He
also spoke on other matters which at
this time are not ready for publica
tion but when carried out will mean
the rapid advancement of the entire
community and district.
