CHAMBER TAKES UP
MANY SUBJECTS
OF LOCAL IMPORT
ROAD MATTERS, CABLE SYSTEM j
AND SEWARD COURT TERM
ARE DISCUSSED
At the weekly luncheon of the Sew
ard chamber of commerce today sev
eral matters ol importance to Seward
were discussed. A letter was received
from Judge E. E- Ritchie, in reply to j
a cablegram asking that a term of
court be held in Seward. The letter
is in part as follows:
“At this time it is impossible to
state when a term can be held at
Seward or what cases will be tried
there. The grand jury will meet at
Valdez this week. As any lawyer will
advise you, the Alaska code provides
in effect that ordinarily only one
grand jury shall be convened to con
sider cases then pending (see Sec.
2119) the provision reading in part;
“the true intent and meaning of
this section being that but one
grand jury shall be summoned in
each division of the court to inquire
into all offenses committed or tria
ble within said district.”
“Of course your cablegram refers
only to the trial of cases but it is ob
vious that until the grand jury fin
ishes its business neither the United
States Attorney for the Court call
know what cases will be triable. Very
often cases arising in one part of the
division are taken on change of venue
to another. Whenever the criminal
docket is made up the court will de
termine in what place the various
cases shill be tried with due regard
to the expense and convenience of
parties and witnesses interested.”
The secretary was instructed to
write to Col. Steese in regard to the
removal of one of the marine ways
from Anchorage to Seward.
Discussion of the Kenai road caused
the appointment of a committee to
arrange data for further appropria
tions.
The cable situation was discussed
at some length by the Chamber, and
a committee was appointed to compile
data for the department.
The chamber is preparing for an ag
! gressive campaign the coming winter,
| there being many things proposed for
the benefit of the town.
