REVENUE CUTTER
LIGHTHOUSE HDQ
ACTION TAKEN
SEWARD CHAMBER BODY TAKING
DIRECT ACTION IN MATTER,
AT YESTERDAY'S MEET
Auction was the keynote of yester
day’s weekly business meeting and
luncheon of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce. A full attendance of
members was present, extra chairs
being added but even so, a few mem
bers ate at the counter of the Grill.
Considerable business of importance
to the community and this district,
but not for publication at this time,
came up and w'as discussed at length.
In good time when results are ob
tained the facts will be duly an
nounced.
Captain O. A. Johansen, who carries
the reputation of being Seward’s and
this district’s most staunchest sup
porter, was present for the first
time since his recent return from
Seattle. He spoke on the Grand Jury
report, recently made public. In
particular, he called tho attention of
the members of the chamber to the
Grand Jury’s recommendation for the
stationing of a revenue cutter in
Fringe YVdiiam -ound. tue vessel’s
headquarters to be at ciihv Sew
ard, Cordova or Kodiak. Captain Jo
hansen stated it was his belief that
due to the fact that so many vessels
have been in distress to the West
ward of Seward,— and at this point
he related a score of them—Koiiak
was the natural location for the ves
sel's headquarters, and secondly Sew
ard.
Regarding the proposed lighthouse
headquarters for this division, he
gave practical reasons why Seward
is the logical and most central point.
He felt that the chamber should go
on record following up the action
recommended in the G-nand Jury re
*port, that this port he made head
quarters for such service. South
eastern Alaska has Ketchikan and
the Southwestern Alaska dish let
could range from Cape St. Elias to
the remote Westward points.
P. C. McMullen, vice president and
presiding officer, appointed Captain
Johansen, Harold Painter and J. P.
Hannon, secretary of the chamber,
to draft a letter to this effect, ad
dressing it to the Seoretaary of Com
merce, Washington, D. C.
The nomination of officers to serve
for the ensuing year is published in
another column of this issue.
