LOWELL CREEK
The Senate in passing the Lowell Creek Bill, which
carries the authorization of expenditure of $125,000 and
referring it to the Senate, is the best piece of local news
Seward residents have received in years, for, in the opin
on of the majority, the project is now assured. The
:hanks of the entire community are extended to Col. Jas.
D. Steese, head of the Alaska Road Commission and of
Rivers and Harbors in Alaska, for his consistent efforts
:o secure this appropriation for the protection of Seward’s
property, and perhaps many lives.
Thanks are also extended to the Seward Chamber of
Commerce whose members have worked long and faith
hilly; to the members of the Town Council; to Delegate
Dan Sutherland, and to Mayor L. V. Ray, whose individ
lal efforts have been unceasing in bringing the proposed
project to the attention of the proper Washington offi
cials. During the visit in Seward of the Congressional
party, Mr. Ray personally escorted members of the party
Tom one end of Lowell Creek to the other, pointing out in
ietail the vital necessity of such a safeguard to the town.
The completion of the project means a wonderful im
provement to the townsite and will increase the value of
ill property in the creek’s vicinity as the flood menace will
pe entire eliminated.' There will be no opportunity for a
repetition of the 1917 disaster which created such local
lavoc. To the Alaska Railroad it means considerable
-vith respect to maintenance of the local terminal.
The expenditure of $125,000 will, in all likelihood be
put the preliminary sum. The initial investment is suf
ficient, however, to create a large local payroll for a num
per of months. Government engineers are convinced the
erection of a mile long wooden flume from the beach to
;he canyon will afford ample protection of the vagaries
Tom the creeks waters.
In placing the Bill on the Union Calendar No. 207,
practically assures its successful final passage, crowning
is a fitting tribute, the energy of a cooperative body of cit
zens seeking the same objective.
