A TOWN DIVIDED
(Anchorage Times)
Our neighboring town of Seward is
experiencing one of those unpleasant
affairs which do more to tear down
than construct. The differences arise
from the fact that a special election
has been called to vote upon the ques
tion of bonding the town for installa
tion and maintnance of “public serv
ice plants” for the distribution of
light, heat, power, telephone and wa
ter service.
Naturally the town is divided, but
then the citiziens of Seward have al
ways been more or less divided, and
factioanl differences never tend to
create constructive policies. The
question of bonding Seward, or any
other town, merely devolves itself into
the hard business proposition of pay
ing interest on a first mortgage. In
terest in this case is a certainty, there
will be no “three days of grace.”
Seward has an adequate light, pow
er and telephone system, entailing
the expenditure of many thousands of
dollars for the original investment and
maintenance.
The Times is more or less familiar
with conditions in Seward and we are
of the opinion that a bond issue of
this nature would be the height of
poor business and react to the detri
ment of the taxpayers.
Can Seward stand the additional
strain? We doubt it. The issue in
anv event would not be less than
$200,000 and interest on this amount
“added to what you’ve got makes just
a little bit more.” Continued publi
cation of delinquent taxes alone
proves Seward is not carrying an
overwhelming bank balance. The peo
ple of Seward should realize the sit
uation and thoroughly investigate the
question from a strictly business
standpoint before voting. Added to
the business angle of the issue, which
really is paramount, the voters should
ask themselves the serious question
of whether their own home town can
support two such utilities. And it’s a
serious question and worthy ol due
consideration.
Seward or any other town is as
large as the citizens make it. Person
alities should never enter into town
affairs, or as regards questions of a
civic nature wherein the community
derives benefits. Wouldn’t it be far
better for the citizens of Seward to
support a well organized local indus
try than try to block business in order
to satisfy personal animosity. The
cilizens of Seward should get togeth
er and eliminate personalities in the
earnest endeavor to create and con
struct and keep in line with the
march of progress.
The town that is divided against it
self cannot stand. Co-operation in
civic affairs is absolutely essential to
progress and the splendid citizens of
Seward may attain an eminent posi
tion in the list of Alaska towns thru
co-operation.
