people. The United States Government
IS a Government of the people, by the
people and for the people-Yes. And the
Medical Department and the experts
are the best people TO decide where
the hospital should be located, and the
way it should be built.
Gentlemen if | went into review of the
many things that have been done in this
Island since the United States Govern
ment took over you probably would be
surprised. Look at the improvements
made to Frederiksted HOSPITAL. That's
where the hurricane money went. One
OF the representatives Of sc people and
also a member of this Council once said
the hospital here was a place for peo-
pie to die IN. We want to make it a
place for people to live in. DR.. Butler
is the one who has the technical know
ledge, and he is the best one to decide.
The Government is giving you thirty
thousand dollars and not asking you to
appropriate n cent; they are asking
o to Ike it as a free gift; we are poor
and we need the money. Now Gentle
men, listen TO justice. We are trying to
do our best for you. | ask yon as a Re
preventative of the Government; and |
ask you personally as one most interested
in this Municipality, think twice and you
will see that we are acting for the best
interest of the people. For thirty thou
sand dollars we can have a hospital and
yet have the Reserve Fund. Think and
dol't block the hospital. | ask that you
give all the circumstances unbiased con
sideratiOn and then pass the original
Money Bill today.
End Member for Frederiksted Country
District IN. VI. Ske0ch) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. That's the reason why |
asked the question; this is a very delicate
matter for the Council to decide. A
public meeting was called last week
and the citizens objected to the build
ing of the hospital on the present site;
that's why / asked if We must
have the hospital built on the present
site or have none al all.
4th Appointed Member (B~IackWood)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. don't think
any one is trying to obStruct improve
ments in this Municipality. | have only
heard favorable comments on the i'm
provements already made in our hospi-
tails; and | believe that the inhabitants
of this town are sincere in their opposi-
sition to build on the steeple site, and
have given gooQ sound reasons for their
opposition; we are not cramped for ROOM;
we have plenty of space for choosing a
proper site. We have been reminded
several times that it is the Governments
desire to improve conditions and work

The Chairman would like to remind
members that the matter before the
Council is Colonial Council Bill No. Is,
and that it is under LIST Discussion.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(CanegGta) then proposed that the Coun-
chi either adopt or reject the Committee
Report before it goes into recess.

ton propOunded by End Member for Ere,
deriksted Country District, that's for the
Governor to say; it may be at a later date
we may have more money to build a hos
pital at Richmond. Dr.. Butler says +,
build at Ricamo4d will cost about o..
hundred and fifty thousand dollars; an
he says to build on the present location
is not a waste of money. The annex
is a rented building and that we have
TO do away with as it is not in habita-
bic condition; and it is not probable
that the owner of the building would
be willing to make the extensive re-
pairs necessary.
| have SPOKEN about the Government

to show you that the Government is
serving the best interest of the people.
| cannot tell you what will happen if
the bill is not approved; | can say that
the Government doesn't want the thirty
thousand dollars to revert to the Treas
ury; it probably will be applied to some
other use rather than have it go back
to the United States Treasury, but the
probability is, that we will lose the
money and the Improvements are very
much needed. Gentlemen | have fully
given the reasons of the Governor, IS

tives; | therefore trust you will see the

[']|;, PUTS ONE OVER
 ON SEWARD MEN
Pittsburgh Dispatch.)

Seward, Alaska, Feb. 26, 1919.
 The regular meeting of the Seward Chamber of Commerce was held on Thursday evening with a large at tendance majority of the seventeen members being present.
 The president being unavoidably absent as result of his recent con- viction for bootlegging, the vice-presi- dent occupied the chair.
 The committee appointed to secure the location of dentist in Seward re- ported that it had been successful and that a Doctor Blythe would arrive within the next few days and that the committee would arrange a dog race or other appropriate entertainment in honor of the event.
 Dr. J. M. Sloan, chairman of the committee on the cemetery matter of- fered a report favoring the first bench on Marathon mountain. This was opposed by T. w. Hawkins who ad- mitted that the proposed site would be free from annual inundations and washouts, thus removing the objec- tion of prospective occupants who might be unreasonably prejudiced against the indiscriminate scattering of their remains over lower Resur- rection valley, but, as for himself he wished to be planted on a site where some ornamentation or suitable dec oration would be possible, and such marble or granite testimonial as might be erected to perpetuate the memory of his virtues would be free from the constant menace and inevl' table ultimate destruction of all things erected in that favorite path, way of spring thaws.
 Dr. Sloan replied that his commit tee had considered such conting ency, but as it was a choice between a good, substantial, lasting plant and ono where the sacred bones of Sew ards departed citizenry might be pro famed by the mad caprices of Lowell creek or Resurrection river, sucf dreams of transitory and ephermera vanity had been dismissed as lacking merit worthy of serious discussion
The Cordova daily times., 1919-04-24

Besides he continued flatlying stones would obviate this difficulty for those yearning for post-mortem or posthu- nous celebrity and, moreover give sort of distinctiveness to the proposed burying ground in keeping with Sew ards conceded progressiveness and 
 On motion of Doc Brownell the matter was referred to the agricul- tural committee for further consid- eration.
 Henry Thoday produced New York newspaper and read from it the opinions of several eminent authori- ties to the effect that foreign embas- sies were exempt from the operation of bone dry laws, and moved that the chamber take steps to secure the To- cation of an embassy in Seward or vicinity.
 Leo Margules strongly supported the proposition and in proof of his ambition to further all laudable pro- jects for the public welfare offered to lease for the purpose at nominal rental the vacant barroom once justly popular as the Northern saloon.
 After considerable enthusiastic dis cussion the chair referred the matter for consideration to the committee on civic improvements.
 Proofs of the new literature to be issued by the chamber, giving the world accurate and dependable infor- nation on the resources and oppor- tunities of Alaska, were read and dis cussed in detail. Many members fav- ored the elimination of various ref ences to Valdez, Anchorage, and Cordova as dub towns, dead ones, malicious and envious villages and other even more expressive terms, as they felt that this would confer upon those cities an undeserved distinction, while several members were equally sure that some strikingly compliment tary reference to Seward, while en- tirely just and true, prospectively at least, might be seized upon as sub jects of malicious merriment by rivals incapable of approaching true merit
 Final orders for printing were de ferred until like literature issued by other important cites in the states could be obtained and examined. The meeting then ajourned without disorder or other unpleasant incident

TOWN TURNS OUT
 FOR OLD SOURDOUGHBOY

When Lawrence Campbell, the Quartz Creek (Yukon) sourdough, came back from the front recently he was welcomed by the whole camp. Everyone on the creek was there and forty people sat down to a big ban quet. A dance in which the oldfash- toned quadrilles and Virginia Reels were danced kept up until 3 o'clock in the morning. Campbell himself is the camp fiddler and when he drew the bow across the fiddle for the first time for number of years in that campcamp the sourdoughs let out a war whoop that almost raised the rafters off the dance hall.
