CITY COUNCIL SESSION CLEARS STREET DEPARTMENT

A good meeting with much rou. tine business disposed of, was the mark of the regular meeting of the City Council held Monday ev. ening. "
 SEWER
 The first item of business was a continuation of the hearing of the complaint of the Foster Bro- thers that they were being over assessed for the sewer which pas ses their property. They own 3 lots which the sewer passes on the long side giving them total of 300 feet of frontage on the sewer. They maintained that they still could not make any greater use of the sewer than they could if the sewer had passed their lots on the 30 foot side, and thus should be assessed for only 90 feet of frontage on their three lots.
 After some discussion it was de. cided that the Fosters had a point and that their assessment should be lowered as well as that on a lot belonging to Gus Johnson which had also been assessed for sewer frontage on the basis of the 100 foot side of the lot. Johnson had not protested the assessment. Other sewer matter taken up was an agreement with the Bureau of Public Roads providing for an. nual payments by the Bureau to the City for the use of the City's new sewer line. The payments would cease when the full amount of the Bureaus share O fthe cost of the sewer had been paid. TELEPHONE
 The City Manager reported brief ly on the telephone survey. saying that the preliminary report indi cated that an average cut of 10 tc 15 per cent in telephone rates could be anticipated under City ownership.
 HOSPITAL BOARD
 1 A report was received from the Hospital Board asking that the Mayor and City Council approve the appointment of four addition al members to the Hospital Board A list of names was submitted by the Board for consideration of the Mayor and Council.
 A problem of taxes on certain pieces of Hospital property wa! alo brought before the Council ant was referred in part to MT. South ard, City Tax Collector. The pro blem was in part the question O taxes payable on certain property which the Board believed to be ta1 exempt for various reasons.
 QUICK WAY CRANE
 The oft heard rumor that the City got stuck when it purchased a Quickway Crane was repeated Monday evening when Franl Woods told the Council that tn, equipment was in tough shap' and would likely cost an additiona $4,OOO to put it into operating con dition.
 In order to clear up the matte one way or the other, MT. O'Har; suggested that a i've man boart of experts from the construction tindustry be named to inspect tn,

equipment and turn in a report as to their findings. (See special council story elsewhere in this issue).
 LAGOON ROAD
 The City Manager reported that the Lagoon area land which had been requested for the Alaska Rail- roads use was now out of danger. The request for withdrawal was originally made in June of 1852 and since the change of managers, plans for it's use have been revised. The request for the land has been formally withdrawn by ARR Man ager Frank Kalbaugh.
 HEALTH COUNCIL The need for an ordinance or resolution giving the Health Coun- cil some legal standing was heard by the City father and referred to the City Attorney so that he could draw the necessary document for giving the Health group legal sta tus.
 CITY OFFICES
 The City Manager presented a proposal to the Mayor and Council that the City offices be combined in the area now used by the Coun- cil Chambers, City Clerks and Treasurer's offices. and City Man. agers office to include the Utili- ties offices. By remodeling the area at an estimated costkof about $3500 the City could save ehe 222s- rent now paid for the office of tbaa Health Nurse and Welfare office by moving them into the building now used by the Utilities.
 The matter was discussed and it ! was decided to make sketches of the proposed remodeling and call for bids on the job from local con- tractors.
 SPECIAL SESSION
 The Council was told that the Grant Lake power group had ask l ed for joint meeting with the Council and Utilities Board to dis cuss the possibilities of the City purchasing power from the group rather than putting in it's own hydro-electric plant. The meeting was set for pm. Wednesday at which time the Council was also to hear the report on the findings of the board of experts selected to inspect the City's Quickway crane. PAVING
 The City Manager reported that there was considerable interest locally in going ahead with a pay ing project in certain districts even though there might be areas in which there is no desire to pay the cost.
 Paving districts could be set up as the City Manager suggested, and where the property owners were willing to bear 2/3 share of the cost the area could be paved.
 John McAnerney was present and warned that the City should go slow on any such proposal until they had a master plan of grades and controls. The thought being that unless they did, the early paw ing might have to be dug up in later years if all the paving was ] (Turn to Page 4)

By Tuesday of this week every thing had settled down to normal in town. Once again business as usual took over after a fast round of out of town conventions and meetings in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Palmer, and a special Cham Der of Commerce session on Sun. day evening here.
 7 ALASKA CHAMBER
 OF COMMERCE
 Chamber of Commerce President Win Erwin reported that all local members who attended the Alaska Chamber sessions in Anchorage last week had a good time. Among those attending from Seward were Win Erwin, Dr. J. B. Diesher, Sol Uric. Mayor Russell Painter, City Manager Ray O'Hara, Jack Jeffrey and Wayne Sword.
 It was reported that the Seward Chamber had been the first to respond to a questionaire about the establishment of blood bank in Seattle for Alaskans, and had also been the first to ask for the State- hood study kit offered to the public by the University of Alaska.
 President Erwin also reported that he had entered vigorous pro- test to the proposed Seatrain ser vice because of the adverse effect it would have on the shipping ser vice to the smaller towns of Al aska as well as the depressing effect it would have on the econ omy of Seward.
 It was also reported at the Tuesday meeting that the contro- versial port bill had not been put forth by the Anchorage delegation. TOURISTS
 One of the most interesting dis cussions at the recent A l a a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Anchorage was reported to have been the tourist potential of Alas ka. The feeling was expressed that more would have to be done to attract and hold the tourists in Alaska for longer period of time, and interest them in returning. Wayne Sword of the US. Forest Service Seward office was present and said the Service was pushing it's recreation facilities program. He told the group that in the in stance of the Portage Glacier road as many as 1000 cars had visited the area over one weekend.
 It was pointed out that many times the attitude of the local residents affects the volume of tourist business. There is need, it was pointed out, for more inform ation about the points of interest in the area.
 It was suggested that a road could be built up Resurrection Can yon to the glacier, so that cars could make the trip, and thus draw more visitors to the Seward area.
 The ever present money problem was discussed, and it was suggest. ed that the Seward area could take hint from Valdez, where they built their own road with private funds and donated time, thus mak- ing a glacier easily accessible by road.

 The Chamber was told that the

New Grass Resists Disease,
Tolerotes Drought, Poor Soil

Two new grasses developed
for deep South use by the Agri-
culture Department are Tif-
lawn Bermuda and Tiffine,
which don't do well in shade
but resist weeds, disease and
heat and grow fast in the sun.
A lawn is a product of grass,
soil and fertilizer. The new
grasses aren't foolproof, but they
are better than the old: They
also cost more than the old and
since they are likely to keep on
needing fertilizer after they are
established. they will continue
to cost more.
Details on how to grow these
grasses can be obtained free
from the Agriculture Depart
ment, Agriculture Research Serv-
ice, Room $40, South Building.
Beltsville. Md. If you mention
the particular kind Of grass you
are interested in.
With that information, and
the money, the only other thing
you need is hard work.
