The Seward City Council met last Thursday evening. December 9th, to take up the business of the City which had been put off from Monday evening meeting which had to be adjourned for lack of a quorum. Councilmen Anthony, West and Petrovich were absent on Monday and thus no business could be transacted.
 HOSPITAL
 A letter was read from the Jun eau Office of Alaska Public Works in which they stated that they thought perhaps funds would be made available in 1855 for the local Hospital project which has been requested by the City. If funds were appropriated, construc- tion would likely start in the 1856 construction season.
 The method of financing the $725,000 project of which half is to be paid by the city, was discus sed but no immediate solution sug. gested itself at the meeting.
 Two additional members to the Hospital Board were also approv. ed by the Council upon the Mayors recommendation. Mel Dec and John Rose were the two named to the Board.

 MT. Pelch formerly an employee of the City Street Department was present to protest his being ter. minated by the City Manager. Mir. Pelch told the Council that he felt that the troubles in the Street De partment had been misrepresented to the Mayor and Council. He said he had never had any ambi- tion to take over the Department from the present Superintendent, Mir. Ross, as had been alledged and reported in the paper.
 A letter from Councilman Petro- vich, who is out of town, was read in which he endorsed MT. Pelch for reinstatement.
 The Mayor and Council agreed to have a rehearing with Mir. Pelch when the City Manager got back to town. He is expected to return to Seward this weekend and be on hand for the December 20th session of the Council.

which port they would prefer. The { choice would be up to the con- pany operating the ships, Kalbaugh indicated.
 AS to the type of ships to be used, Kanbaugh said that the Nat ional Bulk Carriers Corp. proposed to convert a couple of tankers for the service and the Luckenback- Coastwise combine had plans for converting couple of CA type ships for the service. The Alaska Steamship Company planned to build new ships for the run accord ing to their announced intentions In their proposals thus far.
 Whichever of the companies handles the service, their ships would have a capacity of 90 to 100 railroad cars and several Van units for truck transportation. Unload ing would require five or six hours compared to the present 5 or days, and ship would be sailing for Alaska about every four or five days and would travel at speeds of IS to 20 knots compared with the present ships which travel at 10 to 12 knots.
 Following the sketch of the op- eration by MT. Kalbaugh, the meet ing was thrown open to questions. In response to questions by Mrs. Charles Lechner, MT. Kalbaugh said that the Sea Train operation would require only four to five men on the dock as compared to the present 200 He alsc told the group that the dock at Seward would be rebuilt regardless of the decision on the Sea Trains, but design, would have to await the that decisions of the type, size and final determination of which port would be used-Seward of Whit tier. Also at least two of the companies had indicated that they desired to build their own docks if they were given the go ahead I
 Questions of back haul, rates, the relative value of Whittier con- pared with Seward and other questions were posed by Jack Hull, om Ousdale. Dr. Deisher, Tommie Bic, Jack Jeffery, and others.
 To the question of a back haul, MT. Kalbaugh said that at present there was no back haul, however they were always looking for ways to develop the area so there would be. At the present time they are shipping some birch logs to California for processing by furniture manufacturer to determ- inc the value of the Alaska birch in the railbelt for such purposes.
 On rates Kalbaugh said he fore saw an immediate cut in rates once sea train service was inaug- erated, however if shipments to Seward were routed via Whittier he saw little likelihood Of a cut in rates for Seward shippers, although coupled with anticipated savings of $4 per ton in handling freight, he said he thought that the rate would not be any higher than at present. Most all freight would be charged on a weight basis, Kalbaugh indicated.
 Though no firm answer was giv- en, it was presumed that should the shipping go to Whittier, Seward would have ship calling here about once per month.
 The question was also asked if any cost estimates of the sea train service had been made to which

 Der of Commerce members were on hand last Friday evening to hear MT. Frank Kalbaugh explain what he knew of the announced intention of initiating Seatr a n service to Alaska. Meeting in the City Council Chambers, the group heard little to comfort the unrest which has shaken the city as a result of the threat to the areas mainstay to the economy, long, snoring.
 Introduced by Chamber Presi- dent Win Erwin, MT. Kalbaugh gave brief talk on the history of the Sea Train proposal and what it would involve in the way of personnel, equipment and freight rates.
 The Sea Train talk got started in 1949 when the National Bulk Carriers made proposal to tn e Army and others to put in that sort of service if they could be given guarantee of so much freight, Kalbaugh said. This offer was turned down, and until last summer had not been actively pursued until the same company once again proposed to initiate the same type of service without guar antee. At this same time, Kal- baugh told the group, the Alaska Steamship Company and a com. bine of Coastwise and Luckenback Steamship Go. indicated their in- terest in starting the same sort of service. All these proposals were apparently channeled through Kalbaugh's boss, the Secretary of the Interior, since the service is to connect with the Dept. of In. terior's Alaska Railroad in Alaska, either at Seward or Whittier.
 Since Sea Train service would drain off the cream of the crop in freight (that is, the military cargo) it was decided that who ever was given the green light to run the sea train would also have to agree to serve the small towns of the territory which would not have sea train connections or sufficient volume of freight to make 1t eco nomically feasible to have a second carrier serve these communities.
 On December 7th, Kalbaugh said, the Secretary of the Interior contacted all of the carriers who have indicated an interest in the sea train proposal to have them provide an outline of their service proposals for the smaller com munities of the Territory. These proposals were to be in the Sec retary's hands by this week on Wednesday, December 18th, when an announcement will be made is not known.
 The Sea Train proposal came about, kalbaugh told the Chamber group, as result of the high freight rates to Alaska which had been a constant concern of the military shippers as well as the civilian shippers of goods to Alas ka. The freight rate to Alaska, Kalbaugh said, was one of the highest in the world.
 As to the location of the docks and the port whether the seatrain installation might be established, Kalbaugh said no final decision had been made, however two of the companys interested in the Sea Train operation had indicated in past discussions that they pre- ferred Whittier to Seward. One of the companys has not indicated
