TIME TO GET BUSY IS NOW.
The resolutions adopted l»y tin
chamber of commerce last night
asning congress lo make an ap
propriation ol" $75,000 to protect
the I own from I. lit; waters of I lit
glacier stream lias I In* entire
support of the community.
As set forth in tin* memorial
the citizens of the town have been
taxed lo provide temporary safety
for their properly. Some of them
have also suffered loss of prop
erty hy having buidlings washed
away or undermined. They should
therefore avail themselves of ev
ery possible opportunity of urg
ing upon congress the necessity
of making the appropriation.
Conditions now appear to he
favorable for the appropriation
being granted. The iron is hoi
and now is the time to strike.
There are few citizens of Valdez
who do not number among their
friends in the states some person
prominent in all'airs of the coun
try. They should urge these
friends to exert themselves iuoui
behalf. Congress should make lli«2
appropriation immediately avail
able in order that I he work ot
roust ruct ing the dyke could pro
reed at mire. No doubt it will do
so if we present a sufficiently
strong rase. The fact that the
value of federal property in Val
dez exceeds the sum required lu
permanently protect the property
of the whole community, valued
at more than one million dollars,
should appeal lo the members of
congress as ample reason for fa
voring tin? appropriation.
The city council will assuredly
adopt similar resolutions to those
of fhe chamber of commerce.
These petitions, coming before
congressmen at the present lime,
when Alaskan affairs are receiv
ing so much attention, will be
given greater .consideration if
their support has been urged in
its favor by a friend.
