People ev(pcct n certain -mount of snlve lnd hokum in a political campaign, but—for example: THE SMALL BOAT HARBOR “We propose IMMERIATE ACTION relative to the con- struction of a harbor Jor “our gasboat fleet. We believe an ideal location for this harhor to be immediately north of the present Government dock’ and adjacent to Wil- loughby Avenue.” As a matter of fact, for thé past year City officials have been working in close co-operation with Governor Troy's office, Delegate Dimond and the Juneaw, Chamber of Commerog for the . consiruction of this harbor in the ‘area meéntioned. City En- gineer Lagergren has prepared plaks, showing the proposed lay- out of floats, docks, gridiron site, breakwaters, etc., after, con- sultations with government officials, fl.mermn and other ,boat | owners, and submitted them to War ment engineers for ¢ consideration. Mayor Goldstein di zho mafter thoroughly with the engineers in ‘Seattle’two ‘m: ago. They told him that Congress must first approve & vey before “authorizing funds for the necessary dredging. The otber day the rivers 4nd harbors ‘committee of the House approved Lthjs survey, which: is encouraging as a start. Everything that could be done by the CI}y on this tremend- ousiy important project has been done. The present administra- tion has been on the job so that “immediate action” is hardly recessary. FREE TEXT BOOKS “We stand for free fext books in our schools.” Will Rogers. says, “All I know is what I read in the papers.” And if you don't read the papers—if political candidates seeking the management of the City of Juneaw's sffairs will look up ihe issue of The Empire of March 8 they will find an announcement by Superintendent. Phillips ‘that the School Board had decided to adopt the free text book system next fall. ~This was made possible by a recent ruling of the Territerial Board of Education allowing municipalities 70% refund on free text books, which in effect calls for no additional burden on the taxpayers. The City Council last year went on record as favoring free text books when and if in the ju“gment of the members of the School Board such a policy wa: desirable d@nd practicable. If all this is news to tha capdidates running for office, we are glad to pass the infoxmaticn along. But why promise to do something that already hag been done? “HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO” “We stand for a redueuo‘ of ‘the present bonded indebtedness.” That's a plank every man, woan and child ¢an ‘endorse. But it takes considersble menta] ‘dgility. and imposes a sévere | strain on the credulity of the taxpayer to explain how in one breath one can talk about reducing bgnded indebtedness and in | the next arrange for the purchgse of, water works and other public utilities. What to use foy money? As a matter of fact the present administration is the -nly J one that has made a substantia] dent in'the city’s bonded :n-~ d.btedness for mony yeare, retiring $10.000 schodl bonds ‘n December, 1933. Unexpected and abnoymal relief requirements and other absolutely necessary-expenditures as . clearly: pointed out by Mayor Coldstein in his summary of the city's finanofal conditioh in Monday’s Empire are’tlie only things that prevented the city taking up another block of sehool or sewer bonds ‘this ¥ _Any surplus funds accumulating after the actuglly n: o8- sary expenses of the city. have been met should, by all means, be applied on the reduciion of the banded lnd!btewuss to qu 1 fullest possible exhnt It is good pouey for a city, as for an individual to p.y rtc debts when it has the money gnd to borrow only when abso- lutely necessary. ~Providing sinking. funds for futyre neavy expenditures does not hasten the Muethn of present bonded indebtedness. i Junean vitally\needs at this time the benefit of the practical experience of the men who \l have served the city’s best interests hanestly ‘B and capably. %) VOTE THE ECONOMYETJCKET ST, RAIGHT' ; And Codhcxlmen ART McKINNON WILLIAM J. \RECK GEORGE B.
