THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1936. — g T — Small Boat Harbor ! “WE FAVOR THE IMMEDIATE CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL BOAT HARBOR,” says one set ¢f candidates for mayor and councilmen. So do we all; but no honest man can promise that, and any man or set of men who do make such promise are either submitting their sincerity to a very severe test, or else DISPLAYING WOEFUL IGNORANCE OF THE WHOLE SUBJECT. . We do not intend to question their sincerity, so we will content our- selves with recommending that they read the local daily papers of March 21 and March 26. The proposed small boat harbor is a U. S. War Department project, which could not be constructed by the City of Juneau under any cir- cumstances, even if it had the quarter of a million dollars necessary to pay the cost. It requires, first; permission from the United States; second: ap- proved surveys and plans by the War Department; and third, an appro- priation of funds by Congress. Such things are not all done in a day. But again we say, LOOK AT THE RECORD. It has all been published. Mayor Goldstein and the Council have been working on this for over two years. Last summer, Congress passed a bill and APPROPRIATED THE MONEY FOR AND AUTHORIZED THE SURVEY by the War Department engineers. The survey would not be made in the winter, but a hearing is set for early in June of this year, at which the City will submit the necessary data, which the Mayor and the Chamber of Commerce have been gathering for many months. (See local daily papers of March 21.) This boat harbor, as originally planned by the City Council, WOULD COST $275,000.00. The reduced estimate of the Government engineers is $200,000.00. In our platform we do not promise the impossible, nor do we promise something for nothing; and we frankly say that the building of the boat harbor will require the continued assistance and cooperation of Gov- ernor Troy, Delegate Dimond and the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, without which the project would not be in its present satisfactory stage. But it is the Mayor who must take the initiative in such things—A MAYOR WHO MUST BE ON THE JOB AT ALL TIMES. Would it be wise to take such an important matter out of the hands of a man who has had such a large share in all the necessarily tedious and preliminary steps and negotiations, and at this stage take a chance of placing it in charge of men who are so profoundly ignorant of even the nature of the project ? Whether they are elected or not, we believe they have the good of the community at heart, and again we recommend that they read the local papers refered to, and LOOK AT THE RECORD. ' BONDED INDEBTEDNESS The only increase in bonded indebtedness under Mayor Goldstein’s administration is that demanded and authorized by the overwhelming majority of voters for PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS, which will pay for themselves in reduced cost of maintenance of streets, sidewalks, ete.; and for every dollar spent on these improvements, we have received thirty cents free from the Federal Government. Our opponents again display ignorance in BLAMING ANY BONDED INDEBTEDNESS ON THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL. The law does not empower the Mayor or Council to ISSUE ONE DOLLAR’S WORTH OF BONDS. That can only be done by Special Act of Congress, and when authorized by a majority of the taxpayers. THE MAYOR AND COUN- CIL HAVE NO POWER IN THE MATTER. DURING THE PAST YEAR $10,000 WAS PAID ON THE CITY’S BONDED DEBT, AND IN 1933 THE BONDS WERE REDUCED BY A SIMILAR SUM. Does the record indicate that Mayor Goldstein has caused the City’s bonded indebtedness to “increase by leaps and bounds?” THE PEOPLE’S TICKET For Mayor— I. GOLDSTEIN For Councilmen— RALPH H.
