as Lowell Creek;
That sinoe the year 1903, The Alaska Central Railway, its
suc~essors in interest, now the goverment railway projeot, have
maintained near the mouth and out-let of said stream into the
tidal waters of Resurrection Bay, a short pile tresle, thereby
obstruoting the free flow of the waters of said Lowell Creek in
times of ordinary water;

That during the last seventeen years, since the obstruotion
of the mouth Of said stream, as aforesaid, in times of flood
water the silt, gravel, debris and water oarried in volume by
said stream 'Baoks Up', has no out-let, fills old ohannels, over-
flows, and oauses great damage to the property of the residents
of said Town of Seward; and, in time of extraordinary water,
threatens} the lives of said residents;
That by reason of said continued obstruotion of the mouth of
said stream, the Town of Seward, before incorporation in the year
1912, and sinoe that date of incorporation, has been compelled to
and has expended a sum approximating Fifty Thousand Dollars, in
an effort to oonfine said stream in proper ohannels, and prevent
losa and destruotion;
That under a plan now add~pted b~ said Town of Seward, it is
beleived by an expenditure of One Hundred Thousand Dollar., ade-
quate proteotion will be afforded' to the Town, its people and
the property contained therein
WHEREFORE, your memorialists pray that your honorable legis-
lature will petition that Federal Aid be given said Town of Sew-
ard, Alaska, to the extent of the sum of ($100.000) to be expend-
ed i,n publio'works seeking to proteot the lives, property, and
rail~oad property, from the ravages of Lowell Creek; the same to
be expended under and by direction of some engineer officer of
