ant port steward.
Remaining at Pier 50 lor the
time being are the executive de
partment, the traffic department
and the ship repair shop, while
Pier 51 is still housing t,he pur
chasing department and the city
ticket office. These divisions will
move at a later date, when con
struction now underway at Pier 42
is completed. The accounting of
! fice remains at 65 Marion street,

“The need for improved facili
ties with better quarters for faster
and more efficient service to the
i Territory of Alaska has long been
realized by the Alaska Steamship
company and this well-planned
marine terminal—one of the most
modern in the United States—will
benefit all Alaska,” Baker said.
Pier 42 is 1,010 long with a
width of 396 feet. It includes two
one-story transit buildings, 110
feet by 961 .feet. The depressed
track area between the transit
buildings is 112 feet wide and in
cludes two covered loading plat
forms and four railroad tracks. In
addition there are 32-foot aprons
and two railroad tracks on the wa
ter side of each building
One of the characteristics whicn
contributes to the high value of
the Alaska Terminal is the divers
ity of methods by whicn cargo can
be received. A greater number of
trucks are able to unload by
means of tail-gate delivery, there
by minimizing expensive stand-by
time. Traffic congestion is prac
tically impossible due to the large
amount of space and because the
terminal was built some distance
away from the street thorough
fare. Trucks can also oe unloaded
inside the transit buildings.
Freight cars can be unloaded onto
the dock or directly aboard wait
ing vessels. Numerous switching
tracks prevent traffic problems
within the dock area.
