Maritime Commis.
Report On Bering
Sea Lighterage
(Continued from Page One)
yield net income in excess of
the amount found herein to be
a fair return,” the report states,
“they are, and for the future
will be, unjust and unreasonable,
in violation of section 18 of the
Shipping Act of 1916.
The Kotzebue Sound Lighterage
Company also was found by the
Commission to be in violation of
law in handling cargo for Magids
Brothers under a special contract
at $2 per ton while the lowest
rate named in the tariff applying
to other shippers was $5.60 per
ton. This company was ordered
to correct its practices by May
15.
Upon receipt of the above in
formation the Nome Nugget ob
tained the following information
from the local office of Lomen
Commercial Company regarding
the Commission’s order and re
port.
The company has already filed
with the Maritime Commission a
petition for Reconsideration since
the Commission arbitrarily added
some $80,000 to the 1946 earnings
of the company due to a misrep
resentation of statistical data re
garding bulk oil tonnage handled
by the company. Using the sched
ule of allowable expenses as de
termined by the Maritime Com
mission and the true income of the
company the net result for 1946
is a profit of less than $1,000 or
some 17 times less than that con
sidered fair and just by the Com
mission.
The company will shortly is
sue a new tariff in which all
lighterage rates will be expressed
in cents or dollars per cubic foot
or per 100 pounds. The outstand
ing departure from past practices
is that in the future Groceries
will be charged for on a weight
basis only. This change will re
sult, according to recent studies,
in an average reduction of about
25 per cent for lighterage charges
on groceries. To the public this
means thousands of dollars sav
ings for the food purse.
The company has issued a new
Storage Tariff which will be ad
hered to, but for the benefit of
the shippers the free time allow
ance has been extended from 5
to 15 days after completion of the
vessel’s discharge.
With the arrival of the first
freighter in Nome in June the
company will add two new steel
combination tank and freight
barges to its fleet. These barges
have been designed and built es
pecially for operation in this area
and according to the builder are
the sturdiest he has seen built.
This represents a substantial in
vestment and is evidence of the
company’s plan to maintain ade
quate and efficient equipment for
service to shippers of Seward
eninsula.
