1946 LIGHTERAGE TARIFFS
We are considering no increase in lighterage rates.
Increased tonnage volume has enabled us to hold our rates at
prewar levels in spite of increased costs. In 1946 a continued sub
stantial tonnage is anticipated and therefore we expect our 1946
tariffs will average the same as in 1945 unless unlooked-for condi
tions affecting our costs should develop.
Gold mining is the life blood of Seward Peninsula and we
trust that no situation will arise which will so increase our oper
ating costs that increased tariffs become necessary.
Substantial increase in transportation rates would be detri
mental to Alaska business and mining interests and would add to
the already high cost of living.
