SEEK FUNDS FOR
RATE HEARINGS
A recommendation to the Legis
lature that it appropriate $20,000
lor the Attorney General’s office
to defend the people of the Terri
tory in transportation rate cases
in the coming biennium was made
by the Alaska Development Board
at a meeting which concluded at
Juneau last week.
The Board noted in a formal
resolution to the Legislature on
the subject that expenditure of
Development Board funds to re
tain admiralty counsel had been
instrumental in defeating propos
als which would have doubled wa
ter transportation rates in the past
year and subjected Alaska ship
pers to an increased freight bill of
approximately $8,000,000.
Active participation by the De
velopment Board in recent cases
of this nature was required, the
resolution states, because no other
agency of the Territory was finan
cially able to put up on adequate
defense and because such in
creases in freight costs would
have made further economic de
velopment in Alaska difficut if
not impossible.
The Board recommended to the
Legislature that funds be provided
to permit the Territory’s interest
in this direction to be defended in
the future by the Attorney Gener
al because he is the appropriate
officer to discahrge this duty, and
because the Development Board
itself wishes to be free to direct
its energies in the coming bien
nium to more positive and con
structive development opportun
ities.
The Board announced it would
continue to appear in rate cases
scheduled for hearing between
now and the end of the biennium
March 31. Counsel will represent
the Board at a resumption oi the
Bering Sea lighterage case hear
ings in Seattle January 20 and at
opening of a hearing there two
days later on increased terminal
rates across Seattle docks. The
reasonableness of lighterage rates
at Nome, Kotzebue and other
places is under study in the former
case, and of Seattle wharfage and
handling charges on Alaska cargo
in the latter.
