Speedy Delivery of
Rail Freight Assured
(Continued from Page 1)
through Valdez because of first
calls being made there could have
the effect of reducing work oppor
tunities in Seward to a minimum.
Unless Seward can continue to
handle the majority of the cargo
moved into the interior the pros
pects for the future are not too
bright, he added. It was empha
sized that it is particularly unfair
on the part of vessel operators to
give Valdez priority over Seward
in routing ships when Seward dis
charge totals almost four times
the amount of cargo consigned
through Valdez. At the present
rate of diversion there is a strong
possibility that the figures might
eventually be reversed unless
prompt action is taken to influence
shipping firms to call first at the
port of Seward.
The discussion revealed that
Seward town freight averages ap
proximately 12 to 14 thousand tons
annually which is considered high
ly desirable traffic for a city the
size of Seward. A recommendation

VISITS SEWARD
J. L. Hanna, vice president and
director of the Standard Oil Com
pany of California, visited Seward
with Mrs. Hanna last week. They
are making a trip on the F. S.
Bryant.
This was their second visit to
Seward and they enjoyed a trip out
the highway to Hope with Captain
Johnson, master of the tanker.
Due to ill health, Hanna is in
temporary retirement, and at pres
ent is acting only in the capacity
of a consultant. A large T-2 tanker
has been named in his honor.
Mrs. A1 Noyes and son, Jeff, re
turned last week from a vacation
of several weeks’ duration in the
States. Mrs. Noyes, who has a fine
reputation as a dressmaker, will
open a sewing service at the
Youth Center in the near future.
was made to request ship operators
to route vessels via Seward first
to speed up local deliveries and
railbelt consignments and to under
take a campaign to have all local
shippers move their tonnage via
tha line that will give Seward
priority in routing. It was also
recommended that the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce, be re
quested to join local firms in hav
ing schedules favor Seward before
Valdez as a means of speeding up
Anchorage deliveries that are now
being delayed because of first calls
at Valdez.
The meeting concluded with an
expression of determination to give
Seward the preference it deserves
as a year round port and to take
such action as forthcoming investi
gations indicate proper njid effect
ive to keep the port of Seward in
the forefront of the shipping in
dustry upon which the city depends
in the main for its livelihood.
