ALASKA ZONING FOR PARCEL
POST ASSURED
A net? parcel post zone system is to te,
established in Alaska shortly that will
give residents the same benefits for
shorter distances that people in the
States have always enjoyed.
Assurance that a new parcel post zone
system would be established in Alaska
soon was given'by the Postoffice ‘ Depart
ment after M,W. Goding of Skagway, head of
the new regional office of the Bureau 6f
Foreign and Domestic Commerce in Juneau,
discovered an obscure point of law that
leaves the Postoffice Department no dis
cretionary power in the situation and call
ed it to the attention of officials in
Washington.
The mattef was carried farther by Joseph
T. Flakne, Chief of the Alaska Section,
Division of 'Territories and Island Posses
sions, James FLetcher, formerly on the
University of Alaska faculty and now a
member of the'Department of Commerce staff
in Washington, and Delegate E.L,Bartlett.
Ever since parcel post service was ortende
to Alaska,'8th rone rates only have been
applicable. Thus it has cost as much per
pound to send a parcel post'package from
Fairbanks to Anchorage as it has cost to
sent onO-.from FLorida to Nome; or as much
from Palmer to Anchorage as from Nome to
Boston.
The Fostoffice Department helped by the
Commerce and Interior, departments will
first have to do som^manping before this
can be accomplished. _
