One small business
in Anchorage had
caus3 to be thankful
last week that there
is still a Develop- •
ment Board in the
territory. A small
brick Iplarit in the
Cook Inlet city was
at last able to get a
•shipment of brickmak
ing machinery because
of the Board!s assis
tance.
The machinery, on
order from a factory
in North Carolina,
had been denied ship
ment by a southern
railroad because of
the embargo on fur
ther freight at the
Seattle docks, which
are still congested
with Alaskan orders#
The Development
Board and the Alaska
Steamship Co., worked
tbg^ther ' to effect
the movement of the
order* , and brickmak
ing machinery is nov;
en route, to the An
chorage plant.
