tation for the State of Alaska, was
i in Copper Center on -the morning of
| September 11th for a public hearing
| -which considered the rates and char
ges now being assessed by the local
carriers. Discussed at the meeting
were such temper provoking items as
the newly enforced COD fee ( seems
it?s a law) and the minimum fees
charged for pick-ups. Mr. Edward R.
Sanders, Managing Director of the
Alaska Carriers Association, dis
tributed copies of a statement- pre
pared by his organization which gave
the carrier?s side of the story. Con
sidering the size of the community,
a fair crowd was in attendance, i.mong

was held at the Copper Center Lodge
were: Carl Nagel, Howard Bayless, mr
and Mrs John Knudson, Margaret Fraser,
Jean Speerstra, Mr and Mrs Cliff
Steadman, Eleanor Rosent, Orvil Ness,
James Morgan, and Jerry Hamrick.
It was suggested that persons ob
jecting to the COD fee avoid the fee
i in one of two ways - either by estab
lishing credit with their supplier or
'! by posting a cash amount with their
suppliers. It was also emphasized
that each pickup from a different
:source must be considered a separate
shipment and subject to the minimum
charge for a separate shipment.
Another meeting is expected to be
held sometime in October.
