LOCAL PRICES AIRED AT
! CHAMBER LUNCHEON
| The oft-recurring question of
! prices in general in Sitka and
I those included in the cost-of
ilivinlg survey conducted quart
I erly by the University of Al
aska in particular received
' much consideration aft the week
ly Chamiber of Commerce lun
1 cheon Friday.
Charles Kidd, who had ’ pre
pared a brief to be sent the
congressional committee which
held hearings here recently,
called upon members to give
him facts to back up the 12
per cent differential • between
Sitka and Juneau prices on
these 25 basic food items which
are listed in the cost-of-living
survey.
It was agreed that while dif
ferences in population and vol
ume, freight differential, lack
of a wholesale warehouse and
other fadors were contribut
inig factors — none of these a
lone appeared to be the whole
cause. However, it was pointed
out that ilf a commissary were (
opened at mi. jyogeouimoe, re
[ suiting in loss of business for
Sitka merchants and causing
loss of tax revenue to the City
of Sitka — then it would be im
possible for the city to embark
o* the program of expansion
(necessary for the industrial de
■ velopmenii in the Offing. Inas
much as the federal govern
ment is anxious to develop both
Alaska’s industry and popula
tion, it was felt it would not be
willing to see one of its agen
cies, by action such as setting
up a commissary, block the over
all program. ■
Several members remarked
that if “sloppy merchandising”
did exist, it should be correct
ed, possibly through efforts of
the Chamber’s retail trades com
mif.ee. It was noted the basic
item in the cost-of-living sur
vey were based upon the best
(and highest priced) brands in
stores and the question was
raised whether all stores in the
covered cities carried these
i brands. No action was taken.
! as the question was tabled for
one week.
Mr. and Mrs. James Huston
and the Rev. Holland Arm
strong’, all of Juneau, were
guests.. Mr. Houston is direct
or of .the Alaska Public Works
agency and was here for the
dedication of the new Sitka
grade school.
W. W. Knight was selected
as delegate to attend the fall
convention of the Alaska Cham
her otf Commerce at Fairbanks
November 3 through 5.
Fred Van Horn reported the
; commit:ee on restoration of St.
' MichaePs cathedral would meet
soon; they had $400 of a desir
. ed goal of $5,000 locally. John
