continue to hold, in the growth
and development of Seattle's
trade with Alaska is one of the
most important factors in this
city's maritime commerce.the Al
aska Committee recommends to
the Board of Trustees that it re
quest the City Council to select
the name “Alaska Way” to re
place the name “Railroad Avenue
“In support of this recommen
dation, and to indicate to the
Board of Trustees the compara
tive importance of Alaska's com
merce, the Alaska Committee de
sires to present the following
facts:
Exports and Imports
“In each of the last four years,
1932 to 1935 inclusive, shipments
from Seattle to Alaska have ex
ceeded in value this city’s ship
ments to all foreign countries. In
1935 Alaska’s trade amounted to
$8,000,000 more than our total for
eign exports.
“In 1934 and 1935 Seattle’s im
ports from Alaska surpassed
those from all foreign countries
approximately $5,000,000 per year
"In 1034 Seattle's total imports
and exports with Alaska exceed
ed this city’s total foreign im
ports and exports by $7,368,559.
In 1935 this excess in favor of
Alaska's trade had grown to $14,
210.295.
Alaska's Vast Trade

chased Alaska in 1867 products
valued at $1,878,603,000 have been!
shipped out of the Territory, j

over $876,000,000 has been shipp- j

more—valued at $1,021,808, more
—than was shipped from Seattle

and Atlantic ports.
Great News Center
Mr. McGovern also calls atten
tion to the fact Seattle has be
come a great news exchange cen
ter. He says:
“The Associated Press offices at
Seattle are now the third largest
of the association in the United
States. The city leaped to front
line position in respect to news
I
! service a year ago, when the
Post-Rogers tragedy startled the
world and made a tremendous
demand for nor'hern news.
“News of the Matanuska colony
the great gold activity and the
rapidly expanding tourist busi
ness in Alaska also has created a
widespread demand for news that
is centered at Seattle and distri
buted over the continent. News
of the Orient and the Pacific NW.
also gives Seattle an impetus as
a great news center. But Alaska
occupies a premier position in
the business of the Seattle news
agencies, and this means Alaska
is much in the public eye through
out America and growing more
so every dav.”
