financially feasible. Toner was re
ferring to the limited operation
proposed. Expanding it to include
Anchorage would change the en
tire picture.
“It seems apparent that adding
Anchorage with approximately
100.000 permanent civilian and
military residents plus a probable
50.000 tourist visitors per year to
the sendee area certainly will pro
vide a traffic potential that will
contribute very materially to the
financial feasibility of the propos
ed ferry operation.”
Toner thought the ferry could
he a gleat tourist attraction. A
reasonable fare structure undoubt
edly would attract many to the
service,” he stated. “Even for those
who have no reed to ship a car to
Kodiak, the availability of a boat
trip to that city as a walk-on pass
enger will provide a definite at
traction.”
A schedule of services for both
winter and summer were set up in
the report. The summer schedule
for the period from May through
September for the Kodiak-Homer
run, provides for six round trips
;per week. Way port stops at Sel
dovia, Port Graham, and Port
Chatham would be made once a
week in each direction.
An alternate summer schedule
makes provision for the inclusion
of Anchorage. Under it, five round
trips per week are proposed for
the Homer-Kodiak leg with way
port stops once a week in each dir
ection plus an additional two
round trips per week from Hom
er to Anchorage and return.
The winter service provides for
three round trips per week from
Homer to Kodiak and return. Dur
ing this period it will be necessary
to remove the vessel from service
for approximately six weeks each
year for a ran to Seattle for an
nual overhaul and maintenance.
A vessel adequate to meet the
requirements of continued fast
service, under adverse sea and
weather conditions was found to
be necessary. Toner consulted a
Naval Architect in Seattle and
following that, outlined the re
quirements along the following
lines:
A. The vessel should have cap
acity for approximately 60 passen
ger vehicles and for 200 walk-on
passengers in addition to the driv
ers of the vehicles. Reclining
chair accommodations should be
provided for the passengers.
B. A restaurant and lounge fac
ility should \be provided for the
passengers.
• C. The vessel should be designed
to handle any vehicle which could
qualify for legal over the highway
operation, limiting the length to

60 feet overall.
D. The vessel should have a ser
vice speed of fifteen knots and
have twin screw propulsion.
E. The vessel should provide its
own loading and unloading facil
ity through the use of an elevator
turntable combination.
Estimated cost of a vessel meet
ing these requirements was fixed
at $2,258,500.
Operating costs were next dealt
with in the report. A figure of
$346,348 was arrived at for the
winter schedule. This included es
timated financing costs, adminis
trative and overhead costs. Oper
ting on* the summer schedule on
the Kodiak-Homer ruh he estimat
ed would be $439*906. Estimated
cost for the Anchorage-Homer run
during the summer he set at $449,
104.
A study of the proposed fare
structure proves interesting. In the
study, the rate structure for pass
enger car and driver is 30 cents
per mile; passenger, 6 cents per
mile; truck under 40 feet in length,
56 cents per mile; and truck over
40 feet, 68 cents per mile.
The proposed one-way fares as
they apply to Kodiak are as fol
lows:
V
Kodiak to Anchorage car and
passenger, $89. Passenger fare, $18.
Truck under 40 feet, $168; over 40
feet, $204.
Kodiak to Homer, car and driv
er, $14.50. Passenger fare, $9.
Truck under 40 feet, $84; over 40
feet, $102.
Felix Toner stated in iiis sum
mation that the preliminary study
lead to the conclusion, that the
proposed ferry system, with the
service expanded to include Anch
orage and vicinity during the sum
mer months, represented a finan
cially feasible project for the
State to undertake.
