ruff flew to the lake this week
and will make the 2,000-foot as
cent by snowshoes, checking on
the amount of water held in the
snow in the drainage basin of
Eklutna Lake.
Other checks will be made at
the end of April; a check from
the air the latter part of May,
and periodical checks throughout
the year. The work consists of
checking snow fields for maxi
mum depth and water content,
and the rate of run-off each year
out of the lake. Data collected
from these tests are correlated
and in time will indicate the
average amount of water to be
expected. Under certain condi
tions, floods could be predicted
and a determination on the flow
of water per year which would
be available for irrigation, power
and the like can be determined.
The first 25,000 horsepower tur

is expected to be shipped from
Newport News very soon, with

increased rates are just and rea
sonable’ should without delay be
followed by public hearings for
these companies to demonstrate
indisputable proof that increases
are fair and reasonable. I submit
that the people of Alaska are en
titled to a measure of protection*
from the Federal Maritime Board
which they will not receive with
out immediate hearings. This is
especially true because although
it is stated the burden of proof
lies with the carriers, it is the
Alaskans who use the services of
these carriers who must carry the
burden of the increased costs.
Public hearings should not be de
layed because if it is found the
rates are not just and reasonable
Alaska shippers will be further
burdened by the trouble and ex
pense of claiming refunds on the
increased rates paid.”
