Freight On Flour
Raised Nov. 10
Despite opposition by the
Alaska Development Board and
the attorney general’s office,
flour freight rates will be boost
ed Nov. 10. The increase comes
after a new tariff filed by the
Alaska Steamship Co. removed
flour from the “grain and grain
products” category and listed it
as “groceries.”
The increase will mean that
Anchorage and the Valley will
pay 71 cents a hundredweight
more on carload rates.
George Sundborg of the devel
opment board and Attorney-Gen
eral Ralph J. Rivers wired the
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and the Maritime Commis
sion asking that the tariffs be
suspended. Both agencies re
plied that they lacked authority
to do so.
The two territorial officials
then maintained that only
through statehood would Alas
ka “obtain adequate protection
against unjustified rate in
creases.”
“If Alaska were a state, rates
of the water carrier to the Rail
belt, or to any other portion of
Alaska, would be under the jur
isdiction of the Interstate Com
merce Commissio n,” they
claimed.
The Alaska Railroad had sig
nified its willingness to continue
to transport flour under the for
mer classification.

Home Planning
To Be Studied
Better farmhouse planning is
the objective of a study to be
instigated by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture in the near
future. The study will be con
ducted by the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics,
and will be assisted by regional
housing projects.
It is planned to make a sur
vey of household activities of re
presentative farm families in
four regions, in order to get in
formation on space requirements
of farm houses.
