Chugiak
Comment
By Justine M. Parks
Santa Claus was the big guest
of the evening last Dec. 23, at the
Chugiak coffee shop, when the
Community Club held it first
annual Christmas party for the
20 children of the Chugiak area.
Members brought a potluck
supper which they shared at
seats around the decorated
Christmas table. Games were
played until Santa arrived, when
the children gathered around
the Christmas tree for their pre
sents and stockings of fruit and
candy.
A huge chocolate cake baked
by Sergeant Duncan and decor
ated by Sergeant Allen was cut
and served to guests before they
departed just before midnight.
Members agreed that this first
supper and party was a success
and that it indicated the grow
ing need for a clubhouse.
The next get-together is plan
ned for Jan. 10. when more dis
cussion on the school district and
telephone system will be held.

Lighterage Firms
Charge Too Much,
Examiner Finds
JUNEAU — Lighterage rates
charged by the Lomen Commer
cial Co., at Nome are excessive
and unlawful, it was reported
this week by F. J. Horan, exam
iner for the U. S. Maritime Com
missioner.
The examiner found the Se
attle office of the company was
unnecessary and recommended
that it be abolished in order to
cut costs of operation. The ex
aminer also recommended that
the company cease charging for
services at a percentage of the
Alaska Steamship Company’s
rates from Seattle to Nome.
At the time of the investigation
Lomen was charging 50 percent
of the Seatle-Nome steamship
rates for lightering goods ashore.
The Kotzebue Sound Lighter
age Company, which is operated
by Archie Ferguson, was also
declared to be violating the law
by charging discriminatory rates.
Special rates were extended to
certain individuals in considera
tion for business favors.
The Nome investigation was
conducted at the request of the
Alaska development Board
which had complained that the
ligtherage rates were burden
some to residents of Bering Sea
ports and were discouraging to
economic development there.
