Nome Rates Soon
To Be Reduced,
Is Prediction
JUNEAU — An order reducing
the lighterage rates of the Lomen
Commercial Co., at Nome is ex
pected soon, it was reported in a
release from the Alaska Develop
ment Board this week.
Examiner F. J. Horan of the
U. S. Maritime Commission re
cently reported that the Lomen
company’s net income, under
1946 rates charged, was “more
than two and one-half times
what a fair return would justify.”
Rates again have gone up since
that report. ^
A company petition for a re
consideration of the report has
been denied by the Maritime
Commission.

real figures on which to base
this belief however, for no of
ficial Palmer census has been
taken.
Judge Kehoe then passed to a
consideration of individual ap
plications. He ruled that all ap
plications which involve a part
nership must be made in the
names of each partner. He re
quested that a change be made
in the application of the Palmer
Cocktail Bar in order to include
the names of both Marie and
Neal Wright and in the applica
tion of the Shamrock Bar, which
must be made in the names of
partners Jan, Harold and Sarah
Koslosky and Fred Wallace.
Attorney Ed Davis asked for
permission to temporarily with
draw the application of the
Shamrock Bar, until the signa
tures of all partners can be se
cured. Mrs. Sarah Koslosky is
now Outside.

Plans for the first annual Fire

Mr. Cook stated it is possible

Negotiations are now in progress |
with officials of The Alaska Rail

Tickets for the Ball are now
on sale, both in Palmer and in
Anchorage. Local residents may
purchase their tickets through
any member of the local Fire

All proceeds from this dance,

to the Carlson orchestra, a local
band,, will go to the Fire Associ
ation.
