A REPORT TO ALASKA
ON OUR OPERATIONS
At the present time there is considerable discussion about the rising costs of doing business.
In order to give our Alaska friends a realistic understanding of the problem* of the Alaska
Steamship Company in this respect, we are submitting our revenue and expense statement for
the past three years.
These are The Alaska Line’s only years of strictly private operation since 1941- The govern
ment managed Alaska shipping from 1942 until May, 1947, and the trade was under the Interim
Plan from that time through more than half of 1948.
These figures represent a loss to the company despite our most sincere efforts to operate
with utmost economy and efficiency.
