Writer On Tour
Visits Kodiak
Mr. Van Sprang was a visitor in
town for several days. He is from
Amsterdam, Holland.
Mr. Van Spang is making a tour
of the territory. He has already
been in Southeastern, Anchorage jjj
and Fairbanks, and expects to go |
to Nome and Pt. Barrow. He is a jj
free lance writer, and is collecting d
material for subsequent articles to 8
appear in various magazines.
This is Van Spang’s first vis:t to
the territory. He has travelled
over most of the world in search
of material for articles that have
appeared in publications through
out the world.
Freight Traffic
Survey Started '
2
The Alaska Resource Develop- g
ment Board is making a Freight I
Traffic and Tariff Survey of sur- |
face transportation in the Terri
tory. Work on this project began
August 6, according to A1 Ander
son, Executive Director.
Anderson said that the major
portion of the analysis will be di
rected by Llewelyn C. Jones,
Freight Traffic Manager for the
Ketchikan Pulp Company.
The purpose of the survey, An
derson said, is to assist the ship
pers of Alaska in working out
shipping patterns and methods
which will result in lower trans
portation costs. These transporta
tion costs, Anderson said, cut
across every segment of the econo
my of Alaska. These costs must
be reduced if the Territory is to
prosper and develop, he stated.
Anderson said that he hoped
that the study would be completed
and publisher by December 31 of
this year. <
