SAVES $600,000,
LEEHEY MIS
Maurice D. I.eeh-ey told the inter
departmental commission at Seattle
that some local regulatory body or
commission living in Alaska is nec
essary to regulate ocean shipping
and adjust complications arising in
water transportation. He stated that
the Alaska Territorial Shipping
board had saved the people of Alas
ka at least $600,000 by preventing
the proposed increase in freight
rates last fall. He said it developed
i
that such increase was suggested by
the Canadian lines in correspondence
with the American steamship com
panies at Seattle. Indeed, such an
increase was once announced by
E. P. Clark, of the Alaska Steam
ship company, while the Admiral
line issued a statement, when it
withdrew the Senator from the Nome
run, that it was losing money, and
would have to increase rates.
R. M. Semmes, traffic adviser of
the Territorial Shipping board, and
his accountants were engaged at
that time in assembling traffic data,
a summary of which has been pub
lished in the hearing of the senate
committee on commerce last March.
The steamship companies granted
another increase in wages in Au
gust, and an increase in the price
of fuel oil was announced, so they
declared it would be necessary to
increase rates. A conference with
Governor Riggs was had, and notice
was served by Mr. Leehey that any
increase in rates would be resisted.
The Territorial Shipping board has
thus far prevented the proposed in
crease, although the price of fuel
oil is increasing. Mr. Leehey says
they are prepared to show that any
increase in rates w'ould cripple the
[Territory and so reduce traffic that
the revenues of the lines would be
actually diminished by any increase
in rates.
Tonnage Figures.
! The increase proposed last fall
i would average $1 per ton. The
Alaska and Pacific Steamship com
panies last year handled 295,490
tons of northbound freight and 278,
199 tons southbound, a total oi
|573,689 tons. It is believed thal
traffic this year will exceed 600,000
tons, in view of the increased ton
nage of the Alaskan Engineerinj
! commission, so that an average in
'crease of $1 per ton means a sav
ling to the people of Alaska this yea;
iof over $600,000. Indeed, the sav
ing is greater, because it was alst
proposed to increase passenger rates
Mr. Leehey cited this in his argu
ment for the control of Alaska af

fairs by a body resident in the Ter
ritory, along the lines proposed by
Secretary Lane and embodied in the
Curry bill, creating a development
board in Alaska to take over the
work now handled by the federal
bureaus in the Territory.
Detailed Statements.
Mr. Leehey referred to the traf
fic data and financial statements
published in the hearings before the
senate commerce committee la3t
March. He told Dr. Alfred H.
Brooks the figures there published
gave only the summary, but the
Territorial Shipping board has sev
eral hundred pages of detailed state
ments, which he invited Dr. Brooks
and his committee to examine. The
data goes into every phase of the
traffic and costs of operation in the
Territory. He stated this data has
ibeen collected by the Alaska Terri
torial Shipping board at a cost of
$15,000. It is the only complete
Alaska traffic data ever assembled,
while the meager data collected by
the United States Shipping board
in its investigation of Alaska water
traffic in 1918 is reported to have
cost the Government over $80,000.
