COMMERCIAL CLUB VOTES
FOW LOW FREIGHT RATE
_____
A fairly largely Attended meeting
of members of the Nenena Com
mercial Club and others interested '
in the welfare of Interior Alaska,1
was held last Saturday night at the
quarters of the club in the Union
building, the object of the meeting
being to discuss the question of'
freight rates on the Government
railroad.
The meeting was called by Chair
man J. R. Bowen, of the Commercial
Club, in response to a request made
by Fred’k D. Browne, former en
gineer in charge, who wished, thru
the club, to meet those interested
and to discuss informally the ques
tion of schedules to be levied on the
Government railroad when it is
put on an operating basis. I
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman Bowen, with Bob
Toussaint acting as secretary. The
chairman, after he nad explained
the purpose of the meeting, called
upon Mr. Browne to submit a propo- :
sition by way of initiating the dis- !
cussion.
Mr. Browne said that he had been
appointed to assist in formulating
fair rates and, with this object i.n
view, he wished to ascertain at first
hand, of consumers and others in
terested, what would be considered
by them to be a fair freight rate.
The railroad was put through for
development purposes and, he thot.
that after construction and when :
the road was on a regular operating
basis, without a doubt, freight rates
which would be favorable, generallv
speaking, will be levied. The ques
tion at issue, he said, hinged largely
around the opinion of those inter
ested in the development of Alaska,
as to what would constitute a fair
rate of freight which would tend
to expedite the development the
road was built to bring about. Per
sonally, he was in favor of giving
the bona fide homesteader, pros
pector and miner a low, less-than
cost rate, and this would be his re
commendation. He invited an in
formal discussion of the matter in
order that he may arrive at an
understanding with the people of
the Interior and get their viewpoint
as regards freight rates, and make
his recommendations in accordance
therewith.
After considerable discussion of a
more or less desultory nature in i
which nearly everyone present took ,
part, it was resolved that the sense
of the meeting was that the freight
rates should be placed by the Gov
ernment as low as possible and that
any base rate in excess of §25 per
ton will not be in keeping with the
purpose for which the railroad was
built.
Mr. Browne is one of the members
of a committee appointed recently
to make a thorough investigation
of freight rates on the Alaska Gov
ernment railroad, and to prepare a
comprehensive freight tariff for
future guidance. William Gerig,
former assistant chief engineer and j
B. H. Barndollar, examiner of ac
counts, are the other members of
the committee.
The scope and purpose of this:
committee, as set forth in a state
ment issued by the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, at Anchor
age, are as follows:
“This committee wil make a study
of freight tariffs, schedules and
classifications now in effect on the
Alaska Government railroad. They
will also prepare a tabulated com
parison of existing tariffs on the
Alaska railroad with tariffs of other
railroads in Alaska, and with cer
tain railroads in the United States
of similar class and mileage. Their
most important work will be the
preparation of new freight tariffs
applicable to the operation of all
parts of the Alaska railroad, in
cluding specific recommendations for
class, distance and commodity rates
or through and locfal freight tariffs.
“The report of this committee
will be promptly forwarded to the
secretary of the interior for his
inforamtion and study, and it is
hoped that sufficiently early action
will be secured in approval 01
modification of same to enable the
new tariff to be put into effect on
January 1, 1922."
BROTHER OF MRS. COGH1LL
WINS SCHOLARSHIP ABROAD
Mrs. William A. Coghill, of this
city, received advices recently from
the old country, telling of the suc
cess of her young brother. Jack
Fortune. The lad, who is only 19
years of age. took up a pretty stiff
examination in competition with a
great many other students, and
came out first in the order of merit,
thereby winning a scholarship, in
the South Wales Institute of En
gineering, entitling him to a full
three-year course in the institute,
free of charge, and a bonus of 70
pounds, which is equivalent to about
$280.
The young man had entered into
a four-year apprenticeship with a
big engineering firm, two of which
he had already served, and his em
ployers cheerfully accorded him th»
necessary furlough in order that he
may enter on his course immediately.
He means to spend his vacations
from the institute with his employ
ers and serve out his apprenticeship
in that manner.
He is going in for electrical en
gineering at the institute. This is a
new institute, built on the grounds
of Singleton Abbey, in Swansea,
Glamorganshire, Wales, and was only
opened last summer by King George
of England.
