Telegraph Rates
Between Alaska and
States Will be Increased
The charge for sending tele
graph messages between Alaska
and other states will be increased
effective July 10. This increase is
due to a rate revision announced
by the Western Union Telegraph
Co.
The Air Force’s 1929 Communi
cations Group, which operates the
Alaska Communication System, re
ports that on and after July 10
an increase of approximately 10
per cent will apply to the West
ern Union's portion of toll charges
for full rate telegrams, day letters,
night letters, public opinion mes
sages and money order messages.
Western Union charges for state
side messages will vary from 10
to 30 cents for the basic message
toll, and additional words or 5
word group increases will vary
from V 2 to 2 cents; variations
based on the type of message and
destination.
Rates of the 1929 Communica
tions Group for telegraph services
between points within Alaska will
not be affected.
There will be no change in the
rates for press message service.

Palzer Asserts State
'Hijacked" His
Ferry Concessions
KETCHIKAN M — Chris Palzer
said today that he left half a
million dollars worth of provisions
and equipment aboard the Alaska
ferries when he tossed the conces
sion into state hands Wednesday
night.
“I fully provisioned each and
every one of the vessels to last
until Tuesday, and I can’t get any
of the stuff back,” said the Fair
banks businessman who was fired
last week as concessionaire for
the three Alaska ferries.
He said he might have to sue
the state to get his equipment and
to be paid for the supplies he
said he owns.
Palzer said the state has not
bought liquor licenses and that
they are illegal when selling
liquor without proper licensing.
He characterized the alleged state
action as nothing short of ‘’high
jacking” and said he had consid
ered taking a U.S. marshal to the
vessels and tying them up until
the money he says is due is paid.
In Juneau, the Attorney Gen
eral’s Office said it was not neces
sary for the state to obtain a
license to dispense liquor aboard
the ferries.
Howard P. Staley, Assistant At
torney General, who handles the
legal affairs of the Alcoholic Li
quor Beverage Control Board,
commented:
“The purpose of licensing is to
make sure that licensees abide by
standards established by the state.
In operating the cocktail lounges
aboard the ferries, the state is its
own insurer that its liquor regula
tions will be adhere to.”
