Importing Items of Work
Performed by Alaska HR.
During Fiscal Year, 1925
Among the many important items
of work performed by the Alaska
railroad during the fiscal year
1925 may be mentioned the chang
ing over of the river steamer Gen
eral Jacobs from a wood burner to
a coal burner. Not alone has this
meant a great saving in operations
but also in time saved on making
the Yukon river run, as there is no
delay necessary to load fuel from
the river banks, as was the occasion
when the steamer was a woodbur
ner.
Wood for fuel for the river boats
cost $7.31 a cord on the river bank
w'hile coal is delivered on board the
steamer for $6.00 a ton, one ton of
coal doing the work of two cords
of wood.
Following is a list of the extra
ordinary or important, items of
work performed for the year July
1, 1924 to June 30, 1925:
raised from 3V& to 6 ft.
