REQUEST HEARINGS!
IN ALASKA ON UPPED
RATES., FROZEN FISK
-On receipt of a notice that hear-!
ings will be held November 15 in
Seattle on increased rate- for trans
porting frozen fish (put into effect
last month', Gov. Ernest Qrueningj
telegraphed the Maritime Commis- j
.'■tin this morning, asking a change*
in the location of the hearings. ;
The Governor requested that j
hearings be transferred to some j
Ala ka point where the plaintiffs are
1 ca.cd or that additional hearings
b' ! :ld in A! o ka, in Ketchikan and
Juneau. I
"Thi 1' ild be done," the Gov- j
emor .-aid today, "because, first, no j
Alaskans were consulted and, sec-j
ond, there i no reason why Alas
kan-, in addition to probably having
to pay the increases, should be put |
to the additional expense and |
trouble of journeying outside ior
the hearings.
"It is my belief,” Governor
Cruening continued, “that the time
i—jv long due when hearings
affecting Alaska’s welfare and econ
omy should be held in Alaska.
"This doe- not mean," he said,
"that occasional hearings should not
be held elsewhere also, when cir
cumstances warrant.
"However, an increase in trans
portation rates so vitally affects
the economy and development of
Alaska that all Alaskans wishing to
have their say should be given the
opportunity to do so without having
to incur the additional cost and
expense of travelling long distances.”
