ALASKA COAL SAID BE
 COMPARABLE PRODUCT
 0F BRITISH COLUMBIA

Alaska coal is equally as good as the British Columbia product" states F. R. Wadleigh. international coal authority, who six months ago was sent to Alaska by Secretary Lyman Wilbur, Department of the Interior, for the purpose of making complete and general report of the Alaska coal situation and to conduct tests.
 MT. Wadieigh's assignment is now completed and, accompanied by Mrs Wadleigh, left today on the SS Northwestern, enroute to their Washington home.
 The Alaska coal consumption last year was 179,0OO tons and the Alaska production was about 11O,- 900 tons, leaving approximately 67,000 tons imported.
 It is with a view toward future expansion of the Alaska coal in dustry and to aid in the facilitat- ing of coal transportation from rail to water that Seward civic organi- zations and others are striving to obtain the construction of coal bunkers at Seward so that Alaska coal can supply all Alaska and the tonnage accruing from this addi- tional coal haulage will greatly as- SiSt in reducing the annual Alaska Railroad deficit.
