SHIPPING LAWS FOR ALASkA ARE
 Up FOR CHANGE
Proposals Suggested by Foster MC6overn of
 Seattle {. of {.

Definite progress was made dur ing the past month ill efforts to have export declarations on ship ments to and from Alaska aboi- ished or simplified, according to Foster L. McGovern, Assistant Gen. eral Manager of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, which Organiza- ton is cooperating with the Cham bers of Commerce throughout the Territory in this movement.
 This requirement., established by law in 1902, made it mandatory that notarized export declarations be filed with the United States Customs Office for each shipment to Alaska, and that they show the item, value and amount. The sole purpose of gathering this informa- tion is to compile statistics on the commerce of Alaska. It involves a large amount of clerical work, which costs shippers over $l00,000 a year, to say nothing of frequent delays in shipments.
 Early in July, representatives of more than 40 firms, constantly ship ping goods to Alaska, met with Der hard Barton, Chief of the Division of Statistics of the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce, who came to Seattle from Washington, D. C., to attend a meeting called by the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 From the two-day discussion came three suggestions for the solution of the problem They were received favorably by Mir Barton, and he is now taking them up with the ap propriate Departments at the Ma tional Capital.
 It is felt that from his consid eration of these suggestions, so- lution will be worked out which will simplify the handling of AL askan shipments
 The recommendation being con- sidered are:
 CD That the Department of Com nerce endeavor to simplify the clas- sifications, breaking down its sched- ule from it's list of 1,750 items to 100 items;
 (2l That Q plan be developed whereby an extra copy of the bill of lading be made for the depart ment to serve as the export declar- ation, thereby eliminating the nec- essity of double copying of the items and their descriptions;
 (3) Elimination of the necessity of having the declaration notar- i1ed.
