 If and when the port of Whittier is opened to general commerce there will be the job of keeping the port clear Someone, either through added freight rates or hidden taxes, will have to pay the cost of snow removal at Whittier, precipitation records for which are among the highest in the Territory. Who but our northern neighbors could better know the cost of such a project?
 The fact that our largest ship ping concerns favor the port of Seward will, undoubtedly h V e some bearing on the situation. One commercial company with large investment here is increasing itT handling facilities. This one com pany pays The Alaska Railroad 'r. the neighborhood of a quarter-mil lion dollars year for hauling itr products, a goodly portion of which are hauled no farther than Anchor age.
 Another fact to be considered is that as long as Alaska is a terri tory and it's status as strategic military area remains unchanged. the United States Army is going to have a big hand in any develop ments. It seems hardly sensible or feasible to expect our government to put all it's eggs in one basket" ;" Let's not cut off our nose to spite our face, just for the sake of maybe saving 70 cents on the purcahse of a $400 refrigerator.

Port of Whittier {?

Recent editorial m m e n in Fairbanks and Anchorage news papers concerning the develop ment of Whittier as the southern terminus of The Alaska Railroad instead of Seward. has given rise to grave concern and melted much discussion in the seaport city of Seward.
 Whether all this publicity is based on authentic facts and figures is also a matter of conjec- ture. The figures quoted maintain that the freight cost per ton from Seward to Anchorage is $15.l1: Whittier to Anchorage $l0.47-a saving of S4.87 per ton. According to our figures the saving would be S464 per tono The saving on freight shipped to Fairbanks would also be SAGA per ton.
 Taking SAGA as a basis we find the saving per 100 pounds to be 23 and fifth cents. Thus, an An chorage or Fairbanks merchant

Maritime COmmis. Report On Boring Sea Lighterage
Continued from Page One)

yield net income in excess of the amount found herein to be fair return" the report states, they are, and for the future will be, unjust and unreasonable, in violation of section Is of the Shipping Act of 1916.
 The Kotzebue Sound Lighterage Company also was found by the Commission to be in violation of law in handling cargo for Magids Brothers under a special contract at $2 per ton while the lowest rate named in the tariff applying to other shippers was $560 per ton. This company was ordered to correct its practices by May IS.
 Upon receipt of the above in- formation the Nome Nugget ob- tained the following information from the local office of Lomen Commercial Company regarding the Commissions order and re- port.
 The company has already filed with the Maritime Commission petition for Reconsideration since the Commission arbitrarily added some $80,000 to the 1946 earnings of the company due to a misrep- resentation of statistical data re- garding bulk oil tonnage handled by the company. Using the sched- ule of allowable expenses as de- termined by the Maritime Com- mission and the true income of the company the net result for 1946 is a profit of less than $1,000 or some IT times less than that con- sidered fair and just by the Com mission.
 The company will shortly is- sue a new tariff in which all lighterage rates will be expressed in cents or dollars per cubic foot or per 100 pounds. The outstand- ing departure from past practices is that in the future Groceries will be charged for on a weight basis only. This change will re- suit, according to recent studies, in an average reduction of about 25 per cent for lighterage charges on groceries. To the public this means thousands of dollars sav- ings for the food purse.
 The company has issued a new Storage Tariff which will be ad- hered to, but for the benefit of the shippers the free time allow ance has been extended from 5 to Is days after completion of the vessels discharge.
 With the arrival of the first freighter in Nome in June the company will add two new steel combination tank and freight barges to its fleet. These barges have been designed and built es- pecially for operation in this area and according to the builder are the sturdiest he has seen built. This represents substantial in- vestment and is evidence of the company's plan to maintain ade- quate and efficient equipment for service to shippers of Seward ,spcx,Io
