Terminal Yard for
 Alaska RR
General Manager Johnson to Ask S4,000, 1000
 Appropriation

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. z3.- tR-Col. J. P. Johnson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, said the company will ask the next session of Congress for S4000,o0o to finance construction of term insl yard here
 lie said the yard would be able to handle 800 cars. It would be three and a half miles long and have 80 miles of track
 The appropriation would not in- clude the proposed construction of some 22 new railroad buildings.
 The company also announced It's plans to cut it's payroll from a re- cent peak of 2,8GO to about 200o in line with a program to trim S54O 500 from the monthly operat- ing costs. Reduced traffic because of the maritime strike necessitates the cut, officials said.
 It is expected about S240,500 will be shaved from the monthly pay roll as seasonal work is termin- ated on outdoors construction On the railroad operating jobs.

 Your Taku wind is something we promised the Chamber of Commerce we wouldn't mention. Mayor Waino Hendrickson assured us your usual unusual weather was more unusual and usual-that was when we asked who p.cked up that barge and drop ped It on the outskirts of the air port. Barges don't have wings down our Way-although our airpianes did find l2 feet of water on the munlcl- pal airport one dark night in June this spring, thanks to the Colum- b,a r.ver flood
 The airport's open again, how ever. and we'll be. seeing you when the CAB grants permission for that additional air service we and your inimitable Charlie Carter and Wal no hendrckson were testitying for at Anchorage this week.

 The people of Cordova have been most grateful for the service of the non-scheduled lines as the rates of moving cargo on scheduled lines were prohibitive,' the Mayor declared.

ALASKA AIRLINES
 RECEIVES BIG SUM FOR CARRYING MAIL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-lR- The Civil Aeronautics Board to- day authorized a lump sum pay ment of $388,000 to Alaska Airlines as mail pay for the year l947.
 The board at the same time fixed a rate of 90 cents per air. plane mile for carrying mail since last January l. This rate is based on daily flying of 1000 miles. An airplane mile is simply the num- Der of miles flown in scheduled ser vice.
 The 1947 rate figures out to 75 cents an airplane mile.
 The lump sum authorized today includes mail pay already paid to Alaska Airlires for that year.

Milford chronicle., 1948-02-27

An understanding caution dOmin-
ates the business fOrecasters these
days. They've been wrong so often
with guesses that backfired that
they are hedging their current pre-
dictions with a protective fog of
"ifs, "ands," and butts" This has
been particularly true in the analy-
ses of turbulence in the commodity
exchanges. No one in a responsible
position has been willing to offer a
really unequivOcal opinion on
whether basic commodity prices
will keep on going down, will sta
bilize, or will recover. strongly and
resume their climb into the econo-
mic stratOsphere.
Business volume, Of course, is
still at an extreme high and the
great bulk of businesses are doing
well. However, certain trouble
spots have begun to appear which,
while more or less isolated as yet,
may have an important long-term
effect on the whole industrial
structure, One of these spots is
credit. The United States News re-
Gently published a survey of this
problem, which pointed out that the
credit needs of many businesses
have turned out to be Unexpectedly
large. They entered the postwar era
with such large resources on hand
that it didn't seem wise or neces-
sary to issue securities to raise
cash. But higher prices, wages, and
the even-rising cost of physical ex-
pansion have eaten into their capi-
tai at an alarming rate. They must
look to bank loans to carry them
through
Bank lending, says the News, is
now becoming more restrained.
Marginal borrowers, especially, are

~ everyone believes that a certain
amount of price decline would be
extremely desirable. But few be-
lieve that the country could stand
a return of prices to the 1941 or
any similar level, even if such a
miracle were possible. The whole

Jump in the amount of money we
will have to spend on the armed

revenue it needs, a serious defiation

The effect of possible lower pri-

so bright as it was a short while
back. The case for tax reduction

being discouraged. A bank econO-
mist is quoted as saying, THE over
all situation of business is quite
strong at the moment, but, under
present conditions, an individual
could lose his shirt in 30 days."
Bankers are keeping a wary watch
on the price and business volume
indices. They are advising their
customers not to get Over-extended.
Some concerns, which were riding
the top of the wave not so long ago,
are actually on the brink of failure
now, due to Over-Optimistic COM
mitments. AS the Chicago Federal
Reserve Bank expresses it, in the
1argOn of finance, IAN increasing
number of individuals and business
firms are experiencing financial
stringencies and hence are becom-
ing more and more vulnerable 10
any interruption or slowing down
in income or production"
The inventory problem is another
potential headache. Manufacturers.
wholesalers and retailers all are
carrying inventories that, meas
ured in dollars, are double or more
the prewar level. A sharp price
break could cause an untold loss.
Thus, the tendency may we'll be to
gradually reduce inventories, and
tc repelnish with care. The big re-
tailers are being especially watch
tul, and are cOunseling their in
dustry to get absolutely top value
for each dollar spent. The retailers
are the first to feel consumer re-
sistance when it appears, and it
has been noticeable lately in some
lines, such as high priced foods,
and luxuary and semi-luxury
