Proposed Kodiak Ferry Seen Feasible
 With Anchorage Included in Schedule

A proposal to connect Anchor age to the proposed Kodiak-H Homer ferry system would make the system feasible.
 This fact was brought out in the feasibility study made by Felix J. Toner, registered engineer, who completed the study recently for the State government. By connect ing Anchorage, the engineer stated the population made up of perma- Rent residents would be increased 10 times; the potential freight traffic would be considerably ex- banded; a greater number of tourists would be reached.
 Out of Anchorage, the ferry system would provide another mode of transportation for both the tourist or vacationing Alaskan. It would also provide loop trips from Anchorage to Inner and in reverse or tied in with plane ser vice.
 The engineer brought out the fact that resident AlaSkans would be induced to make their vacation trips in Alaska rather than wait to accumulate enough for a triD out side.
 Toner found in his study that due to the limited population served by the proposed ferry, if only Kodiak, Homer and the two ports of Port Graham and Port Chatham as well as Seldovia, were included, the ferry would not be feasible. He estimated it would serve about 5000 to 10000 resi- dents. The proposal to make a stop at Ilianlna Bay to serve the Iliamna Lake district and Bristol Bay was ruled out, mainly because of the present inadequate connect ing road and docking facilities at Hiamna Bay.
 Toner stated that all the other ports had adequate dock facilities. The vessel to be used would have the loading and unloading fac1i- ties as an integral part of the v1s- sel.
 Included in the study was tie present economy of the areas 10 be served. The engineer state | that the enlargement of the tTau-

 Anchorage alone, he said, could provide a market for all of the beef the Kodiak area can produce.

Transportation services on a frequent, rapid, dependable schedule have always brought in creased economic developments with them," Toner said.
 Though there was an over wlelming affirmation of intent to utilize the ferry system, he said, there exists little likelihood that enough revenues will be derived to make the proposed ferry system
