have to pay the full price plus taxes that go for the maintenance of the roads service people drive upon in their out of state licensed cars. don't think I have to go into detail to show that the garage man has to get more for his work than does a garageman in the lower 48.
 So you see, we not only start with a transportation factor which is over four times greater than that of service personnel, but this factor compounds itself.
 And consider financing. In or der to improve our plant and pro- duct we have had to borrow mon- ey, lots of it. Because it costs the bank more to operate here we pay a higher interest rate. Every dol lar we have borrowed has been charged 8 percent.

payroll is higher than it would be in Seattle for the simple reason that it costs our people more to live here. When our driver goes to pay his rent, the government doesn't pay any part of it. He has to pay his way. When our bakers go to the grocer they have to pay more than Seattle prices. The reason is obvious. Our grocer has to pay real transportation charge. He doesn't get a cut rale either. He has to pay higher wages to his help also. His maintenance and overhead costs reflect the cost of transportation and are therefor 3 higher. So you see that transpor- tation costs are a substantial factor to begin with and they snowball.
 Our operating costs are higher than Seattle. For instance, the fuel for our ovens has to be shipped from Seattle. This costs. The man
Kodiak mirror., 1963-09-06

who delivers the fuel has a high cost of living so he has to be paid a higher wage. His initial invest ment is higher, his operating and maintenance costs are higher. This all drives his price up higher, which drives our costs higher.
 We pay more for electric power for the same reason. The fuel that runs the generator is shipped in. This costs. The tools, equipment and spare parts are more expensive because of transportation costs. Distribution of power in this mari- time locale is a difficult thing. We have dependable power in a diffi- cult area to produce it and this costs. Higher priced power means higher bread production costs.
 Now take vehicle expense. This represents a considerable portion of our operating expense. When we buy gasoline for our trucks, we

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
 In recent issue of the MIRROR you printed letter from an uni identified group of servicemen's wives which related to what they called ''the bread situation here on the base" Since their letter dealt with our business and tended to impugn a reputation we have worked hard years to develop, feel that I must respond.
 The bread situation" is this. For nine years our firm has SUD- piled bread to the Commissary Store During that time we devel- oped reputation for high quality and dependable service. On July 24th the Commissary Officer in- formed us by letter that commenc- ing in September he would pur- chase white bread from Seattle and would use our bread only if needed. This represents change in Government purchasing policy which would to a degree affect the economy of an Alaskan com munity. We informed Senator Bartlett of this. Naturally, he was interested. Business taken out of Alaska means that much less in- dustry in Alaska and Alaska needs industry.
 Immediately, in their letter, this unidentified group refers to our price as exorbitant. I would like for them to see some of the factors
Kodiak mirror., 1963-09-06

that enter into our price. First consider the size of our market We are small shop serving very limited market. When we buy ma. terials we cannot reap the ad. vantages of volumn buying as the Seattle baking factories do. We cannot mechanize for volume and cut labor costs. Do they expect us to produce bread as cheaply as giant baking factories? And there is the transportation cost. This factor figures in in several ways. Are they aware that the Navy gets cheaper freight rate? Let me illustrate this. I have before me an invoice from one of our flouring mills, for one shipment of flour. The total of this invoice is $1,678.21. The corresponding warf- age and freight bill amounts to $626.24. Drayage from the dock is $62.62, making the total landed cost for this shipment $2,367.O7. You can see that the transportation costs represent 29 percent of the landed cost. The prices they pay in the Commissary reflect trans portation markup of only 2 percent.
 We get no special rates, no free ride. We have to pay our way. The Seattle baking factory doesn't have anything approaching our trans portation cost percentages. Yet they compare our price against theirs. Is this fair? Is this reason able?
 Take the matter of wages. Our
