Steamship
Rates Are
Up Again
■■ -
WASHINGTON — Valuations
. for rate making purposes of the
properties of the three steamship
companies operating between Pu
get Sound and ports in Alaska,
is proposed by the Maritime Com
mission Examiner who also re
commended a "fair rate return”
not exceeding 7Vfe percent.
I Examiner John Russell, of the
Maritime Commission, proposed
the following valuations tor rate
making purposes:
Alaska Steamship Company.
$6,875,000.
J Northland Transportation Com
pany, $1,675,007.
j Santa Ana- Steamship Com
pany, $285,000.
Investigation of the valuation
of the properties of the three
companies grew out of the
freight rate increases the Com
mission allowed in effect last
. M'ay 28. In allowing the increas
, es to go into effect however, the
, Commission required the comp-an
: ies to keep a detailed record
showing increases in rates collect
ed to be able to refund the
amount of the increases should
the Commission find them unjust
ified.
Examiner Russell said the pre
sent records are not sufficient to
pass upon reasonable rates and
the companies were requested re
cently to submit data to permit
of the analysis of the 1940 opera
tions but counsels for the com
’ pany declined to comply with
1 the request, contending the rates
• should be passed upon on the
basis of the records at the close
• of the hearing in October, 1940.
Examiner Russell said: "Such
contention is untenable in the cas
1 es" and he recommended the
■ Commission’s report be kept op
en until the companies submitted
> the requested data.
