council To Study Dock Rates
Before Making Raise
The city council decided
Monday night that more study
*rzs necessary before the rates
wharfage and handling of
.''eight at the city dock could
he raised.
•It a previous meeting
Mayor Lee C. Bettinger had
asked the dock committee to
bring in a recommendation for]
?. higher tariff after it was
discovered that the city was
fosing around a dollar on
every ton of freight handled
fey longshoremen.
A representative of the
longshoremen’s union, busi
nessmen and others joined
*rith the council in a lengthy
discussion on raising the rates.
It was generally agreed
that local longshoremen were
not as efficient as those of
s>ther Alaskan coastal cities
because of the small number
boats worked here.
Wharfage and handling
rates in Seward are lower
than those here yet the long
shoremen work under a simi
lar contract. It was pointed
out that in Seward the num
ber of boats arriving and
leaving are greater and that
the longshoremen are of pro
fessional caliber.
Mayor Bettinger urged the
committee to continue it’s
study and to arrive at a
new figure as soon as possible
“The city is losing money on
every bo it unloaded,” he de
clared.
Councilman William Worth
suggested that the entire
council meet as a committee
to study the problem.
