Army Dock
Now In Use
A trio of boats, the Cordova,
Denali and Lakina, arrived this
week from Seattle, to be the first
to use the facilities of the Army
dock under the new arrangement
by which the city is leasing the
dock facilities from the Army.
To secure discharging of the
Cordova at the Army dock, a
petition was circulated last Sat
urday with a reported high per
centage of local consignees sign
ing to requ st that the boat dock
there. It came first to Erskine’s
where it unloaded Erskine’s
! freight and cans for the McCoa
faghy cannery and then want to
' the Army dock to unload more
l cans for the cannery and freight
i foi Kia t’s and Knudeen’s.
The Lakina arrived here at 11
am yesterday with almost 600
i tons of freight and after dis
charging a the Army dock is tc
; finish unloading at Erskine’s.
! The lease negotiated by the
I city is a temporary set up unti
the dock comes up for disposal
[To manage the dock during the
'period the city ananged with
Ben Kraft, former owner and op
erator of the dock before tjie Ar
my took it over, to manage the
dock temporarily during the
present operation by the city.
Mr. Kraft is employing the
same tariff as used before the
war, at the general cargo rate ol
$2 80 a ton. The Erskine rate
! has been $3.60 per ton, and or
the last vessel a 50 cents per tor
surcharge was added.
Walter Sipprell, local Alasks
Steamship agent, announced this
week that with 2 docks avail
able for shippers, it will be nec
essary for anyone ordering freighl
to notify the shipper to specify
on the bill of lading which dock
the freight is to come over. Oth
erwise, he said, the freight will
be routed to the city dock, be
cause of the lower rate prevailing
and because the larger ships car
dock there and not at Erskine’s
making possible more frequenl
sei vice.
Comdi. and Mrs. Steel and 2
| sons of the Naval base, spend
