SITKA SEEKING
BETTER FACILITIES
It is reported that the people have
organized a company in Sitka and sub
scribed enough money to build a high
class gas launch to be used as a ferry
boat between Sitka and Petersburg.
The infrequency of boats to the an
cient capital of Alaska has prompted
the citizens to devise means of over
coming the present handicap.
I The growing fishing industry has
| made the move almost a necessity.
The distance to Petersburg is only
118 iniles and it is intended to have
this boat make bi-weekly trips to the
great fishing town of Petersburg
which is on the path of all the steam
ers plying on Southeastern Alaska.
The new craft is to be 100 feet in
length and will cost about $15,000.
