Alaska Coal Policy Hindered by Fuel Shortage and Delays
Gov Walter F Clark in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior urges leasing to develop Alaska coal fields and warns that prohibitions on development curb territorial progress. He cites two opposing groups and calls for government aid to railroads and new wagon roads to lower freight costs. Exports show domestic coal worth 208 219 shipped to Alaska and total coal imports plus shipments reaching 56 794 dollars with a large increase in merchandise and precious metals sent to the U S totaling 34 452 853 for 1910.
