WASHINGTON, July 27-(AP)- Treasury approval completed the formalities of extending the use of Canadian vessels in transporting passengers and merchandise to and from Alaska.
Frozen fish shipments were excluded, Delegate Bartlett said, because American lines reported they can handle this commodity.
Transportation of merchandise out of British Columbia ports for transshipment is limited to thirty days, because Alaska Transportation Company expects to have the ship Taku back in service by that time to serve Skagway.
In other instances the shipping arrangements will continue until November first.
