32 INVESTIGATION OF THE FUR-SEAL INDUSTRY OF ALASKA. 



The single item of coal, if a coal pile at Dutch Harbor were estab- 

 lished as above described, would result in an annual saving to the 

 Government of more than $70,000 per annum. 



This saving on all items of Alaskan Government supplies annually 

 would not be less than $100,000 per annum over the present chaotic 

 system of purchase and distribution. 



We submit the foregoing statements of fact, with the several 

 exhibits of specific detail, as itemized above, to you, as our report 

 made in obedience to your letter of instruction, dated June 21 last. 

 Very respectfully, 



Henry W. Elliott. 

 A. F. Gallagher.
