Mayors Endorse
Highwiiy Program
Seven mayors of Southeast |
Alaska communities have endors- |
ed an Alaska Development Board
request that at least $10,000,000
annually be expended by the fed
eral government for highway con
struction and maintenance within
! the national forest areas of Alaska. |
The mayors took their action at j
I their recent conference at Sitka in
the form of a letter to secretary of
! agriculture Charles F. Brannan,
; copies of which have been receiv
, ed by Alaska officials whose agen
i eies are involved in road construc
tion matters.
Taking note of a reply made to
j the original development board
I proposal by the forest service in
; Washington, the mayors’ letter
l state “We would differ emphati
cally with the point it seeks to
make that Southeast Alaska does
i not need roads because it has wa
•
ter. People cannot live on water;
they need roads, even when it is
! their fate to live within national
forests. In Southeast Alaska they
j have no choice in the matter; it is
; all national forests. We have ob
served how settlement and econo
mic development have followed
in the very few places in which
roads have been built in this part
of Alaska.”
The mayors signing the Jetter to
Secretary Brannan were Waino
Hendrickson of Juneau, R. E. El
lis of Ketchikan, William Char
teris of Sitka, Carl Vevelstad of
| Petersburg, George Gunderson of
Wrangell, Mike Pusich of Douglas
and Harry Douglas of Hoonah.
