Sharp Asks Funds
For Alaska Roads
Robert E. Sharp, Deputy j
Commissioner of the Depart-!
ment of Highways, has reiter-1
ated a request made last spring I
for inclusion of Alaska in an I
allocation of funds for roads on i
Indian reservations.
Sharp made his request to
John A. Carver, Jr., Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, after
word was received here that j
Congress had increased the ap
portionment of these funds for
fiscal 1964.
Specifically, he requested
that $750,000 be made available
for improvement of a 14-mile
road from the village of Met
lakatla on the Annette Island
Indian Reservation to the air
port, a road of vital importance
to the residents of the commun
ity.
Allocation of Indian Reserva
tion funds, provided in the
Federal-aid Highway Act of
1962, will be made in the near
future. Sharp feels Alaska
should be included in this allo
cation.
Few men are reformed by
marriage, but many are well
regulated.
