NEW POLICY SET ON
HIGHWAY PROJECTS
THROUGH CITIES
The Alaska Highway and Pub
lic Works Board at its meeting
last week in Juneau adopted a
policy on the participation of
municipalities in right of way ac
quisition and the cost of construc
tion of highway projects within
municipal boundaries. This pro
blem has been the subject of con
siderable discussion and contro
versy during the past few
months. The following motions
were adopted to clarify the situa
tion :
“Be it resolved that it is the
policy of the Board that Terri
torial or Federal aid funds shall
mol be programmed for construc
tion of projects in municipalities
-or public utility districts contig
uous thereto, unless the munici
pality or the public utility dis
trict shall have agreed to bear
10 percent of the total cost there
of. Total costs are to include right
of way acquisition, adjustment of
those utilities for which the mun
icipality or public utility district
as legally responsible, and other
dems incidental to construction."
"It is the policy of this Board
that a Public Utility District •im
mediately contiguous to a mH»
sdpality of 5,000 or more popu
lation, with taxing and bonding
powers, be treated the same as
an urban municipality. A PUD
with small population as to area
and not contiguous to an urbarl
city will be considered as a rural
-area.”
Projects on which agreements
have already been made by *the
Bureau of Public Roads will not
■ toe affected by the new policies.
The Board covered a large vol
ume of business during the three
and a half day meeting, details
of which will be made public
next week.

The Valley Presbyterian Hos

In October of last year the hos
