Seabee Volunteer
Efforts Open 15
Miles Of Road
Thanks to an even dozen “Sea
bees” on the naval station, another
15 miles of heretofore impassable
road has been added to the meager
mileage of roadway existing on
Kodiak Island.
You can now drive all the way
to Saltery Cove and many people
have already done sd in fact.
Due to Volunteer labor offered
by willing “Seabees” attached to
either the NavSta P. W. Dept, or
NavCommSta P. W. the Saltery
Cove road can easily be travelled
by any four-wheel drive vehicles,
and with caution, by most other ve
hicles. Before the eager beaver
seabees got to work on the road,
only horses and bulldozers could
traverse it.
The 12 men, working on their
own time as a means to make a
i— _
practical application of their tech
nical training, used two weekends
to put the road into shape. They
installed two 4-ft. culverts, repair
ed a bridge, graded and ditched
from the corral to the ranch (about
9 miles) took about 6 feet off one
hill and hauled several hundred
yards of gravel to areas needing it.
The following individuals did
the work which deserves plaudits
from the people of this area:
Victor LaPorte, EOC; Rubin
Lambert, EON2; E. Shirley, ION2
M. C. Bort, CMHCP; G. D. Estes,
r
CP; D. McMlllin, CN; R. M. O’Leaiy
EOHCN; D. E. Sumpter, CN; M. L.
Nelson, EOH3; J. R. Phillips, BUL
3; J. L. Angelo, CEPCN, and D. E.
Troupe, SH3 (who also works for
the Navy Exchange.)
Smokey Stover advised that the
state highway division has jurisdic
tion only over the first 5% miles
of road off the Chiniak road and
commended the seabees for their
efforts in making the road useable
beyond that point.
