Hope Brightens For $35,000 Roadway
On Southerly Shore Of Island Lake
Hopes for construction of an
Island Lake Spur Road brightened
this week with the receipt of a
letter by Rep. Gilbert A. Jarvela
from the Department of Highways
in Anchorage.
Writer of the letter was Lee D.
Hubbard, secondary roads engi
neer. who said that the project was
reviewed on the ground the latter
part of August by Alex Kamkoff,
Paul Stover and John Larsen. Huo
bard’s letter said, “The amount
available for the work is insuffi
cient to make a very good start on
the project, but that he was re
questing the headquarters office
to take up the matter with Com
missioner Holdsworth with the
hope of securing enough funds to
build the road.”
“It is our feeling,” Hubbard
w'rote, “that the road should be
built to standards that would at
least be useful as the existing road
serving the southerly shore of the
lake.”
COST SET AT $350,000
“This type of construction con
templates using fill material from
the beach or other nearby borrow
sites. Under these circumstances
the project would cost a minimum
of $35,000,” he said.
“Proposed new' alignment of the
Otmeloi Point road comes within
800 feet of the area that needs to
be served on the shore of Island
Lake.” he continued, “and it is not
known, however, how soon this
project will be placed under con
struction and in the meantime we
both know that this homesite area
needs highway service as soon as
possible.”
Rep. Jarvela later contacted
Commissioner Holdsworth explain
ing the situation and was assured
that the monies in the amount of
$35,000 will be forthcoming based
on Hubbard’s recommendation that
the proposed Otmeloi Point Road
would only partially answer the
need for service to the north shore
of Island Lake and to build the
Island Lake access road as orig
inally contemplated.”

Easy To Forge
Or Raise Check
Speaker Says
Check losses in the Anchorage
area have increased 300 per cent
in recent months, Bob Tuer, repre
sentative of the Paymaster Check
Writer, told Kodiak Rotarians,
Tuesday, as he explained how knit
ting needles could be used in ex
tracting money from an envelope
without breaking the seal and vari
ous ruses of forgers and check
kiters.
In various demonstration, Tuer
showed how easy it was to raise the
amount of a check with pen strokes
and how to forge a signature with
the use of simple chemicals and
scotch tape.
Tuer said that similar demon
strations have appeared on tele
vision stations and national peri
odicals which youngsters have ac
cess to.
