HELP THE TRAVELLERS
Before lie Territorial Fund
sack is empty, and that is like
ly to he soon, the people of this
section cf the countr.v would
i like to s<?e some provision made
to subsidize a ferry over the
I
Aizma River.
Tins was done in other parts
of Alaska beloie bridges were
built. On the Fairbanks and
Eagle trails there were numbers
of ferries maintained b> the
I Government in earlier days,and
in many places, steel cables A
j funds for the maintenance of
terries were furnished for the
! convenience of travellers,
j
As there is not enough income
from the Nizina ferry to justify
a man staying all summer, and
| nnt'l the bridge is built a ferry
is a necessity, it seems as tho
we might try to tap the Territ
iorial fund. We do know
there is great truth in ll;t old
saw, “nothing venture, nothing
win.”
