ACTION ON ROAD
CONSTRUCTION.
The News is in receipt of n
letter from Wm, Sulzer giving an
outlineof his efforts in connect
i«in with Col. Steese to get a sub
stantial appropriation for road
construct in the McCarthy dist
rict and the large appropriation
secured is due iu agreat meas
nre to his efforts. He says:
As ;yon doubtless know, I
have large mining interests in
the White River Mining Precinct
and was the first man to do min
ing in that precinct. I have spent
a great deal of money on these
mines, and most of them are pat
ented. During the War I had to
close down, but 1 started up' last
year, and intend to uo more this
year, lo that end I know how ess
ential it. is to get tr insportation,
With ins view in mind i
took the inai ter up with Col.
Steese, and he promised such
help as be could give, depending,
ol comse, upon the appropriate
ion, So j made it my business
to go Lo Vvasiiington last winter
and used my influence with my
oiu colleagues to get Col. Steese
enough money to budd the bridge
across the Nizina River, anil the
road from McCarthy to Scolai
Pass. You know what was done
on this work last year, and I hope
the work will be completed this
vpfl.r
In the last Session of Cong
ress I succeeded in having Col.
Steese’s appropriation doubled,
and I have been doing my host
with my old colleagues in Wash
ington, and succeeded in having
the Budget Commission recoinm
end an appropriation lor Col.
Steese of $750,000, which is about
the amount of money he had
last year, and which is twice what
tiie Budget Commission ever rec
ommended, or Congress approp
riated, before this nme. 1 sue#
eeded in the House in having
this Appropriation increase1' to
$900,000, and I feel confident it
will go through the iiouse this
month. Then it is my purpose to
have the appropriation in the
Senate increased to one million,
or more, and out of this I fee^
confident Col. Steese can finish
the work herein mentioned this
yea r.
Sooner or later we will have
the railroad built into that conn
try, and 1 send you inclosed a
copy of my proposed Had r oad
Bill, which will be introduced in
tliis Session of Congress, and I
will do my best to baveCongress
P’l'S it.
