OUR BRIDGE
The Murray measure, approp
riating 825.000 for a bridge over
the Nizina river, to be built nn
the di rection of the Alaska Road
Commision, who will furnish
the balance of the funds neces
sary for construction was pas
sed.
This is by far the best news
as far as trails and bridges are
concerned that we have hnd in
this section for several years.
Up to now there have been on
ly promises and plans made,
but the measure has been plac
ed on the statutes, we c m expect
to see a substantial bridge
built
Not that the twenty five thous- i
and dollars will build the biidgej
but the fact that our represent
ative was able to have the bill
passed created such a favorable!
impression with the Alaska
Road Commission, that the
funds necessary to complete
this important structure will
now be forthcoming fi om that
department. ,
It certainly makes us feel
good to know that at l ist travel
to the outlying undeveloped
areos will be made possible.
| It will mean, it rail road rates
are not increase*.!, an influx of
[prospectors and people of small
amounts of capit I, which after
all aie th« pen >l<» th it we
j need for developtn »nt. The big
mo-iCy interests will always buy
a prospect if a (rood showing is
made and transportation rates
are within reason.
In p resen ting the measure
for the appropriation, Mr. Mur
ray was in ^ position to speak j
feelingly on the subject himself,
for in order to go to hi» proper
ties on Young creek, he has
crossed the rivtr at all its
stages.
