ROADS AND BRIDGES
It is a pleasure to announce
the good news that the Alaska
Road Commission will •stablish
a permanent camp here in the
near future,; that work on the
Nizina Bridge will be begun next
winter; and that a bridge is to
be built, across the Kennecott
River to help the ranchers be
tween here and Long Lake.
Mr. T, Huddlestone, engineer
for the Alaska Road Commiss
ion was a McCarthy visitor this
week; and made a brief trip to
the Nizina river to check up
some data, as it is the intention
of the Commission to start work
on the piers next winter.
The engineer also looked into
the proposed road round the
Pot Hole, but could not recom
mend work to be done there ow
ing to the fact that there could
not be permanent work where
the glacier is always moving,but
he strongly recommends that a
bridge be built over the Kenne
cott River below the present
Railway bridge, and that an ap
propriation of $2500. would be
passed for this project and the
same built next winter,
This bridge will not only be a
help to the ranchers, but to
all those who use the trail thru
the canyon in winter.
