THREE HIGHWAYS
ARE SURVEYED
FOR INTERIOR
Plans for the extension of Alas
ka’s network of highways into
the Interior had progressed to the
paper planning stage, it was an
nounced last week by Frank
Nash, Fairbanks district engineer
for the Alaska Road Commission
Survey work on three proposed
highways was completed, or
nearly so, during the season just
completed, Mr. Nash said.
The planned highways would
connect Fairbanks and Chena Hot
Springs, Fairbanks and Nenana
(survey was more than half com
pleted) and Fortymile and Eagle.
Mr. Nash emphasized that there
still was no immediate construc
tion plan ahead for any of the
three highways. The road build
ing funds have not yet been au
thorized

Knik Residents
Ask Extension
Of Mail Route
A petition asking for the five
mile extension of a proposed Star
route bet wen Palmer and Wasil
la, to serve 35 families on Knik
road, has been received by Post
mistress Beatrice untley- The pe
tition requests that the return to
Palmer, by way of the Matanuska
Station, be routed down the Knik
road to the Fairview cut-off.
Mrs. Huntley has not yet sub
mitted her recommendation on
the extension. She said that a
study of the matter makes the re
quested x-oute along the Knik road
“entirely feasible.”
Much interest has been ex
pressed in the proposed routes.
Questioned concerning the num
ber of bids, which will be re
ceived until Jan. 5, 1950, Mrs.
Huntley said there must be “at
least two dozen bidders”, judging
from the requests for bid applica
tions.
The postmistress drew atten
tion to the fact that these bids
must not be directed to her at the
Palmer Post Office. All bids
must be mailed to the Assistant
Postmaster General, Surface Pos
tal Transport, Post Office Depart
ment, Washington, 25, D. C.
