NIZINA ROAD
No Chance 1) ih( f \ r r er.
The following letter has been
received from Col. J. C. Gotwals
by Mr J. E. Barret*, president
of the Commercial Club, in re
ply to a request for an appro
priation for a road to the Nizina
mining district.
Valdez, Alaska.
May 24th 1920.
Dear Mr. Barrett,
I have just received your
letter of May 7th, describing
the need for a road from Me
Carthy to the Nizina mining dis
trict. The opening up of such
roads is certainly highly desir
able.
I shall make an effort to visit
this project this summer and
if the area which I am called
upon to cover makes this im
practicable some representative
of the Road Commission will be
sent. Your needs will have
my earnest considera ti on.
For the present working sea
son, due to deplorable lack of
funds, every available dollar has
already been alloted to very
pressing needs on old or long
projected roads. No funds
are available for other n» w
works this year. I regret
this even more than you poss
ibly can.
I shall include an allotment
for this road in my recommend
ations for appropriations during
the year 1921. I trust that
Congress will be liberal enough
following my recommendation
to enable this work to be pros
ecuted.
Very sincerely yours
JohnO. Gotwals
Lt. Col. Engrs
