CLYDE KING ANNOUNCES THaT FARM
ROADS WILL BE IMPROVED
The Alaska RoacI Commission will
start a program as soon as possible
to widen and clear the narrow roads
that ctre so dangerous and easily
blocked by snow. Mr. King will
try to see each landowner as soon
as possible in order to explain
the proposed improvements and to
get permission to start operations
on the individual’s land. It is
. almost impossible to keep the will
ows down beyond the ditch by the
■ side of the road so the grade will
be widened to make it possible to
run the wrader over the entire
highway. This is a very ^reatly
needed improvement and it will be
expedited if the prople cooperate
with the Road Commission.
