I Rock Slide Block Road;
Stover's Crew Cleans Ud
Approximately 3000 yards
of rock and dirt slide off Pil
lar Mountain slide area last
Saturday noon, Smokey
Stover, Alaska Road Com
mission Foreman here, has
estimated.
The slide was “one of th<
biggest,’ to happen in th<
area, he added, and hurried
100 feet of road to a depth of
almost 50 feet.
The slide will not delay
work on the road at that
point, Stover said, “oecause
we exoected all along that it
would come down. However
we had thought it would come
down three weeks ago when
we did heavy blasting. When
it didn't, we thought it
would stay for good.”'
Stover and his crew had the
road to the base open to
traffic again by 4:?0 Saturday
afternoon. However, since he
had been unable to tell the
navy just what time the road
would be passable, the base
had planned to send boats to
the city dock for naval station
residents stranded in town do
ing their Saturday shopping.
Stover and his crew were
working in the area when the
slide came, and when the first
bits of rock came down the
mountain, they moved them
selves and equipment out of
danger.
‘‘You can always tell when
a slide is coming,” Stover
said, in warning motorists who
travel the road. ‘‘There is al
ways a small slide before a big
one. If rocks start to come
down, ahead of the car, stop
where you are or keep going
straight ahead and get out of
the area. Remember that a
big slide never comes without
a warning, a smaller one.”
Since Saturday’s slide, there
has been much comment that
a shed is the ‘‘only solution”
to the problem, Stover said.
“It is a solution”, he added,
“but in order to put ashed
over the road, we would stil!
have to do every bit of w'hal
we are doing now. This is ^
step toward a shed, and if w<
get one there, none of this
work will be wasted.”
