BPR Investigates Land
Purchase by Engineers
WASHINGTON l/P> — The Bu
reau of Public Roads is investi
gating reports that three of its
engineers were involved in the
purchase of land adjacent to a
! ighvvav improvement project in
Alaska.
Frank Stanton, of the Bureau’s
Office of Audits and Investigations,
| said today information gathered in
I the probe is being studied in the
l Office of the Highway Adminis
trator.
Stanton said a 20-acre tract,
adjacent to the highway between
Sunrise and Hope on the Kenai
Peninsula, was bought last spring
by the Killewich Corp. of Alaska.
The investigation disclosed that
three engineers in the Bureau's
Juneau office were among the
corporation’s “about 10 or 12 mem
bers,” Stanton said.
He identified the three engineers
as Robert Kollewich, William
Stilley and Delmar Early.
The land, he said, was not need
ed for the improvement project,
now essentially completed.
Results of the study are being
reviewed and evaluated in the
Administration’s Office, Stanton
said.
The review is expected to take
two to three weeks, he added.
Richard Lee Sr. of Solomon left
for Seattle to spend the holidays
with his wife who is reported
much improved, and who has been
making her home with her daugh
ter, Mrs. Charles West.
McKinnon Asks Cities
To Adopt Manual on
Traffic Control Devices
JUNEAU — Incorporated
Alaskan cities are being asked by
Highways Commissioner D. A. Mc
Kinnon to adopt the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices
which the state has already done.
hi letters to the cities McKinnon
said “instant recognition and
understanding by the motorist is
facilitated through the uniform use
of traffic control devices and the
task of the police courts is less
encumbered.”
The federal-aid highways act and
t' e Bureau of Public Roads regu
lations require that all traffic con
trol devices on federal-aid high
ways conform to the uniform man
ual and cities are being encouraged
to follow suit.
McKinnon said “with the comple
tion of the new designing program
currently underway the State of
Alaska will probably be the first
state to comply with the 1961
manual on its primary highways
system.” He said “the unanimous
adoption bv the cities of Alaska
would certainly create another first
and emphasize our awareness of
the need to stem the flood of motor
vehicle traffic accidents to which
non-uniformity in traffic control
devices is no insignificant contri
butor.”
Mrs. Stanley Morgan was sched
uled to leave for Anchorage today
on a short business trip and will
return the first of the week.
