RAILROAD WORK
AT NENANA AT
A STANDSTILL
The layoff In the forces at Nenana
employed by the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission, in accordance with
and as a result of the telegram re
ceived by Engineerin-in-Charge
Browne from Chairman Edes, goes
into effect immediately and involves
at least 150 men.
All construction work which had
been in progress is halted and the
men employed on these works have
been released. No new grading con
tracts will be awarded on the Nenana
Fairbanks line, and much of the work
planned by the officials prior to the
receipt of the telegram from Chair
man Edes, will necessarily have to be
held in abeyance pending further in
structions or the early passage of
the bill carrying the appropriation for
railroad purposes.
The money which had been alloted
for the continuation of the work on
this division of the road, from the
last appropriation, would have been
sufficient to permit of the work being
continued until the new appropriation
was passed, but Chairman Edes has
seen fit to withdraw more than fifty
per cent of the last appropriation al
loted to the Fairbanks division. The
money so diverted is to be applied
toward meeting some of the liabili
ties of the A. E. C. on the coast
division.
Immediately after Superintendent
Packer had been advised of the con
tents of the wire, and it had been in
timated that an alteration of the con
struction plan must necessarily be
made immediately, the track gang was
called in, some of the sections gangs
were cut down, the piledriver crews
on the Fairbanks line and the steam
shovel and Brown hoist crews were
laid off, and the roundhouse and ma
chine shop forces were reduced by
about twelve men. The piledrivei
working at the south end of the Fair
banks line and the gravel pit crews
have been laid off, and a reductior
made in the office and store forces.
It is difficult to say, with any de
gree of certainty, at the present time
just when a resumption of railroad
activities will become possible. All
arrangements have been completed
material and supplies distributed and
the machinery put in shape and gol
in readiness to commence aggressive
construction work all over the road
just as soon as the frost conditions
will permit; and the work will prob
ably be taken in hand as soon as the
appropriation becomes available.
