HATCHERY SITE AT
EYAK BE SURVEYED
Mayor A. J. Adams today received a
wire from Governor Riggs notifying
him the Territorial Fish Commission
of which he is a member, had held a
meettng at Juneau and decided not
to expend much money this year. An
experimental station will be installed
at Juneau; also that an appropriation
of $S,000 had been made for an inves
tigation of hatchery sites and of this
amount $7,000 is to be extended under
the direction of Mr. Adams and Hugh
Dougherty, of Seward. As Eyak lake
offers the most available site, and
one which has been recommended by
the bureau of fisheries the probabili
ties are that most of the $7,000 will
be expended in making surveys at the
lake.
LARGE SUM TO
BE SPENT ON
Cm TRAIL
“The Alaska Road Commission will
expend $180,000 on the Chitina-Fair
banks trail during the present sea
son,” acording to C. J. Morrison, the
engineer in charge of this work who is
now on a tour of inspection of the gov
ernment trail.
All of the work will be directed from
the Chitina end. Ten crews have been
organized for the work and will be as
signed to certain sections. One of
these crews will work between Fair
banks and Richardson and will be
under the control of John Paulson. The
tractor on that end will also be under
Mr. Paulson’s direction, but will do
most of its work between Fairbanks
and Richardson.
Beyond McCarty and to Beal's Cache
the commission will do some new con
struction work putting the road in as
good shape as possible. The bad places
between Rapids and Yosts will be
gravelled this summer and the trail
generally improved.
Between Meirs Roadhouse and Sour
dough there is a stretch of road which
during wet spells and the spring thaw,
gets so bad as to be almost impassable.
On this stretch of trail a crew of about
six commission trucks will operate and
put it in shape for gravelling which
will be done this season. Mr. Morri
son stated that the commission intends
to put this piece of road in such con
dition that it will be passable at all
seasons.
Between Gulkana and Willow creek
there will be some grading done
which will improve the road to a con
siderable degree. No new work will
be attempted on the Chitina end of
the trail except the rebuilding of cul
verts. General maintenance work will
be kept up on this section. On the
section from Willow creek to Valdez
there is no new construction work
contemplated but the maintenance op
erations will continue.
