ROAD WORK MAY I
BE TAKEN OVER]'
BY NEW BUREAU.
I
----
According to the statement credit
representative of the Alaska Road
ed to Captain John Zug, Interior
commission, there is a possibility that
the war department will be relieved ,
of the responsibility of directing the
road work in Alaska. He says there
is a movement now on foot to turn
the road work over to some organiz
ation other than the Alaska Road
Commission, and he believes a civil
ian commission will be named to look
after the work if it is taken away
from the war department.
Zug left for Juneau last week and
is not sure that he will return to
Fairbanks. He expects the change to
be made before the work is started 1
next spring, in which event there
probably will be a new man on the
job in Interior Alaska.
Captain Zug has behn commission
ed with the Alaska Road Commission
a long time, having had charge of
the work in the Fourth division in (
the early days. He was also sta
tioned in one of the coast districts
for several, years, during the time
that R. J. Sommers was in charge at
Fairbanks.
Captain Zug will remain at the
headquarters office of the commis- 4
sion at Juneau until the future of the
Alaska Road Commission has been
definitely determined upon.
AMERICANS FIRST
IN RAILWAY WORK
In the reduction of railway forces
along the line south of Nenana, to
conform to winter working condi- ,
tions, deserved recognition is being
given to American citizenship, by
the retention of Americans on the
payroll, wherever possible, in prefer
ence to those who have failed to
avail themselves of the opportunity
to become citizens.
The following circular, issued over
the signature of Superintendent of
Construction W. L. Packer, and ad
dressed to “all foremen of construc
, tion from Nenana south to the end
of steel,’’ was pouted aloiVg the 'line i
last week :
"In reducing our forces, men who
have taken out their first papers
and have had time to take out
their second papers, and have not
done so, will be considered the same 4
as aliens.”
