ALASKA ROAD FUNDS.
Through the efforts of. Major W
H. Waugh, of the Alaska Road com
missioir. Delegate George B. Grigsbj
and other friends of Alaska, ar
iem of $322,200 for federal roai
work in the Territory has been in
serted in congressional appropria
tion bills, according to the Juneai
Empire.
After June 30, Major Waugh will
be relieved by Lieut.-Col. Gotwals
at ihe present time district engineer
for New York, but the major will
be retained as a consulting engineer
officer of the commission and also of
the department of agriculture.
Major Waugh, who recently re
turned to Juneau from a trip to
Washington, gave the following
statement for publication:
“Finding that the Alaska road
item was cut out, Delegate Grigsby
and 1 went to Secretary of War
Baker. He did not seem very en
thusiastic and said the people of
Alaska appeared to prefer to han
dle the roads themselves. We in
formed him how necessary it was
for the Government to continue the
work it had started in die Terri
tory, and that we did not have suf
ficient funds, and that the Terri
tory, instead of objecting to Hie
Federal work, had through its lcgis
lature passed a bill giving terri
torial funds to the Alaska Road com
mission. We said while the law was
not in effect soon enough to make
much of a showing: last year, we ex
pected to. have all of the projects
agreed upon so that work could he
started this year as soon as the
weather would permit.
“The secretary then referred us
to the genera! staff, and the final
result was that our estimate of
$322,200 was approved. While this
is much below the amount required,
and $100,000 less than approved by
the chief of engineers, we shall he
able to keep up maintenance, which
was impossible last year, and do
some new improvement, work with
other funds which will he available.
In fact, we expect to undertake sev
eral new projects.
“The appropriation is now in the
hands of the military committee. It
is now up to the people of Alaska
to make every effort to see that
\ the members of the military commit
tees of thq, house and the senate
make no further cut in the appro
priation. Alaskans should get busy
through their friends in Congress.
“When I reached Washington, 1
called on Chairman Kahn to find
out when the hearings on our bill
were likely to come up. He advised
me that present indications were
that they would hold no hearings
on appropriation items until after
hearings were finished on the mili
tary reorganization bill. I asked if
it would be possible to arrange a
special hearing on the Alaska item,
as it was in no way dependent on
the reorganization bill, and he said
he could make such an arrangement,
but thought it much better to take
up the matter informally with the
different members of the military
committee, and to write out a full
statement, which he would have
printed in the records.
“Mr. Kahn seemed very much in
terested in Alaska in general, and
I expressed a willingness to do every
thing that he could to aid in the
development of the Territory. In
j accordance with his suggestion, II
i spent all of my available time in ;
! presenting the case of the Alaska
j Road commission to the different
| congress. If they act as favorably
j as they talked, we shall get the full
I amount. I
I “Congressman Miller of Washing-1
ton state, who has been in Alaska, I
i
went out of his way to aid me and '
j showed that he is a good friend of |
Alaska and will do everything in
his power for the bill.
“The tendency of all committees
in Congress is to reduce any item as 1
much as possible. Before going to j
Washington, I obtained letters of :
introduction to congressmen and sen-j
ators, from Maurice Leehe.v. the Se
attle Chamber of Commerce, and all!
[the friends I could think of. Dele-j
I gate Grigsby did everything in his
power to help me along and sail;
that he would look after the matter'
j personally when the item came be- !
fore the committee. Senator Poin-!
idexter told me that he would see
;that any statement to the house
committee would be printed anil
■presented. We are fortunate to 1
have Col. Pillsbury, engineer of the !
commission, who is in Washington, ‘
land he will appear before the «om
mittees at the proper time.
“After June 30 it is planned that
I shall be relieved as president of
the Alaska Road commission. About
the middle of April or the first of
May, Lieut.-Col. Gotwals, who was
i
.ordered to Washington from New
York for a conference, will take
icharge. He impressed me as being
.an unusually competent man, who
will be greatly interested in the
work, and I am sure he will do ev
erything in his power to advance
the interests of the Territory. He
does not propose to make any chang
es. If no provision is made mean
time for a temporary office, I shall
be retained as consulting engineer
on the board.”
