MUNtY MAY Bt
AVAILABLE FOR
RAILROAD SOON
It is generally believed in Com- j
mission circles that considerable;
money for the liquidation of obliga- j
tions incurred during the present j
season will be available for the use i
of the Commission at an early date,'
as a result of the passage of the j
; sundry civil bill carrying an appro- j
priation of slightly more than two j
million dollars for railroad purposes j
j in Alaska. How much of the money )
can be obtained for this division is J
, not known here at present, nor is it j
known exactly when the money will ]
become available; but the fact that j
the bill has been finally approved |
I by Congress and is now awaiting'
the signature of the President en
courages the belief that the depleted
Commission treasury will be replen
ished within a very short time.
There is a possibility that the bill
will be signed by President Wilson
tonight".
The usual procedure is for the
engineer in charge to make a re
quest for money, when funds are
needed, but it is not certain just
what action will be taken in the
present case, much depending upon
advices received from Washington
during the next few days.
Nothing is known locally regard
ing the appropriation contained in
the deficiency bill, mention of which
was made in press dispatches re
ceived from the national capital
some time ago. and to which refer
ence was made by Chairman Edes
as having been approved by Con
gress. It is presumed, however, that
this bill, with an appropriation of
nearly two million for the Alaska
railroad, is also awaiting the signa
ture of the President and will be
come available at an early date.
The money provided in both the=e
bills represents the total remainder
of the thirty-five million dollars orig
• inally provided for by the Alaska
railroad act, beyond which the lower
house of Congress has refused to go.
apparently, until steps have been
taken to remove the thirty-five mill
ion dollar limit, as suggested by
Wickersham when last he represent
ed Alaska at Washington.
>
Those who have watched tne prog
ress of railroad legislation argit
that Congress will grant funds suf
ficient to complete the raiiroaa when
proper action .is taken to secure
the money. The fact that some
money has been appropriated dur
ing the present session, it is pointed
out, is proof that the lawmakers
are friendly to the project, for.
without funds to complete the road
at an early date, the bulk of the
money appropriated thus far will
be wasted.
