CHAIRMAN EDES
INSPECTS WORK
ON NEW D LINE
Mr. Edei I* Satisfied With Progreat
Made od the New Location
of Railroad.
Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan
Engineering ocmmission with F. D.
Browne, engineer in charge, returned
to town yesterday evening from a
tour of inspection of the works on
the new D line and told a repre
sentative of the News that he was
entirely satisfied with the location
and the progress of the work.
The new D line now etxends from
the switch to the bank of Fish
creek, a distance of nearly three
miles. It is expected that the piles
to support the bridge across this
stream will be driven and ready
for capping in a day or two, when
the laying of steel beyond Fish
creek will be taken in hand.
Mr. Edes is now busy going over
the railroad situation with Mr.
Browne. He expects to leave for
Anchorage via Fairbanks in a day
or two.
In an interview accorded the
News representative yesterday, Mr.
Edes said, with reference to the
preventing of bank erosion along
the waterfront and the protection
of property owners in this neigh
borhood, that he has taken up the
matter with Mr. Browne, and that
the latter will undertake the neces
sary protective measures just as
soon as a piledriver is available for
the purpose. All of the piledrivers
owned by the A. E. C. are busily
engaged on the line at the present
time, but it is thought that the ser
vices of a piledriver could be re
quisitioned in the near future, and
the work of driving the p:Ies along
the waterfront will be taken in han*
in good time.
With regard to work in this divi
sion, Mr. Edes stated that all avail
able men will be put to work on the
main line and the construction of
the railroad to the coal fields of
Lignite will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. If there is sufficient
labor, after all the different branch
es of construction work on the main
line have been fully manned, for
an appreciable amount of good to
be done on the Fairbanks line, then
some work will be undertaken north
of Nenana this season. Any action
taken by the Alaskan Engineering
commission on the Fairbanks line
will be dictated largely by the labor
situation. There is a shortage of
labor at the present time.
Regarding the building of bunk
ers and other facilities for the hand
ling of coal and loading into barges
at the waterfront, Mr. Edes thought
it too early at the present time to
discuss this matter- He said that
the A. E. C. may do a little develop
ment work and mine for their own
use, but that private enterprise will
be trusted to do the real exploiting
of this industry and the working of
it on a large scale and every aid
and encouragement can be expected
from the A. E. C. in helping the
development of this industry.
