LARGE NUMBER OF
LANDING FIELDS
BUILT BY BOARD
SOMMERS TO REQUEST USE OF
MORE ROAD BOARD MONEY FOR
AIRPLANE FIELDS AT LEGISLA
TIVE SESSION
By this fall the Territorial Road
Board will have constructed from
funds authorized to be diverted to
that use from the funds at its dispos
al, twenty-six airplane landing fields
in the Third and Fourth Divisions, ac
cording to a statement of R. J. Som
mers, engineering member of the
Board, who was in Fairbanks for sev
eral days on official business, and
who passed thru Seward on Wednes
day en route to bis Juneau office on
the Admiral Watson. All but four of
these fields are now completed.
The Territorial Board has at the
present time fields constructed at
Nome, Cheenik, Moses Point, Unal
akleet and Kewalik in the Second
Division, and at the following places
in the Fourth Division: Lake Min
chumina, McGrath, Tacotna, Ophir,
Flat, Ruby, American Creek, Manley
Hot Springs Brooks, Beaver, Chanda
lar, Wiseman, Rampart Fort Yukon,
Circle Hot Springs, Chena Hot
Springs, and Chicken Creek in the
Eagle district. The Board expects to
have fields completed this fall, Mr.
Sommers says, at Kantishna, Telida,
Nulato and Circle.
Mr. Sommers emphasized the fact
that the expenditures for aviation
fields in any division does not in
crease the road fund quota of that 'di
vision from the appropriations at the
service of the Board, but rather is
diverted from road construction work
