KA ENGINEER MAKING TOUR
ABOUT THE DISTRICT
WILLIAMS’ FIRST TRIP NORTH
Successor of Cheatham Is from Utah
—Been with Bureau for
Many Years.
On a trip about the Territory in
specting the road projects under way
by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads,
J. A. Elliott of Portland, Ore., as
sistant district engineer for the bu
reau, arrived in Seward a few da;, s
ago, accompanied by Mrs. Elliott and
by M. D. Williams, assistant district
engineer with headquarteis at Ju
neau. The engineers and J. B. Re
her, engineer in charge of this dis
trict’s road activities for the bu
reau, departed yesterday morning on
a trip of inspection over ttie local
projects, namely, Moose Pass, Sun
rise and Girdwood. Upon their re
turn next Saturday, Mr. Elliott leaves
direct for Seattle en route to the
Portland office.
Projects under way in Southeast
ern Alaska have already been inspect
ed, Mr. Elliott said, and the inspec
tion in this locality will complete
his wrork in the Territory this sea
son. Speaking of progress being
made by the bureau, Mr. Elliot: said
the work looks better each succeed
ing year, that the department is con
stantly endeavoring to raise its stan
dards and that the first road work
done is always more or less develop
ment -work. In the surfacing and
maintenance of the roads, is where
the higher standard of work is pro
moted.
Two bids have jus; been opened
by Mr. Williams for contracts in
projects to be carried out during the
next fiscal year in which is involved
the expenditure of approximately
$100,000. One of these is in the
Seward area and the other at
Wrangell.
For reconstruction of 2.7 miles
on the Seward-Kenai Lake road on
the river section, only one bid was
received, Seims and Carlson bidding
$65,351.50. This bid has been ap
proved and its acceptance recom
mended to the Portland and Wash
ington offices.
For constructing the cemetery
Shoemaker Bay section of Wrangell
Highway, two bids were received.
Seims & Corlson bid $33,285 and
W. H. Barrington, of Wrangell,
$33,679.05. Both bids were for
warded by telegraph and the accept
ance of the lower bid offer recom
mended by Mr. Williams.
- It is expected that the bids recom
mended will be accepted and that
work on both projects will be under
way by July 15.
Work on’ the Cordova-Eyak Lake
extension, for which bids were op
ened and award made several days
ago, has been launched, Mr. Will
iams said. The successful bidder
was the Alaska Transportation Co.
Bids for the construction of the
Sunrise road, of approximately eight
miles, in section three, will be open
ed July 22, this month. In this con
nection Iver Anderson, in charge of
road construction in Alaska for the
Seims & Carlson company is accom
panying the officials on their trip
to Sunrise and will make a survey
of the project with the view of sub
mitting a bid.
Enigneer Williams is making his
first tirp to this district, more in
the sense of getting the topography
of the region fixed in his mind and
to note the progress made to date.
Mr. Williams is from Ogden, Utah,
where he has been associated with
the Bureau’s work for a number of
years. He relieved C. W. Cheatham,
former assistant engineer for Alas
ka, at Juneau, May 5, Mr. Cheat
ham being transferred to the Port
land office. Upon receiving instruc
tions to prepare taking over a road
building program in the Hawaiian is
lands, which was not to his liking.
Mr. Cheatham decided to resign from
the service, which he did a short
time ago. Mr. and Mrs. Cheatham
are now making their home in Seat
tle.
