COMMISSION IS
SURE OF LARGE
SUM NEXT YEAR
ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION IS
SURE OF $1,250,000—WILL
COMPLETE SEASON
The Alaska Road Commission is
assured of a working fund of at
least $1,250,000 for next season and
possibly more, according to tele
graphic advices received at local
j headquarters from Col. James G.
Steese, president, who is now in
Washington, D. C. The House Mili
tary Affairs committee last week rec
ommended an appropriation of $900,
j 000 for the Commission, that sum
being $175,000 more than was con
tained in the annual estimates of
the Budget Bureau.
Col. Steese indicated that it was
possible the Senate would make
a further increase in the Commis
sion’s item in the War Department
Supply Bill. As it now stands the
appropriation is the largest ever
made in any single bill for the
Commission’s work in the Territory.
Work Last Season.
Slightly less than $1,000,000 was
expended by the Commission during
the past sason, according to a brief
summary of its activities issued to
day by Maj. L. E. Oliver, Engineer
Officer of the Board and Acting
President during Col. Steese’s ab
! sence. In addition to maintenance
work and repairs to existing roads,
; trails, bridges, etc., the organiza
tion built a total of 140 miles of
new roads, sled roads, winter and
summer trails in various parts of
the Territory.
In his statement of the season’s
operations, Major Oliver said:
“The Alaska Road Commission,
under the able direction of Colonel
Steese, who acted as both presi
dent and Engineer Officer, has just
completed the most successful year
in its history.
“About $975,000 was available for
the season’s work from all sources
including a federal appropriation of
$725,000, the largest yet made, $115,
000 from the Alaska Fund and $135,
000 appropriated by the Territory,
and expended under the supervision
of the Alaska Road Commission.
“These funds were applied to the
maintenance, improvement and ex
tension of the existing road and trail
system throughout the entire Ter
ritory. The following summary,
though not complete because of the
' lack of full reports from some of
■ the outlying districts, indicates the
extent of the work accomplished.
New Road constructed—54 miles.
Existing road maintained or im
proved—1223 miles.
New sled road constructed — 11
miles.
Existing sled road maintained or
improved—675 miles.
New winter trail constructed—60
miles.
Existing winter trail maintained
or improved—2158 miles.
New summer trail constructed—
15 miles.
Existing summer thail maintained
or improved—898 miles.
“The above includes only routes
upon which work was performed
during the past season. The Alaska
Road Commission maintains 4600
miles of additional roads and trails
upon which no work was performed
during the past season, either be
cause the routes were considered
to be in suitable condition for the
traffic requirements or because the
funds for needed improvements and
maintenance were not available.
Big Improvements Made.
“Extensive improvements were
made along the Richardson High
way from Fairbanks to Chitina and
Valdez. These included the con
struction of one miles of expensive
new road in Keystone Canyon where
the old road was subject to over
flow from Lowe River, and con
struction of 15 miles of new road
at other points where it seemed
best to abandon the old road, plac
ing heavy gravel surface on 10 ad
ditional miles, grading or regrading
71 miles, construction of 1418 lineal
feet of bridges, construction of 3S4
culverts and repair of 167 others.
“A stee; bridge of 18 f of span
has been purchased to replace the
jerry across the Salcha River 40
miles from Fairbanks. This bridge
is now at Fairbanks. It will **e
hauled out to the bridge site by
tractor drawn sleds during the win
ter and will be erected during the
month of March. Piers and ap
pi caches have already been prepar
ed.
‘ Continued improvements of this
important highway is picpesed.
Travel ovf.v it is nereasingly rapid.
Two rompanies now provide regular
automobile servic3 during the sum
mer r. c nths between Fairbarks, \ ai
de z and Chitina.
“The extension ef the Riclmdson
high ay from Fairbanks :o Circle,
on the Yukon rLver, was pushed
during the past season, «V2, miles
of new road being constructed and
cl • -.ring and grubbing extended 11
miles farther. 7’ is road is mw
completed for fifty miles trom
Fairbanks and extension of 65 miles
is now required to connect with
an existing road which runs from
Miller House to Circle. Comple
tion of this road will open for
development a rich mineral area
and will also make it possible for
tourists to make the very interest
ing trip from Skagway over the
White Pass Railway to Whitehorse,
thence down the Lewis and Yukon
Rivers past Dawson and Eagle to
Circle, thence by automobile to
Fairbanks and then by the Alaska
Railroad or by automobile over the
Richardson Highway to the coast.
Park Road Pushed.

terest in the construction of a road

the Alaska Road Commission for the
Natonal Park Service with funds
to be provided by the latter. The
road was extended 7.5 miles dur
ing the past season so that one can
now go into the park about 12
miles by automobile. This road com
pleted will make the park readily
accessible to tourists and should
greatly stimulate the rapidly grow
ing tourist traffic of Alaska.
“Another work of particular in
terest is the rehabilitation of the
Nome Sheldon tramway. This nar
row gauge railway was purchased
by the Territory in the fall of
1922 with the understanding that
the Alaska Road Commission would
rehabilitate and maintain it for pub
lic use as a tramway. The road
as opened for a distance of 35
miles in 1923 and work of the past
season makes it now available thru
out for use of gasoline speeders and
cars drawn by dog teams. For about
fifty miles the road may be used
by cars loaded to four or five tons
and drawn by gasoline locomotives
or by horses. It is proposed to con
tinue the improvement so that the
entire 87 miles of tramway will be
suitable for such traffic by the close
of another season.
Complete Bridge Soon.
“Work was continued on the con
struction of a bridge across the
Nizina River' near McCarthy. This
bridge will consist of two spans
of 180 feet each and 235 feet of
pile trestle. The piles have been
driven, the piers constructed, the
approaches prepared, and materials
assembled at McCarthy. They will
be freighted out ten miles over
the snow on sleds drawn by trac
tors during the month of Febru
ary and the bridge will be complet
ed during the spring.
“Another work of considerable
importance accomplished during the
past year was the permanent stak
ing of 442 miles of winter trail in
the lower Kuskokwim Valley. This
work was done by contract during
the past season and a representa
tive of the Alaska Road Commis
sion is now making a trip of in
spection and paying for the com
pleted work.”
