ANNUAL SAVING
OF $2,000,000 IS
MADE BY ROADS
DATA GATHERED BY A. R. C.
SHOWS HUGE SAVINGS TO
ALASKANS BY WORK.
ENORMOUS TRAF FI C
Report Reveals Increased Tourist
Travel During the 1924
Season.
Data collected by the Alaska Road
Commission indicates that in excess
of $2,000,000 is saved annually by
Alaskans on transportation of over
land freight, due entirely to the con
struction of road by the Commis
sion, according to a statement issued
from local headquarters, says the Ju
neau Empire of recent date. In addi
tion these roads and trails have open
ed to development areas in all sec
tions of the Territory.
It is extremely doubtful if the vol
ume of freight moved annually would
have been transported without the
roads, it was pointed out, and the
indirect loss which would thus have
been occasioned by the restriction
of output and development of the
roads if such roads were non-exist
ent cannot be estimated.
Improved roads, said the state
ment, has brought about better and
more economical means of transpor
tation. The use of automobiles w'as
made practicable and it is increas
ing rapidity. At the present time
approximately 90 per cent of the
traffic on the main wagon roads is
handled by motor, which has great
ly increased the cost of road main
tenance. The use of tractors for
drawing freight, particularly on sled
roads of the Interior, is one of the
valuable new develomnents.
Last Year’s Work.
The work of the Commission dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30
last, it was said, was largely direct
ed to extending the general rehabili
tation begun in 1920 to trails and
roads in remote regions of the Ter
ritory. This gradual rehabilitation,
starting on the more important pro
jects, has now reached trails extend
ing to all inhabited parts of Alaska.
The actual work performed last
year was summarized as follows:
New construction 46% miles wa
gon road; 45 miles sled road; 188
miles trail; and 1040 linear feet of
bridges of over 60-foot span. Im
provement 22 miles wagon road re
constructed; 63 miles wagon road
graveled; 45 miles Nome-Sheldon
Tramway opened for traffic; 3 miles
Tolovana Tram reconstructed and
innumerable small bridges and cul
verts rebuilt; Maintenance, 982%
miles wagon road; 52 miles tram
way; 702% miles sled road; 4168
miles permanent trail; and 472 miles
temporary flagged trail. Total for
all classes of work, 6789 miles con
sisting of 1113% miles of wagon road,
100 miles of tramway, 747% miles
I of sled road, 4356 miles of perma
nent trail, and 472 miles of tempor

ary flagged trail.
The more important road upon
which new construction was per
formed were the Haines-Pleasant
Camp, McCarthy-Ninziza, Chatanika
Circle, Mt. McKinley, National Park,
Talkeetna-Cache Creek, Long-Poor
man and Ophir-Tokotna. The exten
sive bridge program inaugurated the
previous year was continued. The
more important structures upon which
the new construction or extensive re
pairs were performed included bridges
across Big Boulder above Haines, Ni
zina, Tazlina, and Gulkana rivers,
Gun Creek in Isabella Pass, Millers at
Mile 223, Chena Slough, Bull River,
and Iron and Charette creeks on the
Nome-Shelton Tramway.
The important Richardson Highway
which was reopened in 1921, was main
tained open during the entire season.
There was an increased tourist travel
during the 1924 season. Traffic re
ports show the following movement
over the Richardson Highway during
the calendar year 1924; 2803 persons,
1007 motor driven vehicles, 33 wagons,
60 double enders, 20 pack horses and
800 tons of freight. During the 1925
season tourist travel had already be
gun in June, nearly a month earlier
than had been possible heretofore.
Construction work progressed unu
sually well during the 1924 season on
account of the very dry weather.
The total expenditures during the
fiscal year amounted to 11,138,347.64,
of which $728,040.04 was for construc
tion and $410,307.60 was for mainte
nance.
Condition of Prospects
The work of maintenance and reha
bilitation has been pushed and the
roads and trails under jurisdiction of
the Board are in better shape than be
fore. The total mileage of roads and
trails constructed or maintained by
the Board aggregate 9763 miles, con
sisting of 1472 miles of wagon roads,
1086 miles of sled road, 6465 miles of
permanent trail and 712 miles of tem
porary flagged trail. Work was per
formed upon 6789 miles of the system
during the fiscal year.
The 410-mile Valdez-Chitina-Fair
banks road received splendid atten
tion. Two more seasons should see
this important overland route com
pleted to a uniform standard and giv
en a gravel surface throughout. Over
100 miles of the 160 miles extension
from Fairbanks to Circle are now pas
sable for wagons and the entire route
is utilized for winter travel by dou
ble bobsled.
The total expenditures to the end
of the fiscal year June 30, 1925, were
$8,911,714.97 not including outstand
ing liabilities or contributed funds,
of which $5,196,097.56 was expended
for new construction and $3,715,617.41
for maintenance.
Plans for Future.
The 10-year program adopted by the
Commission and formally approved,
proposed the appropriation of $1,400,
! 000 for the prosecution of the work
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1926. Only §900,000 was provided by
the Act of February 12, 1925. These
funds will be expended on rehabilita
| tion of the existing system. Unless
much greater annual appropriations
are made little can be done to meet
the pressing need for iinpi'ovements
and extensions of the system, espe
cially in providing the urgently need
ed highway and trail feeders to the
Government Railroad now completed.
For the fiscal year 1925 Congress has
provided for a maintenance and oper
ations deficit on the railroad of $1,
605,000.
The annual maintenance of the road
and trail system after completion, as
nearly as can be estimated at this
time, will cost about §550,000.
An appropriation in accordance with
the 1924 program of §1,750,000 can be
profitably expended on the work dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30,
1927.
Work Is Endorsed.
At the recent session of the Legis
lature a memorial was unanimously
passed indorsing the work done by
the Commission and is evidence of
the harmony existing between it and
the Territorial government. The me
morial cited the years of service ren
dered by the Commission under the
War Department and bore testimony
as to the value of that service.
In conclusion, the Legislature asked
that the Commission be permitted to
continue its work, its powers broad
ened and its road and trail construc
tion speeded up. It also requested
that the proposal made in the gov
ernmental reorganization program
for abolishing the Commission be
stricken from the bill embodying that
program or any similar new legisla
tion.
