Hiway Resolutions
Are Considered
‘‘B&th the pioneer roads into
undeveloped areas and roads
through Canadian territory are
sufficiently different from our
federal-aid highways to justify
special consideration and special
funding,” Under Secretary of
Commerce Clarence D. Martin,
Jr., declared this week in testify
ing on Senate ami House resolu
tions to provide survey funds to
determine Alaska's toad needs.
Tire resolutions, submitted last
year to Congress by the Com
merce Department and intro
duced by Senator Ui jcning and
Repre&witative Riveis, were con
sidered by Senate and House Pub
lic Works surbeoiTimftees, all wit
nesses Urging favorable consider
ation of the proposal.
Those witnesses, in addition to
Secretary Martin and the Alaska f
congressional delegation, included
Secretary of State Hugh J. Wade,
speaking for Govfemor Egan; and -
Hk-hard A. Downing, Alaska’s
Commissioner of Public Works. «
The legislation provides an au
thor! 7, at Ion of $KO0,OOO to the Hu- -
reau of Public Roads which,
through cooperation with the
state, would undertake engineer- ♦
ihg studies and estimates sad
planning surveys. The Secretary
of Commence bv Mav IS. ISKIJ.
would be required to submit a
report to the Congress to include:
Cl) An analysis of the adequacy
of the federal-aid highway pro
gram to provide for a satisfac
tory program in both the populat
ed and the undeveloped areas in
Alaska; (2) specific recommenda
tions as to the construction of
roads through undeveloped areas
of Alaska and their connection
with roads in Canada; and (3) a
feasible program for carrying out
such specific recommend at ions,
including cost estimates, recom
mendations as to the share of cost
responsibilities, and other perti- '
nent matter,
“The resolution before you,”
Secretary Martin advised d>oth
subcommittees, “provides a sig
nificant beginning for the devel
opment of Alaska and better con
nections between the state and
the other states. The Department
of Commerce urges its enact
ment, so that great areas of
Alaska will obtain the benefits of
highways on a par with other
states.”
