A pie’' for mc;c Federal road
and highway funds in Southeast
Ala.'ka was made Friday night by
Aul; Bay Post No. 25. The Ameri
can Legion, in a resolution passed
at its regular monthly meeting.
The resolution, directed to Delegate
E. L. Bartlett and the Bureau of
Public Roads, pointed out that Al
askans. are at the mercy of the
Federal Government for the main
tenance and construction of high
ways.
The Legion declared that the
number and m it age c: roads in
EE Alaska are exceedingly small
for the area and population served
and it stated that there has been
cnly a little amount of reconstruc
tion of present roads and a negli
giole amount of new construction
in recent years. The Legion argued
that roads are necessary for the
development of Southeast Alaska.
The Legionnaires also discussed
ether problems pertinent to the
Auk Bay community including a
small boat’harbor, float extension
and a telephone system. Difficul
ties in ge«mg connections to Ju
neau were reported oil the proposed
telephone systems but efforts are
still continuing. No progress was
reported on construction oi a lar
ger lloat at Auk Bay and the pos
sibility of a small boat breakwater
there.

the Legion voted to invite all
women eligible lor membership in
the Ladies Auxiliary. The meeting
will be held in the form of a picnic
at the Auk Beach Recreation Area.
