Any help that you can give
us to get this particular piece
of bad road maintained to a
minimum standard, at least,
will be appreciated.
Kenai Chamber of Commerce
Kenai^ Alaska
Attention: President
Dear Sir:
In regard to tourist and tour
ism, I would like to report on a
condition that is robbing the
Kenai Peninsula of many thou
sands of dollars each day and is
doing untold harm to the pe
ninsula for months and perhaps
years to come.
I would like to draw your at
tention to the condition of the
Sterling Highway between Ni
nilchik and Clam Gulch. There
are several mud holes in this
section of the road that are
impassable at times, and this
condition has existed for nearly
a month. We are trying to get
something done about this (note
the enclosed petition), and we
would like a member of your
group to drive this section of
the road, or talk to someone
who has been over it recentely
so that we can depend on your
active support in correcting this
situation.
If you feel that you haven't
had the highway traffic into
your area this past month that
you normally expect, I submit
the reason is poor roads and
specifically the impassable sec
tion at Ninilchik.

I have a cabin and cafe at
Ninilchik. Much of my trade
of this season of the year would
normally come from tourists
and Sunday drivers from Sol
dotna and Kenai going to Ho
mer. These people drop in for
a beer or a sandwich or soft
drinks going to Homer, or re
turning from Horner, and con
stitute a sizeable portion of the
average day’s trade. Much more
of the day’s business is com
prised of the Anchorage visitor
to the peninsula on a pleasure
trip.
This year the traffic to or
through Ninilchik has been
clam diggers and fishermen for
the most part. No sportsmen
have risked their boats and
trailers over this road, and no
pleasure drivers have made the
trip down this way solely for
a pleasure trip.
Every business along the
line from Anchorage to Homer
has a stake in this business for
no one can drive to Homer
without passing every business
twice, once going down and
once coming back. These pleas
ure drivers spend money, and
this money is distributed all
along the route, whereas a fish

r..
erman or clam digger drives
direct to the destination, and
the hardy type that travels this
road in the present condition is
usually the type to camp out, do
their own cooking, and often
bring their own extra gasoline.
Do not misconstrue this letter
to be a case against these peo
ple. This letter is intended to
solicit support to get the road
maintained to passable stand
ards immediately so as to at
tract the money dowm here
that is going elsewhere at this
time.
Enclosed you will find a pe
tition that was started Monday
afternoon and closed Tuesday
evening It was mailed today
to the various persons named.
This petition was signed by the
persons stopping in at my cafe.
Everyone that I showed the pe
tition to signed it gladly, how
ever there were a great many
more persons who did not get
a chance to sign it as I was
often too busy to draw attention
to it.
Sincerely,
Wayne Bishop
