A.R.C. ROAD SHOP
FOR HOMER ??
T
with the building of the
road, I'omer comes naturalli
into a good sized industry.
Being the tiderater terminus
of one end of the road, it is
the natural place for the
0.6.C. dehot and maintainance
shops.
Gineady a good sized shop
is being constructed and a
good sized housing project is
about completed for workers.
a diesel power plant is being installed for generation of et
ity.
with the road will come truck lines with their warehouses and
shops. The operaters will need housing, subhlies etc. All this
will be a boon toomer.
Excursion notes to Seattle and return to închorage with a one meet
stopover, for $ 125.00 round trih including tax, is headline news
to Alaskáns wit a have been having about &$ 100,00 for the same trih
at the close of the war. This makes the air lare cheaper than the
boat trih in almost a hall. Is me said before the airlines are
carrying people for 4 a mile in the States and hy not in
alaska. These fares are good on -C 3s, the same stins that me
have been riding on our regular lines. Then man not have a metty
hostess to serve you a cup of coffee once in a while, but with th.
reduction in fare it almost havs to wait for that cup of lava unt
one gets in Seattle, I think we in & omer would be willing to ride
the old crates we had lefore the advent of the new shinn main
liners and waive the cup, al callee and pretty hostesses il me cou
go to Anchorage for a fc a mile rate. Gt six dollars a trip &
think most of us would feel that we could make the trih almost
once a week. Some day this dream will come true.
