C. G. Morrison, engineer Is,
charge of road, building la Alaska,
left on this morning's train for
Fairbanks. Before bis departure
he stated that a survey ol the Oor
dova EyaJr lake ro-"m would, be made
this summer, and the road from
Second- street to the 'a'te also
l»a completed at once. T,he boule
vard around the lake will be tea

It is also the intention, to spend
$25,000 on a road at Katalla; $10,
000 ou the Seward Keoai road
and $5,000 on the Quartz creek
and KuseLan river road' to thp west
ward.
All of this road construction will
be don« under tliQ forestry service
which derives its funds for such
work from "federal air road monkey
appropriation" created by an act of
congress three years ago. That
appropriation set asldie $10,000,
000 to be used in tbe building of
! ro'-Ja and trails in and adjacent
to nationai forests. The bill how
ever contained a provision, that
| fhfc forestry service must obtain
1 "Cooperation" before it could ex
' p(*"d any money for thig road' work.
| Tho head of the bureau hag ruled
I that "cooperation" means that
tho local communities, state territo
ry, county Qr city, or somg other
branch of the federal government
must appropriate funds to help car
ry on the work before the forestry
department would undertake the
work. , ,
Of the $10,000,000 appro
priated 11,000,000 becames avail
able annually and of thifi amount
Alaska is allotted $46,280 each year
During the past three years none
of the money baa been expended in
Alaska, so there will l>e , after
thA first of July, nearly $180,000
available for road buildlingg in the
territory, provided' the necespary
"cooperation" is extended.—Cordo
