TO INSTALL
RADIOSETS
Plans* of Alaska Road
Commission to Fa*
cilitate Work..
(Juneau Entire. >■ '
To facilitate the' work-of It3 crews
on different road-building-projects in
Alaska, beginning next season, the
Alaska Road Comtnfssion will'install
its own radio stations, according to a
statement made today by Capt. C. S.
Ward, disbursing officer of the Com
mission. Six sets of radio equipment
have been,secured for this purpose,- he
stated.
The equipment was secured from the
Signal Corps supply stores io-Wash
ington by Col. James G. Steese, They
include sending sets, equipped with
meaneof recharging the batteries, and
standard receivings sets,- the stations
having sufficient power' to cover the
range Between the places where-they
will be erected.
It is not planned by the Commission
to have all six. stations in a single
chain, but three chains of communica
tion will be established. It is hoped,
according to Capt. Ward, that the sta
tions will be in service late this spring
or early in the summer. ODe chain
will be established between McGrath
and Opbir, a station being established
at each place, and will put the crews
working on the eDds of the Ophir-Mc
Grath road in direct communication
with each other. Another will stretch
between Talkeetna and Cache creek in
connection with the Commission’s pro
ject in that district The third will
link up the Kantisbna district with
Riley creek, on the Alaska railroad
south from Nenana.
“While primarily’the establishment
of these stations is for the convenience
of the Alaska Road Commission,”, said
Capt, Ward.- “there is bo doubt that
other messeges will be handled when
ever possible. As there is do means of
communication between any of these
places at present, -the Commission’s
stations will prove a great help to
them.”
The station personnel for each place
will be- furnished by the Alaska Road
Commission. No regulations have been
drafted covering the manner in which
husiness'will be handled. The Cphir
' McGrath link will give the people
communication-through McGrath* Idit
arod and Nulato with the Signal Corp9
telegraph-and oable system. In a sim
ilar way Caeh© creek will be connected
with the Signal Corp-; line through
Talkeetna and the Alaska railroad sys
tem, while the people of the Kantishoa
will be given a means of communica
tion over- the Signal Corps lines
through Riley- Creek station' of the
Commission.
