ROAD AID BILL !
IS INTRODUCED
BY SUTHERLAND
Seeks to Amend Federal
Highway Act to Get Ad
ditional Road Money.
To Include Alaska in the Federal'
.aid road construction program as it
| is extended to the States is the aim
a bilt recently introduced in the
Hom e of Representative by Delegate
j Han Sutherland, copies of which!
have just been received here. In an
interview given The Kmpire just be-i
i fore he ljjft here for Washington'
everal weeks ago. the Delegate an
nounced his intention of making
nich an effort and pledged himself|
j to use all Ills energy to pushing the
hill through the present session of
j Congress.
The bill introduced by him pro
vider: “That. Section two of the
Federal Highway Act of November
!>. 1921, us amended by the Act of
dune 9, 1922, (Pub. 244 1, be, and
the same is hereby amended eeffetive
July 1, 1923 by adding thereto the
following: The term The State’ shall
mean any State in the United States
of America and the Territory of
Alaska."
If this measure is enacted into
I law, it will extend all of the Fed
eral aid provisions of the Federal
Highway Act to the Territory and
add annually large sums to the
amounts heretofore appropriated for
road and trail construction. It has
1 been estimated had the full pro
visions of the Act been applicable
o Alaska from the date of its or
! in'ina 1 enactment, approximately $4,
1 i)li(),000 would have been available
I Hr road work without calling for
ether than the usual amount of
Teiritorial road appropriations.
The present appropriations bill
carrying funds for Federal road aid,
■i recommended by the House com
mittee, provides for $30,000,000 for
that purpose. Out of that amount,
f Alaska is admitted on the same
basis as the public land states of
■Hie West, about $1,500,000 it is
(.".(mated. would bo available for
