Review of Road Work for 1959 and 1960
In reviewing the road work in
this area for 1959 and 1960, Mr.
L. E. Hough, district engineer for
BPR, explained to the Chamber
of Commerce that all unexpended
road money for 1958 and 1959
was to be used excusively for
maintenance over a three - year
spread. Part of this money was
allocated for projects in 1959 and
1960 and Northwestern Alaska re
ceived 22 per cent of the allocated
funds.
Accomplished and projected
' road work was listed as follows:
Highway 97 to the Kuzatrin,
which is 68 miles of road; recon
struction of the Cushman bridge
at the Kuzatrin, delayed until
spring due to the steel strike;
IVi miles of road from Kuzatrin
to Coffee Creek, bids for which
are being called this week; Cof
fee Creek and beyond for about
15 miles, plans are being designed
and bids are to be announced
Washington
Newsletter
(From the Office of
Senator Bob Bartlett)
WASHINGTON — Charles F.
<Chuck) Herbert, Alaska mining
engineer who has been in the
diamond country in Brazel, stop
ped off in Washington recently on
his way back home to Anchorage.
Mr. Herbert is a graduate of the
University of Alaska and now
maintains offices in Anchorage as
a. consulting engineer.
When he came to the Capitol to
have lunch with Sen. Bartlett,
Mr. Herbert turned the tables on
the waitress who was telling the
two Alaskans that she was horri
fied by the high prices in An
chorage as recorded in an article
in the current issue of the Sat
urday Evening Post. She was
particularly shocked that the ar
ticle reported hamburgers were
85 cents at Anchorage.
After looking over the menu,
Mr. Herbert said to her, “I’ll have
one of the cheap hamburgers
here. I see they are only 75
cents.”
The Steaks Were High
Close followers of Senate mat
ters were gripped in suspense as
the 86th Congress, first session,
drew to a close. In the final hours
of the session, which came as
dawn broke over the Capitol, few
onlookers in the galleries were
aware of the tension on the floor
of the Senate. There, the Sen
ate pages—teen-age boys serving
as Senate messengers — were
maintaining a running record of
the service by members of the
Senate as the Senate’s Presiding
Officer. The stakes were high, for
promised to the Senator serving
most frequently as Presiding Of
ficer was a steak dinner, courtesy
of the pages themselves.
As the gavel fell on the end of
the session, the tired pages an
nounced results of their bookeep
ing. And without as much as a
day’s delay, the pages made good
on their promised reward by
treating Senator Bartlett — the
•announced “winner” — his wife
Vide, and daughter Sue to steak
dinners at a Washington restau
rant.
BIA Officials Eye
Uniform Test Plan
Education specialists from Bu
reau of Indian Affairs district of
fices met in Juneau last week to
formulate a uniform testing pro
gram* fcr all BIA schools. The
tests will be applied to determine
students abilities in elementary
and high schools.
Among those at the meeting
were Emil Kowlaczyk and War
ren Tiffany, from Nome. The spe
cialists met with Eunice Logan
and John Eichman cf the Juneau
BIA office.
early in the spring; new bridge at
Sunset on Snake River, replacing
the old bridge now dismantled;
new bridge at Penny River, ready
for the Nome-Teller road con
struction; rock wall finished on
Solomon road at 17-mile; resur
facing over Cape Nome; paving
of Nome main street anct airport.
Mr. Hough also 'advised the
Chamber that he had been in
structed to construct shoulders on
the Airport Road as they were
not provided at the time the as
phalt was laid. There is no proj
ect for guard rails, he stated, as it
is believed they would cause snow
problems, however, if at a later
date they were found necessary
for safety, no doubt they could
be provided.
A letter was read from the
Matanuska Chamber requesting
action at the Planning Board
hearing on Friday concerning the
moving of the capitol of Alaska
to a more central position.
The Chamber response indicat
ed that the state was not in a
financial position to make the
move at this,time and the matter
should be deferred until other
problems have been solved.
Joe Kroninger gave a compre
hensive report on the Nome-Teller
road hearing, expressing how suc
cessful it had -been and the unani
mous opinion of the large group
present that the road should be
built, where designed. He regret
I ted to report that the progress on
Highway 97 was not in the pre
sent planning being given as
much consideration as it should
and much Chamber work will
have to continue to accomplish
the completion of it.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Morgan
of Rotary International, were
guests at the meeting, also Ash
Craft, president of the Nome Ro
tary Club.

Not ‘Capital’ Punishment
ALBUQUERQUE. N. M., UP* —
U.S. Dist. Judge Carl A. Hatch
has dismissed a grand jury indict
ment against an Albuquerque1
woman because three words in
the document were not capital
ized.
The federal grand jury indict
ment charged that Mrs.' Dorothy
Ann Lloyd,, 28, embezzled $3,053
during 1958 from a nursery school
and kindergarten.
Hatch ruled in favor of defense
attorneys who argued the indict
ment was faulty because first let
ters in the words “nursery school”
and “kindergarten” were not cap
italized.
