Judge Gilbert Stresses
Need for Improved Travel;
Conditions in N.W. Area I
Judge Hubert Gilbert returned
from Fairbanks this morning,
having represented the Chamber
of Commerce at a transportation
meeting.
Judge Gilbert had stressed the
urgency for completing Highway
97 from Nome to Nulato, suggest
ing that it “start at both these
ends as well as in the middle,”
and that it be completed as soon
as possible. With an area of 120
miles square in the Kateel area
being staked for oil and gas ex
ploration, the need of a road is
paramount for the northern coast
of Alask,a for oil rigs and supplies.
The Judge also presented the
need of air transportation up the
coast of Alaska, where the vil
lages are located, to Barrow, point
ing out that other parts of the
states have F.A.A. transportation
aids, but none exist in the north
ern Arctic area, and should be
provided as soon as possible.
A Nome, Kotzebue, Barrow
route must be established for the
people of this area, he stated.
