When queried as to the progress
of road work Mr. Hough reported
that they are doing as well as
can be expected with the present
equipment. When the rest of the
needed loaders, pick-ups and snow
removal equipment is acquired,
progress will be more speedy, he
said All maintenance work is
now performed by the state.
He also reported that special
funds will provide for continued
survey of the lava beds north
of Nome for the route of High
way 97, which work is being
done by Bill Kohler.
