ASKS LARGE APPROPRIATION j
_ !
Acting Secretary of War Urges Con-:
gross to Place Half Million Dollars
to tlie Credit of Commission For
Work on Valdez-FairbanJts Road
From Valdez to Fairbanks and
then to Chitina by a good automobile
road, running through some of the
most magnificent scenery in Alaska,
will be made possible next summer if
the recommendations made to Con
gress by Maj-General Hugh L. Scott,
acting secretary of war, are adopted.
General Scott, according to a dispatch
from the Seattle Times Washington
correspondent, in a letter submitted
to Congress, requested that an appro
priation of an additional $500,000 be
made for the purpose of building
roads and trails in Alaska. This
will make the total appropriation for
this purpose $660,000.
Automobiles have been able to
travel over this road the past two
years, but with considerable difficul
ty, and a number of tourists who
took their machines to Alaska with
a view to making the trip to the in
terior were compelled to abandon the
purpose because of the almost im-,
j passible condition of the road.
Col. Wilds P. Richardson, chair-1
man of the Alaska Road Commis-1
sion, has always favored the plan of j
making this into a good road for au-,
tomobiles, because of the advantages!
it would have for military purposes. I
but "inability to get the necessary ap-1
proprlations from Congress has do ,
ferred the completion of the work.
The Alaska Road Commission two;
years ago worked a plan by which i
!connections would have been made,
from Skagway with a road to be built!
| by the Canadian government from
the border down the Yukon to Eagle
City, the lower boundary line. Here
the road was to have been connected
by the road from Fairbanks to Val
dez. The Canadian government
started the construction of its end
of the line, but the work w’as aban
; doned soon after war was declared by
j Great Britain.
i If the appropriation requested by
I General Scott is passed by Congress,
the road from Valdez to Fairbanks
and thence to Chitina will be placed
in traversable condition next sum
mer, and doubtless a number of tour
ists will drive over it. In any ev
ent ft will be used for hauling sup
plies and for carrying mail to the
interior.
| This trip will give tourists a chance
!to take an automobile tour through
the coast range of mountains and
■ at the same time give them an oppor
tunity to see the mammoth glaciers
on Copper river at close range.
In his letter accompanying the rec
ommendation to Congress General
Scott said:
“With this amount it is proposed
to carry toward completion the con
| struction of the Valdez-Chitina-Fair
' banks military road, a road of great
'postal and military value, now under
i construction for several years, with
i constantly increasing traffic, which
makeB maintenance expensive. The
weaker sections will be strengthened
and gravel surfacing carried through
out.
“It is also proposed to carry out
construction for the Ruby-Long creek
road, upon which $43,000 has al
ready been spent. This route and the
Valdez-Fairhanks route traverse two
of the three great trunk lines from
the Gulf of Alaska to the interior,
the other being the proposed federal
railroad route. The sooner these
two roads are made passable, and
usable for traffic throughout their en
tire distance the better for the pub
lic it will be. It is stated that the divi
sion of the $500,000 from the regu
lar estimates was due to the fact
that it was not practicable for the
president of the Alaska Road Com
mission to bring the full facts to the
attention of the department in time.
