CONFERENCE ON
LINE CHANGE
Chairman Edes and Engineer in
Charge R. J. Weir have been in con
ference at Girdwood regarding a
change in location of the main line
between there and Bird point. Weir
is expected to return Saturday.
The original survey by the govern
ment engineers in that section was
made in sections at the time the line
with the Portage bay as a terminal
was under consideration. The line
surveyed from Portage bay joins the
Seward-Fairbanks route at Mile (54
and continues north on the same grade
as was originally proposed for the
main line. When the line survey
south of Potter creek was changed to
avoid certain spots on Turnagain arm
where snow slides are prevalent it con
nected with the original survey a short
distance north of Girdwood, near Mile
77‘ . |
R. J. Weir, engineer in charge here,
who made the Portage bay survey,
noted a possible change that could
be made in the location between Mile
76 and Bird point at Mile 80 where
this connection of surveys occurs, and;
ran a location along the suggested
route, developing the fact that fV*/>
change would save considerable hard
rock excavation. The chairman is
now inspecting this relocated line to
determine whether to authorize the
change.

EXTEND YARD
SPACE BY FILL
An extensive fill has been complet
ed along tho right of way north of
Lowell creek by which the yard space
here is enlarged considerably. Plans
for future improvements call for the
removal of the machine shop from its
present location which will make way
for a number of tracks heading into
the main line at the foot of Munroe
street.
This fill encroaches on ground for
merly under water at high tide and
it may be necessary to face it with
rock or extend a bulkhead along its
face to prevent the gravel from wast
ing down.
