finish within a week.
The bridge crew which has been
! working on the Chickaloon crossing
! has been discontinued for the present.
Two slight line changes have been
incorporated in the work immediately
south of Camp 27. In one case a small
saving in yardage has been effected; in
the other the change was made to keep

i slope.
Repairs to the Eagle River bridge

of the period . ,

tween Stations 1282 and 1290; 210
yards at Matanuska River bridge, for
bank protection; anti 220 yards in the

necessary supplies at Camp 201, the
work between the Kashwitna River
and Sheep Creek will be covered by
contractors.

line, moved 14,000 cubic yards of

tions 5900 and 0100 . The first lift of
ballast was distributed as far as Sta
1 tion 0150.

facing and lining of track from Sta

cued .
