| banks route involves less new road
construction in Alaska, saves sev
eral hundred miles of new construc
tion, and also serves important
mining territory in Alaska. Both
routes are acceptable from the Am
erican viewpoint.
5. The benefits to be gained from
the project from the American point
of view are:
(a) Development of Alaska thru
making the Territory accessible by
highway, resulting in an increase
of population and consequent in
crease in revenue from taxes, tend
ing to decrease the present neces
sity of for Federal appropriations
for the support of the Territory.
<b) The road would be a great
contribution to the welfare of Am
erican citizens now living in Alas
ka under adverse conditios. by pro
viding a physical connection with
the vast continental road system.
<c> Opening of new country that
is now practically inaccessible, giv
ing opportunity for settlement, in
vestment of capital and employ
'ment.
< d * The new road would make ac
cessible to the continental highway
system the existing road net in cen
tral Alaska comprising about 900
miles, providing a new and valuable
area for exploration, for recreation,
or for business purposes.
<et The highway would foster
air comerce with Alaska by furn
ishing a guiding landmark and pro
viding service to aviators along the
most practicable flying route of the
territory to Asia.
No attempt is made to evaluate
the benefits Canada would derive
from this project, but it may be
mentioned that in addition to such
direct development of new Cana
dian territory as might be brought
about by the road. Canada would
gain the business and commerce in
cident to providing service and sup
plies to motorists using the road
for access to Alaska.
6. Since the annual cost of op
erating Federal agencies in Alaska
is about $7,000,000 in excess of rev
enues. the expenditure of an ad
ditional $3.000.000—spread over sev
eral years—for the purpose of de
velopment of the Territory to a more.

7. By the construction of about
200 miles of new road—in conjunc
tion with about 1,000 miles of new
construction in Canada—the Terri
tory would gain a physical connec
tion with the vast continental sy
stem comprising hundreds of thou
sands of miles of road in United
States, Canada, and Mexico. From
the Alaskan and American stand
point, therefore, the advantages are
obviously more than commensur
ate with the cost.
