C Ingram, resident engineer for
the Bureau of Public Roads, re
lates of a new method of road
work which is taking place in
^ Moose Pass, namely, hydraulicing.
At Mile 22 the point has been
sluffing continually until this
" spring when it reached a more or
less dangerous stage to traffic.
For three years the crews have
been, more or less, fighting that
out-thrust and constantly sluff
ing away of the clay-like sub
stance. Under ordinary methods
Engineer Ingrim said the work of
cutting down the point would
have cost from $1.50 to $2.00 a
yard, but by hydraulic methods,
the department will be sadly dis
appointed, he asserted, if the cost
runs 10 cents for it is estimated
that 5 cents per yard would be

Aside from the maintenance
work being done on all projects
the department is alsobuilding a
trail down by Hope and a wooden
pile-bent bridge across Ressurec
Ition creek which will be about 100
feet long. This work is being done
I for the forest service.
Mr. Ingrim reports the Schoon
: er Bend bridge across Kenai River,
i is well under way and the con
I tractor is going after it in a
workman-like manner. Without a
doubt the bridge will be fully com
pleted by fall as bridge construc
! tion will begin when the flood
dangeris over. Thecrews are now
excavating, grubbing and doing
other preliminary work
Thelocal radio road surfacing is
being taken care of by Henry
Frost and his crew and Mr. In
grim feels confident that by next
spring the road-bed will be in
first class condition.
Of special interest is the an
1 nouncement that a survey will
probaby be made this fall of the
proposed mile extension to the
Seward-Kenai Lake Highway, from
the end of the present road to be
yond a point from which a clear
and unobstructed view of that
portion of the lake may be ob
| tained.
Another contemplated survey to
be made this fall is that of the
| local wooden structure crossing
j Resurrection River. Though old, it
is stated that the bridge is still
in fair shape, but there is a pos
sibility a new bridge will be erect
ed in the near future.
