ROAD SUGGESTION IS PUT FORWARD
In cooperation with The Gateway a prominent Sew
ard business man comes forward with the suggestion that
efforts be made to have the Bureau of Public Roads build
a road extending from Moose Pass down to Lawing, at
Mile 23, Alaska Railroad. The road would terminate at
that point a ferry operating from Lawing to Mile 1§,
Seward—Kenai Lake highway, would serve to connect
the links affording ingress and egress by automobiles
and trucks.
It is said this six-mile of new road could be construct
ed at a moderate sum for the region it would traverse,
not paralleling the railroad but back through a valley, ap
pears to be an easy rolling country with practically no
rock work and with but one bridge to erect of the type
now under construction on the local highway.
The advantages set forth embrace that of afford
ing additional forestry protection; the Bureau of Roads
department would have an opportunity of saving days of
delay in reaching the Sewrard headquarters offices during
the construction period throughout the Kenai Peninsula
regions; such a connecting link would serve as an incenta
tive for taking up of homesteads and for those now re
siding along that route and district, it would be a most
welcomed acquisition. To the Town of Seward it would
mean stimulation of trade with those outlying points,
and to the rapidly growing tourist travel it would be the
means of visiting one of the beauty spots of the Territory
heretofore closed to them. Thesq are but a few of the out
standing or salient arguments why the construction of
this six-miles of road should be built.
With the endorsement of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce, together with the signatures of a few of local
business men—and not by a lengthy petition with hun
dreds of names attached—it is confidently believed the
Bureau of Public Roads would give the proposed project
its close consideration. They are in Alaska to build roads
where they are needed but the department must first be
presented with a general outline! of the good such projects
would accomplish. Facts are what the department wants.
Letters from the Seward Chamber of Commerce, di
rected to the Road Board which is comprised of Governor
Parks, M. D. Williams, head of the Bureau of Roads; C.
H. Flory, of the Forestry Department; R. S. Summers,
Territorial highway engineer, enlightening them on every ■
conceivable point, should be sent at once. This, they
would appreciate to the greatest extent, in considering
the matter.
Additional reasons why Alaskans should spend their
winters in the Territory is seen by the constant series of
disasters taking place Outside throughout the United
States.
