MODERNIZATION OF EQUIP
MENT A. U. C., SPEEDING UP
THE WORK
r
t
(
Modernization of the road build- f
ing equipment of the Alaska Road 1
Commission in the past few years
has speeded up to a very large de
gree the construction of roads, pow- 1
er driven machinery has replaced
pick and shovel and the horse- j
drawn scraper, but without disturb- j
ing the equilibrium of the labor I
status It has enabled the Commis- '
sion not only to build more mileage
than was possible under the old
system, but to build it more eco
nomically.
This was indicated in a statement
made public at Juneau from head
quarters of the Commission relati. e
to both the method and means of
construction.
THE PROBLEMS OF
road construction that confronts
the commission in Interior Alaska
differ in several respects from the
ordinary cases encountered in the
United States proper .this state
ment pointed out.
“The subsoil there is for the most
part permanently frozen; a condi
ition inherited from a preceding
geological period when the climate
was much colder than it is at pres
ent. Now, during the summer
I months, the average air tempera
jturc is from 50o to GCo F. and tem
Iperatures of 90o and lOOo are not
| rare. This warmth .coupled with j
| the exceedingly long hours of day- j
light causes the ground surface to j
thaw and vegit.ation to grow and
jdeca,y rapidly. The resultant thick ;
haver of moss and dead vegitation
have formed a sort of heat resist- 1
ant blanket which prevents further |
I thawing to any great depth.
“When road builders come along !
and break this seal, thawing begins j1
anew, the subgrade shrinks and be- !
comes water-soaked, and for two
or three years much difficulty is
experienced in keeping the road
open to traffic.
“In many cases,, in order to pro
vide immediate service, a sub-graae
of corduroy is placed directly on the
mossy surface without disturbing ; j
the seal This method is quite suc
cessful. but of course is to be avoid- j
od whenever possible on account of
its high initial cost.
“The frozen condition of the sub- .
soil also prevents proper drainage j;

“ ‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said,‘to talk of many
things:
“ ‘Of ships, and shoes, and sealing-wax, and cabbage,
and kings’ ”
ffhere are many things as the Walrus so aptly
pointed out,, to talk about—and to desire. But
they aii have their price, And it is folk who SAVE
their money who can afford to buy the ships and
the shoes , the sealing wax and the cabbages, and
even sometimes the kings. This bank is the Bank
for Savers. We solicit your account.
