ALASKA SITUATION IS
BOOSTED mi PI,
BEGINNING MARCH 1
TERRITORY BECOMES SEPERATE
ROAD DISTRICT —WILLIAMS
REMAINS AS CHIEF
On March 1, .those sections of Al
aska in which the Bureau of Public
Roads operates became a separate
road district, being sergegated from
District No. 1, with headquarters at
Portland, Ore., according to an of
ficial announcement just received at
Juneau headquartersof the bureau and
published in the Juneau Empire. M.
D. Williams, who has been at the
head of the bureau here for almost
two years, with rank of Asst. Dis
trict Engineer, will be in charge of
the District, as Acting District En
gineer.
The effect of this charge will be
to bring Alaska up to a par -with
other districts throughout the coun
try. There are ten of these, the
local district being District No. 11.
It will be in direct contact with gen
eral headquarters at Washington,
thus eliminating w'orking through
the Portland office as has been nec
essary in the past.
Welcomed by Officials
The raising of the status of the
Alaska branch was received with un
qualified approval by both Territor
ial and Federal officials. Governor
George A. Parks said it would facili
tate greatly the carrying out of co
operative working agreements be
tween the Territory, the Forest Ser
vice and the Bureau of Public Roads
and probably expedite the program
for construction of low type roads
into mineralized areas along the
coastal streams heading back into
the regions of the International
Boundary.
It is indicated that the agreement
recently reached between the Gov
ernor, District Forester C. H. Flory
and the Bureau of Public Roads rela
tive to extensive surveys in South
eastern Alaska was one of the main
factors in bringing about the estab
lishment of the new district.
Desired for Years
“This step has been greatly desired
by the Forest Service for the past
five years,” saaid Mr. Flory. “It will
aid materially in pregramming our
road construction in the Territory,
eliminate considerable delay which
has been experienced in the past in
submitting programs to Washington,
and promote efficiency in both ad
ministration and operation. While
we have always received the most
hearty co-operation from the Port
land office of the bureau, natural
handicaps made it impossible for the
branch office to function with as
much satisfaction and as high a de
gree of efficiency as will be possible
where we can deal directly with dis
trict officials locally and where the
latter can report directly to Wash
ington.”
Details to Work Qut
Details necessary to establishing
the new district, which will have its
headquarters here, are being worked
out. Files, records and papers relat
ing generally to Alaskan projects,
now kept in the Portland offices, will
be transferred to Juneau headquart
ers immediately after .the date the
segregation becomes effective, Mr.
Williams said. Whether there will
be any increase in personnel was not
definitely known.
Four engineering parties will be
put in the field this season to carry
out the survey program in South
eastern Alaska. Two new engineers
recently arrived to take charge of
two* parties and assignments for the
others will be made in a short time.
Thomas C. Parker and Walter J.
Sisson, recently appointees to the
bureau with rank as Chief Engineer
ing Inspector-Superintendent, have
been definitely assigned to surveys.
Other assignments for the season
announced by Mr. Williams were:
L. W Turoff, engineer in charge of
work on Tongass Highway at Ket
chikan, where he was last year; R.
C. Ingram, in charge of the work on
Kenai Peninsula. The latter will
leave Juneau about April 1, for Sew
ard to take up his new work. He
was in charge of work last year on
Glacier Highway.
