KLUKWAN ROAD
Whereas, the Klukwan Camp
of the Alaska Native Brother
hood is intimately acquainted
with the condition of the roads
in their own vicinity, and.
Whereas, from this knowledge
they affirm that the road be
tween Klukwan and Haines is in
very bad condition particularly
that section between nineteen
and twenty mile post, and,
Whereas, this condition is due
to floods which pour over and
on said road, and,
Whereas, these floods can be
controlled by proper construc
tion and thus remedy the terri
ble condition of the road as it is
now, and,
Whereas, this repair of the
road is very urgent because
motor vehicles are now the only
means of transportation in that
district, all supplies for several
hundred people having to be
brought in that way over this
road, the sick too having to be
taken over that road to Haines,
a distance of twenty three miles,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLV
ED, that the Bureau of Public
Roads be asked to repair the
Haines-Klukwan road and to
build a bridge across the wash
at Klucktoo and at the nineteen
and twenty mile posts.
