ALASKA RAILROAD TO GET
LARGE APPROPRIATION
Washington. Dec. 2. (AP>—Spec
ial The largest single item propos
ed for Alaska in the appropriations
for the coming session of Congress
is an item of eight million nine hun
dred and fifty five thousand for the
Alaska Railroad. Maintainance of
Way work is .the road’s greatest
need. Smith said. Such expense has
been reduced to the minimum dur
ing the present economic adminis
tration. but full operations will not
require much increase. There is
sufficient travel in sight to make the
road self-sustaining for the present
although care will have to be ex
ercised in expenditures for some
time in the future. Smith said. He
suggested that the future general
manager should have experience in
maintainance of way work, because,
said Smith, good traffic is possible
only when this work ic kept up to
the highest standard. Development
in mining in the Fairbanks district,
coal mining and passenger-carrying
capacity of the steamers touching
railroad points will be greatly in
creased before considering the tour
ist business. Expected difficulty in
obtaining passage from Seward to
Seattle is said to be affecting the
passenger traffic. The White Pass,
Upper Yukon conditions and Alaska
generally , were discussed by Presi
dent Ooolidge and Governor Bone.
The President asked the Governor if
Alaska was included in the benefits
of the Federal Highway Act.
