 Speaking of the plans for the sum mer Col. Richardson said that the ap- propriation of $l25.OOO would have to be used exclusively for repairs and maintenance of the present roads hence there could not be any new work undertaken. "The tax fund will be reduced and the loss of the poll tax win make the general road fund less than that of any previous year" he said. but am hopeful of getting a large appropriation for the next year. The construction of the railroad will call for the building of more and bet ter wagon roads to provide tonnage. I am glad that skagway will get a road to the summit. It means much to the town and will also bring better business to the railroad company.
