COL. RICHARDSON
 RETURNS NORTH
 FOR SUMMER WORK

Col w p. Richardson, president of the Alaska Board of Road Com missioners. was Juneau visitor yes terday while the Mariposa was in port. and left on the same boat for Valdez. the headquarters of the com mission. He will return to Juneau in about two weeks, and spend sew eral days here before proceeding to the Interior. Col Richardson believes that the military appropria- tions bill carrying S500.00O for AL aska roads will pass, but until it becomes a law there will be more or less uncertainty as to the plans of the commission for the year.
 The larger appropriation was urg- ed with special reference to the need for completing the coast to Fairbanks road and making it so as to accommodate the great traffic that is offering for that route. and to build the Ruby to Long Creek road. which. eventually. will be a part of the road system that is de- signed to make for better traffic arrangements between the route of the Alaska Railroad and the Kusko-  lxwim region of which Iditarod is now the commercial and industrial center.
 Col. Richardson will be better able to outline the work that will be done in the Southeastern Alaska re- zion when he returns to Juneau about the first of July Al that time he will take up Southeastern Alaska road matters.
 There is a live interest in Alas kan affairs at Washington" said Col. Richardson, "and a disposition to aid the development Of the Ter ritOry by extending the road deyel- opment"
 Col. Richardson called on Gov. J. F. A. Strong. B. M Behrends and others while in the city.
