 FROM CONGRESS
Associated PressD

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 4.- The list of allotments for roads and trails in the national forests of the United States was made public to- day by the department of the interi- or congress having made its annual appropriation for that purpose. The list of allotments shows that that for Alaska is increased in the sum of s46.354
 At first glance the foregoing dis patch might be taken to mean that congress had increased the regular allotment of the Alaska Road com mission for work on the military roads and trails of Alaska only ill the sum of s46,354. when something over s60O,OOO. or s475.OO0 more than the regular appropriation, has been asked for. Accordingly, a repreSen- taufe Ot The tltlZen last nISut III terviewed MT. Robert J. Sommers, local superintendent of the road com mission, regarding the matter.
 Mir Sommers explained that he Is not familiar with the workings of the department of the interior re garding roads and trails in national forests, but that the allotment men toned has nothing to do with that for the work done by the Alaska Road commission, he is certain. He expresses the opinion that the in, crease referred to is for roads and trails in the Tongass and Chugach forest reserves of Alaska.
