The local office of the Alaska Road Commission has received word that
 the White motor trucks ordered for use
 in connection with the commissions s
 road activities cannot be delivered for
 some time to come owing to rush of orders at the factory. About ninety days is stated to be the probable length of the delay in delivery. The ron arrival of the machines has ser- iously upset the contemplations of Superintendent Jones, who intended to employ the machines large in surfacing work which can be accomplished at q low cost and with ex- |cellent dispatch through their use. The |commission's auto truck operations during the past year or two disclosed that they are of Invaluable assistance from the unitarian as well as the economical standpoints in all branches of road work.
 As delay of ninety days in delivery will mean that the trucks cannot be used during the present season, Sup erintendant Jones has decided to can eel his order and has wired the cons pany to that effect.
