No Time To Stop
Fairbanks CitiZen)

Fairbanks Citizen)
 Because Congress has appropriated $6000,OOO for the Alaska Railroad there is reason to stop work ing the entire $17,000O00 which has been au- thorzed for the completion of the project There is still $11OOO 900 which has not been appropriated and the quicker it is made available the better for all concerned.
 But for the fact that the six million dollar ap- propriation Is available continuously until expended the fact that Congress did not make the entire amount available at would seem to indicate it did not attempt to abandon its former policy of providing funds by piecemea rather than in a lump sum to be expended when and where the Alas kan Engiheerihg 4Commission sees fit This method of appropriation as not proven successful and has been wastefui ira theri than economic. ,as. 57c .
 And the fact !that Congress has provided the six million may cause 1t to put off passing another ap- propriation sbtfis which will provide the $1BO00o00 yet remaning.It Is to guard against such atti- tude .the~uarN of Congress that Aaskans should keep up their efforts to get the whole su before the incident grows cold. The longer it. is delayed the harderstwiM be to get it. Even should success the highest degree attend efforts, it will take ua,i after New Year and possibly well along into spring of next year to get another appropriation bill through both houses
