NO ABANDONMENT
 OF PROJECTS BY. A. R. 6. NECESSARY
Failure of Appropriation Will Not Halt Alaska Projects,
 Says Col. Steese.


 The plans for the seasons work by the Alaska Road Commission based on an army appropriation of $450000 will be continued by the Commission just as if the bill had become law instead of having been vetoed, according to Col. James G. Steese, President of the Commission, who arrived in Juneau yesterday afternoon on the Northwestern. Col. Steese has been absent from Juneau since November l, most of that time having been spent in Washing ton. in connection with his official duties.
 Expects Early Action
 Col. Steese expects the army ap- propration bill to be taken up early in the special session of Congress that will convene on April II. There seems to be no reason to believe that we will get less than the $425,000 allowed us by the last Con- gress, and it is possible, of course, that that amount may be increased said Col. Steese. However, we will proceed on the assumption that our appropriation will be available by the end of the fiscal year To do otherwise would result in the loss of many weeks of the best part of the season and throw our entire pro- gram into confusion and entail ser ious delay. ,
 Cooperative Fund Helps
 "On March 1. we had in the All aska fund $130,0OO which will carry us probably pptil May}15,i .saAi2 Col Steese. "The appropriation can hard ly be made available by that time and if it were not for the sco-opera- tive provision of the Territorial Road law, our position would be somewhat In fact, if it were not for the cooperative law, the Alaska Road Commission would be compelled to abandon it's program for certain sections and concentrate it's energies on those districts in the Territory where there are the greatest num- Der of activities Projects Affected
 Some of the projects planned. and on which we plan to do actual work this season which would suffer but for, the cooperative provisions of the Terrftory,a said Col Steese. }"are the Acknowledgement Railroad project, the Chatanlka- Eagle Creek route, the Ophir-Tacotna road. in fhe Fourth Division; the Cache Creek-Talkeetna project, in the Third Division; and much of the work pro- posed for the Seward Peninsula.

rus statistics showed that the ag- ~regate population of American cities. when the canvass was made six months or more ago. actually exceeded the aggregate population of the f2rniing districts, a condition unprecedented in the country's his- tory.
