HOUSE FAILS TO
ADOPT PROPOSED
ROAD AMENDMENT
Roads Committee Refuses to
Include Alaska In Fed
eral Highway Act.

Efforts to have Alaska included IN
the general provisions of the new
Federal Highway measure by the
House Committee on Roads were I'M
successful, according to advices Just
received by Charles H. Flory, District
Forester of Alaska National Forests.
This measure was recently reported
out OF the committee fav0rably but
contained no mention Of Alaska IN
the general provisions. it was stated.
Steese Offers Amendment
Col James G. Steese made strong
effort to have Alaska included IN
the measure. He appeared before the
committee and personally offered
definite amendment to the bill as
introduced. An effort was also made
by others to extend the measure to
cover Hawaii. In the bill as brought
in by Representative Dunn, chairman
of the committee, neither amendment
was included.
Move Started Here
The movement to have the proVl'
sions of the Federal Highway Act
extended to Alaska was launched
here several weeks ago by the Jul
neau Commercial Association and was
joined in by the Alaska Road Com
mission, the Forest Service, Bureau
of Public Roads and the Territorial
administration. The national forest
sections of the Territory are already
included in the benefits of the bill
under the Forest Fund sections.
Southeastern and Central Alaska re-
gions would not benefit to any great
extent by the extension of the gen
eral provisions of the measure to
the Territory, but the interior dis
tricts would receive more than $4,-
100000 if they were treated on the
same plane as the public land states
Senate May Act
1t is possible that the Senate com
mittee may be induced to include
the amendment in it's report on the
measure. The Senate hearings, it is
understood, are scheduled to take
place in the near future.
