The various funds appropriated by Congress for construction of roads within National Forests were set aside for developing such regions in every possible way. Congress ap- parently recognized that if the com munities within National Forests are to prosper and develop, much of such growth must and should result from the development of the resources within the adjacent Forests. In selecting projects for. construction, therefore, it has been the policy to take communities into our confidence and to choose those which benefit people living in or adjacent to. the forest and which develop some of it's rces,-whether mineral, tim Der, water power, agricultural, or even tourist possibilities.
 With these principles in mind, a tentative list of projects for construc- tion next season was selected after consultation with the Territorial Board of Road Commissioner and recommended to the forester on Mo- vember 29. While this program is subject to change, no very material alterations are anticipated. The list is as follows:
 Tongass Highway, leading
 north from Ketchikan to
 the Wards Cove school
 uOuSe tO,UUO Petersburg -Scow Bay, to
 complete ...............-............... 1000 Cordova-Eyak Lake, to finish

''SPEEDER" IN AGAIN
 AFTER TWENTY YEARS

DETROIT, Jan. 18.-"Speeding a horse twenty-si years ago at the terrific rate of twelve miles an hour proved the undoing of William Paige, a policeman, who was found lying under a milk wagon near his home. in a far from proper condition as the result of violating the prohibition law The judge decided a $5 fine would help curb Paiges fast life.

At the time the above tentative program was submitted the recom- mendation was made that if the Alaska Road Commission desired it, certain projects now under construc- tion in cooperation with the Forest Service and the Territory within the National Forest areas by the con- mission, be completed with forest funds in order to release Road Con- mission money for expenditure else where The following projects were specifically referred to:

The Cordova daily times., 1922-01-18

In addition to the tentative pro- gram given, requests have been re- ceived for funds on number of other projects, most of which prob- ably cannot be undertaken.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-01-18

The law under which most of the funds are obtained requires that all work costing $5,OOO or more per mile shall be offered for contract To do this it is necessary to make a final location and work up complete cost data before advertising. Field work necessary for this requirement is practically completed by the Bu- reau of Public Roads for the above projects. Data will be secured for the 1923 program next summer This program has not yet been finally de- cided upon and probably will not be until next winter The general road development plan which has been prepared and submitted to the for ester, however has on it the follow ing projects which are being serious ly considered for construction in 1923 and which will, among others,

 If all of the above work is under taken it will leave approximately $4OO,00O additional money available for other projects than those listed above and for emergencies during 1922 and 1923.
