,1OAD IMPROVEMENTS
 FOR THIS DISTRICT

Shortly before the departure of Dis LricL Forester c. H. Flory, Associate Forester E. A. Sherman and District Engineer c. w. Cheatham of the bu- reau of public roads, for the south it vas announced that considerable im- prOyements would be made in the highways of this district.
 The sections to be favored within a short time will be Girdwood, at which place a road will be run to the Jewell mine and the existing highway i'm proved; the Hope district will be giv- an an expenditure, the road leading to the Hershey mine being placed in shape to bear heavy traffic and the beach road to Sunrise improved. The main artery of travel from the railroad to the Hope mining section is to re- ceive the most attention of all, 1t be- ing expressed that from Mile 29 to Sunrise the road will be put in such shape as to bear heavy traffic and also suitable for auto travel.
 In addition to securing the funds 1e uuired for completion of the work out lined an effort will be made to secure additional funds with which to do To- cation work in the district. The bu- reau of public roads staff is now en- gagged in forming an estimate of tho amount that would be required to car Try to completion the plans projected for all three sections.
 Among other projects which were not favorably viewed was the construc tion of what is known as the Russian river road, MT. Sherman expressing as his opinion that the time was not pro- pitious for road building to that sec ton. This decision was arrived at chiefly on account of. lack of funds. Funds for road construction in the Chugach forest reserve are allotted ac- cording to the acreage and the total amount of timber contained in the tract to be served. Under this basis this section will next year receive a heavy allocation.
