NONE.KOCGAROk RAILROAD TO BE REHABIIITATED
 THIS SUMMER

According to Mir. Robert Som- ! mers. Superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission who arrived in Nome on the steamship Victoria from Seattle Wednesday. there will be complete rehabilitating of the Government owned Railroad from Nome to Shelton this summer.
 The road will be put in condition as tram to be used by the public The Government will not furnish any equipment such as transporta- tion facilities. The public, there- fore. will have to furnish and oper- ate their own individual means of transportation.
 So far the Government has not compiled any rules or traffic regu- sations. the question of who has the right of way will be left entirely up to the public. Mir. Sommers ex- poets no complications in that direc- ton however. as the people of AL aska have in the past held the high est regard for the other fellows rights.
 The only rule that the Road Com mission will enforce will be that no load exceeding two tons gross will be allowed to pass over the road. as that will be the capacity of the roads endurance after it's comple- tion.
 Mir Sommers states that the work of placing the Railroad in condition for travel will begin at Nome and continue oa to Shelton. and it is the desire of the Department to complete this work at the earliest possible moment.
 The Commission has brought ma terial sufficient to rebuild the bridge across Nome river with him from the States.
 The government turned over to the Alaska Road Commission one hundred and forty five thousand feet of lumber to be used in the re- building of the railroad. this lum- ber is at St. Michael and will be brought to Nome by the steamer Buford,
 MT. Sommers stated that the wagon road work would consist of repairing and general upkeep of roads already built.
 There will be some repair work on the south esat corner of the ietty and also at the foot of D street by the harbor department.
 So far the only other plans for harbor work are the completion of contracts not yet finished from last year.
 Mr. Sommers will remain for the summer and all work for the Alas ka Road Commission will be un- der his supervision. upon his de- parture for the States Charles Jones will assume the duties of Superin- tendent of the Road Commission, which he has held before.
