the Alaska Road Commission for the Natonal Park Service with funds to be provided by the latter. The road was extended 7.5 miles dur ing the past season so that one can now go into the park about 12 miles by automobile. This road com pleted will make the park readily accessible to tourists and should greatly stimulate the rapidly grow ing tourist traffic of Alaska
 Another work of particular in- terest is the rehabilitation of the Nome Sheldon tramway. This nar- row gauge railway was purchased by the Territory in the fall of 1922 with the understanding that the Alaska Road Commission would rehabilitate and maintain it for pub- lie use as tramway The road as opened for a distance of 35 miles in 1923 and work of the past season makes it now available thru out for use of gasoline speeders and cars drawn by dog teams. For about fifty miles the road may be used by cars loaded to four or five tons and drawn by gasoline locomotives or by horses. It is proposed to con- tinue the improvement so that the entire 87 miles of tramway will be suitable for such traffic by the close of another season.
 Complete Bridge Soon.
 Work was continued on the con- struction of bridge across the Nlz1na River near Mccarthy. This bridge will consist of two spans of 1S0 feet each and 235 feet of pile trestle. The piles have been driven, the piers constructed, the approaches prepared, and materials assembled at Mccarthy. They will be freighted out ten miles over the snow on sleds drawn by trac- tors during the month of Febru- ary and the bridge will be complet- ed during the spring.

 "The above includes only routes upon which work was performed during the past season. The Alaska Road Commission maintains 46O0 miles of additional roads and trails upon which no work was performed during the past season, either be- cause the routes were considered to be in suitable condition for the traffic requirements or because the funds for needed improvements and maintenance were not available.
 Big Improvements Made.
 Extensive improvements were made along the Richardson High way from Fairbanks to Chitina and Valdez. These included the con- struction of one miles of expensive new road in Keystone Canyon where the old road was subject to over flow from Lowe River, and con- struction of 15 miles of new road at other points where it seemed best to abandon the old road, plac- ing heavy gravel surface on 10 ad- ditional miles, grading or regarding n miles, construction of 141S lineal feet of bridges, construction of 3S4 culverts and repair of 167 others.
 "A stee. bridge of IS ot span has been purchased to replace the jerry across the Salcha River 40 miles from Fairbanks. This bridge is now at Fairbanks. It will ne hauled out to the bridge site by tractor drawn sleds during the win ter and will be erected during the month of March. Piers and ap- breaches have already been prepar- cd.
