DISTRICT HEADS
 OF COMMISSION
 TOHOLD MEETING
ANNUAL MEETING OF A. R. C. FIELD CHIEFS AT JUNEAU
 THIS WEEK

For the purpose of attending the annual meeting of district superin- tendents and engineering heads of the Alaska Road Commission which will open at Juneau this week, Flaw ley w. Sterling, superintendent from the Anchorage office passed through Seward yesterday en route south. Mr. Sterling came over on Saturdays train
 Instituted some three years ago, these meetings have increased in i'm portance annually. Through them the field program of the Commission has been advanced materially and a more highly developed spirit of coop .eration between the several districts themselves and with Commission headquarters has been made possible At the meetings the Commissions seasonal programs, details of its work and other matters connected with the construction and mainten- ance of roads and trails and the in- .vestigations of new projects are dis cussed and fiscal accounting methods studied.
 Personnel of Conference
 Attending the coming conference will be Maj. Oliver, Lieut.. H. E. Fisher, Ike P. Taylor, assistant engineer, and district superintendent M. c. Edmunds, of Fairbanks, Hawley w. Sterling, Anchorage, T. H. Huddleston, Valdez, and J. R. Shepard, Chitina, and Mech anical Engineer Frank McCafferty.
 Col. Steese will not reach Juneau in time to take part in the meeting. Advices received from him in Wash ington at Juneau Commission head quarters which said he expected to leave there for Seattle March 21, and would proceed to Juneau on the first steamer after that date
 It is hoped, Maj. Oliver stated in the Juneau Empire, the field work of the Commission can be started this year earlier than is possible under normal conditions. Mild winter weather thru out the Territory with light snowfall almost everywhere indicates this pos sibility. In order to take advantage of any favorable conditions, the Com mission has already landed most of it's supplies and materials at various points in the interior which it is ne cessary to transport over the snow.
 While the entire program for the season has not yet been announced, Mai. Oliver has indicated that work will be concentrated on the Chatani. ka- Circle road construction and on i'm movements on Richardson Highway. It is now planned to complete the Chatanika-Cir project in the next three seasons thus opening it to traf. fic for it's entire length by 1929. Dur, ing the same three season period, the Commission plans to bring Richard. son Highway up to automobile stand, ard.
 The Commission is concentrating on these projects, owing to the inter. est manifested in them by members of Congress. One of the main req. sons which guided the House Commit. 1 tee on Appropriations in increasing the Commissions funds over the sum recommended by the Director of Bud. get was to provide additional funds for these routes and make it possible
Seward daily gateway., 1926-03-17

to complete them in three more work ing seasons.
 The Director of. Budget submitted estimates amounting to $600,000 for the Commission. The House Com mittee raised it to $751,000. Recent advices from Col. Steese said the Senate Committee on Appropriations had raised the item from $751 ,000 to s1,oOO,OO0.
 The meetiyg will last for about one week and at it's conclusion MT. Sterl- ing planned returned immediately to his office in this district.
