NARRONS WORK

Major Lunsford E, Oliver, act ing president of the Alaska Road Commission, has announced from hls headquarters at Juneau that the Wrangell Narrows project will be completed within the next two seasons provided bids for the re T.. aiming work fall within the resi- due of the original authorized ap- propriation. This would insure a low water channel, 200 feet wide and 21 feet deep through the en- tire elngth of the Narrows.
 Slightly in excess of $400,0OO re- main of the original authorization and this sum $20O,OOO is includ- cd in the estimates for the coming hpeful that a contract can be se- cured at figure which will make competition possible without being compelled to go to Congress for another authorization.
 Specifications approved by Chief Engineers were issued last week by the Alaska Road Commission in yi,ing bids on the removal of the remaining shoals in the Narrows. The figures presented are the re- suit of the survey conducted by the Commission under the immediate supervision of James G. Truitt.
 Bids for accomplishing the work are to be opened in Seattle February 10, 1927. It is hoped that bids will be received which will en- able the entire remaining work to be done with the funds now auth crized, amounting to about $410, 600. The road commission has left about $S5,O00 from the $175, ,O0OI provided for last seasons work, 4 and an additional s2O0,O00 was re- gently allotted to the work by chief U s. Army, and the re- riaining $125,0O0 necessary to make up the s5OO,OO0 authorized by Congress will be allotted by the chief engineers when needed.

 Tt is expected when the inn rroyeemnt is completed the lar gest ships now running to Alaska will practically always pass thru tho Narrows rather than make the trip around Cape Decision which requires about eight hours additional time."
