WORK ON DEPOT MOVING ORDERED
 STARTED AT O|VCE
GEN. MGR. OTTO F. OHLSON BE- GINNING DEPOT REMOVAL
 IMMEDIATELY

Making a personal inspection of the new depot site adjoining Arcade Park, General Manager Otto F. Ohlson, of the Alaska Railroad out lined to two of his superintendents the preliminary steps in the removal of the present depot to the new site which work is to begin immediately. Nj Ohlean, .pwho .arriysd fql the city Friday night, left for Anchorage Sat urday morning.
 As has been stated before the rail road track will be elevated at least three feet to level with Third St.; wards the beach for it is proposed to shove the double track out eight feet GGravel is to be used on the new site and not muck or mud, and, according to the blue print and Specifications great deal of attention and care is to be devoted to making the depot and surroundings to harmonize with the beautiful park adjoining
 It is also said that C. M. Brosius, owner of the triangular corner at the street intersection fronting the depot, plans to tear down the small corner building in order to enhance the new depot site. Other buildings in the same locality will be painted and in general, dolled up, to conform har- 'moniOusly with the new business sec tion.
 Just what plan Mir Ohlso has for dock approaches, if any, is, not known but as he previously said concrete walk will be laid down from Fourth street to the depot. The coal bunkers have been removed and though the matter of removing the big Brown & Hawkins warehouse has not yet been definitely settled, MT. Ohlson feels confident the railroad and MT Haw- kins will reach an amicable agree ment. In the meantime the prelimin- ary work will get under way.
 MT. Holmes, bridge and building superintendent, and MT. Colwell roadmaster of the Southern Division, conferred with their chief over the plans and upon his departure, left with him to further discuss the pro iect with him.

OHLSO|v PREDICTS ALASKA RAILROAD
 JAN SuPPORT SELF
NEW BUSINESS AND PLANS TO PUT RAILROAD ON SELF
 SUPPORTING BASIS

In the opinion of Otto F. Ohlson. General Manager of the Alaska Rail- road, he feels quite confident that within period of a few short years, the system will be self -supportine. This statement was made to the Gate way Saturday prior 10 his departure for his Anchorage office and follow ing his first trip over the line since he assumed management last month.
 The road is in fair shape" Mr. 0hlson said, ~Dut tncf'@$ is Vital need of much work all along the line but in this regard this work must proceed within the bounds of the annual ap- propriation Congress grants.
 Last year the deficit on the rail road was reduced to under million. the first time this has happened since the road was constructed. and I am fully convinced that with the influx of new business, sure to come. and with the plan of operation I have in mind, the deficit will shrink to such an extent that the Alaska Rail road will be self-sustaining.
