 Regarding fog problems, Gorst declared that we hit the fog problem over the Sikiyous in starting the coastwise Seattle to California mail run which was called impossible but we found way to beat the fog. On the inside passage to Alaska, the fog could be no worse and am confident a regular service can be maintained.

SHATIUCK WAY FILL
 IS ABOUT COMPLETED

The work of making the rock fill in what is now known as Shattuck Way, from Front street to Ferry Way, at the rear of the Coliseum Theatre and the Alaska Laundry, is about completed. The work was started about three months ago, jointly by the city and the property owners. Over 5000 yards of crushed rock was required to make the fill. The material was hauled by several trucks that have worked double shifts, from the A. J. trailing dump. D. B. Remmer and the Norris Construc- ton company, hauled the rock on a per yard basis. It is planned to extend the street from Ferry Way to the Juneau Cold Storage in the near future. The work has been surveyed and as soon as all of the property owners that will be bene- fitted agree. work will be started.
