cluding the bridge situation over the Big Minook. But these de- mands on Us for the adoption of new projects are far greater than we can comply with within avail- able funds and preclude the pos sibility of adopting the Eureka Rampant project at this time.
 For your information give be- low a list of the most important new projects which we now have underway. The allotments to each have been pared down to the ut most and can not be reduced any further without forcing the aban- 1onment of one or more of these projects. The projects referred to are:
 ChiStochina- -Nabesna. This is a road project intended to reach the very important mining sec tion around NabeSna which now has no transportation whatso- ever except trail and where there is every prospect of opening up quartz property which will give year-round employment.
 %><%
 Olnes-Livengood. This project has finally been adopted after pressure by local interests for many years. It is one of interest to the entire Fairbanks area. In addition to opening up the Liven- good mining area, it will obviate the present futile expenditure on the Toloyana Tram.
 ><\\
 1liamna. This short project provides access to the Ilianna Lake-Lake Clark region, cutting off about 1000 miles of sea tra- vel that is necessary for access to this country from Bristol Bay.
 Dillingham-Snag Point. This is a short project adopted recently after pressure for many years, supported by the Delegate, in favor of relief for this communi- ty.
 Willow Creek-Willow Station. This project connects the Willow Creek Mines with the Alaska Rail- road at Willow Station. The inn portance of it is conceded by everyone that has investigated it. i The entire delegation in the pre- sent legislature agreed that this Is probably one of the most i'm po-tont road project for the vel fare Of the Third Division. It will 1 serve to open up properties where year-rCund employment in quartz may be expected.
 In addition to the foregoing new ! construction projects it is desired ] to improve the Circle ] highway, especially in the section paralleling the Chatanika River ! where serious interruptions to rtaffic occurred last year to such l an extent as to deter investment ! of capital in transportation opera tions between Circle and Fair ! banks.

Combining 3 Departments

The Teachers Council will meet
tonight to protest the action of
the Board of Education in COM
bining three school departments
into one, with the subsequent de-
motion of two department heads.
At a meeting of the board
Wednesday, it was voted to merge
the departments of chemistry,
biology and physics into one sec.
tion, to be styled the department
of science. This action means
dropping DR.. William p. Hay.
head of the department of biol
Ogy, and DIR. william A. Hedrick,
head of the department of physics,
to teachers status.
Members of the Teachers Coun-
Gil last night conferred with Paul
Lesh, local attorney, who said the
action of the board would ,sult
in destroying the morale of the
teaching profession here
Mr.. Lesh said, however, it
would be unwiSe to attempt any
legal action at the present time,
asserting he hoped the better
judgment" of the board would re-
suit in the action being re-
Scinded.
Protests also were voiced by the
Teachers Union of Washington,
who said this action was taken
without referring to the opinions
of teachers, parents and other
citizens. Both organizations said
the action was taken without a
full meeting of the board. 1t is
