of new construction would be re- quired to make a highway to Alaska a reality. Of this 110 miles, less than ten miles require rock work, the re- mainder of the route being over flat, valley lands. or alluvial slopes. No expensive bridges would be involved in construction. The longest span in any bridge would not exceed 100 feet. Estimates indicate that 100 miles of the 11O miles could be built for less than $10,O00 a mile, compar- atively low figure for road construct ion in the North
 For the most part, this route lies through an area of scenic beauties and important agricultural possibil- tiles. abounding with game and fish
 This route represents the simplest and least costly method of opening Q highway to Alaska and could be com pleted many months before the main highway could be extended to any other accessible section of the Alas ka territory.

APPRAISERS MAY
HAVE OWN SOCIETY
National Real Estate Com
mittee Prepares Plans
for Organization.

Real estate appraisers may have a
professional society" of their own as
result of the efforts of the appraisal
division of the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards.
Detailed plans for the formation of
an organization to be known as the
American Institute of Real Estate APP
praisers, prepared by a committee dur
ing the past six months, have been
approved by the executive board of this
division and are now in the hands of
the division membership fo: approval
or possible changes. The plan, which
is built about the certification of real
estate appraisers through admission
standards to such an organization, may
be inaugurated by the sanction of the
association board of directors at the
coming annual convention to be held
in Baltimore in May
As drawn by the committee, headed
by Philip w. Kniskern, New York, the
tentative Set-up which found favor with
the Executive Committee provides that
membership in such an organization be
earned on an ability basis and not
granted on an honor basis.
Forum on Problems.
The institute would establish an open
forum for the written and verbal discus
sion of practical problems. for the con-
sideration of theories, for the building
of statistical data and ultimately would
hope to provide society publication for
the further recording of such valuable
contributors.
Membership qualifications would be
extremely high" according to the
tentative set-up, but Junior" member
ships would waive some of the
qualifica tons for other classes in order
