FROMHOLz CREW MOVED TO ECHO
 COVE TRAIL JOB
Temporary Repairs to Sus- pension Bridge Sup
 ports Completed

To begin construction of the trail from Echo Cove to Yankee Basin, Foreman Bill Fromholz and a crew of six men were moved today from Eagle River to the Echo Cove landing by District Ranger Charles Burdick on the Ranger K, Capt. George Sarvela. The crew will remain on the project for the re- mainder of the current season.
 Start of the work was delayed some ten days by emergency work on the supports of the suspension bridge across Eagle River. High water threatened to take one of these out and made it necessary to divert some of the current through an old channel.
 Water is now subsiding and pressure has been removed from the threatened points. Later in the year, when the winter low water stage is reached, permanent improvements will be made.
