 Transmission Station
 The transmission station, accord ing to understood plans. is to be built on 80 acres of land recently purchased from the Pederson Dairy on the Glacier Highway. The sta- tion and two immense towers will be erected, also quarters for the transmission staff. Poles have been laid down between Duck Creek, along the highway, to Pederson's Dairy, ready for the ground, and running of the power line from the main line of the Alaska Juneau. The operation of the line will be under the management of the AL aska Electric Light and Power com pany, the same service as now ex- tended to various localities along Glacier Highway
 It was the original intention of the Signal Corps, U. s. Army, to erect the transmission station on the property where the Army planes landed several years ago, between the Mendenhall and Juneau Dairies, but. the erection of the immense towers was protested by the PAA as endangering their airport on the Render property
 Agreement Reached
 The Department of Commerce, Department of War and the PAA, acting in conjunction over the con- troversy, finally came to an agree- ment, it is understood. whereby the PAA finances all changes from the old to the new plans for the trans mission station. including the moy- ing of the hello station" which has been built on the Army land be- tween the two dairies.
 The erection of the transmission station, quarters. and towers will be started soon, it is said, and the in- auguration of the radio telephone between Juneau and Seattle will fol- low immediately.
 Radio telephoning between Ju- neau and Seattle is not new as the Signal Corps has used the system for over two years on official busi- ness and for other purposes but with the inauguration of the ATTIC serv- ice it will be the first time com- mercially.

NICE ANSWERS CRITICISM
ON $500 AUTO TAG PLEDGE
Governor Says Democrats Block
ed Effort To Carry Out Pledge

Governor Harry w. Nice asserted at
Annapolis on Monday that his efforts
to- have automobile license tags re-
duced to $500 had been thwarted by
the Democratic majority in the Gen
eral Assembly.
Using a story published in Baltimore
as basis for his statement, Governor
Nice said that for two years he had
withheld reply to criticism of his
promise of $500 tags, which had not
been fulfilled. He pointed out that in
1885 his budget proposed reduction
from the average of $3.50 to $500,
but that this and a covering bill had
been defeated by the Democratic ma
jority. "Had l been permitted at that
time to have effected this reduction of
$780," the Governor said, sit would
have been comparatively easy matter
this year to have further reduced the
cost $500 and obtained the $500 Ii
cense tag"
81 did everything within my power
to redeem my promise through the
medium of my first budget" Governor
Nice said, adding that reduction to
$500 during any time of his admins
tration would have been a redemption
of his pledge and that he should be
given credit for making the attempt.
His statement was coupled with
condemnation of political partisan
ship and a reply to State Comptroller
William S. Gordy's criticism of a state
ment in the Governors message to the
legislature that political units were not
complying with the law requiring fs-
cal reports annually. Nice insisted
that at the time he wrote his message
the reports were not being made.

ROAD TREATMENT TO HALT
WINTER DAMAGE SUCCEEDS
State Roads Commission Uses
Mixture To Heal weather"
Wounds

An inspection of the largest surface
treatment program ever undertaken
by the State Roads Commission in
dicates the work has been successful
in helping roads withstand winter
weather.
The severe winter of last year, with
alternate freezing and thawing, left
many roads chopped up with frost
boils." To seal the highways against
such damage, the Commission treated
many miles of surface with oil and
asphalt or sand and gravel.
can inspection after a recent thaw
revealed that in all cases where the
roads had been stabilized they were
carrying traffic in such a manner as
to justify the expenditure" said Ma
than L. Smith, chief engineer of the
Commission.
"In some cases, where the surface
treatment material was applied on the
graded soil, a softening and rutting
was noted, but even on these roads a
quicker reaction to the dragging and
reshaping has been brought about by
the binding qualities contained in the
surface treatment material"
Approximately 100000 gallons of
light cold tar and cutback asphalt
were used in surface-treating 767
miles of State roads and 1877 miles of
county roads to keep them from crack
ing up in winter and make travel easier
for the motorist.
"For the first time, where conditions
permitted, through traffic was detoured
during working hours, thereby speed
ing up the work, and since the cover
aggregate was rolled and bitumnin-
Gus material allowed to set up be-
fore being turned over to traffic, a
more serviceable wearing course was
obtained" Smith said.
Natural soils were also stabilized to
provide all-weather roads. Eighty
miles of the recently widened roads in
the county system were stabilized by
the addition of local sand, sand and
gravel and stone dust.
Gan experimental surface treatment
program has also recently been COM
pleted, which included approximately
Is of the 80 miles of stabilized roads
and IL additional miles on the county
system, on which the graded soil with
out additional material was deemed
satisfactory to treat" Mr.. Smith
said.
On the State system, SO miles of
gravel-surfaced roads and roads sta
biized with stone dust, and "a miles of
earth shoulders adjacent to high-type
pavements We're surface-treated.
"To complete this program, 100000
gallons of lignum binder, 318 tons of
calcium chloride, 10000 gallons OF
slow curling oil, and 45 tons of sodi-
UNI chloride were used.
periodic inspections will be made to
observe the reaction of these roads to
the varying weather and traffic condi-
