M. D. WILLIAMS
 SEES POSSIBILITIES
 FOR HAYNES CUTOFF

So long as the war lasts and it is essential to direct every effort toward winning it there is little likelihood of Federal appropriations being made for extensions or im- proYements of non-War- essential roads under the jurisdiction of the Public Roads Administration, Dis trict Engineer M. D. Williams of FRA for Alaska. told the Wrangell Chamber at it's luncheon meeting yesterday Engineer Williams, in town for a few days in connection with road maintenance work of his department in this district, said the Pats Creek survey at the end of the Wrangell highway was being brought up to date but that there was little prospect of the work be- ing done at this time.
 Speaking unofficially, purely as an individual interested in Alaska's s future, Williams said he believed it would be of advantage to Alaska to see that a service of some kind from Southeast Alaska, perhaps a ferry service. be made to the Haines cut off which enables highway connec- tion to the major towns of the h. terior and Westward.
 Other guests of the Chamber were Thor Hofstad, formerly of Wran- gell. here awaiting tug with F. R.. Sterling to take the Harrington riv- CT boat to the Yukon, and Adj. Henry Lorenzen of the Salvation Army Secretary of Brig. c. o. Tay- Tor.
 Mayor Hanford reported on his hot springs, (found elsewhere in this paper) and President Thorn quist appointed the same committee
 -Hanford, Chet Steear, Ken Stens- land and Lee Ellis to continue the project.
