ROAD FROM THANE TO DUPONT IS BEING
 SURVEYED BY GREW

Leonard Smith, Territorial High way Engineer, announced today that a Highway Department crew began making a survey this morn ing of a route for the proposed ex- tension of the highway south of Juneau from Thane to Dupont. Smith explained that the survey is exploratory and should not be con- sidered an indication that any def mite plans are in the offing for the extension of the road He said that the survey which will take between 10 and 12 days for completion, is only an investiga- tion into the possibilities and feasibility of such project.
 Smith said that he had receiv- ed requests from many summer home site permitees and prospec- tive summer home site users, in that area. for the construction of such a road Their requests, he said, have brought about his con- sideration of possible action. He declared that his department can build roads for servicing summer home users if there is a large enough number of persons to be accommodated
 The proposed road is 2.9 miles long, Smith said, and would ex- tend only to Dupont if constructed. He said that rumored plans for the building of a road all the way to Taku,, are a long way off. Smith said that such a project, if under taken. would be a Federal or pri- vate enterprise and would not come out of Territorial appropriations. He said that the Territorial High way Department only builds new roads when population increases warrant such construction.
