ROAD COMMISSION BUYS SURPLUS MACHINES

The Alaska Road Commission has purchased all the used Army equipment in the old BJL storage yard in Seward.
 All the machinery is in need of repair and great many parts are missing. Included are gravel grad ing machines, asphalt mixers, track laying tractors, heavy trucks, and turnapullS.
