Weather Speeds Airport Work

Last Fridays high winds were just what the airport burning crew ordered. It enabled the men to begin burning of the stump rows at the extreme northern end of the field, which they earlier had decided could be ig- nited only when the wind blew from the south.
 Other stump rows at the port were fired when the wind sub- sided, and the burning was we'll under way today. Several men have been employed to assist in the work. Men of the Alaskan Fire Control Service and the Valleys firefighting equipment are standing by to give help if fires appear to be getting out of hand.
 A representative from CAA came from Anchorage last Fri day morning to advise and assist in marking off the small plane runway on the east-west strip, to be used while the other run way is under construction.
 Dave Bryant and George Small will do the grading and seeding work on the north-south strip. MT. Bryant estimates that it will be at least month before grass will be rooted firmly enough to allow planes to land there again.

Plans For Bridge
Dropped For Present
High Price, Steel Shortage, Cause
Drastic Action

Current high prices of materials
and the steel shortage have forced
the State Highway Department to
abandon plans for the present for
building a bridge across the Della
ware River near Farnhurst, it was
learned Wednesday night of this
week.
Bridge crossing employees of the
department, including the director,
Lieut-Gen. Eugene ReybOld, re-
tired former chief of the Army En-
gineers, have been given notice eff
tective at the end Of the month.
f. V. DUPONT, chairman Of the
State Highway Commission, said he
had no statement to make and that
any official announcement would
have to await a meeting of the COM
mission in Dover.
On Jan. 8 it was first learned that
materials costs might force the de-
partment to abandon the bridge
temporarily after a meeting of the
commission. A statement at that
time said in part:
Under existing circumstances it
is quite possible that the project
will have to be abandoned until
conditions are stabilized or addi-
tiOnal legislation is enacted"
Bids We're Too High

bids had been opened for the con-
structiOn of the two main anchor
ages and the two tower piers of the
proposed $4O,OOO,OOO crossing.
