To Confer on NJ. Highway

Flathead county commissioners
and Scott P. Hart, Helena, state
highway engineer, are to confer
Wednesday at 2 pm. on the North
Fork road.
Flathead commissioners la st
month recommended that the road
be placed on the secondary system
with the objective that the route
be improved and extended to Cam
eron lake in Waterton Lakes Ma
tional Park, Canada. This would
complete circle highways for
Glacier and Waterton National
Parks. Existing gap is on the west
and north side of Glacier.
There is already a truck road
over forested Akamina pass, the
continental divide between Al
berta and British Columbia, and
an improved forest road up the
Flathead's North Fork in Montana
just across the river from Glacier.
Roadless gap is a section of about
20 miles.
The state highway engineer told
the Hungry Horse News that if he
could not come to Kalispell next
Wednesday, the department would
be represented by Fred Quirnell
Jr., administrative engineer, who
handles pre-construction matters
Stanley Halvorson, Kalispell,
highway commission member from
this district, is helping out with
the project.
