Road Program Should Include Alaska

Road Program Should Include Alaska
Anchorage Daily
A so billion dollar federal road program is
recommended to become $500 billions
No one can conceive in his minds eye just what
100 billion dollars is put end to end or piled up or any
other way is figure in the ASTRONOMERS and there is
no use trying to comprehend it Just let it go as an
awful lot of money.
General Lucius D Clay heads the Presidents
special committee the road program-a program
that is last ten years and has for its purpose the
construction of major highways criss crossing the Uni
ted States The original project to cost $50 billion
Now General Clay and his committee of five have
revised that upward to $500 billion.
1t will be interesting to note January q when
President Eisenhower reveals the details OF the plan
if Alaska is included in the road building program If
by now the Clay committee has not received positive
request from Alaska urge that all persons and
agencies whose standing in the territory voices author
ity and opinion get busy at with full
dations to General Clay for the Alaskan portion Of
the program. The All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce,
the Alaska Development Board the Delegate in Con-
gress the League of Alaskan Cities should all urge
Alaskas inclusion in the program.
The construction of roads is so necessary to the
development of this territory that this statement
of facts is most elementary. We have within few
short years tremendous development in the Kenai
Peninsula with the opening Of the Sterling Highway
less than five years ago. Those who recall the
pre-Palmer colony days remember that the Matanuska
Valley was a sleepy summertime farm community.
The Seward Highway has worked miracle into the
Moose Pass country and Seward itself We need roads
to the Kuskokwir, the Yukon and to Nome
Other forms of transportation very necessary,
it can't be denied The arplane the railroad, coastal
and river boats have all had their impact developing
Alaska But they all reach dead end when no road
stretches out beyond their terminals
It is tremendously expensive building roads in
Alaska The preparation Of the roadbed alone costs
more per mile in the territory than does mile of COM
plete road in most parts of the United States
The Alaska Road Commission and the Bureau of
Public Roads, our two principal road building agencies
have done fine jobs and it is to them we are indebted
for our highway transportation system However they
are limited by almost year-o-year program at the
hands of Congress.
The Presidents multi bllion-dollar program
would be just the thing for this country It would
mean planned program decade, with funds
assured. We could indeed see where we are going
Planned construction ten years ahead would indeed
put us on tn road to fortune.

averages about $40 day in ex-

would amount to at least $219
million a year, he said.
