mckinnon Sees Possibility oi Paving Canadian pari Of Road

ANCHORAGE - Passage of Senate Joint Resolution 137 could clear the way for pos- sible paving of the Canadian portion of the Alaska Highway it was revealed last week by State Highways Commissioner D. A. McKinnon. The resolu- tion, would authorize funds for a highway needs study in AL aska.
 McKinnon presented this view during a speech deliver ed October 10 to a high way session of the annual convention of the State Cham Der of Commerce here.
 The needs study, he said, is extremely important to enable Alaska to attain an integrated system of primary and second ary highways as we'll as local service roads. One part of the study would be to provide for engineering studies and esti- mates, in accordance with treat ies or other agreements to be negotiated, relative to roads in Canada to connect with AL aska.
 This may be the beginning of a program to get the Cana dian portion of the Alaska Highway paved," McKinnon said.
 Earlier in the speech he sum- marked the goals and accom- plishments of the Department of Highways since it's organ, ization six months ago. The new organization, McKinnon said, allows for more rapid pro- gress in the overall highway building program.
 On the local level, for in- stance, each of the five districts throughout the state has been given the authority and respon- sibility for the supervision of all activities in their districts. Tn other words, the districts have been given the tools to carry out their responsibilities" he said. Each district follows the same organization as the department, logical division of highway function among four principal divisions ad- ministrative- pre-construction, ministrative, pre- construction, This parallel organization al- lowed for smooth development of the new department, with clearly defined lines of respon- sibility and authority, and has done more than anything else, he said, to accelerate the high way engineering and construc- tion program.
 During the first six months of organization the pre-con-

 the department, about the pos
 sfbllity Of federal fun2s being

 made by Mason LaZelle, man. ager of MEA, the service area of which extends to the Chuitt River-Beluga-Tyonek area.
 The local electric coop board of directors and manager feel that a small amount of road construction would tie the ex- isting roads and the oil com- pany-constructed airport to the village of Tyonek, opening the way for development of the and the surround ing territory to the point where extension of power to the oil and coal-rich area would be feasible, LaZelle said.
