Problems Are Differént The problems of road cohstruc- tion that confront the Commls- slon in interior Alaska differ. In several respects from the ordl. nary cases encountered in the United States proper, this state. ment pointed out. “The subsoil there most part permanently frozen; a con n inherited from a preced. ing geolog'cal period when the slimate was much colder than it Is present. Now, during the stemmer months, the average alr temperc.uwie is from 50° to 60° F. and temperatures of 90° and 100° are mot rare. This warmth, coupled with the exceedingly long hours of daylight causes the ground surface to thaw and vegetation' to grow and decay rapidly. The resultant thick layer of moss and dead vegetation havié formed a wort of heat resistant blanket which prevents further thawing to any great depth, “When road buildérs come along and: break this seal, thawing be- gins anew, the subgrade shrinks and Dbecomes water.soaked, and fcr two or three years much diffit culty s experienced s for the 11 llllllllllIIl!llulu“l!ll!l‘llflmllll! lllll i llllllll the rod opeh fo’iratric, “In, m-ny cases, - in. grder to mrov(de hmthediate service, 4 sub-| grade' ot édrduroy 18 placed .di- toctly on'the mossy surface with. out © disturbing the Heul. “This’ method M quite successtul, but of couse . is ‘to B #voided whenewr! * possible on account of its nlgh ni: tial cost.
