King George Will Open Five Power Naval Conference LONDON, Dec. 19.—Pre- mier’ Ramsay MacDonald announced in the House of Commons today that King George Rhad consented to preside over the opening of the meeting of the Five lines, he said. The Road Commission is assured of funds equal to those of last year, the budget having approved $800,000 for its Alaska operations. ‘This means it will be able to carry on in about the same manner as during the past several years. Money for initiating new projects is not plenti- ‘ful and most of such funds will be expended on the Chisana road, a feeder to Richardson Highway. The road and trail system of the Com- 'mission has expanded to such ex- |tent that it now requires a large |part of the annual appropriation !for maintenance work, Maj. Elliott | said. { Highway Makes Progress | The promotion of the Pacific-Yu- kon Highway has made great strides !exceeding the most optomistic ex- pectations of its sponsors, he added.
