It is ex- pected that definite information will be forthcoming shortly from the national capital. The present Alaska proposal calls for three major projects, two of which would provide for roads and include the two million dollar’ex- penditure for the Fairbanks-Canad- ian line section of the International Highway and the other for some half a hundred new airports and airport improvements. FERA officials estimate approxi- mately 5,000 men can be furnished from the Territorial rolls, the bulk of these now being in the First and Third Divisions. The public works setup would call for ecompletion of the work by July of next year and 90 per cent of the workers be taken from relief rolls. Officials here have stressed the shortness of the season in Alaska and the need for early action. Al- ready one delay has been encoun- tered by the Alaska Road Commis- sion, which will have charge of the program, with the loss of some $40- 000 worth of road machinery on the Denali when she went on the rocks near Ketchikan.
