Yukon-Alaska |
Blighway Urged

By: Ed. Kenney|; |

For some months “past BE, T. Kenney,
MM.L.A,, “hag made. al intensive study
‘of the problem of building the Yukon-
Alaska. highway, ond during that time

has. coliccted a lot of data.

. Mr. Kenney does not take the nar-

row view that go many do ‘who are in
‘political . life—that if a scheme is

started -by an opposing. party it is all
wrong. Rather he sees in this plan
something “that all parties should get
behind, and he went to 2 lot of trouble
during‘ the session to make sure that
the present government is sympathi-
cully committed ‘to the’ project.
While he “specifically disclaimed in
his specch in the house, to make any

: statement as to where the road showld

go, and was pr epared to. leave that to

the decision ‘of competent engineers,

still it is -the general opinion that it
should start nt ‘some point near Hazel-
ton, nid praceed ‘north west through
the région of comparatively light snow

in fersible. limits, and. a usable season
of immny; mouths of the year. Such 4
route, with” a. small amount. of snoy

“‘removel, ‘might be used as a tractor

pre oposition even when ordinaty traffic’
was barred. The project is receiving
serious consideration in the United
States, . bills having been passed ‘quth-
ovizing the President to negotiate with
Ottawa, also setting on one side the
ium of two million dollars ‘fo the sur-
