"The

Highway
I
-
in
itself

the
Interior
of

but
the
eight

of

from

to
Hazelton
directly
affects
all
residents
along

vith
the
highway
from
Hazelton
to
Prince

which
will
be
completed
within
the

combined
with
a
highway
from
Hazelton
to
Alaska,
a
great
and
very
real
need
of
the

will
be
fulfilled.
Incidentally

of-the
people

will

to

and
will
have
a
real
Incentive
toward
the
fu
ture
development,
"From
a
military
and
econ
omic
point
of
view,
its
proximity
to
the
coast
makes
feeder
roads
from
the
coastal
cities
a
minor
problem."
The
Hazelton
route
would
be
both
to
the
United
States
and
Canada.
With
its
possibilities
no
other
projected
or
proposed
route
can
stand
comparison.
The
grades
are
easy

there
is
practically
no
rock

nor
are
there
any

and
the

is

suitable
for

"The
