ALASKA POPULATION
UP 20,000 IN NINE YEARS
Alaska’s civilian population has
increased by more than 20,000 in
the nine years since the last offi
cial census and by almost 3,000 in
the past year, according to estim
ates announced by the Alaska De
velopment Board in Juneau.
Population of the Territory to
day, the Development Board be
lieves, is about 94,875. On October
1, 1939 the official census showed
the Territory to have 72,524 peo
ple. The Board’s estimate for this
year compares with one of 92,000
for October 1, 1947.
The apportionment of the 1948
population by judicial divisions
is estimated by the Board as fol
lows: First Division, 27,200; Sec
ond Division, 12,725; Third Divi
sion, 34,700; Fourth Division, 20,
250.
The population estimate, made
in connection with exhibits pre
pared for the forthcoming Civil
Aeronautics Board hearing on
United States-Alaska service, was
based upon Alaska Native Service
reports of the number of inhabi
tants in the Native villages, estim
ates by the mayors of incorporated
towns, school enrollment figures
and comparative telephone and
Gen. Twining
Alaska Booster
TOKYO, (A*) — Newest red-hot
booster for Alaska is Airforce Lt.
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, com
mander of Alaska defenses.
No Florida or California sup
porter ever did more missionary
work than General Twining ex
hibited in behalf of Alaska while
here attending a series of military
conferences at General MacAr
thur’s headquarters.
Twining, an ardent hunter and
ouidoorsman, found the region
around his Anchorage headquar
ters a paradise for the huntsman,
fisherman and outdoor sports en
thusiast.
On the serious side, Twining
said most problems connected with
maintenance of planes and other
service equipment in Alaska tem
peratures have been licked. Most
pressing problem today is housing.
electric service meter installations.
An official census is to be made
in the Territory next year. Pre
sumably it will enumerate Alas
kans as of October 1 as it has in
previous census years. Prelimin
ary arrangements for the 1949
enumerations are being made by
the Census Bureau in Washington.
