Territorial Highway Engineer
Frank Metcalf arrived today, ac
companied by Highway Patrolman

himself against accidents to the
other motorists on the Alaska
roads by knowing that brakes,
lights, horns, etc. are in good con
dition.

are located at the Polaris. They
are working in co-operation with
the City Police Force.
Highway Engineer Metcalf had
a new title bestowed upon him
last week when the Territory took
over the Juneau-Haines ferry. (He
was informed that the ferry is
part of the work of his depart
ment and makes him an Admiral
in the Territory of Alaska Navy.
The opening of <the ferry makes
it possible for tourists to make a
complete circuit on the Alaska
tour when driving their own oars.
It operates twice weekly.
