TRAFFIC OVER ALASKA HIWAY
REACHES ALL-TIME HIGH
• Traffic over the Alaska Highway
reached an unprecedented height
during the 1949 tourist season from
May through August when 3437
automobiles carrying 8932 passen
gers into Alaska were cheeked by
U. S. Customs inspectors at Tok
Junction, it has been announced by
the Alaska Development Board.
Statistics were provided by Frank
A. Metcalf, Territorial Highway j
Engineer.
The peak month was July when
1147 automobiles with 3035 passen
gers entered Alaska through Tok
Junction.
For the first eight months of the
year, 5258 automobiles carrying
12,907 passengers made the 1500!
mile trip over the highway into
interior Alaska. That is an increase
of 794 cars and 1837 passengers
over the full 12 month period last
year.
Above figures do not include
vehicles and passengers entering

Soc. Security Returns
More Frequent
(Continued from Page 1)
wages only up to $3,000 in one
calendar year. However, each em
ployer is required by law to deduct
taxes on wages up to $3,000 paid
to each employee.
The Federal Social Security Ad
ministration keeps a record of
wages paid to an employee as
reported by his employer, Browne
said. In this report, the employer
is required to show the name and
Social Security account number of
each person who worked for him
during a calendar quarter, and the
total amount of taxable wages
| paid to each employee. The em
ployer sends this report, along
with.the required tax payment, to
the Collector of Internal Revenue.
Since Social Security taxes are
i paid to the Collector of Internal
Revenue, the Federal Social Se
curity Administration does not
handle the claims for these special
tax refunds, Browne pointed out.
To get such a refund, the worker
must apply to the nearest office
of the Collector of Internal Reve
nue within two years after the
year in which the taxes are paid.
If you want to claim a special
tax refund of Social Security tax
in excess of $30 deducted from
your wa&es, write to, or call at,
the nearest office of the Collector
of Internal Revenue and ask for the
proper forms, Browne advised. In
the Territory there is an office of
the Collector of Internal Revenue
in Ketchikan, Juneau, Anchorage,
and Fairbanks.
