Resident Non-resident Affected by Law
JUNEAU, August 20 — Alaska’s
New Safety Responsibility Law
applies to all drivers or owners
of motor vehicles who have acci
dents involving death, injury or
property damage over $200 whe
ther the car is driven by an Alas
ka resident or not, Superintendent
of State Police, A. P. Brandt, re
minded today.
*
“It affects residents, non-resi
dents who may be assigned to
this state by private business or
the U.S. Government, and tourists.
It makes no difference whether
the car is registered in Alaska
or not. All drivers or owners must
report such accidents on an official
form within five (5) days after
the accident. Service personnel
should pay particular heed to this
requirement, inasmuch as many
such personnel do have driver’s
licenses from other state and have
their cars registered in other
states. They are subject to the
same law as Alaska residents while
driving in this state.
“The provisions for suspension
of driver’s licenses when drivers
or owners do not have adequate
automobile liability insurance or
avoid suspension through some
other provision of the law will be
come effective in \laska and also
in the home state of people who
have licenses in other states. This
is possible, because of cooperative
arrangements between states. Of
ficial report forms may be ob
tained from any state or local
police office, insurance agent or
from the Provost Marshal of ser
vice bases.”

This is Alaska.. ■ Wood-burning sternwheelers were once a familiar sight on Alaska's rivers. They carried gold
miners, candles and kerosene to Dawson City in 1898, were the only link for many towns with
the outside world.
Today, efficient diesel boats and barges carry on this romantic way of life. Working fast during
the ice-free summer, they haul in everything from food to fishhooks that a community will need
until the next thaw.
Since Gold Rush days, an important riverboat cargo has been Standard's petroleum products...
fuels for boats, waterproofing materials, heating oils, kerosene, lubricants, military fuels. A
complete line of essential petroleum products has been available for three-quarters of a century
wherever and whenever Alaskans have needed them.
