the employment servce’s activity

service had joined in a nationwide
campaign urging school age young
men and women to return to
school and complete their educa
tion.
At the same time, Weir also re
leased figures showing the activity
of the employment service during
August across the state. The ser
vice offices in Alaska's major
cities received applications from
1,297 persons seeking work. This
figure included 148 veterans and
591 women.

POLICY
on
REMOVAL OF SNOW BERMS
Whenever a snow berm is created by State highway maintenance forces at the
entrance to a private business or dwelling, the following policy will apply:
1. Removal of a snow berm at entrances to roadside businesses or dwellings
will be done after all snow removal required for general traffic on State highways
is accomplished, unless it is more feasible to remove such berm along with regular
operations; for example, at isolated businesses or dwellings.
2. No private driveways, service roads, parking areas or other roads which are
not part of the general-traveled way will be plowed unless special authority is so
given or unless they are necessary for the regular snow removal operations on the
highway.
3. Adequate entranceways which will permit safe access will be opened in the
snow berm. Entire frontages will not be plowed.
4. Removal of the snow berms at such entranceways will be done by State
forces when the berm placed by State snow-removal operations denies reasonable
access to the property or causes unreasonable hardship on the property owner.
5. Strictly rural and isolated exits will be given first priority in the snow berm
removal program considering the importance of the adjacent property to the safety
and welfare of the traveling public.
6. Last priority will be given to exits in urban areas where normally snow
removal operations are not the responsibility of the State.
In all the above operations, the exercise of good judgment is essential. Since
the taxpayers’ money is involved,care must be taken not to provide excessive, unwar
ranted service to private individuals but only to provide assistance in those instances
where the actions of our State forces create undue expense or hardship to the property
owner.
