AUTHORITIES MAKE
CAR-COUNT IN ANCHORAGE
What authorities say is the first
comprehensive study of deter
mining traffic flow and over
crowded routes in the Anchorage
area, was started one day this
week.
Thousands of automobiles were
counted around the Greater An
chorage area in an origin—and
destination - survey sponsored
jointly by the Army Air Force
and City of Anchorage. Question
naires were handed out by mil
itary police and civilian authori
ties, major Anchorage business
centers, Elmendorf Air Force
Base gateposts and at strategic
roadblocks inside the Fort Rich
ardson reservation.
The car count will permit
planning of a more efficient and
convenient road system, officials
