Plan New Border
Station at Tok
A new government station to
house border inspection facilities
on the Alaska Highway is being
planned for Tok Junction at an
estimated cost of $1,(541,000 for
offices, employee quarters, sta
tion garage and other facilities
as well as site acquisition and de
sign.
General Services Administra
tion. which distributed a construc
prospectus to U. S. Senate and
House Public Works Committees,
estimates the building would con
tain 29.J00 square feet and house
a total personnel of seven, con
sisting of three each from the
Customs Service and from the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service and one from the Bureau
of Land Management.
Consideration was given to
building a U. S. border station
nearer the actual border at Scot
tie Creek in near proximity to
the opposite Canadian port of en
try at Mirror Creek. It was ap
parent. however, that this loca
tion would require construction
of a second station at Poker
Creek to serve traffic entering
the United States via the Taylor
Hihgway.
Continuation of the border sta
tion at Tok Junction will permit
a single facility to service traffic
entering Alaska from Canada
both by tltp Alaska Highway and
by the Taylor Highway.
