Highway Travel Rises
Twenty-five percent more ve
hicles travelled the Alaska

last month than in February,
1960, T. D. Sherard, Director of
the Alaska Division of High
ways, reported today.
The 676 vehicles, which car
ried 1,612 passengers into Alas
ka, resulted in 18 percent more
persons travelling the highway
into this State, Sherard said.
The highway director report
ed that February traffic, a
slight decline from January
which in turn was approximate
ly 50 percent above the preced
ing month of December.
Traffic within the state in
creased by more than 7 percent,
he said, with six of nine traffic
check points showing an in
crease over last month s traffic.
The Sterling Highway check,
six miles east of Soldotna,
showed an increase of 43 per
cent over February, 1960.
This was below only the
Richardson Highway figure of
153 percent increase which was
attributed to the military oper
ation, “Willow Freeze.”
William Howard Taft was the
first U S. president to use an
automobile while in office.
