VISITORS ASSOCIATION
PROTESTS LOSS OF
PASSENGER SERVICE
Juneau—The Alaska Visitors
Association has taken part in the
recent telegram campaign con
cerning the proposed reduction of
service between Alaska and the
states. A telegram was sent from
the Juneau office protesting the
loss of passenger service through
the possible nonrenewal of the
charter for Pacific Northern Air
lines.
Although the Alaska Steamship
Company discontinued its passen
ger service last September, it con
tiues to receive a volume of mail
from all over the world asking
about Alaskan tours. A large bun
dle of mail, covering requests for
tourist information and space on
the steamship line was recently
brought to the office of AVA. Ac
cording to the Seattle advertising
manager of the Alaska Steamship
Company, an arrangement has
been made whereby these re
quests are being turned over to
the four airlines now serving Al
aska.
With the loss of all surtace pas
senger transportation, the Alaska
Visitors Association feels that
Alaska cannot stand any further
curtailment of tourist accomoda
tions to Alaska.

that the City take immediate steps
to cut expenses and pointed out
that the telephone department
shows about $400 less expenses
this month over last month. The

for the loan, he said, would be
to live up to council motions as
passed in the past two months and
cut expenses.
Councilwoman Mick said she
did not see where the City could
economize in any amount with
out jeopardizing the welfare of
the city. Following the failure of

880 PURCHASE
1955-56 LICENSES
By the first of the year ap
proximately 880 driver’s licen
ses had been purchased in the
Palmer U. S. Commissioner’s
office. In addition approxi
mately 50 trucks and 110 cars
had been licensed.
Tags for the 1955 year must
be purchased and attached to
the vehicle number plates be
fore February 28. ,
It has been estimated that
around 2,000 persons in the
valley area are eligible for
driver’s licenses. Although
1953-54 driver’s licenses expir
ed on December 31, 1954, the
figure of 880 would indicate
that less than half the number
have purchased a license. New
licenses will be good for the
years 1955 and 1956 and cost
$4.00. Vehicle tags are good
for one year only, and are sold
at the same rate as in 1954.
