Anchorage City Dads
Vote Strict Bike Rules

ANCHORAGE - Strict enforce
ment of city ordinances which class
ify bicycles the same as motorcycles
will be inaugurated in the near fu-
ture It was announced today by the
police department in a move to rid
the city of a traffic problem that
has arisen since completion of the
Fourth Avenue pavement.
Chief of Police Bob Huttle said
a survey showed that the sale of
bicycles in Anchorage has more than
tripled since the pavement was put
in and that many complaints have
been made of accidents or near acci-
dents.
Horns will be required on all BIZ
cycles, front and rear lights will be
necessary on all bikes used after
dark, the police chief said. Riding
of a passenger on the handle bars
is also prohibited.

instruct their children as to the
rules of the road and to see that
the bicycle equipment complies with
the city ordinances.
Riding on the wrong side Of the
street, turning in the middle of the
block and other similar violations"
were cited as the common cause of
trouble.
The city ordinance requires that
bicycles be equipped with a front
light showing white or yellow-tint-
ed rays, and a tail light showing
red. Horns are also a necessary
equipment Reflectors are not con-
sidered a light.
Chief Huttle said there is a short
age of lights in local stores at pres
ent and full enforcement of the law
will be delayed pending arrival of
supplies. Meanwhile night cyclers
will be required to carry lantern
or some other light.
Bicycles without proper equipment
will be subject to confiscation by
the police department, Chief Hut
tie said.

Says Illegal
Fishing Is Necessary

Ell Peterson, Alaska fisherman
for over 20 years. told the Congress
sional committee investigating the
fisheries industry that an indepen-
dent fishermen could not make a
living without violating the laws
laid down by the Federal govern
ment to govern the fishing indus
try. according to United Press dis
patches from Seattle on September
IA.
He said that most men want the
traps eliminated but added that the
purse seiners and the gill METERS
could absolutely not supply the
canneries and keep the salmon pack
at the same level it now IS.
He stated that so percent of the
salmon caught by seiners in the
Ketehikan and Wrangell districts
were taken in closed areas, other
wise it would be impossible Tor in
dependent fishermen to make a liy-
ing. He contended that Sunday
should be an open day so that all

Truck Drivers Test
Legality Hiway Tolls

FAIRBANKS - A suit to test the
legality of tolls on freight over the
Richardson highway. which extends
from Fairbanks to Valdez, has been
filed in district court at Fairbanks
by C: Gordon, truck driver, against
Frank Nash, superintendent of the
Alaska road commission. and Lloyd
Hansen, toll collector at Big Delta,
according to the News-Miner.
Gordon in his suit asks that re-
straining order be issued prohibit
ing all collections of tolls, He also
asks for $500 for attorney fees.
Clyde R. Ellis of Anchorage and
J. C. Winters of Fairbanks are Cor
don,s attorneys.
Preparatory to his court action,
Gordon two weeks ago refused to
pay the toll when he arrived at Big
Delta, where the road commissions
ferry crosses the Tanana river. At
that time Gordon was driving a
truck loaded with freight. The toll
is collected at Big Delta, ferry cross
ing.
Gordon, a long time resident of
Alaska and truck driver by occupa-
ton. was driving a truck belonging
to George Gilbertson, who operates
freight and passenger vehicles over
highways in the interior. The truck
carried fuel oil which had been
bought about 200 yards south of the
Big Delta ferry landing from Alfred
Ghezzi.
On the south side of the ferry,
Gordon offered to pay 81, the usual
ferry fee for taking motor vehicle
of any kind across the Tanana. The
ferryman, Hansen, refused the offer,
demanding the full toll of 215 cents
ton per mile from Valdez to Fair
banks. This rate totals 1927 a ton
for the distance, close to 372 miles.
Gordon insisted on having the
truck and its load taken across the
river by ferry, first for the sum of
81, then when that was refused, for
a toll fee of 215 cents mile per ton
for the distance, 80 miles, between
Big Delta and Fairbanks.

who notified the marshal's office of
the dispute.
Nash and Deputy u. S. Marshal
Einar It. Tonseth went to Big Delta
in an automobile. The deputy arrest
ed Gordon, brought him to town and
then Immediately released him on
his own recognizance.
The officer said when he got to
Big Delta, Gordon was blocking the
highway with his truck and was re-
fusing to pay the toll.
The truck with its load of fuel
was left near the ferry landing on
the south side of the Tanana.
Virtually all operators of motor
trucks for hire in interior Alaska
