AVIATION INCREASES
 IN ALASKA
Aeronduiies Operations Report Shows Practically
 All Phases Boosted

The Aeronautics Operation Sum mary Report just issued by D. L. Reynolds. Supervisor, for the year ending June 30. l940 shows a con- tinued increase during the year of all phases of aviation services in the Territory of Alaska, with the excep- ton of passenger miles. In com parison to that activity of the year ending June 30, 1889. the amount of decrease is very slight, decreasing only 56.0e0 miles. or 096qo less than last year. On the other hand, the number of passengers flown during this year increased 1921, or 5l2 C more than last year, while the num- Der of plane miles increased over 1899 in the amount of 350000 miles, or nearly 119o. Compared to last years totals, the number of trips of the air services of Alaska increased this year about 259o, and the num- per of hours flown incerased nearly 109c.
 Freight Handled
 The amount of freight hauled by planes increased 305,000 pounds in the past year, or about 82o over l939. The pounds of mail carried by planes also increased during the past year ,3o5oo pounds, or 6@a more than 1939. It is expected that the pounds of mail hauled by planes will increase even more during the coming year due to the recent in- aueural of air mail service from the continental United States.
 In comparing the totals for sep arate months of the year ending June 30, 194o. with the totals of the identical months of the year ending June 30. 1939. it is found that the totals for months of November and February show the greatest average increases in all phases of activity.
