9,246 CAME NORTH DURING 1q47 OVER
 kLASkA HIGHWAY
Over 3,7OO Vehicles Also Entered Alaska During
 Six-Month Period

Travellers entering Alaska over the Alaska Highway during the calender year 1947 numbered 9,246, according to figures compiled by the Alaska District Office, U. S. Department of Commerce, Juneau, from records of the U. s. Gus toms Service.
 Figures are available only on northbound traffic entering AL aska from Canada at the Customs stations at Tok Junction and Haines. Although these figures cover a small amount of local traf- fic between Alaska and adjacent British Columbia and Yukon Ter ritory, Canada, they are, on the whole, an accurate index of the total volume of traffic over this famous war-built route in the first full peacetime year for which fig ures are available
 A total of 8,240 persons in 3,290 vehicles, including busses, en- tered central Alaska at Tok June tion. The Haines Highway, branch road leading from the main Alaska Highway in Yukon Territory to Haines in southeast Alaska, accounted for 1,006 per- sons in 497 vehicles, including busses, in the six-months period that it was open from June to November.

Monthly Average

The traffic entering Alaska ranged from a high of 738 vehicles With 1882 passengers in July to low of 60 vehicles with l33 paSseng- CTS in December. The monthly av- craze over the year amounted to 3l5 vehicles and ITO passengers.
 This volume of traffic into Al- aska by highway is significant in view of the fact that the portion of the Highway in Canada re- mained throughout the year sub ject to traffic restrictions by the Canadian authorities which pre- vented tourists or pleasure travel CTS from using the route. Travel permits are required of all per sens using the highway except Canadian or United States service personnel travelling on duty, or persons travelling by bus. Permits are issued only to persons having business along the highway or in Alaska, prospectors, settlers, or or ganized hunting parties who can show that their vehicles are road worthy and that they have a re- quired minimum Of spare parts and supplies.
