Conllnissioner Says Heavy Traffic 10 Be Hailed on Paving

Although the unreasonable mild weather of the past two weeks is making slush of Palmer roads and highways, there is as yet no evi- dence of thawing beneath the pavement of the Anchorage High way, Frank Metcalf, territorial highway commissioner, said this week. During the peak breakup period, that highway, as we'll as all other paved stretches in the territory, will be closed to truck travel, MT. Metcalf reiterated.
 The highway commissioner es- timated that if the present warm weather holds, the highway could be counted on to remain open for another two weeks for truck trav- el MT. Metcalf said he could not attempt to estimate the length of time the stretch might remain closed, since breakup conditions vary considerably from year to year.
 The closing regulations will be made effective through the CO., operation of the territorial high way patrol. The local patrolmen will have the latest available in formation on highway conditions, and can offer the best advice as to when the strip is apt to be closed to truck traffic, the high way commissioner explained.
 Asked to define the conditions under which an emergency per init might be issued, MT. Metcalf said no rigid rules had been pre- scribed, but that each case would be judged separately at the office of Col. John Moves, Juneau head of the Alaska Road Commission.
 Local truckers, who believe their operations over the pave ment are essential, should imme- diately forward an application for an emergency permit to the Ju- neau office. Their letter of re- quest should explain the charac- ter of their business and the total tonnage that would need to be hauled as emergency freight.
 Discussed in particular was the need for prompt delivery of Val ley milk to the Anchorage mar ket. MT. Metcalf said he thought it might be possible to reopen the closed highway at special pc Continued on Page 5
