CHECKING CARS, LICENSES
Bob Brandt, Territorial Highway Patrol Officer, who visited Nome twice last year, and just recently returned from the F.B.I. school in Washington, D.C., is in Nome checking on cars and licenses.
Mr. Brandt is the second Alaskan to attend the school, and spent four months in the Capitol.
He states that he has found the people of Nome to be very co-operative in complying with the rules of his department although he has seen a few cars in town with last year's license plates on them.
Mr. Brandt states the U. S. Commissioner has both plates and licenses available and urges that everyone get their plates immediately.
He also observes that a few cars bear license plates from the States and warns resident Alaskans they must have Alaskan plates on their cars.
Tourists are allowed the use of their plates from the States for 90 days from the time of their arrival in Alaska.
Mr. Brandt returned from the States to Fairbanks over the Alcan Highway, making the trip in four days from Edmonton, and says the road was in very good condition.
He stated the customs had registered 112 cars for the month of July entering Alaska over the highway, and are expecting an increasing number this month.
