Frangell Is Third Place in Importance
 h First Division

Juneau Federal license taxes collected in the First Division 1ur'ro the calendar year 1921 Iotaled SIP, 351. 67. according to figures compiled in the office of Clerk of the U. S. District Court and made public today.
 In five out of the eight incor- porated towns in the division, decreases are shown, three, Wrangell, Haines and Sitka col lections were larger. The last mentioned, however, was not in- corporated until the beginning of the third quarter in 1920 and there was proportionately de. crease in the receipts from unin- corporated districts, leaving only Wrangell and Haines showing any actual increase. The decline in receipts from Petersburg was radical. those of 1920 being vir- tually 200 per cent greater than those of last year, that town dropping from third to sixth place in rank. Wrangell ad- vanced from fourth to third place.
