Collection Offices Are Now Open af Anchorage
 and Fairbanks

With the appointment of two new deputy collectors and the zoning of the Territory for collection purposes, the Internal Revenue Bureau is ready to handle the government s share of defense payrolls now going into the pockets of the rapidly in- creasing population of Alaska, ac- cording to Clark Squire, Collector of Internal Revenue, who stopped in Juneau late yesterday afternoon on his way south on the Aleutian, after about two weeks of recognizing the bureau set-up.
 The change arranged by Squire will see zone collection offices open ed at Anchorage and Fairbanks, in addition to the Juneau office. Tn charge of the Fairbanks office will be Peter Gatz, formerly in the Seat tie office of the bureau. Heading the Anchorage office will be Cecil Minaker, former Valdez attorney and new appointee of the bureau. The Juneau office will continue under the supervision of Wesley c. Overby.
 Sullivan to Advise
 Under the reorganization program, O. s. Sullivan, formerly in the Ju- neau office of the bureau, will be transferred to Anchorage, where he will serve in an advisory capacity for the entire Territory, giving aid to any of the three deputies. Sullivan came to Juneau in 1894 as the first resident deputy collector of internal revenue in the Territory. In 1887, he was joined by Overby, and since that time they have worked jointly collecting for the bureau, with Ov- erby handling collections in South east Alaska and Sullivan generally in charge of collections in the In- terior and Westward.
 Under the reorganization program, the Juneau office of the bureau will handle collections for the First Di- vision of the Territory; the Fair banks office will collect internal revenue in the Second and Fourth divisions; and the Anchorage office will have charge of collections in the Third Division.
 The new set-up will see no change in brewery stamp deputies stationed in Ketchikan and Fairbanks. R. M. Hardcastle will continue to handle stamp sales to the Ketchikan brew ery and Peggy Lyle will do the stamp work in Fairbanks.
 Squire was accompanied on his trip by Harry w. Call, chief of the field division of the Tacoma office of the internal revenue bureau.
