Wash. Sales Tax
 Not To Apply To
 Autos For Alaska

During August of this year the attorney generals office was in formed that Alaskans pure lasin automobiles through local dealers with arrangements to take del.v cry at Seattle with the purpose driving in the States before ship ping the car to Alaska, were De ing subjected to the Washington State sales tax of 3To. Upon in quiry, it was found that such prac- tice had not been carried out i!N such cases until 1941.
 A letter was sent by the attor- ney generals office to the State tax commission at Olympia, Wash ington, protesting said practice, pointing out that only the whole sale phase of such purchases by was effectuated at Seat tie, that the tax in question was a retail sales tax, and
The Nome nugget., 1946-11-11

that therefore, the subjectlon oi Alaskan purchasers to such tax, when buying through an Alaska dealer, was illegal and should be stopped.
 After long deferred considera- ton by the Washington State Tax Commission, a letter was dis patched to the Attorney General at Juneau, under date of October 3, l946, stating that the Alaska viewpoint was correct and that the Washington retail sales tax did not apply in such cases. The tax com mission also said that only certain Seattle wholesalers had a9olied the tax to such cases and that they were being notified to cease such practice. It was also stated that the attorney for the automobile dealers association had been noti- fled so that he could in turn take the matter up with all Washington automobile distributors.
 The tax commissioners ruling was based upon the presumption that an Alaskan who obtains de- livery of a car under the circum- stances above stated would be prepared to equip said car with an auto license issued by the Terri tory of Alaska. This might appear to conflict with the Territorial law which requires owners of au- tomobileS to obtain certificates of ownership before or in conjunc- ton with applications for vehicle licenses. However, under the 1946 amendment to the vehicle regis tration law, conditional certifi- cates of ownership may be issued to cover persons who operate au- melodies under conditional sales contracts, so M. P. Mullaney, tax commissioner, has stated that Alaskans who have ordered cars through a local dealer and are about to proceed to Seattle to pick

RACETRACK FUND
NOT EXCESSIVE

The prediction that Monroe
county VIII receive $4,000 of
racetrack funds this season APP
peared not to be excessive when
County Clerk Ross c. Sawyer
informed the commissioners, at
a meeting last night, that a check
for $4,000 had already been -re=
ceived.
That was the first of three or
four other payments, Mr.. Saw
year explained, and added that,
in former years, the first pay
ment amounted to approximate
ly $4,000.
OF the $4,000 already re-
ceived, it will be divided equal
ly between the public schools
in this district and the county
government. All other sums re-
ce.ved will be divided in the
same way. and the receipts the
schools will obtain in this way
will be a boon to them, particu-
larly in building up the faculties
by paying better salaries.

SAY SKIES WITHIN
LAW AT GARDENS
RESOLUTION ALLOWS HIM TO
REMOVE ALL
PLANTS

Former Acting City Manager
w. w. Demeritt, in a report to
the city commission last night,
advised that Mr.. Skies is within
his legal rights in removing plants
from the Botanical Gardens.
According to a resolution adopt
ed by the city he can remove all
plants with the exception of a
reasonable amount for the city's
use.
MIR. Demeritt recommended
that a caretaker be appointed to
offset possible vandalism when
Mr.. and Mrs. Skies leave the
Garden for their new nursery on
Sugarloaf Key in about six
weeks.
One of the principal reasons
for the poor shape the Garden is
in the difficulty of getting
negro labor to work at the Gar
dens on Stock Island, Mr.. Demer-
lit said.
The cocOnut trees across the
road from the Garden have not
been removed, except for one, on
authority of city council of last
