thousands of federal employees in
the Anchorage area are delinquent
in paying territorial income taxes

will be a subject of hot discussion
in the legislative session convening
in Juneau January %.
The Times estimated at least 1000
residents of this area failed TO pay
Alaska income taxes due last March
is. on 1949 income. Meantime the
deadline is approaching for pay
ments on 1850 income.
People who fail to pay income
taxes are inviting sales tax in
Alaska" said Sen. Gunnard Enge-
breth, Anchorage Republican.
Sen. Steve McCutcheon, Demo-
crat, declared the territory must
prosecute these people and enforce
the tax laws"
William E. Bittner, tax collector
in charge of the Anchorage. office,
said his staff was swamped in get
ting delinquent tax notices in the
mail. Besides notifying taxpayers OF
failure to pay on 1949 income, the
notices assess a 25 percent penalty
plus six percent interest.
IF the territory can't enforce the
income tax said Engebreth. ssome
other method of raising revenue
must be sought. The territory must
have money. If one-third or two
thirds of the taxpayers do not pay
taxes the same attitude will be
taken by others"
Both Senators said they were in
formed only few government
agencies cooperate with the terri
tory in collection of taxes from

Fresh Waves Screaming Reds Slammed Boo

should be possible to move in al
the explosives needed for Haines
before and after the canning season
at which time, it is understood that
this dock could not be used for the
purpose. While the Coast Guard is
examining this location, it would be
appreciated if they would appraise
the capacity of the Port Chilkoot
dock for the landing of explosives.
Skagway-It is requested that the
Coast Guard examine the port OF
Skagway and indicate what limita-
tons are necessary at the White
Pass and Yukon dock.
Sitka = 1t is contemplated that
consignments of explosives will go
to Sitka in the near future. 1t is
requested that the Coast Guard APP
praise the situation there and ad-
wise the necessary restrictions on
the present docks.
Juneau-It had been agreed by all
concerned that the du Pont dock, 3
miles south of Juneau on Gastineau
Channel. is a satisfactory unload
ing point for explosives. It is pro-
posed to land all shipments over
500 pounds there and to distribute
them from that point as needed.
Storage facilities there are adequate
to handle all anticipated needs in
the Juneau area.
Observation-Disclosures there is no
immediate problem OF landing eX-
plosives in the Petersburg area, one
is contemplated in connection with
mining operations in the near fu-
ture. We therefore request that the
Coast Guard examine the wharf at
Scow Bay in connection with a
cannery there and determine ITS
limitations.
Wrangell - No problem is pre-
sented at Wrangell at this time, but
like Petersburg, it is possible that
mining operations in the area may
be intensified. 1t is therefore re-
ouested that the Coast Guard eX-
anime the situation there and in
dictate necessary restrictions on the
existing docks.
etchikan-Same as set forth III
present Coast Guard rules.
8. 1t is recommended that the
Coast Guard give full consideration
to the language and interpretations
of it, authority as they relate to
actual conditions found in Alaska.
1t is our belief that realistic def
milton and Interpretation of such
language and authority is urgently
needed in the light of actual physi-
cal and economic conditions exist
ing here.
4. The views expressed in the
foregoing letter were generally
concurred in by those attending the
conference held by the Coast Guard
on January 4, 1850, both those rep
resenting government agencies and
those representing private interests.
