AUDITOR RAISES QUESTION ON DEAL
 TO BUY FERRY LINE

Territorial Auditor Neil Moore, in a letter to Attorney General J. Ger aid Williams today asked an off, cial opinion on the legality of ac- tion of the Territorial Road Mon day to purchase a three-fifths in- terest in the Chilkoot Motor Lines Juneau-H -Haines ferry.
 The Auditor pointed out that the Organic Act prohibits the Terri tory from making any subscrip- tion to the capital stock Of any ln- corporated company. or in any manner lend its credit for the use thereof. nor create, nor assume any indebtedness, except for actual running expenses (of the govern ment) thereof"
 Moore also pointed out the prob lem of Federal and Territorial taxes. The Territory is exempt from taxation but other partners and stockholders are not. He asked the Attorney General what provi- sion had heen made, therefore, for handling of taxes.
 Moore concluded his letter by saying that until such matters were clearly defined and decided upon he would dis-allow any vouchers for purchase of the ferry line.
 Moore said that although he, personally, was against the Terri sory entering into any present or potential competition With private Industry, the only way he could see for the Territory to acquire the lerry line would be ii the present stockholders sold all of their as- sets and dissolved the corporation.
