Resolution Is Adopted

The question of levying a sales tax came in for considerable dis cusSion at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held We'd nesday. A resolution was adopted recommending the City Council give due consideration to the levy ing of the tax, to be used for the purpose of small boat harbor construction.
 Opposition to the levying of the tax was voiced by Dorothy Clark, Bill Worth and Bob Acheson. Lar " Wodlinger, local druggist, felt it was going to be an extra burden on the small business firms. The resolution passed by vote of thirteen. A committee from the Chamber met with the City Coun- cil Friday, to discuss the method of levy, amount, and what articles and services should be taxed.
 The c. of c. voted s1o0 to Alas ka Visitors Association as token contribution in their drive for funds to match those appropriated by the Alaska Legislature. Mem bers spoke in behalf of the Associ- ation. pointing out Kodiak can get it's share of the tourist business, as it has much to offer.
 The resolution on the Sales Tax follows:
 BE TT RESOLVED by the Cham Der of Commerce, of the City of Kodiak, at their special meeting on Wednesday, November g, 1855, that the following recommends ton be forwarded to the Common Council of the City of Kodiak for consideration and appropriate ac- tion:
 WHEREAS, there has long been a great demand and real need for a protective small boat harbor to furnish harbor facilities to the many residents and inhabitants of the Kodiak area engaged in com mercial fishing, and,
 WHEREAS, the subsidizing of such project through the use of Federal funds can only be obtain ed by definite indication that the Kodiak resident beneficiaries are willing and able to help themselves in the development and construc- ton of said small boat harbor, and,
 WHEREAS, the City of Kodiak does not presently have sufficient funds to enter any sort of match ing agreement with the United States Government through its agency, Alaska Public Works, and,
 WHEREAS the Kodiak area-an- ticipates an unprecedented in- crease in its transient population, which will neccessitate increased municipal expenditures for the re sultant increased need fqga police. protection, fire protection, traffic control, etc, and what limited.. funds are available within the City Treasury will be required to meet these increased municipal costs.
 NOW, THEREFORE, it is recon mended that the City Council give due consideration to the leVying of { a consumers sale tax for the spe- cific purpose of securing necessary revenue to partially defray the ex- pense of installing said small boat harbor.

FEED GRAINS-Prices are being
strengthened by heat and drouth which

will be reduced remains to be seen. Up
to late July, production seemed likely
to be about 16 million tons more than

past season. Thus far, only a small
part of that increase has been wiped
out. Carryover is to z million tons
larger than last year. The amount I'M
der government control is up only about
million tons, so that ''free'' stocks
in the carryover are larger than in 1854.
Oats and barley prices usually have
