advantage anh maintained the 10
point spread throughout the second
stanza for 36126 intermission bulge.
Then the unexpected happened.
Bluffton stopped running but the
Wildcats did not And by the end
of the third perioh they not only had
cut the 10 point spread but hit the
hoops for 81 ITS while the Harris
men could manage only 6 to take a

This was the end of the road for
the 1954-55 edition of the Pirate

THE SEWAGE TREATMENT
PLANT was constructed here at a
cost of Slightly more than $50 per
capita" on the basis of plant capaci-
ty, the quarterly publication of the
Ohio Water. Pollution Control Board
reports. TheNayerage per capita cost
in villages, according to a recent
study of the Board is $53, with a
maximum of $8S and a minimum of
S33. This was slightly higher than
in the cities where the average was
found to be $B6 with a maximum of
$50 and a minimum of $26.
These comparisons, of course, in
clude only the cost of the treatment
plant. The cost of laying interceptors
to bring the sewage to a central point
was more expensive here than the
plant itself.

tOrlal POnce dpprOprIdtlOn be transferred from the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund to the General Fund and that all the monies spent on the Highway Patrol and Terri torial Police in this biennium be refunded to the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund.
 4.
 We request that the Legislature petition Congress that Alaska be permitted to participate in the proposed Federal Road program, emphasizing that the Teller Nome Rampant Fairbanks road will ultimately become a link in the International Highway that now extends from South America to Fairbanks.
 We request that the Legislature pass legislation enabling the Ter ritorial Police to explore the pos abilities of establishing a station in Nome to serve the Second Divi- sion.
 We urge the Legislature to re- quest the Department of Interior to continue to aid the reindeer industry and assist natives in es- tablishing additional herds in the Second Division.
 ?.
 We oppose any curtailment of the existing stateside air service to Alaska and request the Legis- lature to 50 memorialize to Con- gress and the President of the United States.
 Be 1t further resolved that in- stead of any such reduction, pres ent stateside air terminal status should be continued, encourage ment should be given to the air. lines which serve this huge north ern region to improve and in crease this service and to this end to bring about greater inter grafton so as to provide through service between local northern communities and outside centers of populations, particularly with the cities of the Pacific North west, which are the natural points of contact with the Northland, and that all appropriate United States Government agencies be urged to promote further studies of air transportation for this area in order to provide additional service as economic conditions justify and to furnish the Terri tory with the best possible air transportation practical.
 We urge that the Legislature memorialize Congress to allow 25 per cent of wages earned in private industry and wages paid Territorial employees be tax free, the same as Federal employees are granted 25 per cent tax free "cost of living" allowance.
 g.
 We urge that the United States Commissioner be put on yearly salary basis.
 10.
 To authorize Territorial main tenance and operation of airports in or near cities of 500 population or more.

Der Of Commerce approves the recommendations as set forth by the Board of Road Commissioners in their report dated Dec. 10, 1854.
 l. Recommend that the law be changed so as to allow the Terri tory the right to sell or lease prof. ects in order to allow the cities and districts to levy charge against the people actually bene- fitting from the project and thus helping to meet maintenance costs.
 2. Recommend that the Terri torial Police appropriation be transferred from the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund to the General Fund and that all the monies spent on the Highway Patrol and Territorial Police in this biennium be refunded to the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund account.
 3. Recommend that the tax on motor vehicles be increased to 4c a gallon but that the. increase should not apply on stationary engines. This increase to be ear marked for the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund to be spent on Territor- ial roads.
 {. Recommend that appropriate legislation be passed for covering the annual motor vehicle license fees into the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund instead of the General Fund.
 5. Recommend that all receipts from the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund shall remain in the revolv-. ing fund and not be diverted into the General Fund.
 6. The Board of Road Commis sioners strongly urges the Terri torial Legislature not to earmark any portion of the motor fuel oil tax funds collected in the Terri tory for refund to municipalities of public utility districts.
 2. The Board adopted the fol- lowing resolution: WHEREAS the Territorial Highway Engineer or the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners were not consult ed in regard to the construction of forest development roads, BE TT RESOLVED that the responsi- bility for maintenance of forest development TO ds, including snow removal thereon, shall not be accepted by the Territory ex- cept in such cases as have been approved by the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners after a study by the Territorial Highway Engineer.

 g. The Board urges the exten- sion of the Livengood road to Eureka and then to. Rampant.
 10. Whereas the language of the Act defining the work to be un- dertaken under the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund is vague and the Attorney Generals opinion is also indefinite; therefore the Board should adopt the policy that the merits of each case of flood con trol support have to be considered separately, that the Board consid- CT that the wording of Section 48-5-1 ACLA l949 and Chapter 80 SLA 1851 creating the Motor Fuel Oil Tax Fund for financing roads, and harbor and water fac

 WHEREAS the mining industry of Alaska is at it's lowest ebb, and, WHEREAS every possible in centive should be provided by the Federal Government of the Uni ted States to stimulate this basic industry in Alaska,
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE TT RE- SOLVED that the Nome Chamber of Commerce does support this measure as follows:
 Many of our tax rates are still too high to leave. incentive for maximum economic effort and in itiative.
 The overall tax rate on income of the individual or of the corpor- ation should not in any case ex- ceed 50 percent.
 While a start has been made in an allowance to stockholders on dividends with respect to taxes paid by corporations, the principle should be further extended, and depletion allowed to a mining corporation should be carried through to the stockholder on some equitable basis.
 Substantial improvement has been made in depreciation provi- sions and in their administration, but here is still need that the tax benefit rule should be fully ap- piled.
 The limitations on deductibility of exploration expenses have been somewhat eased, but such limita- tons should be completely elirni- hated.
 Tax exemption should be grant ed a new mine for three years. Capital gain should be taxed at more moderate rates.
