NEW BOOK TELLS
 HISTORY OF LIGHTHOUSES, LIGHTSHIPS AND MARKERS

An interesting new books, es- pecially to those interested in or running boats has been pub lished by Binsford and Mort of Portland, Ore. Entitled "Sentinels of the North Pacific," and writ ten by James A. Gibbs, Jr., well known Seattle author of sea stor- ies, the book tells the history and
 present day location of lighthous- es, lightships and various markers from San Diego to the North Pole.
 Lighthouse building on the west coast started in earnest in the early and mid-1S00's although before that, bonfire beacons had been used to aid early navigators. Such a beacon was used at Sitka in 1894 to guide Russian ships into the harbor. Twenty years later improvement reached the stage of a seal oil lamp atop Bar anof's castle. EANi
The Wrangell sentinel., 1955-11-11

Many of the early day light houses had their start with seal oil, then kater, kerosene. The lighthouse keeper earned his mon- ey trimming wicks and polish ing brass. Today, of course, all have been converted to electricity with a million or more candle power, automatic fog horns and complicated radio and radar de- vices.
 One of the most interesting chapters is on lightships and the history of the lonely vigil of the men who manned them. Gibbs tells of early wrecks and tragedies that finally inspired Uncle Sam to establish warnings at various points on the coast and he tells also of the heroic men who man. ned them - now almost forgotten through present day improve ments. It is good book, well written, and should make aids to navigation" seem a little more personal as we sail by them.

UNEMPLOYMENT FUND DOWN NEAR MILLION FROM YEAR AGO


 Balance in the A nska Unem- ployment Compensation fund as of October 31, 1855 was $3,435,- 609.19 as compared with s4,- 443,23100 year ago, accord ing to the Employment Security Commission.
 The tax features of the 1855 Act were retroactive to January l, 1855. It is not possible, how ever, to compare the effects of the new tax provisions by com pairing revenues for the calendar year to date with the first ten months of 1854. This is because the taxes attributable to the January, February, March cal endar quarter, for example, are not payable until April and therefore are usually reflected in the second quarter receipts Furthermore, the effect of the increase in taMlble base from s3,0OO to $3,6OO will probably not be fully reflected until the receipts for the last calendar quarter of 1855 have been re- corded during January and Feb- ruary of 1856.
 A comparison of receipts for the period from April 1 to Oct ober 31, inclusive, reveals that for these seven months in 1855 S2,264,940.3S were collected as compared with $2,O51, ,226.37 in 1854 an increase of about $213,0OO. T lis increase of $213,OOO is less than the $780, 900 of employee contributions which have been credited to the fund to date in 1855.
 The benefit formula of the new Act became effective July 5, 1855. During the first four months experience, benefit paw ments have aggregated $33S,- 26S.23 as comrnred with $793.- 929.S6 for t h e same four months a year ago. This de- crease of 57%o in unemployment insurance payments is largely due to a 4586 decrease in init ial claims requests.
 During the four months end- ed October 31, 1855, 4,34S un- employed workers filed for un- employment insurance as com rnred with 1868 for the same four months in 1854. One thou sand twenty of these 4,34S. or about 23%, were ineligible for any benefits because they did not meet the eligibility require ments of the 1855 Act. Only sol of the 1868, or about 1O% fal-ed to meet the $500 qualify ing wage requirement of the old ESC Act.
 There were actually only B. 32S eligible claimants so far during the current benefit year. reduction of approximately 53% below the 7.O62 eligible claimants for the same period a year ago.

If payment is not made prior to the first day of December of each year in which the tax is due pen alty of $2.50 attaches and both are collectable by suit.
 EMPLOYERS MUST FURNISH LIST OF EMPLOYEES AND PAY TAX: Whenever request by the Tax Commissioner or Deputy any employer who has people working for him who are subject to the payment of the tax, must furnish list of his OF its employees to- gether with the age of each of them to the collector, and must pay the tax due from each of them When such payment is made by the employer, the collector must give him a receipt for each tax.
 DOUBLE PAYMENT OR PAY MENT BY MISTAKE: Any person who pays the tax when he or she paid by the employer for his em- ployee when such employee is not subject thereto, has the right to claim refund of the amount paid such person should first request the school tax collector to make such refund and if this cannot be done, he should forward such re- quest to the Tax Commissioner at Juneau, giving his receipt number. Upon receipt of such request the Tax Commissioner will investigate and if he finds that the tax was paid by mistake, will make the re- fund immediately. Remember that request for refund must be made not later than ninety days after the end of the calendar year dur ing which the tax was paid.
 NON-RESIDENTS SUBJECT TO TAX: The tax is payable by resi- 1 dents as well as non-residents. If sight-seer or tourist, he or she is not required to pay the tax; but if i he or she comes to the Territory | for the purpose of engaging in bus mess or employment and actually does so, though not resident, he or she becomes liable for the pay ment of the tax.
 PURPOSE FOR WHICH TAX IS LEVIED: This tax is collected to assist in the education of the children of the Territory of Alaska.
 Your cooperation will be appre- ciated.

think!
