He request ed the re-establishmnt of a right of way on Lot 3, block g, that separates two lots and move it d few feet so there will be access. He stated that the lack of access is all that is holding up the com pletion of purchase of the land No action was taken on this due to lateness of meeting.
 Schott also stated that Rotary specifics that existing trees on

LAAk. ALASKA, JUNK 1R, is5& :. have improved considerably by the new system Of accounting con trol There are substantial in- creases in. real property taxes, he said, but a decrease in personal property taxes.
 Kincaid urged more attention to assessing, cross filing and proper collections as the next step for the City. He recommended 10 per cent arbitrary tax be levied if no filing is made. There were $40, l34. 68 taxes collectable as of March 31, 1856, the audit revealed. Kin caid also said the audit showed the City ended the year with fairly good surplus under the bud get planned.
 The Dock fund handles more money than any other City depart ment, it was brought out in the report. There was a shortage of about 5000 in 1855. There has always been a shortage" Kincaid said. A new bookkeeping system that was set up last week should cut down the shortage, it was stated. Kincaid suggested an inter i'm audit on the dock operations every three or four months to dis cover the source of shortage. There has been a substantial gain in the dock operation. On the other hand, Kincaid said, there is no way of telling if the operation is making or losing money. as no system of depreciation has been established.
 Tn closing hlS adult report, Kin caid gave high praise to the City Clerk and office staff at City hall, when he stated: "The overall status of the general funds records has improved during the past year. The improvement in the ac- counting of the property tax clear ly indicates this trend, and the of- flee personnel must be compii. rfsented for their efforts in this matter"
 It was revealed that two pay ments of $5,200 are still due on the. City Dock. Council discussed advisability of paying the total amount when payment is due next September, thus transferring title of the property to the City from the War Assets Administra- ton, from whom the property was purchased.
 This action would not only give title to the City, but would clear up the ownership of the land sold to the Kodiak Cold Storage Com pany some years ago, for which clear title has not been given. Back taxes are due on the prop erty, and an effort is being made to collect them. The City Attorney, in answer to a query by Council, advised that the City had a right to sell the property for taxes due. Wallace George of Juneau, largest stockholder in the company, has been so advised by the City Mana ger.

LETTER
To the Editor

Dear Sir:
Some time ago I. had the plea
sure of being an invited guest of
the Civil Air Patrol to be flown
by an Army plane over the entire
state of Delaware. 1t was amaz-
ing to view the beauty of the
state, especially those gorgeous
farm lands, railroad center, and
waterways. Lett us agree, how
ever, that this great state has
what is needed and can be devel-
oped into one of the top rating
states of the nation.
My interest has been very much
aroused by a story edited in the
Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer of
July 1, which definitely tells us
the attitude of heads of industries
and their refusal to settle in the
state of Pennsylvania. 1 was a
resident of Pennsylvania for SO
years and continue to own real
estate there, but I was forced out
of business because of lack of en-

believe that our future is
waiting for us and we should urge
the Chamber of Commerce of our
community to make proper con-
tact and invite the heads of in
dustries to survey our area and
prove to them that we do have
something to offer, and that the
proper industrial foundation now
be laid for the future years.
Since statistics show that Penn
sylvania's annual recurring taxes
on manufacturing corporations are
more than 500 greater than those
of the surrounding states includ-
ing Delaware, the state of Della
ware can assure any industry the
lowest amount of taxation. Let's
get them in.
Industry must be made to feel
welcome in this state. 1t should
have an atmosphere which will
encourage it to locate here. Let's
invite industry in and if we can
achieve this, this states industrial
growth will be phenomenal. Other
communities have been favored by
industries we have been by-passed.
I hope you will give this mat
ter your sincere consideration. I
shall be grateful to assist if and
when needed, likewise I know
that all business men will do their
part.
