Servicemen Exempted
From City Licenses
For Personal Cars

JUNEAU, R-The State At
torney Generals Office said that
federal law eXempts nonresident
servicemen from paying city taxes
and license fees on automobiles
operated for personal use only.
The opinion was issued at the
request of Rodger Pegues, Direc-
tor of the states Local Affairs
agency.
Pegues said military authorities
had complained that the City of
Ketchikan had been insisting that
servicemen stationed there pay a
motor vehicle tax or license fee.
The military authorities, Pegues
said, insisted the servicemen are
exempt from payment of the
tax under the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Relief Act of 1910. The State
Attorney Generals Office agreed.
The opinion decribed non-resi-
dent servicemen as those who are
in the state solely because of
military orders and who were not
residents of Alaska prior to en-
tering military service.

City Council
Meeting Notes

The State Department of Health
has advised the City of Nome
that its sanitary facilities are un-
satisfactory and that honey buck
cts are not approved for munich
palities. Amos Alter of that de-
partment recommended that the
city take steps to apply for sewer
and water system.
The letter came as surprise to
the council as it has had applica-
tons in for several years for such
system.
The expenditure of $28696 was
approved by the City Council for
firefighting equipment recon-
mended by the fire instructor
who was here during the summer
and who gave valuable training
to the local department.
The City building has been ex-
tended on the south end of the
fire hall with the addition of an
extra building SO that both fire
trucks could fit into the heated
building.
Complaints were received from
Bob Cannon and James Healthier
on the Ralph Olanna property
at 5th and D Street as being
health hazard and asking the city
to take action to have it cleaned
up.
A letter from Don Hoover, re-
ceiver for the North Star, ex-
planned that he could not pay the
back sales taxes and that prior
claims were not allowed by the
court at this time.
A letter was received from the
Home Arts Club giving the City
the playground equipment which
was purchased last summer and
installed at the King Island Viii
lage. The matter was turned over
to committee to investigate
whether the city should accept
this or if it should be turned over
TO the klng Island Village dlf-
ectly.
Jim O'Sullivan of the Alaska
Steamhip Co. appeared before the
council stating that the Lomen
Commercial Co. was unable to
collect certain sales taxes from
construction companies who have
refused payment and urged the
city to take action against them.
Tabled for lack of time was an
offer of Eli Mulch to sell his pro-
perty for city playfield at the
appraised value and half of the
value of a demolished building.
Councilman Al Doyle presided
in the absence of the mayor.

created a problem Of nerves
for the house manager as acute
as that of the critics waiting
for the rise of the curtain.
Indeed, considerable part of
opening night excitement is
that attaching to getting the
play started after the weeks of
preparation to get it "on."
BUT NOT IN SUMMER: NO
body in theater management
has the courage to do anything
about summer theater curtain
times. This is the season when
theatergoers are relaxed. an
attitude that has resulted in
curtains as late as q pm. at
Candlelight theater and almost
as late at Carter Barron and
Olney.
Occasionally, at Carter Bar
ron this has caused considerable
subsurface excitement that is
largely missed by the audience.
It has to do with nights on
which the weather is alive with
perfidy. storms collecting on
the horizon and visible on the
radar but not to audiences
sitting under an innocent look
ing twilight sky.
For the most logical Of
reasons-the desire to get in
at least half a show as baseball
owners desire to bet four and
one-half innings played-man-
agements want to start at least
at the advertised time. They
would like to wait politely for
laggard ticket holders but not
at the prospect Of having to
rain check several thousand
others who managed to arrive
on time.
Among summer theaters. the
real dilemma in this area is
that of Olney. AS in the case
of so many theaters from
Maine to San Diego, Olney
this summer dropped back to
day-late reviews, against it's
own and the newspapers
intentions.
The main reason for this
had no relation to the weather
or even the dawdling Of that
always sluggish small percent
age Of the audience. It grows
rather out of the fact that
Olney. once a real country
theater. now lies but little
beyond the Washington urban
area. It presents the problem
Of an entirely different traffic
pattern than it did IS years ago.

experience the idea is that
things should be a little more
crisp.
The history of the 8 O'Clock
" opening night curtain here is
one that is not thoroughly
understood.
It is an extension of the
New York system which several
seasons ago was offered as a
boon to the morning newspaper
critics of Manhattan: all critics
in fact since they work on ap-
proximately the same schedules.
What is not understood about
it here is that Washington's
three critics did not ask for
, an earlier opening night
curtain. To a man. they ac-
tually held out against it for
three or four years. not that
they could not use the boon
: of an extra 80 or 40 minutes
but that it might be too great
an inconvenience to too many
theatergoers.
In all candor, as lost battles
60, this was one of the happiest
in the history of the theater
and the local critics could not
be more grateful to first
nighters for having shared the
I loss so gracefully.
