Oliver, acting Territor-} al Attorney General, today in- tructed U. S. District Attorney Plummer at Anchorage to file a test suit in U. S. District Court there agaihst the City of Anchor- ge in order to determine the le- Wity of Territorial claims for non- ment of the Territorial Veter- ar Tax by the municipally owned ower and light company. The City of Anchorage claims hat it is exempt from paying the tax because it is a branch of the Territorial Government and that tk also excuses the city owned power system from complying with the provisions of the tax law. The City also claims that the Veterans A itself, is in violation of the Territorial Organic Act. Oliver maintains that the pow- er company is a proprietory busi- ness and not a normal governmen- tal function and thus, comes under the provisions of the tax law. He said. that if the Territory’s suit is successful, the City will be forced to pay an estimated tax of $1,000 per month. > PROPERTY CnaNGE> | ® Recent property changes record- ed by the U. S.
