THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1949 HOUSE PASSES BILL TO LEVY PROPERTY TAX m page ong) contmues ratic platform, which took a stand for the property tax, as one of the reasons for passing the bill Rep. Jensen said he didn't believe any party commitment should be a factor in consideration of the merits of the bill. “Even if Mr. Jensen's figures are izht on what other taxes will pro- duce, wouldn't it be a good thing to have a reserve?” Rep. McCutch- eon wanted to know. : Rep. Frank Angerman, Fairbanks Democrat, argued that the bill “is largely for getting those who have been tax free outside the cities.” “I for one, was sent here for that purpose,” Angerman said. Exemption Fails Rep. Andrew Hope, Sitka Demo- crat and chairman of the Fisher- ies Committee in the House, made an unavailing eifort to have the bill amended to provide a $10,000 exemption on personal property for the benefit of fishing boat owners. Changes in the bill had con- formed to the wishes of other in- terests but “we haven't in any way nelped the fisherman,” Hope said. “1 appreciate Mr. Hope's loyalty to his constituents,” Rep. McCutch- eon said, “but I remind you that this is a .revenue measure. a $10,000 exemption we destroy the value of the bill.” As finally passed, the bill pro- vides for a $2500 exemption on personal property. The rate of tax is set at 10 mills or one per cent and all revenues collected within municipalities, school districts or other special dis- tricts will be refunded in full to the cities or districts. A last-minute amendment, made with an eye on the projected pulp mills in Southeast Alaska, provides a special temporary exemption for new construction during the year of construction or for a longer per- iod if required, but not exceeding three taxable years. - MISSIONARY SOCIETY IS MEETING TONIGHT |’ The Missionary Society of the Memorial Church is meeting this | evening at 7:30 o'clock, at 1003 Tenth and B.

' Imon By vy i, to Lmr With ¢ CHAMBER TAKES UP TAXATION AT | MEETING TODAY Taken under consideration at the Chamber meeting today was a re- port recelved from the Seattl Chamber of Commerce that it hac Leen informed by a representativc 5¢ the Ketchikan Pulp and Timbe Company that if the taxation pro jram now being considered ty the Territorial Legislature, were enact- ed it would preclude any further consideration by this firm of thej Alaska pulp industry. The pulp of—l fic'al had been informed that onc [ Lill proposes to tax pulp at the rate | |of $8.00 a ton and that a property tax of 20 mills would be collected‘ annually. ' A protest was also received by the Chamber from the Juncau Ves- | isel Owners on the propssed tax on alibut and sable. They stated that the 4 percent tax on raw fish is discriminatory and if enacted would drive the fishermen from Alaskan | ports to Prince Rupert. : President Fred Eastaugh reiterat- d the Chamber’s stand on taxation 1ls which was approved last week; amely, that no recommendations ill te made by the Chamber on the ecitic methods of taxation pro- posed in the Legislature. | Curtis Shattuck, Chairman of the| egislative Committee, stated that 2 stond of the pulp owners and e ralibut fishermen are closely related in that taxation should | neither drive people from the Ter- r'tory or ke detrimental in the es- | | tablishment of new basic indus- | iries in Alaska. He stated that therel {is only a slight chance that either 1of the taxation bills will pass at| the special session and at his sug-| gestion the Chamber agreed to table | oth reports and refer them back o the Legislative Committee for {urther study. ! A resoluton was received rrom‘| the Ketchikan Chamber of Com-| merce requesting that the Territor- iial Legislature consider an effective tion which will in-| industries to estab- method of tax: (duce new basi ish in Alaska. 1 The Ketchikan Chamber also ask- ed the Juneau Chamber to give their support to the new Statehood ch has been introduced into by Delezate E.
