PAGE EIGHT ° FISH TRAP TAX CASE| PROBABLY GOES T0, JUDGE TOMORROW ave ! | | | i Although previous estimates fallen short of the actual time con- sumed, attorneys in the fishtrap tax hearing now in District Court predicted at press time that all the evidence would se completed in this afternoon's session They guessed that arguments and rebut- tal should be concluded tomorrow noon or early afternoon, the case then to be taken under advisement by Judge George W. Folta. In the suit brought against Commissioner M. P. Mullan by P. E. Harris and Company, with partners in the Mutual Trap Com- pany as intervenors, Attorney Gen- eral J. Gerald Williams called a number of witnesses today, in his presentation of the case for the defense. W. C. Arnold, co-counsel for plaintiff and intervenors, ~who testified last week for his clients after Willlams waived objection, was called as a defense witness to- day, and questioned on comparative prices of trap-caught and seine-j caught fish. i He succeeded Paul O. Nielsen on the stand. Nielsen, Seattle C.P.A who has audited the books of the Mutual Trap Company since it: inception, had been the intervenoi only witness. Williams examined him on the financial interests of the Mutual partners in salmon canning companies. Pursuing a line of yesterday's questioning on the night-catching of salmon, Assistant Attorney Gen- eral John H. Dimond called Andy Barlow to the stand this morning. Dimond’s examination and Arnold’s cross-examination pertained to the capability of standing and mobile gear for catching fish at night. Tax Succeeding Tax CommlsslonerI Mullaney on the stand yesterday, his assistant, Norman Sommers, was called to identify a schedule prepared ty him. ' ‘Rep. Alfred Owen of Anchorage testified in the capacity of Secre- tary of the United Fishermen of Cook Inlet, but his evidence later was stricken. The hearing, which opened Thursday morning, is on a major tax measure passed by the 1949 Legislature, increasing the gradu- ated tax on fishtraps. The Harris Company and intervenors seek a permanent injunction restraining collection of the tax.
