This was due to the fact that the real estate and personal tax levy was not made until after the close of the pericd,{ plus the fact that the revenues from business licenses has decreas- ed appreciably, and liquor licenses will not become due until the end of | the year. If it had not been for|, the Territorial contribution of svu,-; 000 last ‘year's operations would have shown an excess of expens"sl over income in the amount of $5,- 871.14. The contricution referred to was made to assist us in the construction of the Airport Term- inal Buflding and not for general City purposes. While our operating expenses for the last six months are less than half of what they were for the year ending March 31, 1949, it should be remembered that street department expenses will probably increase appreciably during the next six months due to weather; conditions. All of the other de- partmental expenses have been sev- erly curtailed and we do not believe they can be reduced further without | jeopardizing the services you-ex- pect your City to render. Tax and business license revenues during the next year are expeCied to be somewhat less than they were during the year previous due to general economic conditions, and this too presents a very serious problem. If we are to pay off our current debts and to continue to render the various services, you, as} residents, demand of your City, ad- ditional revenues or sources of re- venues will have to be found. | Assuming a population of 8,000} for the City, during the six months just ended, operating expenses—in- cluding interest but excluding de- preciation—amounted to $19.85 per capita as compared to $41.34 for the..year ending March 31, 1949. Leigh Kerr, senior X-ray techni- | cian of Juneau with the depart- i ment, supervised remodeling for the agency's needs. The unit will operate until some- time in May, and thén personnel’ will transfer to the Yukon Health, ia river barge which will travel the big river giving the same type of ervice to smalil villages. Dr. Roger Witzel is physician-in- charge. Mrs. Witzel is his nurse. Dr. A. C. Hodgkins is dentist, with Mrs. Hodgkins as dental assistant. Clarence Best is X-ray technician, An enginzer and cook make up the conyplement. It was not known where the staff was from, although it was believed they were not i Alaskans.
