KETCHIKAN WANTS
TAXES ON CANNERIES
The Commercial Club of Ketchikan
fearing that the department of com
merce fisheries bill might become a
law, has passed a resolution asking
that it be amended so that the license
tax paid by canneries located within
municipalities shall be paid to the
clerk of the United States district
court and by him to the municipal
treasurer for municipal purposes, says
the Valdez Prospector. Under the de
partment bill half of all the cannery
taxes would be paid into the federal
treasury and half into the territorial
treasury.
Under the law as it now is all of
the taxes on the canneries outside of
the municipalities is paid into the Al
aska fund and that collected from can
neries inside of the municipalities
eventually finds it way into the muni
cipal treasury.
The proposition is one that con
cerns Ketchikan to a greater extent
than any other town in Alaska, for it
s four canneries within its munici
pal limits, two of them new canneries
erected this year. I .ast year the
Ketchikan municipality collected $5,
600 from the canneries within the city,
and this year it will be greater. The
passage of the fisheries law of the de
partment of commerce would deprive
the city of these funds.
