Office of Governor of Alaska
Press Release
The is the second of a series1
of articles on the Alaska Liquor
Industry based upon a factual
study by the Alaska Planning
Council for the Governor of Al
aska and released by Governor
Ernest Gruening.
The first of these articles dealt
with the importance of the In
dustry and its rank as a source
of tax revenue to the Territory
and to the incorporated towns.
This article shows its relation
ship to employment and business
generally in each community.
The Alaska Liquor industry is
as important to the livlihood of
each community as it is to the
Territorial tax structure, accord
ing to a factual study made by
the Alaska Planning Council for
the Governor. This study will be
submitted to the 1941 session of j
the Legislature. Pertinent facts
from the study have just been re- j
leased for publication by Gover- j
nor Ernest Gruening.
The liquor industry ranks
among the leaders in employ
ment, wages paid and other ex
penditures, al of which figure in
community revenues. In taxation
it ranks third, fisheries and min
ing only exceeding it.
Based upon figures assembled
from the larger communities, the
trade pays out in wages, rent,
light, heat, water, drayage, phone
service, advertising and minor
miscellaneous items, approximate
iy $350,000 annually. It supports
some 1500 persons. It pays union1
wages and works union hours. It
is closely regulated by officers of
the Treasury Department as well
as Federal income tax officials.
Ketchikan, with a wage scale
comparable to that paid in Ju
neau,- Anchorage and Fairbanks,1
is typical of the larger commun
ities of the Territory. In a sur-i
vey made by a licensed, certified
public accountant, labor alone in
1939 was paid in Ketchikan the
sum of $97,033.
Rentals was the next most im
portant item. Package stores and
cocktail lounges ranked as the
second in importance with a total
of $24,100. Third was light, water
and phone service with $11,331.
Newspaper advertising in Ketchi
kan newspapers was third, aggre
gating $6,467. Miscellaneous items
totalled $3,589.,
Local transfer companies shar
ed to an appreciable extent. For
drayage alone, Ketchikan liquor
dealers paid last year the sum of
$3,361 for drayage. No figures
were obtainable for costs of wharf
age and longshoring in any of
the communities, as it was not
possible to segregate these from
the other items on the general
cargo list.
Throughout the Territory near
ly three hundred premises were
occupied in whole or in part by
licensed dealers. While a substan :
tial proportion of these are own- j
ed by licensees, many are rent
ed properties for which the licen
see pays the same rental as other
normal busineses.
Don Haggerty of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Juneau headquar-;
ters office, arrived Nome via
PAA plane Wednesday. Mr. Hag
gerty, who is field agent for the
Bureau in connection with the
extension of loans to native com
munities throughout the Terri
tory, will remain here for sev
eral days before proceeding to
other communities in the Second
Division.
