Sen. McNees Sees
Big Tax Need
Before Long
ANCHORAGE, W) — Alaska will
need $11,000,000 in new taxes
when the “honeymoon period” is
over, State Sen. John McNees of
Nome told a group of Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce Directors
Friday.
At present the state is paying
for some of its services out of
federal funds, given to Alaska to
help her through the transition to
statehood. When these funds are
no longer present, the State will
need new taxes, McNees warned.
“Oil lease revenues are now
saving our bacon,” he added.
He pointed out the need for sup
port of a bonding program which
will be on the ballot this year, to
provide for projects throughout
the state. Included are a ferry in
Southeast Alaska, a Fairbanks
Nome road, a ferry from Kenai
to Kodiak and bush air field de
velopment.
These bonds will have to be
paid out of state taxes at a later
date, however, he warned.
Too little publicity has been
given a decision of the Legisla
ture to spend $160,000 to employ
the Arthur D. Little Co. to make
a developmental survey of Alaska,
McNees said. The company, a
worldwide firm, will consolidate
earlier surveys, try to find indus
trial firms interested in coming
here, and aid them in moving to
Alaska. “It’s a program of action,
not just another survey,” McNees
declared.
Newlyweds Have Whale
Yacht and Atlantic Ocean
All To Themselves
By COLIN FROST
LONDON, — The Royal
Yacht Britannia sped into the At
lantic Saturday seeking the sun
for honeymooning Princess Mar
garet and Antony Armstrong
Jones.
And surprisingly they found the
sun just off the shores of England.
The Princess and her bride
groom lazed through the morning
sunbathing on a secluded deck be
hind the royal staterooms.
Thd*teea was calm except for
a slight swell as a plane carrying
this reporter flew over. But the
6,000 ton Britannia pitched heav
ily as she piled on the knots for
the honeymoon voyage.
The bride and her commoner
husband had complete privacy.
Only one seaman could be seen
elsewhere above deck.
An estimated 250 million people
throughout Britain and Western
Europe either watched or heard
the solemn Anglican wedding cer
emony Friday in Westminster Ab
bey on radio or television.

creasingly concerned over whe
ther the polar bear population is
being reduced excessively by over

‘Land Owners Given First
Chance to Buy Land Along
Glenn, Alaska Highways
WASHINGTON, WV-Owners of
land along the Riphardson and
Glenn Highways in Alaska would
be allowed first chance to buy
150-foot strips of land adjoining
the roads under legislation con
sidered today by a House Public
Lands subcommittee.
Harold Hochmuth, of the Bu
reau of Land Management, said
an error was made in surveying
highway rights-of-way at Big Del
to and Tok Junction.
The land owners, he said, were
left with a 150-foot gap between
their land and the highways. The
legislation, passed by the Senate
last month, would give the owners
first chance to buy the strips at
fair market value.
Involved are 14.38 acres at Big
Delta and 9.4 acres at Tok.
