Servicemen Exempted
From City Licenses
For Personal Cars
JUNEAU, UP)—The State At
torney General’s Office said that
federal law exempts non-resident
servicemen from paying city taxes
and license fees on automobiles
operated for personal use only.
The opinion was issued at the
request of Rodger Pegues, Direc
tor of the state’s Local Affairs
agency.
Pegues said military authorities
had complained that the City of
Ketchikan had been insisting that
servicemen stationed there pay a
motor vehicle tax or license fee.
The military authorities, Pegues
said, insisted the servicemen are
exempt from payment of the
tax under the Soldiers’ and Sail
ors’ Relief Act of 1940. The State
Attorney General’s Office agreed.
The opinion decribed non-resi
dent servicemen as those who are
in the state solely because of
military orders and who were not
residents of Alaska prior to en
tering military service.

City Council
;etin£ Noles
The State Department of Health
has advised the City of Nome
that its sanitary facilities are un
satisfactory and that honey buck
ets are not approved for munici
palities. Amos Alter of that de
partment recommended that the
city take steps to apply for sewer
and water system.
The letter came as a surprise to
the council as it has had applica
tions in for several years for such
a system.
The expenditure of $286.96 was
approved by the City Council for
firefighting equipment recom
mended by the fire instructor
who was here during the summer
and who gave valuable training
to the local department.
The City building has been ex
tended on the south end of the
fire hall with the addition of an
extra bulding so that both fire
trucks could fit into the heated
building.
Complaints were received from
Bob Cannon and James Kealiher
on the Ralph Olanna property
at 5th and D Street as being a
health hazard and asking the city
to take action to have it cleaned
up.
A letter from Don Hoover, re
ceiver for the North Star, ex
plained that he could not pay the
back sales taxes and that prior
claims were not allowed by the
court at this time.
A letter was received from the
Home Arts Club giving the City
the playground equipment which
was purchased last summer and
installed at the King Island Vil
lage. The matter was turned over
to a committee to investigate
whether the city should accept
this or if it should be turned over
to the King Island Village dir
ectly.
Jim O’Sullivan of the Alaska
Steamhip Co. appeared before the
council stating that the Lomen
Commercial Co. was unable to
collect certain sales taxes from
construction companies who have
refused payment and urged the
city to take action against them.
Tabled for lack of time was an
offer of Eli Mulch to sell his pro
perty for a city playfield at the
appraised value and half of the
value of a demolished building.
Councilman A1 Doyle presided
in the absence of the mayor..
