Lyng Reports On Work
In Juneau Expediting
Several Nome Projects
a s
Senator Howard Lyng returned
yesterday from Juneau, where he
has been busy since the closing of
the legislature on several projects
of importance to Nome and this
area.
He states that it took several j
conferences in Juneau, in con
nection with the Nome school ad
dition, to convince the Territorial
Sanitary Department that modern
plumbing was not immediately
available for Nome but would be
worked out after the school was
built. All departments cooperated
in getting the papers in order so
that bids will be accepted until j
May 18th, at which time the con
tract will be let and supplies on
the first boat ordered.
Lyng also worked on a project
to obtain electrical equipment
from the Nome Field power plant
for the Nome Light and Power
Cc. to provide the additional out
put badly needed at the local
plant.
Tax Commissioner Dewey
Explains Changes In
Program Before Chamber
Karl Dewey, territorial tax
commissioner, was special guest
of the Chamber of Commerce at
their noon luncheon yesterday.
He explained the several changes
in the tax program as made by
the legislature.
In addition to an increased in
come tax from 10 to 12 percent,
payroll deductions include a one
half of one percent for employ
ment security. Heretofore, em
ployers have carried the tax en- .
tirely and will continue to pay
2.7 percent.
Another increase will soon be
felt and that is the school tax,
which has advanced from $5 to
$7.50.
Dewey also explained the
change in the tobacco tax law,
which was amended to protect
the Alaska dealer. Individuals
shipping in their cigarets directly
from the States will pay the tax
also, as the shipper will have to
declare all tobacco shipments to
the territory in the future.
Dewey plans to remain here
several days to explain the new
tax structure, he stated.
