SOME ANCHORAGE FOULS
OBJECT TO LICENSES
Some Anchorage people object to
paying licenses for doing business
and numerous cases have been pass*
along to the district attorney for de
cision. A letter from Commissioner
Conroy to the clerk of the court gives
a list of objectors.
Grover C. Frame has an electric
light plant which irradiates the An
chorage Red Light district. He dose
n't want to pay the annual tax of
$300 imposed on electric companies
by the federal law. The officials can't
agree with Grover that he ought to
be exempt because he is supplying
light only to a select and limited
class of consumers.
The town of Anchorage has a city
electric plant owned and run by the
federal government like all other
utilities in that town. The red light
district is outside the town limits and
the government officials don’t seem
to take any interest in it nor care
whether it is lighted at all. Where
fore Grover Frame stepped in and
supplied the long-felt want. As a pub
lic benefactor he thinks he ought to
be exempt from taxation.
