THE TREASURY FOR

JUNEAU, Dec. 4. — (By Mail). —
That there is over half a million dol
lars in the Territorial Treasury at the
present time, but that this will be de
I pleted greatly when the school and
road appropriations are made is the
statement of Territorial Treasurer
Walstein G. Smith, who returned yes
terday from the North. Further de
tails concerning the funds appears in
the Skagway Alaskan, which inter
1 viewed Mr. Smith while he wa sthere:
Despite heavy disbursements to
ward Territorial road work there are
at the present time $700,000 in the
treasury, which amount will be con
siderably reduced when the first al
i lotment of funds is made to schools.
The Alaska Legislature has instruc
ted the Territorial Treasurer to allot
$50,000 per year, for a period of two
years, to each division, for road work,
j This totals $200,000 per year, howev
* or, some of the divisions have not
used their full allotment, which mon
ey still remains in the treasury, for
use the coming season. Big appro

priations have been made for schools
outside of incorporated towns, and in
addition $.‘>15,000 has been set aside,
each year for a period of two years,
for schools in incorporated towns.
The latter schools send their bills to
the treasury every three months, and
up to this time none has boon receiv
ed. When this payment is made a
considerable shrinkage in the funds
will take place.
Mr. Smith stated the reason for
the big expenditures by the Territor
ial treasury was because of the de
crease in federal taxes causing a
shrinkage in the Alaska fund, and be
cause of the decrease in taxxes from
incorporated towns, which were re
turned to those towns. The Alaska
fund, set aside (>5 per cent for the
Road Commission, 25 per cent, to sup
ply schools outside of incorporated
towns, and 10 per cent went to judges
for the relief of destitution in their
! districts. This fund is constantly
shrinking, necessitating larger appro
priations on the part of the Territor
! ial treasury, as authorized by the
! legislature.
f The heavist tax season for this year
\ is yet to come from January to April.
| The biggest sources of revenue to the
| Territory are from fish and mining;
| the former pay a graduated tax and
the latter pay 1 per cent of their net
! income. Fish traps pay $100 a year.
Doctors,^ dentists, lawyers, bakeries,
laundries and registered boats pay a
j yearly tax. Telephone companies,
I electric and water companies pay Vs
of 1 per cent of their gross receipts.
I Autos for hire pay a yearly tax of
! $5.00; public messengers pay $25.
meat markets and cold storage plants
pay a graduated tax, and the rail
roads of Alaska pay a tax of 1 per
cent on the gross income.
