ernment for a total of $450,000,- j

miscellaneous receipts of $75,555.- :

Birch, and $5,000 from the Smith- I
Lever Fund.
Public School Current Fund re
ceipts from Federal sources am-4
our.ted to $181,230.75- The Terri
tory received from the Forest Ser
m vice a total of $190,209.88 as its
share of receipts from timber sales
and $180,129.19 from railroads in
i Alaska. ,
Other Receipts ,
Five thousand dollars were re
ceived from outside sources by the
Historical Library and Museum.
The Pioneers’ Home had mis
cellaneous receipts aggregating
$63,986.73.
Interests on treasury funds de
posited in various banks brought
the Territory $151,173.28 in the
decade- Estates escheated to the
r Territory were the source of $61,
154.36 in revenue. Inheritance
taxes added $22,528.85. Minor mis
cellaneous items were tabulated
amounting to $65,732.37.
Due to the red salmon industry
of Bristol Bay, on which the Ter
ritorial taxes are highest, and the
Kennecott Copper mines, the
Third Division’s contribution to the
Territory's revenues are heavier
than any other, the First Divi
sion ranking second. The fisheries
taxes for the Third Division, from
1922, the first year when a seg
regation was possible, amounted
to $3,047,466.50, and those of the
First Division were $2,233,702.21.
The Second Division’s fisheries re
turned $1,888.73 and the Fourth
paid $17.
The school poll tax, income
taxes from salmon canneries and
mines showed the same proportion
and ranking. Until 1930, the Third
Division’s share of the mining
income taxes, was more than 60
per cent of the total. Last year,
due to the depression in the cop
per market and closing of the
Latouche mine, the receipts from
that source dropped sharply and
those from the First rose on ac
count of the fact that the Alaska
Juneau Gold Mining Company t
emerged from the red ink status {
and went on a profitable basis. i
First Leads in Business :
In automobile license taxes, ]
business enterprises, professional i
fees, power plants, cold storage i
and other sources, the First Di
vision paid a predominant per
centage of the taxes. ]
The surprise of the entire list *
of statistics was in the returns <
from taxes on business enterprises
from the Second Division. Out of
$59,000 collected on mercantile
businesses in the Territory in 10
years, the Second Division paid!
only $300, and this was collected
1 in four years. In three of them
the collections amounted to $50
| each, and in a fourth year, the |
receipts were $150.
Meat markets paid into the
treasury a total of $50,665, mainly
from the First Division. Soft
drink emporiums paid a total!
of $26,906.75; saw mills $28,386.59; '
power plants, $20,070; laundries
$11,839.36: bakeries $3,755; tele
phone comoanies $5,602.86; water
works $3,356.45; public messengers
$1,437*50, principally from the
Fourth Division; coal dealers and
i dairies between 1921 and 1923,
| when these taxes were discon
tinued, $3,877.33; and manufact
uring and repair plants, discon
tinued in 1925, $3,096.
