CUT HEAVILY FROM LAST YEAR
ON ACCOUNT INCREASED
EXPENDITURES
At the close of business on No
vember 30 the books of the Terri
torial Auditor’s office showed a
cash balance of $162,736.29, which
is $400,305.66 less than that shown
on November 30, 1930. This loss
is largely due to increased expendi
tures, plus some decreases in mis
cellaneous tax receipts and a 20
per cent reduction in fish pack
, taxes.
Some of the canners, appreciat
ing the Territory’s financial condi
j tion, have sent in their taxes three
' months in advance of when they
i usually pay. The Alaska Packer’s
I Association have paid $80,000 and
| several small canners have paid
i amounts which will bring the total
| to approximately $100,000. This aid
1 will permit payment of Territorial
• obligations which otherwise could
not have been met with the $162,
736.29 balance.
