Seek Injunction
Against New
Fishermen's Tax
(Continued from Page One>
was misinterpreted as applying to
the law as a whole.>
Pacific American Fisheries
asked for a permanent injunction
in the law’s application to salmon
fishermen. A hearing was set for
Aug. 12. A similar case, filed May
26 by Oscar Anderson and the
Alaska Fishermen’s union has not
been acted upon by the court.
The court contests are over the
increase of the non-resident li
cense fee from $25 to $50 by the
1949 legislature.
Tax commissioner Mullanev re
ported last week that his office
had collected around $83,000 in
non-resident license fees and
about $24,000 from resident fisher
men. Resident fishermen get a
lower rate.
After the halibut ruling, Gov.
Ernest Gruening commented that
he felt ‘‘the fishermen’s license
tax was not important from a rev
enue standpoint. It was not part
of the basic tax program.”
Hope To Complete
Mines Experiment
Station Next Year
WASHINGTON. </P»—'The bur
eau of mines probably will he able
to open its first Alaskan experi- i
ment station early next year, Di
rector James Boyd said yesterday.
Boyd said a $174,387 office
building is being constructed on j
Juneau Island near Juneau by the'
Sealand Construction company, |
Seattle.
In addition, Boyd said, the bur- j
eau will use prefabricated panels!
from abandoned Alaskan govern
ment facilities in building labora
tory, shop and storage buildings
on the island.
“If work proceeds on schedule
it will become possible in early
1950 for the bureau metallurgists
to conduct tests of Alaskan ores
right in the Territory and to give
on-the-spot advice to mine opera
tors on ore dressing and other
problems,” Boyd said.
The staffs of the mining, metal
lurgical and economics, and sta
tistics divisions, now in crowded
quarters at Juneau will be moved
to the island, he said.
AIR FORCH TO TRANSFER
SOME WORK TO WICHITA
WASHINGTON, </P) — The air
force has confirmed that it is con
sidering the transfer of some Boe
ing bomber plane production from
Seattle to the company’s Wichita,
Kansas, plant.
A spokesman said late Friday
secretary of air W. Stuart Syming
ton, members of his staff, and
Senator Magnusson »D.-Wash.)
will fly to Seattle late this month
for conferences with Boeing offi
cials.
Magnuson reported the entire
production situation will be dis
cussed. He emphasized, however,
that any changes would only in
volve a shifting of work between
factories and would not mean can
cellation of current contracts for
work being done in Seattle.
