1949 Tax Refunds
Exceed 1948
Nearly 40 per cent more mopey ;
has been refunded so far this year j
to individual income taxpayers in (
the Washington-Alaska Internal i
Revenue collection district than)
during the corresponding period
last year, collector Clark Squire
reported today in Tacoma.
Refunds to 234,858 persons total
$13,128,191. One year ago the re
fund amount was $9,406,306 to
193,941 taxpayers and two years
ago it was $7,469,607 to 160,007
taxpayers. The increases are at
tributed largely to earlier filing of
returns.
The total of all federal tax col
lections in this district this year
is 153 million dollars as compared
with 172 million a year ago and
154 million two years ago.

ICE POOL NEWS
I -
NENANA — Have been wait
ing. I thought there would be
some change in the condition of
i the ice, but the ice is 40 inches
thick now instead of the 38 of
some time ago. Have had some
warm weather, but not enough to
melt the snow on the river or for
i any water to run off of the hills,
and it still looks like winter, but
; if it stays cold until April and
; then warms up we will have
i spring. But if it turns warm or
hot it will only turn cold later on
which will only retard the break
up. That is my opinion.

who has made seven expeditions
to the Arctic, has received a cer

Maj. Gen. Roscow B. Woodruff,

to the North Pole than any other
white woman.

, Census Taking
iln Alaska Will
Start Early
JUNEAU — The 1950 census of
Alaska will be taken as of April 1,
1950, according to word received '
this week by the Alaska Develop
ment Board from Director J. C.
Capt, bureau of census, depart
ment of commerce, Washington,
D. C. Enumeration of certain areas
of Alaska w^ll begin at a slightly
earlier date to avoid delay occa
sioned by thaw conditions.
In the past, Alaska’s enumera
tion has been made in October of
the year preceding that of the na
tional decennial census. The bur
eau this time will take the Alaska
census at the same time the enu
meration occurs nationally. For a
time the date of January 1, 1950
was being considered for the
Alaska census but the bureau fi
nally fixed on the April 1 date af
ter considering all the factors ir
volved in getting a complete
count.
| Last official census figures,
from an enumeration made in
1939, listed Alaska’s population at
172,524. Estimates prepared by the
development board last October
indicated Alaska had recorded a
net gain of 22,351 persons since
that time, placing the total popu
lation at 94,875.
