Anchorage Voters
Veto Sales Tax
ANCHORAGE, I/P)—Anchorage
voters have rejected a one per
cent municipal sales tax as a
means of financing a proposed
civic center.
The vote in last week’s election
was 99V against and 561 for the
civic center proposal.
The city sales tax was suggested
to raise $500,000 for the center—
half of its estimated cost. The rest
would have been sought from the
federal government under the
Alaska public works act.
Opposition to the proposal cen
tered on the sales tax feature, the
Anchorage Times reported, adding
that there was general agreement
on the need for a civic center.
A statement by Governor Er
nest Gruening favoring the pro
posal was published and broad
cast before the election. The An
chorage Retail Clerks union op
posed the sales tax, contending it
was an “unfair and inequitable
means of financing.”
The civic center proposal was
the only proposition on the ballot.
The 1,553 who voted compared
with a total of 2,911 persons reg
istered to vote.
