Bartlett Asks
Differential Pay Be
Tax Exempt
WASHINGTON, U<P) — Delegate
Bartlett said yesterday he is urg
ing the treasury to exempt from
income tax the 25 per cent differ
ential paid to federal employees in
Alaska.
Government workers there are
allowed the differential to meet a
higher cost of living, Bartlett said,
but the internal revenue bureau
holds that the money is not a cost
of-living allowance but “increased
compensation given to induce em
ployees to accept hazardous or iso
lated posts.”
Bartlett said the civil service
commission had informed him the
differential resulted from an
agreement of various government
agencies and not, as contended by
the internal revenue bureau, upon
a decision of the comptroller gen
eral.
It is on this basis, Bartlett said
in a statement, that he is asking
the bureau to reverse its stand.
In 1703 there were 194 deep
| sea ships operating out of Boston
I and 124 operating out of New
York.
