PROPERTY TAX RULING
Refusal last week by the
United States Supreme Court
to issue a writ of certiorari
for review.of the decision up
holding the Alaska property
tax act makes that law fully
valid and effective from the
time of its enactment in 1949
until its repeal by tne last
legislature, Territorial At
torney General J. Gerald Wil
liams said last week
The Attorney General said
the law was effective from
January t, 1949, and that a
reading of the J953 legisla
ture 's repeal measure leads
him to the tentative conclu
sion that the tax was payable
for 1953, since the date on
which the levy applied was,
according to the original act,
January 1 of each year.
That would make the tax
payable for 1949, 1950, 1951,
1952, 1953*

' lo the best interest of public health and safety I
wish to state that I am not responsible for any location
of the Homer Health Center access road that does not
conform strictly to the plans I have drawn and the stakes
I have set♦
Having given this matter a great deal of my'attention
I am quite certain that from an engineering standpoint
the line I have staked is as good as conditions of the
.site will permit, It seems regrettable to me that money
has been paid for my services, and other engineers' s«jr
vices, which apparently are not going to be used.

As a taxpayer 's view I would like the P.U*H>. to ,
state to the public why they accepted this and called
for bide and now want to change plans and throw away £350.
Signed - M* Killen
I want the people of Homer and surrounding territory
to know that I am not saying what I am saying because I
did not get, the bid, but because I feel the taxpayers
should know the way their money is being spent,

turns out Smith couldn't make
it, and wishing to call his
new friend he remembered that
he worked at one of the paper
houses but coiildn't remember
which one, so telephoning one
of the larger companies he
asked the switchboard girl,
"Do you have a Sexauer
