LOS ANGELES PROPOSES
2c TAX PER DRINK
A tipplers’ tax of 2 cents per al
coholic drink to force Los Angeles
bar patrons to pay for a new sys
tem of handling drunks in a com
bined city and county jail was pro
posed by the county supervisor in
Los Angeles recently.
“There is no reason why the or
dinary non-drinking citizen should
have to pay for the drunks,” he
said. “If we pick up all the drunks
off the city streets and throw them
on the backs of the county taxpay
ers, it will mean an additional 4
cents per $100 of assessed property
valuation on tax bills. We need a
tippler tax instead,” according to
a recent report in the Chicago Trib
une.

Cmdr. Richmond
Is Now Captain
Commander Chester A. Rich
mond, Commanding Officer of the
Coast Guard Air Detachment at
Kodiak has been promoted to the
rank of Captain.
For the past two and one-half
years, Captain Richmond has held
the dual title of Commanding Of
ficer of the Coast Guard Air De
tachment, Kodiak, and Kodiak
Search and Rescue Coordinator.
The vast Kodiak Search and Res
cue Area includes more than a mil
lion square miles of coastal, island,
and ocean area, extending from Ya
kutat Bay west to Unimak Pass,
and from the Bering Straight south
to the 40th parallel. The six air
craft and three ships assigned an
swered over two hundred calls for
assistance during 1961.
Captain Richmond graduated
from the U.S. Coast Guard Acad
emy, New London, Conn., during
June 1941 and earned his wings as
a CG aviator in May, 1943. He is
married to the former Barbara
O’Connell of New London, Con
necticut. They have seven children.
Will Arrest Those
Garbage Litferers
•City Sanitarian Harry E. Carter,
today issued an appeal to the peo
ple of Kodiak for cooperation in
correcting a growing garbage prob
lem.
“Previous newspaper announce
ments have pointed out the prob
lem and the local citizenry have
been hesitant or negligent in re
sponding,” Carter said.
“More and more people are be
coming negligent in the handling
and storage of their garbage and
refuse. Such conditions will foster
the growth of the rat population
which has been somewhat dimin
ished this winter.
“All people are urged to pur
chase proper metal containers with
lids and to use them. The wanton
scatter of garbage in the city must
be stopped and the efforts of all
good citizens is requested,” he
stated.
Carter added the following note
of warning to his direct appeal:
“A reasonable period of time will
be given for compliance with the
City Codes and then warning cita
tions will have to be issued . . . fol
lowed by arrest warrents should
the present conditions remain un
changed.”
