How About A Sales Tax
Do the voters of Kodiak want to enact a sales tax? The
question of holding an election to levy a one or two percent
sales tax here has been discussed by the city council, by let-j
ters ^o the editor and on the streets.
Public reaction to the proposition shows strong opinions
an the question. There is no straddling the fence on the issue.
Voters are either strongly in favor of the measure or violently
opposed to it. |
Some members of the city council urge the leving of a
one or two percent sales tax. They point to the increasing ex
penses of the city as one argument for the tax. Those opposed
say that the tax is a nuisance and that the city receives
onough revenue from utilities, the dock, city taxes etc. to sus
tain the city administration.
What is your opinion on a sales tax? As a public ser
vice the MIRROR will devote an entire column, for the next
few weeks, to a discussion on the subject. Persons are asked
to keep their letters, essays, articles, etc. to 450 words. The
articles must pertain only to the pros and cons of a city sales
tax and must be signed. We will withhold the writers name on
request.

On Libby Case
Juneau (.!’)—Judge George
Folta took the government’s
ease against Libby McNeill
and Libby over a fish trap on
i the Hydaburg Indian Keser
i vation under advisement.
I No decision is exDvcted until
next month.
Arguments closed after a
challenge by Libby’s attorneys
regarding the right of the In
terior Department to create
the reservation. The govern
ment is seeking to exclude
Libby from the trap site which
they have held for years. The
government is also asking
payment for salmon caught
there since the creation of the
reservation in 1950.
The decision on the case will
have great significance as
numerous other traps fall in
to the same class.
