LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir;
I would like to allay some of the
fears that most of the voters have
concerning the forthcoming elec
tion for a Consumers Tax. Some of
the people who would like to see
our town die on the vine are pump
ing anyone who will listen, full of
the idea that this tax is going to
drivd all business out of the com
munity.
These same people were yelping
when it was proposed that parking
meters be installed to try to con
trol those citizens who cared not
for his fellow man and would
leave his car parked indefinitely
to the detriment of everyone.
These same people said the park
ing meter would drive all trade
out of town—have you tried lately
to find a place to park near where
you would like to shop?
Some business men are also
screaming that this Consumer Tax
is one more excuse for some of
our better citizens to send outside
for their supplies and not patron
ize the local merchant. I am the
first to agree that it is extremely
frustrating to think that some per
sons will take all the benefits of
an incorporated city such as fire
protection, schools, water, sewer,
roads and all the many other ad
vantages but try to justify their
civic duties by dodging all forms
of taxes. I feel we have to go
ahead in spite of these deadheads
and whenever they are forced to
spend fifty cents in town through
their own lack of foresight, the
town will get at least one cent
from them to help in trying to
make a better place for their kids
and ours.
I sincerely sympathize with the
merchant who is the one doing the
work of collecting the tax and
turning it over to the city but ac
tually, everyone is geared to the
task of making out many forms for
the government and territory and
this will only add a few more min
utes each month.
I voted in the affirmative when
a similar tax was proposed by a
former council. When I voted at
the city council meeting to bring
this Consumer Tax to you Citi
zens for the final decision, it was
with the understanding that half
of the tax is to be used for streets
and street improvement such as
sidewalks, drains, etc. and half of
the tax for the inner facilities for
our small boat harbor, which will
help to insure its reality in the
near future. Also, it was my un
derstanding that the tax will ap
ply to our entire shopping dis
trict and not just the citizens with
in the corporate limits of Kodiak.
To this I pledge myself, as I am
the last person to want to heap
unnecessary taxes on my own head.
I sincerely believe this consum
ers tax is essential for the better
