City Told of New Tax Changes
Action Possible
to change Us
system for assessitfg'taxes, George
Cornelius informed council at
Monday's meeting that a new act
for Territorial property taxation
would come into effect next year.
One of the major changes under
the act would be the changing of
the start of the City’s fiscal year
la Jan. 1st.
On his recent visit to Anchorage
and Fairbanks, Cornelius said he
had visited the tax assessors in
bath cities who had discussed the
new act with him.
“The way our tax system is set
up now, we cannot meet the pro
cedures set up by the Territory
year I am submitting
this pamphlet explaining the act to
you for your information,” Cor
nelius told council.
The new system would, he said,
enable the city to get full value
from taxation and yet not over
charge. He informed council that
Anchorage and Fairbanks are both
iu the process of putting every
thing on a 100 percent valuation
basis and reducing the mill rate.
Records would be kept in a card
index file. “In this way the city
could save money by not employ
ing a Tax Assessor. The office
girls could handle the assessing
from the City Hall under the new
system,” Cornelius explained.
Another suggestion made by
Cornelius, was that records of
deeds should be kept in the Com
missioner’s Office. .‘TS'icfc tithe
property changes hands, a photo
stat copy of tlie deed could be
made at the Commissioner’s office
and kept for city purpokdS',” he'
said.
Council agreed that the informa
tion should be submitted to City
Attorney Russell Arnett and that
he should be asked what changes
should be made regarding taxes.
