Price Stabilization in CTR 111.
effective January 9.
Dollar* and cents ceilings were
established for standard grades
iof specified types of non-volatile
or permanent character. A for
mula was also established for the
; fixing of ceiling prices on sub
; standard grades of these same
types.
Ceiling prices established by
the regulation generally are 5
to 10 cents below current retail
prices. The OPS said, however.•
that they reflect the same cost
price relationship as that enjoy
ed by sellers of anti-freeze in the
period May 24. 1950 to June 24,
1950. and meet the requirements
of the most recent amendments to
the Defense Production Act.
The dollar and cents prices cs-^
tablished by the regulation and
Ibe formula for etablishing ceil
ing prices for the specified sub
standard grades are applicable
only to designated types of anti
freeze manufactured outside of
Alaska and sold in the panhandle
cities of Alaska and the Anchor
age and Fairbanks areas where
77.5 percent of all the motor ve
hicles used in the Territory are
registered.
The OPS pointed out that anti
freeze is a “must” for all water
cooled motors in Alaska with its
temperatures that reach 62 de
trees below zero and that cur
rently some 100,000 gallons with
a present value of $350-000 are fee
ing used annually.

Internal Revenue Man
To Answer Valley's
Tax Queries Feb. 3-7
Very few residents of Washing
ton **r>d Alaska during 1951 are
exempt from filing an ineotne tax
return by March 15 in thin dis
trict. according to Internal Reve
nue Collector Clark Squire in Ta
coma.
Every person having gross in
come of SfiOO or more* must make
a return, even though he may not
be taxed. A husband and wife
must file a return if the com
bined gross income is $1,200 »r
more, if the separate gross income
of one spouse is $600 or more.
Every taxpayer is urged to fol
low the instructions furnished
with the income tax forms, pre
pare his return and mail it with
remittance to the collector. This
will enable him to save time and
avoid inconvenience of standing
in line at the Internal Revenue
office.
The Collector warn taxpayers
that failure to receive a blank
form does not relieve him from
filing a return or paying his tax
on time. Forms may be obtained
from local banks and post offices
and from the office of the Collec
tor in Tacoma and zone offices.
The nearest zone office is in An
chorage, Alaska.
Deputy Collector Albert W
Pupp is scheduled to be at Pal
mer from Febuary 3 to 7 to ad
