Ceiling Prices on
banned Salmon Cut
By OPS for 1951 Pack
Juneau-Specific dollar and j
cents ceiling prices for sale by
canners of the 1951 pack of can-j
ned salmon have been established
at generally lower levels than
the December 19—January 25,
1951 prices, Fred G. Hanford, Ter
ritorial Director of Price Stabil
ization, announced today.
The established ceiling for
three items, which represent a
l,arge portion of the total pack,
range from $19.00 for a case of
48 one pound tall cans of chum
salmon, $21.00 a case for pink
salmon, $18.00 for a case of half
pound cans of Alaska Reds to
$29.00 for Alaska Reds in 1
pound tall cans. These prices are!
for the 1951 pack and a small'
carry-over from 1950 only, and
are effective August 8. 1951.
In establishing the ceilings,
the Office of Price Stabilization
said that increased costs, such as.
canning labor, fish packing ma
terials, freight, warehousing, etc.,
had been taken into considera
tion
Ceiling prices are FOB car at
Seattle, Everett and Belling
ham. Washington, and at Astoria,
Oregon, for salmon canned in
Alaska.
Should the 1951 pack actually
be abnormally large or small, the
ceilings will be promptly revised
to reflect more accurately the
changes in unit costs, Hanford
s^id.
Purpose of the new regulation
is to establish uniform ceiling
orices at levels which are gener
lly fair and equitable if supplies
f this essential food are to be
iade available at reasonable
rices to the consumer, the office
f Price Stabilization said.

Votes to Re-Assess
All City Properly
The Anchorage City Council
voted Friday night to equalize
the city’s land and building valu
ation through the adoption of a
new assessment scale which will
go into effect October 1, 1951.
Valuation of buildings will be [
done by the square foot method
on the basis of 1950 construction
costs less 20 percent contractor’s
profit, less depreciation.
The city will be divided into
zones of value for the computa
tion of lot values. A basic figure
of $1,200 was chosen for lot value
with percentages to be added for
streets, sewers, view, drainage,
and zoning.
Permanent records for reference
about each piece of property are
to be included under the new
system. These will show the area
of location, contents and fixtures,
basement, extra baths, and type
of construction.
Maynard Taylor, a member of
the land valuation board, said
that under the present system of
valuations, there are discrepan
cies varying from 150 to 250 per
cent.
