CANNERY OUTFIT
OBJECTS TO TAX;
WILL TEST LAW
A suit was filed recently at Ju
neau entitled Libby, McNeil & Lib
by, as plaintiff, against G. F.
Cramer as school tax collector out
side of incorporated towns.
• The plaintiff claims that the
j school tax law as passed by the
llast Territorial legislature is eon
i
trary to the organic act of the Ter
jritory of Alaska and in conflict with
| the Constitution of the United
j States. It asks that the court
! issue a restraining order to stop the
I school tax collector from enforcing
i the provisions of the law.
The company claims that it is
engaged in the canning and packing
of fish at Taku Harbor and that it
receives none of the benefits in the
way of schools from the proceeds
j of the tax and names one man, E.
|T. Campbell, who did pot authorize
| it to deduct the amount of the tax
from his wages, and that this man
is a resident of the State of Wash
ington and only worked for the
season for the company. The com
pany claims that if it should have
deducted the amount of the tax
from his wages it would have been
liable to suit by him and would ,
have had no relief by the courts.
The company also specifies several
Orientals working for a Chinese
contractor who did not authorize it:
to deduct the tax monev.

FUEL SHORTAGE
STOPS WORK ON
The high cost of fuel has com
pelled two hard rock outfits to sus
pend operations on Fairbanks creek,
according to information received
from Fairbanks today. The Crites
& Feldman mine, at the head of
Fairbanks creek, has been closed
within the past several days and
no attempt to resume operations
will be made until the fuel situa
tion has been relieved. And Tom
Gilmore, who is operating near by,
is preparing to shut ddwn as soon
as his supply of wood has been
consumed, which will be within a
very' short time.
The fuel problem has long been
a serious one on Fairbanks creek,
and this winter the cost of wood is
higher than ever, with very little
available.
There is a difference of opinion
as to the possibility of landing coal
on Fairbanks creek at a sufficiently
low cost to relieve the fuel situa
tion “there, owing to the long haul
from the railroad. It is contended
by numerous of the oldtimers that
electric power, transmitted from a
central plant, will be the only feasi
ble solution, and it is understood
that the Fairbanks creek dredge
company already is considering
plans for the erection of a power
plant at Gilmore, where coal can
be dumped directly into bunkers by
the Government railroad. Should
such a plant be built, it is possible
that some of the juice will be avail
able for use by the quartz men of
that district.

BE TAKEN OVER
BY NEW BUREAU
According: to a statement credit
ed to Captain John Zug, Interior
representative of the Alaska Road
| commission, there is a possibility
that the war department will be
relieved of the responsibility of di
recting road work in Alaska. He
says there is a movement now on
foot to turn the road work over to
I some organization other than the
'Alaska Road commission, and he
: believes a civilian commission will
:be named to look after the work if
jit is taken away from the war de
partment.
! Zug left for Juneau last week
and is not sure that he will return
;to Fairbanks. He expects the
j change to be made before the work
is started next spring, in which
event there probably will be a new
'man on the job in Interior Alaska.
Captain Zug has been associated
with the Alaska Road commission
a long time, having had charge of
the work in the Fourth division in
the early days. He was also sta
tioned in one of the coast districts
for several years, during the time
that R. J. Sommers was in charge
at Fairbanks.
, Captain Zug will remain at the’
headquarters office of the commis
ision at Juneau ijntil the future of
the Alaska Road commission has
been definitely determined upon.
