LET'S GIVE INDUSTRIES SOME
INDUCEMENT TO LOCATE
With the coming of the New Eng
land Fisheries officials, to investigate
Seward as a proposed site for a cold
storage, the Chamber of Commerce
and City Council should arrange for
the passage of an ordinance abolish-1
ing city taxes for a term of from five
to ten years, on manufactories em-:
ploying five or more persons on their
payrolls, as do smaller towns and cit
ies in the States. One of the greatest;
incentives to the location of any com
pany in a new place, is the elimina
tion of taxes for a certain term. A
town is as well off from the taxation
standpoint, by the elimination of such
taxes as it is before the entrance of a;
company into the field. It secures nOj
taxes now from such companies, and
if they refuse to come in to the field,!
•will secure none later.
The Gateway believes and has al-j
ways believed that it is a mistake to
charge taxes on the properties of the1
San Juan Fisheries plant, the Stand
ard Oil Company and the Kodiak Fish-j
eries, as these companies are a great!
asset to the city, and employ many
persons on their payrolls.
Let us see if some inducements'
cannot be offered to new concerns to
locate in Seward. The city will de
rive taxes from the personal taxes of
employes, and these plan.s will ulti
mately add several hundred to the
town’s population.
