Petersburg Organization
Protests Many Taxes on
Infant Far Industries
Seeking the cooperation of other Al
aska civic bodies to assist them in
the matter of attempting to curtail
the present taxation on the fur farm
industry, the Petersburg Commercial
Club sends the Seward Chamber of
Commerce a resolution recently adopt- *
ed by the Petersburg organization. ,
During the discussion which follow
ed the reading it was decided to hold
the matter over until the next week
ly meeting at which time, according
to the pleasure of the local members,
action will be taken. From the tone
of the numerous talks about the table
yesterday it was judged the majority
of the members were in favor of ap
proving of the resolution.
In part the instrument states, that
each department of the government
is striving to place some tax or li
cense on the industry, the taxes and
license at present in force being as
follows: Territorial fur farm license,
Bureau of Biological Survey license,
government lease, Territorial tax on
fur, branding fee, trapping licensfe,
fishing license, incorporation tax. It
is stated that the sum total of taxes
and licenses, that each fur farm pays,
far exceeds the profits in many cases.
