PAGE EIGHT 1949 TAXPAYERS ELIGIBLE Y0 VOTE INBOND ELECTION Those people on the 1949 tax rolls in the Juneau Independent School District will be eligible to vote 1n the special school district election Tuesday, Sterling S. Sears, Superin- tendent of Schools, told the Cham- ber of Commerce today. He was guest speaker at the meet- ing of the organization at noon, and the subject of his talk was the need for a new school in Juneau and the $750,000 bond issue whicl will have to be approved 1if the school is to be constructed “Every growing community feel its growth in its sghools,” he said. For the past 30 years, Juneau's school population has grown faster than its schools. This year two Kin- dergarten classes are forced to mee in ‘classrooms in churches, he pointed out. “This fall we'll have to find tw( more classrooms,” he said. Sears said there has never bdeel a more favorable time for con struction. The Federal governmen under provision of the Public Work Bill for Alaska, will supply up one-half the cost of planning, con struction, and equipping the school The remainder ot tne cost Woul have to be financed through a bonc issue. If the $750,000 bond issue 1 approved at the special electior Tuesday, the school board will no issue bonds for more than is actu ally needed. Sears feels that thi would be much less than $750.000. “But the school board wants det inite assurance that it will be abl to finance its sharesof the cost, st that the construction once startec will be completed as planned,” h¢ said. . Sears said the Territorial tobaccc tax funds would probably take car¢ of paying off most of the bonds, i they are issued. The school which is plannec would include 10 classrooms, a ritl range, a large auditorium-gymna- sium and a cafeteria, as well a: store rooms. There would also bt an off-the-street loading zone fo school busses. The proposed site is a plo slightly more than four acres ir area on Glacier Highway at-12th Street. The Chamber voted in favor ot obtaining a list of boxholders name. from the post office for use by mem- bers of the organization. Norm Durocher, business mana- ger of the Alaska Yellow Cedal Company at Thane, was welcomec as a new member of the Chambel o Commerce’ He told the members of the Chamber. that the yellow cedar mil! is now sawing both spruce and yel- low cedar, most of it for local use; but the company hopes to saw yel- low cedar exclusively in the future. Both Durocher and Jack Martin, production manager of the mill, are primarily interested in produc- ing boat lumber, although they plan to saw panelling, interior lumber, and furniture lumber from the aromatic cedar. The planned goodwill tour ‘by the Chamber to Whitehorse and Haines was discussed.

Formerly employed by the Terri- torial Department of Labor and the Territorial Treasurer, Beach began work for the city this morning and will complete the assessing job in September, according to Mayor Waino Hendrickson. The council announced at its reg- ular meeting a week ago that an assessor had been selected, but an- nouncement of the council’s choice for the job was not made until after last night’s meeting. Three Juneau residents had applied for the post. C. L. Popejoy, city clerk, carried out the duties of assessor last year, but the expanded city limits, which will mean more work for the man who sets values on the property in the city, prevented his taking over the job this year. The recent annexation of the| Highlands district by the city wil make the assessor’s job a full-time one for five months, Mayor Hen- drickson stated. First step to be taken by Beach in his new post will be the mailing of assessment forms to Juneau property owners. The new assessor will employ ike method of assessing real property employed for the past five years. This roughly consists of setting 2 value on a building according tc cubic capacity of the building, the | type of building, the age of the building, and its condition. “This 'method has veen quite sat- isfactory in the past,” Mayor Hen- drickson said. Beach was a candidate for nomi- nation as Territorial Labor Com- missioner on the Republican ticket.
