PAGE EIGHT | ADDED WING NEW SCHOOL T0 VOTERS MONDAY, APRIL 30 Upon decision of property-own- ing voters next Monday, April 30, will rest whether Juneau's new school, to be built at 12th and Glacier Way, will have an added wing. Called for in nal plans, it is designed to contain two Kkin- dergarten rooms, a cafeteria to serve all of the school, a teachers’ room, nurse's room, office, vault for recor storage rooms, rifle range and additional play space Of the original $750,000 raised for construction the school, of | I | $150,000 has been paid out or com- mitted, for acquiring the school site, preparing the ground for building and for architect’s fees and incidental expenses. During early planning school building pr am, was anticipated that one-half of the building costs would be forthcoming through the General Services Ad- ministration. However, because of federal retrenchment, GSA is now unable to make any committments on the program, or to offer much hope for the future, it was stated. Upon cpening of bids for the new school, as originally planned, the low bid was $743,657.00 and the School Board was fored to accept an alternate bid of $578,294.00 which eliminated the cafeteria wing. The alternate bid furnishes 12 class- rooms, an assembly room, and full basement for playroom in the main building. The $200,000 bond election was then decided upon to deter- mine by the voters, whether or not the cafeteria wing should be added to the present contracted construc- tion. Due to growing scarcity of materials and the fact that the cafeteria wing could be constructed for less cost while the contractor was on the main building job, it was decided to take the problem to the voters. The average of they it bond payment is $41416 on bonds for which the School District is now obligated. The Tobacco Tax income for 1950 was $35,798. Thus, it was pointed out, the school bond tax load would not be as great on the Schoeol Dist- rict as in the past when it made bond payments to the city of eight; and nine thousand dollars a year ‘This year’s return on the Tobacco ! Tax will be around'$41,000 and it is ‘estimated that, with the new added tax on tobacco Passed by the recent legislature in effect, the sum in the next year will reach- $60,000. In all probability, it was said, there will ke no greater school tax bur-| den on taxpayers than at the pres- ent time. Polls will be open from 8 am. to 7 p.m. Persons paying taxes in or out of the city can vote at The Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, but those who pay taxes only in the city must vote there. Polling place at Auk Bay is at the Stanley Jekill residence. Youngsters of thé high and grade school art classes have co-operated in publicizing the bond election by placing posters in various down town store windows. Eugene Temple was the artist for the poster in the Juneau-Young Hardware store window and Rudy Ripley for that in the window at Pan American Airways. Both are students of Max Lewis’ high school art class. Eighth grade posters are in the Juneau Florist's window, which art class is under instruction of Miss Cather- ine Elle. SENATORS, CARDS SURPRISE TEAMS IN NATL. LEAGUE By Associated Press The Washington Senators and St Louis Cardinals are the real sur- prise clubs of the early 1951 season.

Carried Off Field Wally Westlake, Pittsburgh's lef fielder, hurt his left knee sldine into second base. He was carried off the field. In the American League, all the western teams were idle. The only action in addition to Washington- Philadelphia was the Boston Red Sox 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees. Mel Parnell became the first Bos- ton pitcher to go the route, allowinz nine hits including Joe DiMaggio’s first homer. The Sox ripped into Vic Raschi, who shut them out opening day, for all their runs. y two' runs in COLUMBIA RIVER FISHERMEN HAVE PRICE. INCREASE ASTORIA, Ore., April 28, —P— Columbia River fishermen have ac- cepted a 10 per cent price increase offered by packers, assuring the spring commereial fishing sea- son will open on schodule Mon- day. Union officials the fishermen’ of the offer w gin, The increase will boost the price packers will pay for salmon to 27'% cents a pound, a ‘record for the regular spring seasop. Earlier the union had asked 33 eents a pound. In winter season fishermen got 35 announced that vote for acceptance by a3'z to 1 mar- litely when Manager Marty Marion and Owner Fred Saigh talked about the “contending” Cardinals. Today both are in first place. Washington’s dazzling spurt on sensational pitching shot the Sen-!ters ators to the front of the American League pack. Six of Bucky's eight starting pitchers went the route One was lifted for a pinchhitter after eight innings. Gene Bearden the only starter to be knocked out, was sold to Detroit. “Go the route or get out” seems to be Bucky's new deal Sandy Consuegra, the second hal of Bucky’s rhumba twins, did his stuff on the sorry Philadelphia A's last night, with a five-hit, 6-1 job. Thursday night his countryman Connie Marrero, stuffed a one-hit- ter down the A’s throats. Washington historians claim the Senators are off to their best start in history with a 7-1 record. Of course, the A’s were convenien four-time victims. In the last four games, Philadelphia has scored & total of two runs. The A's have lo: eight in a row.
