Assessment cards and state
ments of Real and Personal Pro
?riy of the City of Nome are be
. g mailed Dec. 10th. which pro
perty owners are urged to look
over carefully before the Nome
City Council sits as a Board of
Equalization. DECEMBER 15TH.
16TH AND 18TH.
A reappraisal of personal and
real property was made this sum
rr.er to attain a basis of equal dis
tribution of assessment throughout
the town as well as a means of get
ting more revenue for the City to
r.eet the increasing operational
costs of School. Health and City
Departments.
In order to equalize valuation of
real property, labor and material
costs of a normal year (1942) were
adopted. The number of cubic feet
at an estimated value per cubic
foot according to a classified scale,
and allowing for depreciation for
age and condition of building was
computed for every structure, gar
age and shed in the limits of
Nome. No building in use depreci
ates more than 50%. A certain per
' ent of depreciation will be made
.n structures according to their
rondition from year to year. The
alue of lots is based upon $200.00
to $500.00 value per standard lot
( -O' x 140') according to its loca
tion. Front Street lots are valued
at $100.00 per front foot with a
25% reduction on all South Front
Street lots, location extending
on south side from the Snake
River revetment to Steadman Ave.
and on the north side from B. St.
to Steadman Ave.
Personal property was assessed
a! replaceable value. Tenants and
residents alike are assessed with a
$200.00 exemption allowance.
For many years City property
has remained under a low apprais
al but the rate of taxation has
been 2%. the highest allowed by
Territorial Law. This year a higher
and more equitable assessment al
lows the Board of Equalisation a
sliding scale for a lower tax rate,
the determining factor being the
amount of personal and real as
sessment and the yearly budget for
School and Municipal purposes.
Property tax remains the City's
chief source of revenue, without
it the City cannot meet its many
present day obligations, nor can it
offer a constructive program for
the future for reconditioning of
streets and drains, replacing of old
fire mains and fire alarm system.

Throughout Italy
(By Frank Brutto)
ROME, </P) — New disorders
erupted in Sicily yesterday, and
the threat of a general strike hung
over Rome’s province as Premier
Alcide de Gasperi’s harrassed gov
ernment was peppered with quer
ies in the constituent assembly on
the recent crash of rioting through
out Ftaly.
Italian labor leaders deferred
until today a decision on a gen
eral s*trike for the Rome province
to support their demands on the
Christian Democratic government.
There were unconfirmed reports
that the Communists and leaders
of the pro-Communist wing of the
Socialists were at odds over the
walkout. The Socialists were said
to consider it inopportune.
Reports from Sicily said disor
ders broke out at Vittoria, a town
of 40,000 in the southernmost pro
vince of Ragusa. The dispatches
said police used tear gas to dis
perse a march of 1,000 Commun
ists and partisan veterans on local
headquarters of the avowedly Fas
cist Italian Social movement. The
national partison congress in Rome
Monday demanded the dissolution
of that movement.
Several persons were reported
injured, one critically. Police re
stored order at Vittoria with rein
forcements from nearby towns.
Alexander II of Russia liberated
20,000,000 serfs at the time of the
American Civil War which result
ed in the freeing of the slaves.
