Proposed Bond Issue—
(Continued from page 11
«ed to pay two-thirds of the par
ing costs.
The need for the bond issue
is simply this: In order to get
a reasonable contract under bid.
it will be necessary for the city
to pay all costs of the paving at
the time the contract is complet
ed. The $15,000 earmarked for
roads out of the 1956 property
tax will represent only a small
fraction of the total cost. To
raise the balance, bonds will be
sold, as authorized by the voters.
The city will then collect, over a
period of 10 years, from the bene
fited property owners. For every
$100 of paving, $33.33 is a per
manent charge to the city, $66.67
is paid by the city and collected
from the property owners at
$6.67 per year for 10 years.
The bond issue proposition, if
approved, will authorize the city
council to sell bonds for street
improvements. It will not require
the council to sell the bonds.
It should be understood that
voting for the bond issue will
not automatically produce street
paving. The property owners
must take the further step of the
petition.
When a group of property
owners petition the council to
form an improvement district for
the purpose of street impove
nents, the council will form the
district providing the petition re
presents 50 percent or more of
the assessed valuation of the
area described and if said area
is of sufficient magnitude for
a practical unit of construction.
After the formation of the dis
trict, plans and estimates will be
prepared and bonds sold to cov
er the estimated cost of this
work to be done in the district.
The bond issue, if approved,
will provide money for a con
templated project of paving curb
to curb from the hotel to Test’s
garage and from Ward’s corner
to the City Hall, less the paving
to be done by the Alaska Road
Commission (ARC funds have
been earmarked for a 24-foot
strip on Valley street from the
highway to Wasilla road and
from that corner to the Wasilla
road city limits.) Upon comple
tion of this project there should
be enough left of the requested
$200,000 bond authorization to
provide for future improvement
district petitions covering nearly
three miles of strip paving.
The request for the bond issue
authority at this time wouid, if
approved by the voters, make it
possible for the city to join the
ARC contact, thereby securing
a more favorable unit cost and
thus a saving to the city and the
projiez'vy owner.
ti is suggested that any voter
who has questions on this pro
position direct them to Council
men DeJulio or Zahradnicek,
the Council street committee, or
to John Shaw, City attorney.
