Community College—
continued rrom page 1
stated he did not feel the coun
cil had had sufficient time to
make a clear study of the pro- ’
posed budget and suggested a
committee meet with the school
board members for a mutual dis
cussion. Mayor Kenneth Lynn
asked members of the city budget
and finance committee (Koslos
ky and Charles Logsdon) to act
as the city committee.
Zahradnicek pointed out that
unless plans are made for the fu
ture the community could be
caught short. “One hundred fami
lies moving in here within four
or five years time could put us
way behind. It will be a year at
the best before the addition to
Swanson School can be complet
ed and the students moved in’'.,
he added.
“Each community is watching
the school transportation ques
tion. There is a move under way
to shift the costs of transporta
tion back to the school districts.
It has been estimated that the
Territorial school budget fund
will be $700,000 short and we
may have our budget knocked off
five percent of reimburseable
funds if the new Legislature does
not come through with funds,
this money will have to come out
of our pockets”, the school su
perintendent pointed out.
Councilmen stated they would
like to know the public opinion
on increasing the tax rate to cov
er the proposed budget.
In referring to the costs esti
mated for the operation of the
Community College, Zahradnicek
explained that under the match
ing fund plan 75 percent of all
tuitions go to the University as
j the community’s share of support
of the Community College. Com
munity colleges must receive
part of their support from the
community.

j DEAR DOCTOR:
We wish to welcome you to Palmer and trust that you
will enjoy your stay here. I would like to take a moment of
your time to let you know of the service I have to offer.
I am engaged in the sale of Investment Securities. This
includes the securities of a 23-year-old investment trust with
$88 million of assets, as well as listed and over-the-counter
stocks and corporate and municipal bonds.
My first obligation to you is that of an investment ad
visor—to assist you in determining your investment objectives
and then to assist you in charting the course most likely to
attainment.
I will be attending a display of investment information in
the Severn’s Building (on the corner opposite the Elks Hall)
June 3 through June 6. Drop in to see me. I try to be advised
on local as well as nationally distributed stocks and bonds.
There are a few Palmer Street Improvement Bonds available
