Notes
By Marylou Ridaoui
Last week’s issue carried a re
sume of the womens’ work in the
University of Alaska Extension
Service Home Demonstration
program for 1955 in the Palmer
area. Paralleling this work is 4-H
wo-k which takes approximately
one-third of the Home Agent’s
time. There were 45 boys and
106 girls enrolled in 4-H club
work in a total of twenty-two
dubs. Thirty-two boys and eigh
ty-two girls completed their pro
jects. Of the total number of
girls, 70 were enrolled in Foods,
66 in Clothing and 5 in Home and
Room Improvement. As noted,
some girls carried more than one
project. Seventy of our mem
bers attended 4-H camp at King’s
Lake.
At the annual Achievement
Nighlts’ Jfcrogram due recogni
tion is given our 4-H leaders,
their assistants, the state win
ners, and all local awards. All
year these splendid folks and
their accomplishments are not
forgotten, although throughout
the winter months 4-H work is
not stressed.

CITY SALES TAX
INCOME ABOUT
SAME AS LAST YEAR
The actual income of the City
of Palmer, since the annual audit
in October, reveals that sales tax
collections are running just about
the same as last year, nearly cent
for cent.
During the period from October
1955 through January, 1956, ac
tual collections in sales tax am
ount to $20,240.51, according to
Frank Connally, city clerk.
Three firms are delinquent in
payments, although one o'* these
firms is in the process of having
an audit made of their books and
has been granted an extention for
this reason.
Refunds from the Territorial
business tax during this period
have amounted to $1,111.38.
To date, Connally reported, $1,
350 has ben collected by the City
of Palmer for business licenses.
Approximately 15 business
houses, which last year were li
censed at this time, have not yet
purchased their 1956 licenses.
Connally stated he believed most
' of thes eare those firms which are
in seasonal-type business.
Magistrate fines are up. To date
$555.50 has been collected. The
city clerk speculated that some
of the increase might be attri
buted to the lodging now avail
able in the basement of the city
hall. “Knowing we now have a
jail and cells in which to hold
prisoners, we seem to be getting
more prompt payments of fines”,
he stated.
Only two building permits have
been issued this winter.
And winding up the income-of
And winding up the income-for
the-city report is the startling
fact that only seven dogs in the
entire city erf Palmer are legally
licensed this year. One female
and seven male dog tags have
been, issued by the city clerk,
who reminded city dwellers that
their pets were to have been li
ensed January 1, 1956. All dogs
running loose, without license
tags, are subject to regulations
set up in the city ordinance.
All city licenses may be pur
chased at the office of the city
clerk in the city hall building.
