WHO WILL COLLECT THE
TAXES ?
the lav/ is passed.
In answering questions raised at the
meeting, hr. LTiller explained that
all those having property within the
Palmer Independent School district
should ignore the forms recently re
ceived from the Territory. These
apply only to property lying outside
of the Palmer District or any Inde
pendent School District. The forms
which will be issued by the local
district will be very similar to
those sent out from the Tax Commis
sioner’s office and can be HS-,d to
list property now so that all one
needs to do when the local forms are
published will be to copy the infor
mation onto the local forms. Tins
could help to speed things up a
little. l»Ir. Miller also explained
that thcr- may be some persons who
have property lying without the
Palmer School ^istrict as well as
within the district. In this caso
all property lying outside must be
listed on the Territory forms and
filed with the Territory, while that
within the district will be listed
on the School x'istrict_forms and
filed with the'School- Board.
PTA HAS LARGE ATTENDANCE
The Palmer PTA is beginning the year
with record attendances. At both
meetings this year the Lunch room
has been filled with interested par
ents and teachers.
At the opening of the meeting on Tues
day, Lrs. Charles Schaefer gave a
brief history of the formation of
the Palmer Independent School Listric
Polluting her report, Mr. ’-illiam
Zahradnicek gave a history of the
growth of the school. The figures
given by the new superintendent were
rather surprising. In 1934-25 Palmer
had 25 pupils. In 1936 there were
152, in 1937 there were 278. Up un
til 1946 the number remained between
250 and 300. Ir: 1946 there were
312. in 1947 there were 351, in 1945
there were 424, and in 1949 there
were 436. The increase this year
tops all increases except that of
1935 to 1936. This fall there are
515 pupils enrolled in the Palmer
School.
