School Tax Is
Now Past Due
Valley residents this week
were reminded by Commissioner
Walter E. Huntley that the school
tax for the coming year is now
due and payable. This tax is
payable on demand, according to
law. A penalty of $2.50 is as
sessed for failure to pay.
M. P. Mulaney, territorial tax
commissioner who visited in Pal
mer recently, stated that a rep
resentative from his office is to
arrive in Palmer soon, to check
on all delinquent payments for
any territorial tax. He will be
particularly interested in records
of school tax payments.
The annual school tax is $5.

Wins Spud Contract
(Contnued from Page 1)
stipulation is particularly hard
to fill under Alaskan growing
conditions. Former Army con
tracts have been filied by com
mercial grade potatoes.
The negotiated contract repre
sents probacly not more than
50 per cent of Army and other
governmental requirements for
this year, growers estimate.
Colonel Castner already has
been awarded several produce
contracts, and he is now actively
engaged in lining up the balance
of the potato market for the
Valley Producers Association.
His efforts are expected to assure
all members of that group a fair
return for their potato crop this
year.
