QdiScria!
Special election for annexa
tion of the Bayview School and
six acres of land will be held
Tuesday, April 21. This is an
election for real property own
ers only.
Rumors have been current
lhat the annexation includes the
section that was put out of the
city limits a year ago. This is
not the case. The present Bav
view grounds were never a part
of the city. It belongs to the Ter
i itory and always has. Because
it adjoins the city line on the
northwest is the only reason it
can be annexed now.
Another objection to the an
nexation has been heard thusly:
"Why should Seward taxpay
ers kc o up a school to take care
of children outside the city?”
The answer to this question
is simole enough. The city has
for several years been taking
care of these same children in
the local school building. The
Territory pays luition for all
children outside the city limits;
and will continue to do so wheth
er they arc housed in the main
school building or in the Bay
view building. There is no longer
room in the main building for
all of the enrollment. This year
five classes have been housed in
two church basements and the
Odd Fellows Hall. The Bayview
buildmg will take care of three
grades, and a new building to be
constructed down town, under
lease to the sc mol board, will
take care of two ether classes.
Annexation will not cost city
taxpayers any more than they
are now paying for school pur
poses. All rehabilitation and
equipment of these classrooms
can be paid from tobacco tax
funds which are accruing to
Sc.vaid and in the local bank.
Tobacco tax money can only be
used for construction, repairs
or now equipment of school
buildings. It cannot be used for
general maintenance or opera
tion of school systems.
Bayview School building is
vitally necessary to the school
system for next year. It will
cost the city taxpayers nothing
except for the operation, which
cost must be maintained some
where anyway. Property owners
should vote for annexation in the
best interest of the town.
LOCAL MAN HIGH SCORER
AT NAPTOWNE RIFLE MATCH
Richard Bogard, local sharp
shooter, took three matches
against local, Peninsula and An
chorage shooters at the Nap
towne rifle match last week.
He was also high man in a match
at Cooper Landing earlier in the
winter.
Bogard is interested in start
ing a sportsman’s club in town
which would include more than
just target shooting.
Home; a place where a man
can say anything he pleases be
cause no one pays the slightest
attention to him.
