1951-1952 1952-1953
General Control
S 7,790.00 $ 11,160.00

to the necessity for a full-time
clerical employee for the Board
and superintendent’s office.)
Instruction
101,295.00 131,610.00

sion of the teaching staff from 21

members $400.00 cost of living
salary increases.)
Operation of Plant
17.400.00 19,225.00
(Janitors' salaries will total
more than last year. Also, the
cost of materials have increased,
making it necessary to budget
more for supplies.)
Maintenance and Repair
12.500.00 3,500.00
(This item is down from last
year. However, last year’s bud
get covered the cost of painting
the building both inside and out
side. This painting item ran just
under $9,000.00.)
Fixed Charges
2,150.00 7,650.00
(The increase here is due to
the necessity of more rentals.
The current budget allows $6.
000.00 for renting outside quar
ters for classes. In the event
Bayview school is taken over,
this amount will not be used for
rentals.)

ODD FELLOWS' CEMETERY
PLOT CLEANED UP
Older boys of the Jesse Lee
Home were busy cleaning up
the Odd Fellow's section of the
Seward Cemele r v recently.
They were engaged for this work
by the Seward Odd Fellow’s
Lodge and have made a remark
able improvement in the ap
pearance of the cemetery.
After cutting grass and clean
ing out old grass and debris,
the boys planted wild iris in
the plot.
These boys are always glad
to earn a little spending money
for themselves, and may be en
gaged by other organizations
to make a complete cleanup of
the cemetery, which should be
done ('very year. They work
under the supervision of their
house mother. Miss Betty Boyd.
long overdue.)
Debt Services
19,858.25 19,098.75
(This item is determined on
the bond redemption schedule
and is constantly decreasing.)
TOTAL BUDGET
S175.593.75 $214,063.73
With the expenditure of any
public monies, the big question
is always where the money will
come from. The funds to meet
the 1952-1953 school budget will
be derived from the following
sources:
Territorial Rebates
Paid to School
Board from the
City Treasury
Paid directly from
the City
Treasury
Cost of Operation
of the school
Lunchroom
TOTAL
S112.931.25
70,383.75
20,748.75
10,000.00
$214,063.75
Costs of operation of public
schools has been increasing con
stantly since the end of the war.
With the decreasing buying
power of the dollar, this is only
to lie expected. Not only schools
and other public institutions are
finding this situation; private
business enterprises also are be
coming more and more costly
to operate. Tin- difference is
largely that public institutions
are supported from public tax
funds, and so the money prob
lems of these public institutions
receive more attention from the
general public than do the prob
lems of private business.
Perhaps the above summary
•of the school finance situation
here will be helpful in keeping
the citizens of Seward informed
about their schools. Yes, it costs
a lot of money to run them.

enforce this act. Likewise the in
spectors of the Alaska Depart
ment of Fisheries and tlie agents
•of the U S. Fish and Wildlife
Service are hereby fully author
ized to enforce this act.
(b) Licenses shall be subject
to inspection, and shall, upon
request by any officer author
ized to enforce this act, be ex
hibited to him. Failure to pro
cure or exhibit such license as
indicated above or otherwise
comply with this act shall be a
misdemeanor, and upon convic

subject to a fine not to exceed
$100.00 or imprisonment not to
exceed six months, or both such
line and imprisonment.
Section 8. EXEMPTION
All resident Indians, Eskimos
and Aleuts shall be exempt from
provisions of this act.
Many sports fishermen arc
severely criticizing the practice
brought about by this law of
being forced to purchase a Ter
ritorial license in addition to the
Federal permit.
Concensus of opinion among
sportsmen (and there is a differ
ence) is that the license itself is
not unreasonable, but they do
not agree with the practice of
having to pay the issuing agent
the additional fee for the paper
work. They mostly believe that
every cent paid in the purchase
should be used for the conserva
tion and propagation of fish and
game. This opinion generally ap
plies to the purchase price of
the Federal license as well. A
percentage of the purchase price
of the Federal permit is retained
by the seller. It is a widespread
opinion that both licenses would
be handled by the various sports
equipment dealers free of charge
as an accommodation to their
fishing gear and hunting equip
ment customers, providing the*
entire amount were converted to
conservation and propagation.
This article is published to let
sportsmen know exactly what
the Territorial license law com
prises. and a summary of the
opinions of many of their fellow
sportsmen. As for the chronic
griper or non-sportsman, for
them this newspaper has no sym

SEWARD. NEBRASKA TO
SEWARD. ALASKA
That Seward, Nebraska is ex
actly 4,157 miles from Seward,
Alaska was proven this week
by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Davis
son and family when they ar
rived here Tuesday after mak
ing the trip without any side
tours.
Mr. Davisson is the man re
sponsible for starting the inter
change of athletic scores by mail,
earlier in the year. The school
track meet, first in local history,
was held this year and Seward,
Alaska lost to Seward, Nebraska.
Plans are being made now for
an airmail basketball tourna
ment with the Stateside Seward.
A bowling match was also sug
gested and will get underway
by fall. It was necessary to build
a bowling alley in the Nebraska
Seward before this contest could
be perfected. The Seward. Ne
braska bowling alley is now
under construction by Mr. Davis
son and should be ready to roll
by September 1.
The two cities are very nearly
the same size, although entirely
different in surroundings. The
Davissons were appalled by road
conditions on the highway from
Anchorage, which we take as a
matter of course.
After a fishing trip and a tour
of Jesse Lee Home. Seward
Sanatorium and Seward Gen
eral Hospital, Mr. and Mrs.
Davisson and children Mona,
Buddy and Gary, and Mrs. Da
visson's niece Beverly Hines,
began the long trek home, but
promised to return again in two
years. They were guests of Mr.
and Mrs. John Coleman, of the
Record.
