iax Assessment
Changes Must Be
Reported by August I
Palmer School District Assessor
William Head announced this
week that assessment forms are
being sent this year only to
known real and personal property
owners who have not previously
appeared on the district assess
ment roll.
Property owners who wish to
make changes in their assess
ments should call at the school
assessor’s office in the second
floor of the Neal Wright building
addition by August 1. Otherwise
the assessor will make his assess
ment on the basis of last year’s
figures.
Failure of more than half of the
property owners in the district to
return assessment forms sent out
last year is the reason for this
year’s change in procedure.
New property owners are advis
ed that any real or personal prop
erty acauired by residents of the
district before January 1, 1952, is
subject to this year’s tax of 10
mils. Failure to receive an as
sessment form does not relieve
any resident of his tax liability.
The assessor will start making
up the 1952 tax roll on August 1.
Real and personal property tax
statements may be expected on or
about September 1.

GYMNASIUM SALE
NEARS COMPLETION
Superintendent William T. Zah
radnicek revealed this week that
the nearly year-long negotiation
between the School Board and
the Co-Op for purchase of the
| gymnasium is nearly completed.
The School Board now has a
90-day option to purchase the
gymnasium for $20,000 as soon
as the Co-Op furnishes a deed to
the property.
Much needed renovation of the
gymnasium will probably have to
wait until next year, Zahradnicek
said. Although $18,000 was includ
ed in the 1953 budget for this
renovation, the money had to be
spent on a four-room addition to
the school when it became evi
dent that the new elementary
school would not be completed
this year.
The School Board Monday
night okayed Architect Edwin
Crittenden’s final plans for the
new elementary school. The plans
are now in the process of approval
by the Home Finance Corporation
in Seattle
