L C. FTOCK HEADS
FAIR BOARD
The board of directors of the
Valley Fair Association elected t
president. L. C. Stock, and drew
up the expense side of its annua!
budget in a three-hour work ses
sion last Monday evening. Next
Monday’s session is expected to
produce the income side of the
budget
Directors estimate that it wdll
cost nearly $16,000 to produce the
eleventh annual Matanuska Val
ley Fair this fall. Largest single
items on their budget include pre
miums, printing, fencing materi
als and salaries and commissions
The directors were agreed that
some sort of fence, probably a
seven-foot tall, wooden type, must
be constructed this year. They
discussed, tentatively, a plan
whereby Valley merchants would
be asked to build a certain num
ber of feet of front fencing, in re
turn for the advertising space j
thereon. The plan was not for
mally adopted, but will be con
sidered further.
The group also voted to attempt
to interest the manager of a don
key baseball concession in a show
at fair-time this year.

18 GSA Projects
Are Under Way
In Territory
*
Work already has begun on 18
projects being financed by the
General Services Administration,
district engineer John Argetsinger
announced in Juneau recently. Of
the 18 jobs already begun, 11 are
schools, five are for sanitation
projects, one is a library and one
is a public building.
Mr. Argetsinger said that many j
other communities had made ap
plication for GSA funds, but ap
proval was being held up because
of the lack of an organization to
assume responsibility for the re
quested projects.

Chilkoot Won't Pay Taxes
Because They're Too High
The reason the town of Vacco
and the Port Chilkoot Company
haven’t paid their school taxes, is
because they think those taxes
are too high, a witness testified in
the court of Judge George Folta
at Juneau last week. The school
district has put up the former
Chilkoot Barracks property for
tax sale, and the whole matter
was hauled into court by the
Chilkat Valley Taxpayers’
League, an organization formed
to fight the payment of the school
taxes, as assessed in 1948.
'Help the Census-Taker,'
^r. Anderson Asks
Valley census-taking is pro
gressing according to schedule,
ere leader Merle Anderson
said this week. He particularly
requests the co-operation of all
Valley residents who are away
from home when the enumer
ate 'irst calls. “If you can’t
be there during the days, leave
a note on your door saying
when you will be home,” he
asks.
Jim Brown of the Anchorage
divisional office stressed again
the importance of counting
i every single resident of the
! Territory. Federal anoropria
| tion of funds always takes into
| consideration the population of
; an area, he pointed out.
