trict and would also pay an ad
ditional property tax to the city
of Palmer.
In an article recently appearing
in the Frontiersman, referenct
was made to “merging the collec
tion facilities of both taxes.” This
would be done under incorpora
tion solely as a matter of con
venience for the taxpayer whc
would then be enabled to pay
I both school district and city prop
j erty taxes at one office. The
! School District taxes are then im
i mediately turned over to the
j school tax collector of treasurer,
j the ^spokesman pointed out.
"It would mean that as the
j machinery is already estab
lished for collection of the
School District taxes, those
taxes and city property taxes
could all be paid at the same
place," it was stressed. Thus a
considerable saving could be ef
fected by letting one office col
| led both taxes.
! The spokesman also called a*
I tention to a bill which calls f
j fiscal independence of first class
or independent school districts in
Alaska which is to be introduced
I in the forthcoming Territorial
! Legislature. He said that this bill
! will not affect the status of the
Palmer School District at the
present time. In the event of in
corporation of Palmer the pas
sage of the act would protect the
Palmer School District and as
sure its continued functioning
without interference from the
city council.
The proposed boundary for the
incorporated city are: ' on the
south the line takes in the south
end of the Fair grounds; on the
west, Lucas subdivision and part
of John Bugge subdivision, also
Bailey and Hill streets; on the
north the section line between
Section 28 and Section 33, and
on the east by the Matanuska
river.
