Assessor Spikes Rumor
About School Tax
Don’t you believe it.
Just because there’s a lawsuit
involving the territorial property
tax in Alaska’s Fourth Division,
that doesn’t excuse Valley resi
dents from paying their school
district taxes. There’s no relation
between the two taxes.
• That was the worci of warning
issued by the Palmer district’s
tax assessor, Alva B. Saxton.
Deadline for the payment of
school tax is March 1, he remind
ed. All taxes not paid by that date
become delinquent and subject
to an added penalty of 15 per
cent. That penalty increases at
the rate of one percent per month,
until the tax is paid.
“We don’t want people to get
confused about the Fairbanks
test case, and then find them
selves faced with a penalty pay
ment on their school tax,” Mr.
Saxton said. “We have repeat
edly stated that the situation is
unrelated. You must pay youjr
Palmer school tax, whether1 the
Fairbanks case is won or lost.”
Westenborger, Harris,
Fleming, Top Shooters

Top junior ( scorers in the

CONVENIENCE
It's hard to describe the con
venience and pleasure that
comes with using modern-day
electric appliances.
For example, cooking on an
up-to-date range actually is
fun.
These things can be yours
with electricity.
Don't be without it.
