dered including such items as
utilities.
Other sources of revenue also
would include any rental units
the city might have, such as
community hall, or other com
munity buildings. Right now
Palmer is paying out over $10,-'
000 a year and getting nothing
back.
Concerning real estate and per
sonal property taxes, the Inde
pendent School District here
functions under the school board
with members of the board elect
ed to the board. Under incorpor
ation the school district would be
divided into two districts for tax
purposes so those living in
town would pay real estate taxes
and personal property taxes (city
taxes) and the school taxes. The
city treasurer would then trans
mit the school taxes to the school
board. The man living outside
the corporate limits would pay
school taxes as he is doing today.
Careful planning for the pres
entation of the petition in Third
District Court includes the setting
up of a financial statement esti
mating revenue and cost of oper
ation of the proposed corporate
city. The financial statement was
prepared by William Head, based
on a careful analysis of figures
from several cities throughout
the territory. The statement to
be presented along with the peti
tion is as follows:
