Access to Rabbit Slough
Threatened by Wanton
Disregard of Property
Mrs. Julius Edmonson of Mat
anuska protested this week about
the careless misuse of the Ed
monson property near the cabin
across the tracks where fisher
men gain access to Rabbit Slough
She made it clear that she
doesn’t mind having people walk
along the path by the creek or
drive their cars as far as possible.
She does mind the destruction of
her garden and property. In gain
ing access to their favorite spot
for fishing silver salmon, thought
less trespassers drive through the
garden, pull up vegetables, use
boards from the house to get cars
out of mudholes, take down fenc
es, disregard and destroy signs,
and generally leave the place in
an awful mess.
Deputy Marshall Bill Bouwens
said today that those who travel
over the Edmonson property are
definitely trespassing. The Ed
monsons don’t mind this if reas

onable consideration of property
rights is shown. If the misuse of
their property continues, how
ever, they will have to deny ac
cess to Rabbit Slough through
their property, Bouwens said. He
explained that the Edmonsons
live in Matanuska because the old
house on their property is unin
habitable. Thus, they are unable
to be on hand 24 hours a day to
protect their property.

Assessor Says—
farm been less than double the
assessment carried on the tax
rolls, the assessor added. The tax
roll is a public record and. as
such, is open to public scrutiny.
This is not true of individual
assessment records. which are
confidential.
True Value
Criticism that current sale
prices and construction cost of
new buildings do not reflect “true
value” as interpreted by the 1949
law regarding the assessment of
property was countered by a
“rule of thumb” procedure ap
plied in such cases. Under this
procedure, a valuation based on
75 percent of a current sale price
or the construction cost of a new
building would offset any infla
tionary addition to a true market
value, Head explained.
1950 District Assessment
The total assessment on real
and personal property in the
Palmer School District was $4,
370.000 on the 1950 tax roll. After
the tax roll had been prepared,
hitherto untaxed properties were
discovered. These raised the to
tal assessed value of the District
to $5,043,113.
From the above assessment,
$48,000 was collected. Back tax
es and taxes on properties still
unlisted are yet to be collected.
The first listing of delinquent
properties will be made next
spring, Head said. This list will
include properties on which tax
es for 1949. 1950. and 1951 have
not been paid. A tax sale will fol
low some time during the sum
mer of 1952.
Could Reach S80.000
“When all taxable properties
are uncovered and inequalities
corrected, tax collections in the
district could easily reach a total
of $80,000”, the assessor estimat
ed. This would reflect a total
assessed valuation for the district
of $8 million.
Taxpayers will be interested in
the possibility that correction of
such inequalities and failure to
report taxable properties might
add $30,000 to school income in
view of School Board action last
week. In applications for a $1
111.000 school building and a
$400,000 gymnasium, the district
would need approximately $43,
000 per year for the amortizing
of its 50 percent share of the
building costs. Receipts from the
tobacco tax are expected to take
care of $28,000 yearly. The bal
ance must be obtained from other
sources of school revenue over
and above school operating ex
penses or the School Board is
pledged to raise the tax levy on
the school district.
Trophy Fish On Display
At Palmer Fountain
“Wow!” is the expression most
used by viewers as they exclaim
over Dolly Varden and Rainbow
trout on display at the Palmer
Fountain.
Brought in today by Ken West
enbarger and A1 Dickow, who
caught them in the Upper Kenai
River, the heaviest Dolly goes
nine pounds and six ounces with
a large rainbow trailing at six
pounds, three ounces. Two more
fish, a Dolly weighing six pounds
twelve ounces and a rainbow at
four pounds, fourteen ounces also
were caught by the men. »
The heavier Dolly and Rain
bow have been entered in the
Sportsmen’s Fish Derby and will
probably be hard to beat.
