This figure added to the actual bids
above makes the total cost in excess
of S300,000 That these figures are
conservative is indicated by the state
ment of one of the contractors who
bid on the job that it would cost
$350,000 when ready to be occupied.
1t will no doubt be figured out by
the proponents of the plan how little
the additional money needed will af-
feet the taxes. This has always been
the argument when any such scheme
is proposed yet the result has been an
exorbitant increase in taxes. If each
proposition has been so insignificant
in itself, where has the increase come
from? Compare your taxes just paid
with those of ten years ago. On a
$4,000 assessment ten years ago they
were approximately $S5, this year
they were $163.50 on the same assess
ment-almost double. Where is the
stopping place going to be?
What will the taxes be if $125, 900 is
added to the $4,000 already voted?
Do not forget that we already have
100000 worth of bonds on account Of
the municipal building and will have
to raise $4,000 more for furniture
anu 6QuIpIu0lIt. uGC1GI VI uOI you
favor the municipal building it is
there and we have it to pay for. Both
new buildings will mean increased
operating costs which will be perpet-
ual.
In the very near future some per-
manent street improvements must be
made and a new stand pipe is a pos
sibility any time, to say nothing about
other expenses than can never be
forseen. We cannot spend all the
taxes for school and municipal build
ings indefinitely. Do you realize that
the total Of all this means an expen-
diture of almost half a million dol
lars? Such an amount is ridiculous
and is a serious matter in city Of
our size.
The majority of the people in this
community do not oppose new high
school of reasonable size, but are OPP
posed to any such burden as this. The
original $4,000 will build now a
building adequate for years to come
if we will only bring our ideas down
to meet our pocketbook. Can we af-
ford a 100000 high school in vii
lage of $500 people?

FACTS AND FIGURES ON THE
NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
&C. B. Ziegler)


With the new high school PROPOSE
ton about to come before the people
again a few figures may be of inter
est at this time. 1t lis doubtful if very
many people comprehend the size of
the building and the financial burden
that will be imposed upon them. L
is also doubtful if all the school boart
itself realizes the size of the building
as shown by the plans. Why is It
that all building committees contain
so few men with practical building
experience? We are all familiar with
the Court House, admittedly large
building Do you realize that the
ground area of the proposed new high
school is over two and one-half times
that of the court house? Do you
know that the actual frontage is the
length of one of our city blocks?

public the following is list of the

ed. will not be determined until the
President and the cabinet officers IN
question have looked Alaska over
with their own eyes. There is, at
the outset of their journey Of investi-
CATION only one certainty; that is,
that the need for sweeping reorgani-
zation Is urgent, and that something G
to take the place of the present dis
organization and over organization
can no longer be postponed.
Possible Food supply.
One feature of Alaska that has not
been stressed, but into which the
Presidents party is going to look
carefully, is the territory's future as
a source of food supply for the United
States. Some authorities consider 1t
well within the range of possibilities
that reindeer can be bred in Alaska
on a scale sufficient to develop a great
packing industry there and supply
large sections of the United states
with meat Instead of the 100000
reindeer now maintained under fed
eral supervision. there seems no
sound reason why there shouldn't be
100000 with a corresponding in
crease in the meat supply derived
from them. The salmon industry OF
Alaska is also capable OF wide ex-
pansion. Already $50,00O.000 is in
vested in salmon canneries. There
is a new system Oh cOHtTOl HtCessdFy
in the salmon trade, to prevent over
fishing" The salmon fisheries at
present are not only not economically
or scientifically conducted, but are
actually being destroyed.
Apart from foodstuffs. possibly the
greatest potential asset of Alaska,
from the standpoint of economic de-
velopment. is the pulp industry.
Growth of that trade hitherto has
been seriously restricted by the
"stumpage" policy that has been pur-
sued by the United States govern
ment. The result has been that the in :
dustry is mainly in the hands Of
Americans operating under more fa-
vorable conditions on the Canadian
side of the Alaskan border. which is
dotted with large pulp mills. With a
