House Bill No. 10
Musical Program

After the appointment of various committees, a musical program was given consisting of clarinet duets by Carl Jensen and Lyle Bradley with Mr. Kuehr at the piano and song by Dorothy Johnson accom- panied by Miss Vessel. This was followed by "The Financing of a School Building by Dr. Whaley.
 pr. Whaley prefaeed his estimate of the cost to the taxpayers of a new school building by asking why there is less interest in education in ,Wrangell than in any other place in which he has lived, and told specifically of conditions ir Whitman County, Washington. where the school tax levy is from 5 to 27 mills and where every thing above 10 mills has to be au- thorized by the voters. He stated that these voters, farmers mostly, voted year after year for the in- crease in taxes for school purposes and said that they did it because they feel that they gel full value in the educational facilities thus provided for the girls and boys. He ascribed the indifference to ed ucational matters in Wrangell as possibly due to the fact that it is possible to make a good living here without an education, to a lack of competition in living conditions and more equality among the peo- pie, and to the growth of the cor respondenee school, enlarging upon these points and using in one in stance an illustration from the story of the life of Lincoln to prove that superior ability in small place is not always sufficient to win him recognition where eompe- tition is more keen. Dr. Whaley spoke of the school houses in Jul neau, Ketchikan, Petersburg and Sitka and asked why Wrangell war the only community in Southeast ern Alaska without adequate school facilities.

Mrs. ". 5. Binkley Dead

With deep regret the people of Nrangell on Monday received the news Of the death of Mrs. W. s. Binkley who passed away in Jn- neau where she had gone for medi- cal treatment about two weeks be- fore her death She was aceompan led to Juneau by her daughter, Mrs. c. A. Lloyd After a few days she seemed so much better that Mrs Lloyd returned to Wrangell Ieay- Ing her mother under the care of physicians. Death was pronounced due to dropsy of the heart.
 The remains were brought from Juneau on the Northwestern. The funeral will be held from the Cath ollie church at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. the last sad rites being deferred until the arrival of Paul Binkley from Karheen.
 Mrs. Binkley was born in La= cygne, Lynn county. Kansas. in 1870 and was therefore 57 years of age. Her maiden name was Eva Arbogast. At the age of IT she came west with her family who settled in Pendleton. Oregon. A year later she was married to w. 2 BinKley who was also born in La cygne, Kansas. An odd thing in this connection is the fact that Mir Bfnkley never met the woman of his choice until she came west. although they were both born in the same town, and his grandfather performed the ceremony when her parents were married.
 The Binkley family came to AL aska eleven years ago. and te Wrangell ten years ago. Far the past four years they have resided on Farm Island.
 Mrs. Binkley was a woman with big heart of which outward man ifestations were the very smallest part She was a good neighbor and took a lively interest in the activi- ties of the American Legion AuxiI- ary and the Parent-Teacher Associ- ation.
 Mrs. Binkley is survived by her husband and six children. and four teen grandchildren. The childrei are: Mrs. Sadie Merritt of Stan ley. Idaho, Loyal Binkley of Wran= gell, Paul Binkley of Karheen, AL aska, Mrs Chester A. Lloyd, Mrs. Arthur Moritz and Albert Binkley all of Wrangell

Dr. Whaley Talks on Financing a
 School Building

Taking up the financial side Of the question, Dr. Whaley said that the total income of the town of iWrangell for 1926 was about $2O,- 900 of which $12,O0O was local revenue and the balance from Ter ritorial sources. The school budg- ct for the same period, for school maintenance which does not in elude repairs, amounted to $21,O0O. The towns share of this was one fourth or $5,25O. Repairs have averaged we'll above $1,OOO year for the last four years in addition to the maintenance which in Jude salaries, lighting, heating, books, etc, so Dr. Whaley figured them at $1,OO0 per year, as a conservative estimate. No refund comes from the Territory for repairs.

Figures Out Cost on Blackboard

Using the blackboard, the speak CT figured the cost to the taxpayers on the $50,0OO bonding issue, 20 year bonds at per cent, as fol- lows:
 Interest on the bonds for the first year, s3,000, plus the amount retired, $2,500, would amount to s5,500 in addition to the general tax levy. The repair item of $1,OOO would be eliminated with a new school, so that sum applied on the bonding would leave the increase needed $4,500 for the first year.
 It was stated that the bill pro- viding for greater financial support for schools of incorporated towns was reasonably certain to pass the Senate having passed the House without a dissenting vote and that under this bill, Wrangell would re- ceive 90 percent refund from the Territory instead of 75 percent, af fecting saving of $3,150 on the present budget. Instead of paying $5,250 as the towns share of thf $21,O00 budget, Wrangell would pay $2,100, and the Territory, $lS,' 900, a saving that would reduce the increase for the bond issue very materially. Based on this saving the $50,000 would add 11A cents

 Mrs. Wheeler Leads Playfield
 Discussion
 The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr Arola and opened with assembly singing fol- lowed by the usual brief business session. Under new business, Mrs Wheeler. president of the school board. gave a short description of the proposed playfield fol the ehil- dren of Wrangell She stated that it's purchase had been urged by the Civic Club and suggested that the Pr. A. take some action in regard to it inasmueh as that organization consists mainly of parents who would be interested in the project To make the matter clear to every one, Mr. Rasmussen had prepared some charts, she said. which would show the size and shape of the tract under consideration, and it's exact location
 Supt. Rasmussen Uses Charts to
 Explain Playfield Tract
 MT. Rasmussen explained that the charts had been prepared so that the desirability of the pro posed playfeld could be discussed intelligently. These charts were placed against the blackboard at one end of the meeting room, one after another, and all of the items of information were gone over thor oughIy. The entire Gartley and Gurr addition was shown and ii was stated that the whole section had been under consideration but that the City Council on visiting the tract had decided that the en- tire piece was more land than needed and that therefore only the part lying south of Reid street was under consideration at this time, piece consisting of eleven lots at a cost of S2,0O0. This section lies between Reid Street and Church Street and adjoins the present high school property.
 MT. Rasmussen stated that he was not in agreement with the opinion of the Council that the small section was enough land for the purpose as he felt that the whole should be secured. How ever, he explained that he was act ing merely in an advisory capacity in preparing the charts. In show ing these, he pointed out the lodges of rock which traverse the land both north and south of Reid Street, and showed the practically flat sections next to Church Street as well as nearer Reid. He gave the difference in elevation at vary ing points and stated that the depth of soil and moss was from F to feet, and that drainage which was of importance to a play field did not in his opinion present great difficulties owing to the for nation and general slope of the land. The relation of the ground to the town as whole was made clear by a dot map. On this map, representing an immense amount of work, a dot had been placed for every school child, just where he lives, and when these dots were counted, line dividing them equally east and west and again north and south, placed the center of school population just below the proposed playifeld which em- phasized further it's desirability.
