SUSSEX LEVY COURT
MAY REDUCE TAXES
[Coniinned from FWn Pagrl

and bridge construction, general
maintenance and miscellaneous eX-
penses,, Mr.. Hill said.
All three of the Levy Court Com
missioners were said to favor some
cut in the tax rate. They are now
endeavOring to sound out public
opinion. The proposal to cut the
rate has many supporters, principal
ly among the farmers who have
been hit by economic conditions.
Mr.. Hill said that the country
highway department would une
dOubtedly bear the brunt of any tax
decrease. No road construction and
the necessary road maintenance, he
said, would be badly crippled if the
road funds are curtailed.
The Levy Court will not fix the
tax rate for the next year until the
first Tuesday in April. Some reports
are that the court is considering a
cut in the rate as high as fifty per
cent. Other reports are that the rate
VIII be cut only about ten per cent.
In his talk before the Rotary Club
Mr.. Hill cited figures to show that
the Levy Court in wrestling with the
problem of cutting the tax rate and
still provide for needed improve
ments is enmeshed in a difficult
task.
Mr.. Hill cited that expenses of the
judiciary in the county have been
about 1922 each year
and that the cost of caring for pris-
1ners by the county had increased
rom $4,000 in 1926 to $4,000 in
1880, and will probably total $4,000
his year. Expenses of the sheriff's
office have increased at the rate of
about 1922 year for several years.
he said, while the sick and INDECENT
und increased from $4,000 to $500.

DENlzEN OF ALASKA GAN
 REST IN PEACE
Primi Genus Has New Home in Terri
 torial Museum

After restless wanderings over a period of half million years, one of Alaska's early inhabitants at last is about to enter on an era of peace and quiet amid pleasant, luxurious surroundings in this city. E,ephas Primi Genus has been pro vided with a place of honor in the Territorial Museum in the Capitol. Known commonly as mammoth, his skull, tusks and right humerus soon will repose in new plate glass case. much to the gratifica- tion of Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, curator of the Northland's collec- ticn of rare curiositieS.
 Excellent Specimens
 sThe mammoth relics he said today as he gazed at them admir- ingly and affectionately, are ex- cellent specimens of creature that knew Alaska in her warm CT, more salubrious days. I am glad to have the remains of this early denizen in these comfortable, steam -heated quarters. They are congenial to him.
 These well preserved bones, D the curator lapsed into remin- iscent mood, were found at a depth of 98 feet in the ground by placer miners of the Toloyano dis trict and were used by the fined CTS to pay their board bill at a roadhouse conducted by Frank Matusaka, a Japanese In 1924, his monetary needs oyercame his archaeological tendencies, and he brought his relics to Juneau. With other fossils, the mammoth bones were purchased for $200, the mon ey having been originally raised by deputies of William L. Distin. surveyor general of Alaska to buy a loving cup for him. As he died before the proposed gift was pur- chased, the money was devoted to- ward establishing the William L. Distin Memorial in the Museum.
 Other Rare Articles
 Included in the articles that Matusaka obtained from Tolovana miners were the skulls of musk OK and water buffalo, the verte- brae of an animal that no scien- tist in the government service has been able to identify and the tc2Sh of a mastodon. which by the way is the only relic of masto- don ever found in Alaska The mammoth bones and the mastodon tooth are perhaps the most valua- ble parts of the Matusaka collec- tion.e The mastodon case is feet, [ inches long; 4 feet. inch wide, and feet high It rests on an 18-inch base.
 The museum has also received a map-filing cabinet and has glass case for the collection of

meteorological work in Alaska. It is hoped to equip Point Barrow, latitude II 2S' north, an impor- tant station in the first polar year, that complete meteorological ob- servations will be obtained both at the surface and in the free air.
 There will be close cooperation between stations established pri- marily for magnetic, for alroral, CT for meteorological work. The Carnegie Institute of Washington is especially active in preparation for magnetic and auroral observa- tions.
 pr. Jules Schokalski, presidente da la Scociete Geographical Russe, and Maj. Gen. Adolptus W. Gree ly, United States Army, are among the very few living men who took an active part in the work of the first polar year Doctor Schok- alski was prominent in the discus sion of questions considered at the meeting of the commission at Len- ingrad in August, 1880, and Gen. eral Greedy is an active member of a committee that is attempting to organize an expedition to occupy Fort Conger, the station where he made his headquarters 50 years ago.
 One can not help contrasting conditions 50 years ago, when a relief expedition could not locate Lieutenant Greedy and his party at the end of their first year in the Arctic, and today, when it is ex- pected that continuous contact by wireless will be maintained with all parties in the Arctic.
