Anchorage Property ReYalued For Taxation

Appraisement notices informing Anchorage property owners of the assessments made during the recent reyaluation of the city, have been sent taxpayers in the form of postal cards.
 Total valuation of real property in the city under the revaluation pro- gram is $3,173,380 compared to S1.- 857,8OO under the old setup. Person al property is valued at $1,013,550 compared to the old valuation of $795, ,25O. The new figures are sub ject to revision. Next years budget will be made during November and the tax rate will then be determin- ed.
 The purpose of the revaluation was to equalize the values on var ious properties throughout the town, city officials pointed out, Property was assessed many years ago and since then values have in creased or diminished in various sections so that the assessments were out of line.
 Major reason for the increase in total valuations was given as a change from using 75 per cent of the value to that of 100 per cent of the value.

More Money Needed
 Indian Welfare Work

George c. Penny, supervisor of the welfare department, Office of Indian Affairs, has asked for $117.- 900 for his department next year. There are 30,000 natives in the ter ritory and while medical and school appropriations run into big figures, the welfare appropriation this year was but $25,O00.
 There are 1858 full orphans list ed by MT. Penny and 627 abandoned children making a total of 1885 mi nors who require attention besides many children in native family cir cles that are in need of help.
 This does not take account of adults. Tuberculosis alone has made inroads upon the native population to an alarming extent.
 A helpful note was sounded by the Alaskan Railroad says MT. Pen ny, when assurance was made that at least $50 natives would be em- ployed on the sections next year.
 This work was commonly carried on by transients, but agreement was entered into between the depart ment and the road management that hereafter natives would be given preference.
