ShamrOcks Begin " Spring Turnout
 For SOftball

Just five Shamrocks answered the first call for softball prac- tice last Sunday evening, mana ger Art Stacey said today. How ever the group is continuing to meet nightly at 6 o'clock on the diamond near the fairgrounds, and all positions still are open.
 The five who reported for duty Sunday evening were Don DeLand, Bob Johns, Walt Ste vens. Ted DeLand and manager Art Stacey.
 MT. Stacey urges everyone in- terested in playing this year to turn out for practice at once. The Shamrocks have only two weeks in which to prepare for a doubleheader season opener on Colony Day. Plans for that event are still indefinite, but it ap- pears likely that teams froh1 Jonesville and Anchorage will be invited to participate in a double bill of weekend softball.
 Once the season officially opens, the local squad expects to schedule weekly games. Com petition will be drawn from Jonesville, Anchorage and Fort Richardson.
 It is possible that the Sham. rocks will organize a regular baseball nine, in addition to the softball group, MT. Stacey said. That will depend upon whether interest is high enough to war rant the purchase of the extra equipment needed for baseball.
 By vote of the Shamrock bas- ketball squad, which met last Friday evening, the softball or ganization will use that name also. However separate book keeping accounts will be set up for the two groups
 At Fridays meeting plans and preparations for next years bas- ketball season already were un- der discussion, according to MT. Stacey.

P Towns Are Worth $9O,OOO.OOO

Reports from p of Alaska's incorporated towns show that property within those towns is currently assessed at almost $9O,- 100000 the Alaska Development }oard reported last week.
 From figures revealed by this eport, it is learned that Ketchi-
 an is Alaska's second city, from
 le standpoint of total assessed aluation. It tops both Fairbanks nd Juneau. Anchorage is first, Fairbanks is third and Juneau is ourth.
 A study of the report further iscloses that most, but not all f the major communities of Alaska, are taxing at the full 2O- ill maximum rate permitted Under the Organic Act. Excep- ions are Wrangell with 17-mill ate, Seldovia with 13 mills, Nome with 1212 mills and Sew lrd with 12 mills.
 Many of the smaller communi- .ies report much lower rates. Ioonah taxes at 10 mills, levy ing on improvements only. Kla- Hock real property owners pay 1t the rate of 5 mills, the city's only tax levy. Metlakatla as- ,esses no taxes, but supports he town on proceeds from the community-owned cannery, for .he most part.
