18-Yedr-OIds Must
REGISTER for Service

Calling attention to the fact that
failure to register is a violation of
law and makes the delinquent
liable to penalty, John l.. McCor-
mick, Alaska Territorial Director OF
Selective Service, this week out
lined registration requirements I'M
der the Selective Service Act, 1913,
which he said he believed were not
thoroughly understood by all of
the general public
"The obligation to register" Mr..
Mccormick said. "is a continuing
obligation and must be fulfilled re-
CARELESS of whether men are being
indicted into the armed forces I'M
der the Selective Service Act. The
obligation to register is imposed by
the Act on every male, citizen or
resident, in the United States be-
tween the ages of 18 and 26, with
only the general exceptions of
members of the armed forces on
active duty and certain aliens"
Within Five Days of 18th Birthday
The young man who becomes 10
is required to register at local
board office within five days of
the date of his eighteenth birth
day, Mccormick explained, but if
he happens to be away from home
he need not return; he may regis
ter at the nearest local board con-
venient to him and the record will
be sent to the local board having
jurisdiction, even though it is in
another state. After he registers, it
is mandatory that registrant keep
his local board informed of any
change in his address or change in
status, the director pointed out.
This applies after he becomes &c
as well as before.

POWER COMPANY REPORTS
FINE COOPERATION

Fine, wholehearted cooperation
from the public enabled the Sew
ard Light and Power Company to
limit its power output while repairs
were being made last week, J. A.
Macdonald. receiver for the COM
pany, said Thursday.
AS most residents know, the
power plant is operated partly by
water power and partly by diesel
power. During the peak demand
period of the day, the diesel is
ordinarily needed to furnish all the
power needed. Current consumers,
however, cut down their use of
power voluntarily, Macdonald
said, while the big engine was
being repaired.

Local Property
Values Show
Huge Increase

A few assessment returns have
not been completed and some of
those now in may be scaled down
a little, but this years assessment
shows an increase in real property
value of S755, 045.50 and 1911 ,517.04
increase in personal property value
in Seward.
These figures represent an in
crease Of well over a million dol
lars over the value listed last year
and brings the total assessable
property value in Seward to the
six million mark.
Returns Slow
Taxpayers have been extremely
slow about turning in the new
individual assessment forms, but
for the most part the property
owners have assessed themselves
as high or higher than when the
work was done by the assessor
himself
The system now in effect was
devised to save the city the cost
of having the assessor call on the
individual taxpayer. The sum of
$500 was set aside for the job.
Long Hours
For that $500 Mrs. Ling has put
in 1872 hours so far and has had to
pay $3.50 out of her own pocket for
additional help. Last week She put
in total of 1l9 hours on the rec
ords.
One reason so much work has
been required is that people have
not yet become accustomed to the
idea of making their own assess
ments. Besides that the assessor
| had to Install automobiles, because
the city revok I'd the auto license
| ordinance and placed them on the
personal property list.
The council also instructed the
assessor to fill out the forms fol
people who had not done so. A
total of 100 taxpayers We're founc
who had never been assessed anc
who had not paid taxes. Some OF
these were owners of new homes
or new cars. Records also had to be
checked on 83 transfers of property
which took place during the past
year.

Inspect Highways
On Peninsula

II. H. StOddart, division engineer
for the Bureau of Public Roads, and
j D., Reher, assistant to Stoddart,
We're in Seward this week on a
routine inspection Of highways in
the Territory. On Thursday they
came by rail from Fairbanks with
Baird French to make an inspection
of the work on the Seward Anchor
age link at Mile SO.
Stoddart and Reher were to go
by train to Anchorage Thursday,
from where they will fly to Nome,
Fairbanks, and back to Anchorage
before returning to their office in
Juneau.
Work on the Seward-Anchorage
link is proceeding satisfactorily
French said. The bridge over Can
yon Creek is completed. but it is
not open to traffic yet. Work on the
other bridges is nearing compile
ton.
Bridge construction is in the
hands of municipalities, sub-con.
tractors to Lyle and Green. The
work has been difficult because
certain sections are practically in
accessible in the rugged terrain.
The Turnagain Arm bench pro.
ject is now under way, and tire.
mendous quantities of dynamite
are now being shipped in for rock
blasting. The project calls for
building new rail bed beside the
present one. which will call for
miles of rock fill. TIE new high
way will occupy the present rail
bed.

Tax Statistics Show
City Population
Now Above 5000

The number of taxpayers in Sew
ard has grown from 470 in 1947 to
1887 in l949, according to figures
released Friday morning by City
Assessor Katheryn Ling. Statistics
show Mrs. Ling revealed, that a
tax roll of 1877 persons represents
a population of not less than $500
residents.
The increase had been taking
place steadily since 1910 when the
United States census showed fl
cure of 987 residents. The rate of
increase has accelerated in the past
couple of years as shown by the
tax rolls.
From 470 taxpayers in 1947 the
list increased to 720 in 1913 and
reached the top figure of 1887 this
year. Figures also show that the
population is becoming more stable
since jobs formerly held by single
men are now held by married men
with families. Large property hold
ings have been broken up and sold
in small lots to individual owners.
