School Budget For Next Year Hits $94,255

One council member whistled when he saw the 1949-195O school budget for $94,255, of which the city's share is to be $26,559. The other $67,696 is provided by the Territory.
 The fact was brought out that it costs more to keep the Seward Public Schools in operation than it does to pay all the city's annual bills. Unusual Outlay
 Superintendent of Schools, Carl R. Carlson, who appeared in person to explain certain items in the bud get, said that the city was stuck with the purchase of equipment for the new addition, which is not an annual outlay.
 Two teachers are scheduled for the First Grade, with an expected enrolment of 45 to 50, and one additional teacher has been re- quested for the high school Added Heating Costs
 There will also be an additional expense in the heating and main tenance of the new addition. Total salaries for the teaching staff is S67,760, and the city will have to pay 1904 of that amount.
 Other than the teaching staff, the only salary is S4,200 for the janitor.
 Equipment and supplies for the laboratory will be needed, Super intendent Carlson said so that the local school can give good training in physics, chemistry and biology. Microscopes, especially, are needed now, and large amount of glass ware.

Bond Issue Would Solve City's Power Problems

The question of expanding the power facilities of the Seward Elec- tric System will be decided by the voters June 16 at bond election.
 Specifically, the question will be decision on the issuance of gen eral revenue bonds in the amount of $l04,0 ,00O. It is more than likely, however, that only $5O,OOO will be necessary.
 This $5O,O00 would be used to purchase a new diesel generator and purchase other new equipment for the plant.
 The additional S54,OOO is asked for the purpose of retiring revenue Finance Corporation, and bring all bonds held by the Reconstruction indebtedness for the electric sys- tenn into one account.
 Payments Up to Date
 Since the utility board was. put in charge three years ago, the in- debtedness on the plant has been reduced from S91 ,000 to $66OOO, and the city can see an additional Sl2,- 900 income before October which could be used to bring the pay ments up to date.
 Next Payment 1850
 The next payment due the REC would be for $6,0OO in April 1850. Thus, the present payments would be cut in half and the electric sys- tenn could float the additional bond issue of S50,000 without having to take more out of its revenue than it is now paying.

Answers To
 FILA Questions

FILA insured loans can be ob- tained for building either one or two-unit houses or for the con- struction of multiple-unit housing of three or more units.
 This series will deal only with the building of one or two-unit family dwellings.
 The process of obtaining an FILA insured loan divides roughly into three sections: CD The qualifica- tiOnS necessary to obtain a loan; (2) The preparation of plans and the application to the Alaska Re- gional FILA office, in Juneau, and (3 Actual construction and com pletion of the building when ap- proVal has been received.
 These questions and answers will deal with the matter in that order Q. How does one qualify for an FILA insured loan?
 A. Any loan, regardless of where obtained or for what purpose is predicated upon repayment. The same general qualifications (such as resources, dependable source of income etc.) apply in this case as in any other.
 Q. Where could application forms be obtained?
 A. In Seward, at the Bank of Sew ard or your contractor. (Note: The necessary Forms are being sent to Seward from Juneau and should be available within the coming week)
 Q. Can application for an FILA in- sured loan for building in Seward be made any other place? A. Yes. Application can be made to any lending institution or bank which has been approved for such loans by FILA. Q. For what specific purposes can FILA insured loans be had? A. Provided that the necessary minimum requirements for con- struction can be compiled with loans can be obtained for the following purposes:
 CD New construction-this is,
 building a house either for
 the owners occupancy or as
 income property.
 CD For alteration, improvement
 or expansion of existing
 buildings.

Graduated Monthly Salary

Graduated Monthly Salary
"We hire one married man the
year around and two to three single
men from late March through har-
vest. I prefer to agree on a monthly
salary rather than a daily wage, and
during harvest 1 boost the monthly
salary to compare with the daily
wages being paid in the neighbor-
hood.
tThe man I have has been with
me four years. Each year / have
given him a raise in wages because
] felt he knew the place better, also
my machinery was worth more to
me than a new man. This year I gave
him so acres of land which was
planted to % acres of sugar beets,
Is of oats, A of flax, l of potatoes
and the balance in alfalfa. He re-
ceived a percentage of the crop on
this besides a monthly wage. AS a
result l have noticed a much greater
interest, a willingness to put in extra
time, even irrigating nights when
necessary. In fact, I'm well satisfied
and plan to continue the method.
And SO the statements ran. With
out exception something o than
straight pay was given for year
around, permanent men. Straight
pay was usual for seasonal en-
ployes.
Married VS.. Single Men
Almost all those questioned re-
ported they preferred married men
for their permanent Employees,
though some said they had no pref
erence in the matter and one de-
clared he would rather have a sim
gle man with his own car. Another
declared it only leads to trouble to
have another family on the place.
That the principles and methods
these operators use and advocate are
successful is indicated by the fact
that several had kept their men at
least two years, some as long as four
or five years and one had had one
man come back each season for 35
years.
Still Have Troubles
Not that all their labor troubles
are over. To the question: "What
are still your chief difficulties?"
most answered, Getting competent
men," But they said the situation
was improving. Some said it was
still hard to get extra seasonal help
and what was available was shift
less and indispensable.
One operator summed UP the sit
uation and the solution this way,
ga lot of us farmers have taken q
lot the past four years and said little
but I for one feel I have gained 9
lot and been drawn closer to my
men and their problems. When one
really understands the laborer'.
problems, he is more considerate anc
tolerant"
