 Concerning real estate and per sonal property taxes, the 1nde- pendent School District here functions under the school board with members of the board elect ed to the board. Under incorpor- ation the school district would be divided into two districts for tax purposes so those living in town would pay real estate taxes and personal property taxes (clty taxes) and the school taxes.

The seamen reported that the
SovietS have built two new rocket
bases on Peenmuende, one facing
east and one facing west. Using
the German plans for transoceanic
rockets. they have proceeded to
build the worlds most powerful
rocket-dri missiles, the sea-
men stated. The German plans
called for rocket which would
travel 1000 miles in As minutes.
The island of Usedom, off the
Baltic Coast, has been cleared OF
all civilian population. Only Rus
slams, workmen, and their captive
German scientists are permitted
there. A minef1eld actually exists
between Peenemuende, which is
located on the northwest tip OF
Usedom Island. and the small
island out in the sea called Griefs-
walder Ole. On this island and
on the island of Poel, near the
harbor city of Wismar, the Rus
slams have installed a vast amount
of equipment. This area is used
as a measuring strip for the Rus
sian rockets.
Radio, radar and specific Ger
man instruments, such as the
Wuerzburg -Risese apparatus and
the Freya-Elevator, have been
built to measure the flight of the
rockets from Leningrad to the
grounds around Peenemuende.
Ships are used to retrieve the
rockets from the sea. The mis-
siles are sent to Leningrad for
study.
