Carney Tells
Why Taxes Are
On Increase

Answering the many questions
which come to his office relative
to tax rates, John J. Carney, Coun-
ty Auditor has prepared a state
ment answering the question "Why
My Taxes Are Increased" In it
are listed every taxing district
within the county.
The first half duplicate in the
county real estate tax collection
which closed February 4th, totaled
$39, ,756,439.
First and foremost Mr.. Carney
points out that the County Auditor
has no jurisdiction whatsoever
over tax rates. He reminds tax
payers that the State of Ohio
limits rates within ten mills; and
that any requirements beyond what
ten mills provide, must be voted
upon and approved by the tax
payers. This extra amount is then
levied by their own taxing authori-
ties.
Relative to the competition OF
the current re-appraisal, Mr.. Car.
ney believes it will be at least
through 1858 before it can be com
pleted. Then, before the reap
praised requirements can be put
on the tax duplicate, the new values
must be published, and taxpayers
having complaints may make them
up through the first-half collection
Immediately following the compile
ton of the revaluation.
In the year the reappraisal is
applied the Budget Commission
must reduce all voted levies pro-
portionately to the increase of that
district.

Crowded Clussrooms Worry Seward
 School Authorities

Badly crowded conditions in the Seward schools make it very urgent to obtain added space, Carl R. Carlson told the school board this week The eighth grade has increased in size from 29 at the opening of the school year in September, l951, to 40 children at the present tim.
 Instead of leaving town as in past years. Mir Carlson said. ''neW people seem to be moving into the district There will be al least four classes outside the school building at the fall term, according to the superintendent. There are now two classes held in church bascm snts. The sev- enth and eighth grades are be ing split and a third teacher added 10 the staff immediately 10 take care oI the unexpected increase this year IL was thought at first that a split session would be necessary, but by croWding the high school still further, space has been found in the building for the additional unit. The teacher will be found local ly. if possible, according to Carl son.
 The school board was in- formed Monday night that the city council is planning to fence the entire school yard, in an eff fort to protect children from danger of street traffic The fence will also inclose the tennis courts to be constructed by the Parent-Teacher Association on the northeast end of the play ground.
 If the block is fenced accord ing to school board plans it will provide a parking lot on the northwest corner, leaving space for a grass plot in front of the building, which would improve the looks of the grounds con siderably, board members state.

Need Stressed For Hospital Facilities

Panel discussions led by Dr. Francis J. Phillips, Seward San atorium, and Dr. Deisher, Sew ard General Hospital, at the meeting of the WomanS Club Thursday night brought oLt the pressing need for additional hos pital facilities in this city.
 The present building is old and may become a fire hazard, besides being inadequate in size for the needs of the immediate community and other villages on the Peninsula, Dr. Deisher stated.
 Possible plans for financing a new building were discussed. An estimate of S800,000 has ben presented to the city council for consideration, with the proposi- tiOl that the city raise %l00, GOO to be matched by the Women's Missionary Society of the Meth odist Church and the Territorial Department of Health, which would make it possible to con tinue the financing through Alaska Public Works funds.
 A one-cent increase in the mil lage rate on personal and real property taxes or a ,onc-cent in crease in the sales tax were Sug- gested as possible solutions to the problem.
 The meeting of the Woman s Club was held at the SaNato.. un, Miss Goldie Busko being program chairman for the eve ming. The club voted S5 00 to the March of Dimes, and also voted full support to any plan for the hospital fund.
 Mrs. Francis J. Phillips was chairman of the rcfreshment committee. Refreshments were scrved in the dining room at the Sanatorium.
 The treasurer reported that S73 has been collected for Care for Korea"

 Clothing
 To cover cXtrSme winter con ditions, the Following clothes are necessary, remembering { h a t loosenesS is ail-important.
 Socks. Two pairs of heavy weight socks (minimum), a third pair available. An extra dry set is important. A pair of cotton or nYlon socks n, Xt to the skin is more comfortable, and for ten der feet, desirable, to reduce the abrasive effects 1f rough wool socks.
 Inner soles. In addition 10 proper socks, two pairs of felt inner sOlcS are necessary. There should also be an sXtra pair for replacement. When two pairs are usCO, the frost accumuiateS on the outer one, leaving the in ner one dry.
 Foof-gear. Mukluks are used in cold, dry areas. They may be of fur. hide, calVas or felt. They are not warm, tn nselves, but protect the soc, and inner soles from snow, and afford protec- tion from the wind, They are porous, so that there is ventiia- tic'> nd breath ng', ptrln:t.iNg evaporation of sweat. This re ouit, Ill vt forming G.. tn~ Out- side, rather tnan the inside of the foot covering. On planned trips afoot. an extra pair should be available in case of WetnesS from excessive sweating, or breaking through water over flows.
 Shoc-pacs seem to be best for moist conditions, or wet snow and moderately cold tempera- lures, but by minus 20 degr- es, their protection becomes very doubtful They lack ventilation, so that the accumulated moisture from sweat vii, lead to frozen feet. Like all foc:gear, they should be worn loosely. They should always be available when wet conditions may b. expected,
 Underwear. Two suits of 100 per cert wool underwear of moderate weight are much bet ter than one heavy weight suit. They provide more insulating air space. Ths superiority of Q one-piece suit versus a tWo-piece suit is still matter Of furious debate among ol3-timers.
