Specioal Election Called To
 Decide On Bonds

Special elections will be called by the City Council on the issues of bonding for hospital, school and paving and sidewalk inn provcmcnts. The election will possibly be held October II with the general election, but may not be ready until a later date.
 Plans ol the Hospital Board call for S750,O0O building. which, under Alaska Public Works participation would cost the city approximately S4O0,0O0. The board anticipates q contribu- ton from the Mission Board of the Methodist Church as well as from the Territorial Department of Health. which, if forthcoming would decrease the actual cost 10 the city
 The Hospital Board proposes that 50 per cent of the sales tax be used to meet the bond issue in payment of the city's share in the project. This proposition met with approval oI the City Coun- ciI and it will be presented 10 the voters.
 Sales Tax Could Be Used
 The sales tax, as passed in September, 1949, was designated for school purposes and for re tiring school indebtedness, pub lie health, the city sanitation and public welfare. Ii could, there fore, be used 10 retire indebted ness on a hospital as we'll as a school without changing the in- tent of the tax ordinance
 Ii is pointed out by members of the School Board that, to date, almost the entire amount col lected by sales tax has been used annually for maintaining the school system. The 1952-1953 school budget Stewards share) is slightly over S93,O00 Accord ing to the report given the School Board, sales tax receipts for 1951-1952 was approximately S73,0O0, which leaves a deficit to be made up from the general budget of the city.
 Million Dollar School
 Building of a high school is also planned under Alaska Pub lie Work participation plan, which calls for a million dollar building, of which Seward would be obligated for 50 per cent. This is a self-liquidating project since the Seward school system re ceives $30,000 annually from the Territorial tobacco tax. The School Board is assured that this sum will safely cover indebted ness up to SGOO,OO0. As the school population increases, and with addition of the BayVieW School to the Seward system, to- baccO tax returns to the school will increase. Tobacco tax funds cannot be used for maintenance of schools, but is earmarked for construction and repairs only. Consequently, Supt. Carl Carl son states, the money is accruIng without way to use it until con structiOn Is approved.
 Five Glasses Outside
 Tn the meantime, five classes are being housed outside the school building this year at a cost of S6000, with the predicted increase another year of eight classes outside the building and a proportionate cost for rent.
 Paving and sidewalk improve ments can be done as APW ap- proves the applications at such time as underground improve ments (Water and seWer) are completed if voters indicate their desire for such improve ments by passing the bond issue
 What is not generally under stood by many voters, is the fact that bonds need not be sold. as in the case of the water distribu- ton project, before work pro iccts are undertaken
