fair valuation on property. Some of them are: location of the prop erty, access to roads, view, type of material. adjacent to sewer and water. closenesS to transportation, etc.
 An increase in the assessed val uation does not necessarily meap you will pay more taxes. The city operates on a budget. It takes just so much money to operate the City for one year, namely, fire protection, police protection, maintenance of streets and utili- ties, clerical help, etc.
 Each year budget is made up anticipating the amount U. money needed for each depart meHt. The budget is carefully checked and rechecked to insure the utmost for each dollar that is spent.
 In the past, property values have been assessed at twenty mills, (Legal limit is thirty mills). If the assessed valuation shows an increase, the millage assessed can be decreased and still supply enough funds to operate the city efficiently. It should be noted that major portion of our city taxes go to the support of our schools; in 1859 of the 20 mill levy, 9.1 mills, or almost half was paid, to the Kodiak Independent School District.
 Rich man, poor man, began we will all be taxed on an equitable basis, paying our just taxes, no man, thief, it makes no difference, more, no less. This, I believe is the fair and equitable way of tax ation in Q democra y such as ours.
 Sincerely,
 BILL WORTH

It Is becoming more evident in recent months that the rat popu- lation of Kodiak and It's envArOns s on the increase, Some of this no doubt, is due to the cold wea- ther and snow which force the TO- dents to seek warm sha6ser and food and thus become more evi- dent. However, the fact remains bhat in spite of the efforts of City Officials the rat population is on bhe increase.
 How can we, the plTbiic. help elim- mate this problem? It IS a proven biological fact that in spite of poisoning and trapping. rats will continue to multiply. The only affective means of eliminating the pest is to destroy its home and take away it's food supply. Only after we have accomplished this can we hope to achieve lasting control of Hlis obnoxious nuisance.
 Rats in populated areas depend entirely on mankind for existence. They hive in old lumber piles, re- fuse and stacks of debris which are allowed to accumulate, and in snort, in any place where material is available for cover and nesting. They depend on mans diScards

Letter to tl1e Editor
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 There seems to be some conftis- sen in the minds of a few taxpay- e1s as to the chy's new tax struc- ssire. I will try, in my humble way, to explain what has gone oa and why.
 First, it must be remembered ksrat your colncilmen, property owners and taxpayers all, are as much concerned about taxation as anyone else. Fair and equitable taxation concerns us all.
 For twenty years now, O since the city was incorporated .,i l340. many individuals have been hired as tax assessors, not always lor eiseir ability, but as someone to do the job. Many of these asses Sors had little or no knowledge of property values and therefore the value of the property was often guess work and not just Some taxnayerS were paying more taxes 1iaan they should have, others not paying their share but deriving the same benefits as those who did.
 This method of taxation waS entirely wrong. Tine council de sided to do something about it so hired professional assessor from Anchorage to evaluate the various properties in Kodiak on a profess ioaal and honest basis. This man is of the highest integrity, having done similar work in Anchorage, Seward, and numerous other cities, earning himself a reputation as a tair anG just appraiser.
 Many things, not immediately apparent to some, must be saken inae consideration in placing a

History OF Valiant Reveals New
Compact Car Is Big Hit With Public

designed to Systematically de-
stroy the car with usage much
rougher than the normal car
would get in a lifetime. In ad-
dition to the 80 test cars, 81
more experimental versions
of Valiant engines were built
and tested.
But even before the new
car was brought to a stage of
development where testing
was possible, more than one
million man hours of engin-
eering work had gone into
the project. And before that,
there was painstaking studies
of the potential future market,
comprehensive surveys to de-
termine a proper name for a
new car, and detailed COM
parsons of various designs
and specifications.
In the spring of 1857, Chry-
sler Corporation established a
special car committee headed
by Harry E. Chesebrough,
Chrysler vice-president and
general manager of the Ply
mouth-De Soto-Valiant divi-
sion, who was then director

introduced during the year.
Valiant was first revealed
as the "Secret of Midland Ave-
nue. in a special news con-
ference on August 10, 1859.
For IS months, a task force
of some 200 engineers had
been working in secrecy at
4O3 Midland Avenue, Detroit,
to create Americas newest
compact car. They had Gre
ated a car which was COM
pletely new in concept, and
which had completely differ
ent automotive appearance.
For a brand new car in its
first year, Valiant was amaz-
ingly trouble free, Service de-
partment officials of the Ply
mouth-De Soto-Valiant divi-
sion reported.
Behind this success was a
rigorous testing program to
assume that Valiant was at
the highest peak of perfection
and efficiency before it was
placed on sale. A total of 80
h%and-built prototype cars un-
derwent every conceivable
driving test, some of them

1t required but one year for
Valiant, 1.-THE Secret of Mid

pride Of Main Street. The new
low price compact, in its first
year on the market, met all
the detectives its designers
had set for it.
First, Valiant won a ma
tional award for outstanding
automobile styling" Then, in
a race of compact cars at
Dayton Beach, it won the
first seven places. Finally,
proving economical operation
to go with its style and per-
Torrance, it beat both of the
other new economy cars in
the Mobilgas Economy Run,
averaging 27.29 miles per gal
Ion.
In the market place, Valiant
was an immediate success. A
toal of $50, 189 cars were pro-
duced during the first model
year, and as sales kept pace
Valiant became the second
most popular among the four
