PROPERTY
VALUES UP
SAYS REPORT
According to a recent report
of the Equalization Board on tax-'
able property for 1945, both real
and personal, the city clerk’s
records show real property val
ued at $714,145.00, and personal
property at $867,597.91.
The total amount of the tax
able property is therefore $1,
581,742.01, taxed at a rate of two
per cent. This means that tax
payers of Nome will pay pay in
taxes to the cit a total $31,634.86
during this tax ear.
As in the past, the custom of
basing the collectible tax on 60
per cent of the market value of
property in Nome, gives us a to
tal value of approximately $2,
200,000.00, aside from city, Ter
ritory, Federal and military
owned property within the city
limits.

REPLACE JONES
AS SECRETARY
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—(AP)
—Jesse ones today disclosed that
he has resigned as secretary of
Commerce and that President
Roosevelt intends to give the job
to Henry Wallace, over the sec

make way for the President’s
nomination of the former vice
president, who in terms of Jesse
Jones, is ‘‘inexperienced in busi
ness finance”.
At the same time Secretary
Jones brushed aside the presi
dential suggestion that he consid
er taking an ambassadorship.
The President, when address
ing the man he had, named in his
cabinet four years ago as “Dear
Jesse”, wrote, ‘‘Wallace is fully
suited for the post.”
The Iowans vigorous campaign
ing during 1944 election, the
Cheif Executive declared, de
serves almost any service which
he believes he can satisfactorily
perform!
This correspondence was made
public by Jesse Jones yesterday
