New Fairbanks School
Already Outgrown Before
It Is Occupied
JUNEAU — The Fairbanks In
dependent School District last
week became legal owner of the
new 15-classroom Denali Grade
School when Alfred A. Clough,
construction engineer for the Al
aska district branch of the Pubilc
Works Division, Office of Terri
tories', presented a deed for the
property to the Fairbanks school
board at its regular meeting. Mr.
Clough acted for Secretary of the
Interior McKay.
The modern, fireproof school,
erected on the site of the former
Weeks Field Airpoi^; and in a
new housing area, cost $470,872,
according to the final cost report
prepared by the public works en
gineers in Juneau. The school
district is obligated to pay 50 per
cent of the cost, with an initial
payment of $52,436, and the re
mainder in 20 years.
Although the original design
provided for eight classrooms,
with lunchroom and play space in
the basement, school officials
found it necessary before comple
tion of construction to convert the
basement into seven additional
classrooms, because of the in
creasing, number of school chil
dren enrolling in the district on
account of the rapid growth of
Fairbanks residential areas, which
house many workers from Ladd
Field air base, near Fairbanks.

ON TRIP TO PT. BARROW
ANCHORAGE, UPI—Jesse Stubbs
and Quocco his dog companion on
a planned trip to Point Barrow
encountered bad luck this week
but the 72-year-old man still ex

Fairbanks by Sunday.
A letter reached here from
Stubbs said fire starting from an
over-turned candle burned his
tent and ;ome of his clothing. He
also reported Quocco was attacked
by wolves and bitten slightly.
Vampires were formerly be
lieved to be ghosts who left dead
bodies at night to suck the blood
of living persons and it was be^
lieved such activity could be con
trolled by driving a stake through
the dead body.

Senate Tables Increase
To Cities From Business
License Taxes Collected
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, UP)—The Senate Wed
nesday passed the Agriculture
Loan Act and tabled the House
bill for increasing to 85 per cent
the refunds to cities and school
districts of the business license
taxes collected within their lim
its. The present law sets the re
funds at 60 per cent.
Tabling came after Senator
Butrovich estimated the change
would divert a half a million dol
lars from the territorial general
fund to cities and districts at a
time when the appropriations
bills are running beyond the terri
tory’s expected revenues.
The Agriculture Loan Act,
fathered by Rep. M. D. Snodgrass
veteran agriculture leader and
Matanuska farmer, would allow
individual farm development
loans up to $15,000.
The Senate indicated intention
of including $200,000 in the ap
propriations bill for starting a
revolving loan fund. The bill it
self calls for an appropriation not
over a million dollars.
The Senate asked the House to
recede from an amendment rais
ing the teachers’ salary increase
to $800 yearly from the Senate’s
$600. The House refused and con
ference committees were named 1
to reach a settlement.
The Senate also passed unani
mously the House memorial ask
ing Congress to support legislation
to prevent tieups of Alaska ship
ping.
