SCHOOL BILL
ns passed or
i
i rhe
j for the incorporation of incoi porateil
, school <listricts, outside of incorp-1
crated towns in Alaska, as pas-.e l bv
the Alaska legislative assembly. As
Anchorage comes within the purview
of this measure, the contents will be
I interesting to residents:
A BILL
For :.n act entitled “An act f pro ■
| vide for the organization of incoi por j
I atcd school districts outside of incorp i
j orated towns, for the election of a I
I board of directors in such districts
land granting such board the power of,
j lavying and collecting taxes for the
establishment and maintenance of
schools, defining the power and duties I
j of such board and declaring an emer
i gency.”
He it enacted by the legislature of
the territory of Alaska:
| Section 1. That any town, village
I or settlement in the territory of Alas
ka outside the limits of any incorpor
ated town, having a population of J |
three hundred or more and thirty chil- |
dren between the ages of (i and 20
years, may incorporate as a school
district in the manner hereinafter
provided, but such school district j,
shall not embrace more than forty (
| (40) square miles of territory.
! Section 2. Each school district or- .
i ganized under the provisions of this j j
(chapter shall have a board of direct- ,
ors of five members to be elected as j
hereinafter provided, who shall have
the exclusive management and control |
( of all school matters in the school
! district subject to such general laws ,
| governing the grading and superin
I tendency of schools as may be now or
i hereafter enacted by the territorial
j legislature. Said board of directors
I shall have the power, and it shall be
: their duty to select from their num
; her a clerk, treasurer, assessor, who
1 shall also act as a tax collector, and
| two directors, all of whom shall qual
ify by taking an oath in writing to
honestly and faithfully discharge the
i duties of their offices.
Section 2. That said boards of di
| rectors shall have the power to levy
land collect taxes upon all real and
personal property within the limits of
their respective districts not exempt
! therefrom by existing law, not to ex
I ceed one per cent of the assessed
I value of such property in any one
j year and all monies collected by such
i taxation shall be expended in pay
j ment of the cost of levying and col
1 lecting such taxes; in payment of the
cost of conducting school elections;
and for the construction and main
tenance of schools only. All taxes
levied and assessed shall be in con
formity to a resolution adopted by a
majority of the whole board of di
rectors and entered on the minutes -
of the board at a meeting of the board
called for that purpose, of which
; meting at least ten days’ notice shall
| be given by posting notice of such
j meeting in at least three public pla
j ces in the district. Said boards are
hereby empowered to prescribe rules
for the annual assessment and levy of
such taxes and by such rules to fix
the dates when such assessment shall j
be annually made; the mode and man- j
ner of assessment; when the taxes
may become due; to require the list
ing of property subject to taxation
by the owner or agent thereof; to im
pose, fix and provide for collection
of penalties for non-payment of taxes
when due, not to exceed 15 per cent
of such taxes and to fix the rate of
interest on delinquent taxes not to
exceed 12 per cent per annum, and to
provide for the collection of such in
terest, and to provide generally such
other matters and things relative to
the assessment and nevy of such tax
es as may be proper.
Provided however, all assessments
shall be equal and uniform and based
upon the actual cash value of the
property assessed, and prior to fixing
the rates of levy, said board shall sit
ar.d publicly equalize the valuation of
the property assessed.
Section 4. All taxes levied and as
1 sessed by the board of school direct
i era under this act shall be a lien up
on the property assessed and such
lien shall be prior and paramount to
I all other lien and encumbrances, and
may be foreclosed by any appropriate
action in any court of competent jur
I i.-diction.
The owner of property assessed
shall be personally liable for the
amount of taxes assessed against
such property and such taxes, togeth
er with penalties and interest, may
bp collected after the same become
due, in personal action brought in the
name of the school district against
such owner in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
Section 5. That in addition to the
remedies given by the last section,
the school board shall have the sani"
power to levy and collect taxes and
to enforce the lien against personal
or real property as is now by law '
granted or may hereafter be granted
to the common council of municipal
corporations and in such proceedings
the board of directors shall have the
same power as a common council of
a municipal corporation, and the clerk
of the school board shall have the;
same power and duties as the clerk j
of an incorporated town.
Section (i. The treasurer and as
sessor of the school board shall give |
such bond with such sureties as the •
board of directors may require. Said j j
bonds to be conditioned for the hon-1
est and faithful disbursing and ac
counting of all monies that may come
into the hands of such officers by vir- j
tue of their offices. The treasurer j
of the board shall be the custodian of '
all funds belonging to the school dis- j
trict. The board of directors shall i i
have the power to fix the compensa-j
tion of the treasurer and assessor, ] 1
which shall be paid from the funds be
longing to the school district. ! i
ALASKA STEAMERS
DISCONNECT THEIR
WIRELESS PLANTS
(Juneau Empire.)
All ships operating on the Pacific
coast flying the American flag are now
disconnecting their wireless while
within the three-mile limit, or in other
words when within three miles of
land. The Alaska was the first ship
to reach Juneau with wireless down,
but all boats arriving since that time
have either had their aerials down or
the machinery disconnecter).
The order was sent out by the com
mander of the 12th naval district re
cently. The Alaska commander ord
ered her aerials taken down entirely.
The Admiral I-’arragut commander
ordered his plant disconnected, while
the captain of the Northwestern lock- j
ed the wireless room on that ship and [
pocketed the key.
Yesterday Captain Jensen received l
wireless orders, while still outside the
three-mile limit, to watch out for sub- -
marines in the Pacific. The word was
sent out from San Francisco by the
commander of the 14th naval district
and was to the effect that the danger
was particularly great in the vicinity
of general warning. It was to the Cal
ifornia and Mexican coast.
NECK AND NECK RACE
BETWEEN HIGH OFFICIALS
WASHINGTON, April 17.—Secre- ;
tary of State Lansing holds the ■
world’s ambidexterity record. That is,
he claims it. But Secretary Baker
claims it, too. The evidence is here 1
submitted for public decision.
Secretary Lansing gave an exhibi
tion of handling diplomatic correspon
dence with one hand and dashing off
enticing profiles of charming Gibson
girls, with the other, smoking a pipe
the while.
Secretary Baker signed army offi
cers’ commissions with one hand, hand
ed them to a messenger with the other,
listened to his secretary read the
day’s accumulation of mail and dic
tated replies, all at the same time,
smoking a pipe the while. The race is '
neck and neck.
