Friends Pay Final Tribute To Win. M. Carson The many friends of Matt Carson Car-son joined with family members Saturday, February 14, in impressive im-pressive funeral services held at the First ward chapel, Francis Grant of the Bishopric conducting. conduct-ing. Valentine's Day seemed a fitting date to eulogize this quiet man whose life was one long series of kindly deeds and un selfish action. The oreran Drelude and postlude were played by Mrs. Alonzo Mad- sen, ward organist. Prayer was offered by Lester M. Peterson. The first speaker, Ralph L. Du-hnise. Du-hnise. Fairfield, likened the Car son home to the "house by the side of the road". He told of times, some thirty years ago, when fine, road to Fairfield was just a trail. People from there often stopped at the uarson nome for convalescence, following hospital hos-pital treatment. He quoted Longfellow's Long-fellow's poem, "The Arrow and the Song," explaining that the children of the family would often of-ten find arrows marking the paths of his good deeds.

(Consult (Con-sult your tax notice in order to find out what your assessed valuation is for 1947). With this additional levy the Alpine School District will still be below the average of all districts in the State of Utah on their total levy. This entire Bond issue can be re paid iu twelve years by increasing the school levy 4 mills. The added cost to you as a taxpayer can be determined from the following table. Example: If the assessed valuation valuat-ion of your property is: Assssed Additional Valuation Cost Per Year $500.00 $2.00 $600.00 $2.40 $700.00 $2.80 $1,000.00 : $4.00 $1,500.00 : $6.00 $2,000.00 $8.00 The other question that might be asked is "Where will these buildings build-ings be built?" I quote the policy that has been established by the Board of Education Ed-ucation of the Alpine School District. Dist-rict. "The immediate policy of the Board of Education, in carrying out the building program, will be to place the buildings where most needed, in terms of overcrowding and also in terms of the age and physical condition of buildings. The facilities available in the present buildings will also be a determining factor. The long range program contemplates new buildings in all of the more populous centers, and improvement and modernization in Alpine and Cedar Valley." The third question is "Can we get along without these buildings ? Permit me to repeat again that our buildings are already over crowded; that practically every building has fire hazards which is impossible to eliminate; that Geneva Gen-eva is planning on an additional expenditure ex-penditure of $17,000,000 which will mean additional employment. Additional Ad-ditional employment only means additional people with additional children. It would seem that the Alpine School District has no other choice than to build. Surely, this area cannot afford to have school children on the streets because of lack of school facilities. The Board of Education of the. Alpine School District has been studying this problem for over 2 years. I can assure you that they are going to get the most for their money and that the expenditure of every dollar will be carefully scrutinized. These bonds will bear an interest rate of a little less than 2V2 per cent. I doubt that a better rate can be secured in this time by any district in the State of Utah. This is largely because of the present pres-ent financial condition of this District Dist-rict and because bond buyers have faith in the future growth of this area.
