Treasurer Patton is still in charge 'of $103,679.52 which has been paid into the county treas ury through the blanket tax in payments made prior to the "unconstitutional" ruling laid down bv the State Supreme Court on June 6. The Supreme Court held tnat the Blanket Tax. passed bv j the 1949 legislature which penalized taxpayers m a school district with under five enrollment is unconstitutional. The Legisla- ture will have to decide how monies already in the Treasur er's office from Blanket Tax collections will be dispersed. Meanwhile the more than 100 thousand dollars is being held in Cass county pending the action of the legislature. Miss Patton. who pointed out that she had no idea what the legislature might do in the way of dispersing blanket tax funds, said it has been a terrific job to process all of the blanket tax monies.

Suggestions Of Change Will Affect Schools A proposal to abolish con tracting by school districts would have its effect on Cass county schools. State Senator Glenn Cramer, chairman of a special Legislative Education Committee declared last week that contracting districts should be forced out of business. The ruling, if put into effect, would pertain to 16 Cass county schools, which have already contracted for the coming school year. That's one more than a year ago. Generally schools withtoo few pupils to operate a school economically contract with nearby schools. Records show that contracting in Cass county has been growing in recent years. Another indirect blow at Cass county schools comes from Sup erintendent Freeman Decker, who has suggested that high schools with 25 or fewer pupils be eliminated. His suggestion would affect Greenwood, where 21 pupils were enrolled last year. But according to Superinten dent L. A. Behrends of Cass county, both problems may take care of themselves in normal channels. Behrends said Sat urday that Greenwood and sev eral other schools in the county are seeking to consolidate. The county already has four consol idated high schools. They are Nehawka, Eagle, Murdock and Alvo. Louisville and Nehawka along with Greenwood have started plans for consolidating with other districts, according to Behrends.

Corn assessments dropped from S1.754.C70 in 1951 to only $750, fl5 in 1952. County Assessor McShane readily points out that unusual weather a year ago and high moisture content of corn last year accounts for the drop. It also accounts for a $200,000 decrease in hog valuations. Hog valuations dropped from $463, 710 to $262,455. Other decreases noted in the tabulations were wheat from $61,705 to $10,480, class A in tangibles, including postal sav ings and checking accounts, $3, 643,998 to $3,561,241. Bulk of the decline was pick ed up in assessments upon land and improvements where it climbed from $22,957,490 in 1951 to $23,561,030 this year. Total business assessments were up from il.747.150 to $1,928,830 and household equipment went up from $797,250 to $906,030. Cattle assessments also climbed con siderably from $2,906,380 to $3, 141,575. New construction ac counts for the increase in lands and improvements, i Another $500,000 was picked ! up in motor vehicle assessments. ; In 1951 assessments on 6.265 j vehicles was $2,746,515. while ! this year 6,469 . assessments are j valued at $3,176,276. Individual schedules at the time McShane's totals were computed were below a year ago. Assessments on individual assessments dropped from $3. 528.385 a year ago to $7,750,845 in 1952. McShane explains the decline in the number of assess- i ments shown on his completed schedule. Only 5.805 schedules j are included in the 1952 tabu ! lation while the 1951 included 6,229. Additional schedule fil i ings since the tabulation was 1 computed would probably make I the two about equal, according ! to McShane. He points out too, I that many 1951 schedules which ' listed only corn, were not filed this year since the amount of ! corn is far below last year. His tabulations show that the ; number of television sets in the ; county climbed rapidly during the 12 month period. Listings in 1951 were 798 while this year the number of sets listed is 1,633. i Other increases were noted in ' home freezers, 612 to 740; dish washers. 22 to 29. Decreases in the number of certain articles was also shown. ; Musical instruments dropped from 1132 to 1081; there are 50 less fur coats in the county than a year ago: and jewelry and diamonds dropped from 856 to 818. The decreases may be part ly explained in the fewer sched ules computed in the abstract tabulations. McShane said. Other interesting notes taken from the assessor's tabulation;, show that there are only seven apartment houses, while real "estate and insurance officas dropped from 4 to 2. Pool hall and taverns dropped from 23 to 20 as 460 business schedules were filed.
