BREAK-THROUGH
 AT EKLUTNA TUNNEL CREATES WATERFALL

Travellers on the highway be- tween Palmer and Anchorage look with amazement at a beau tiful, cascading waterfall located at the Eklutna hydroelectric pro- ject. The waterfall was not in- tentional and may not last very long. Workers at the project struck a water pocket on the seventh of November but the flow was not severe enough to stop work, according to Charles Inman, acting engineer of the Bureau of Reclamation. By No vember 10 the flow had increased to the extent that workers were forced to leave their flooded work area. Drains, located in the mountain, were not adequate to accommodate the heavy overflow and the water cascaded down the mountain side.
 Palmer Constructors have talk en their crew off this section of the tunnel and have started work at the south heading near the lake. Dredging operations will continue from there for the time being, according to Inmann.
 About two feet of water is running through the tunnel now, Inman said, and in places mud and silt are piled three feet deep. Engineers have not ventured any guesses as to when the flow of water will cease, although it has shown evidence of dropping.
 None of the tunnel supports damaged. A small amount of equipment being used in the tun- nel at the time of the break through was covered by water but it is believed that it will suf- fer very little damage.
 To prevent the 700 foot water fall from undermining or wash ing out the highway enroute to the Knik River, the contractor cut an opening through the road and laid a 36 inch culvert to handle the runoff. A wooden trestle was thrown across the opening as a temporary measure. Alaska Road Commission crews have been working this week to establish two way traffic through the area.
 Tt is the prettiest waterfall be- tween here and Valdez" Inman admitted and added that the break is definitely not connected with the lake as many persons 1 seem to think. It is located ap- ! proximately four miles from the lake and may be just a pocket ot water, he said. A break of this , type is not unusual, he added There have been other break. throughs during present digging operations, but in smaller size.
 Filings in the bulkheaded pi' used for access to the penstocl
 gave way and will have to be repaired, Inman said.

Valley Sportsmen, Merchants Backing '' Fish Unlimited"

Many local persons are partici- pating in the Fish Unlimited" program being sponsored by the Anchorage Sportsmen Association by selling tickets for the Sports mems Show to be held November A in Elks Hall in the city.
 A 1852 Cadillac four-door sedan will be awarded at the show. Record trophies. sports equip ment, continuous movies and lots of fun have been promised to those attending by the sponsors. Admission tickets are S1.00
 Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward Fish Unlimited" who plan to build a fish hatchery in the Palmer-Anchorage area. To obtain the necessary funds for the hatchery and equipment, the An chorage Sportsmen have enlisted the cooperation of several organ izations, including the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen's Club.
 Plans of Fish Unlimited" were outlined to the Palmer Kiwanis Club at recent meeting and re- ceived their vote of support. On November 5 Paul Kerker, IT,, chairman of the game fish com mittee of the Anchorage Sports mems Assn. presented the inten- tions of Fish Unlimited" to mem- bers of the Valley Sportsmen club at their regular meeting. Kerker pointed out that whether per son is fisherman or not, the depletion of local waters is well known and these efforts to do something about the matter is appreciated and endorsed. He said he had had persons endorse the campaign and purchase a single ticket, only to buy additional ones when they learned the money received was going into the Fish Unlimited" account.
 Also present at the meeting was 1 Alex McRae, senior biologist and Ed Marvidge both from the Alas ka Department of Fisheries.
 | McRae, who will be in charge of the hatchery when completed spoke to the group about restock' ing and planting work that wa: started in this area during the past season. Fish fry for plant ing in selected waters were pro duced in a hatchery in the Fair banks area and brought here fol replanting, he said. To enable tht department to do an efficient jot to the many suitable waters il this area, local hatchery is more than desireable, he stated.

Anchorage Mayor and City Clerk Guests al
 Informal Council Meet

Guests at an informal city council meeting held November 6 were Mayor Maynard Taylor and City Clerk Ben Boelke, both of Anchorage.
 Mayor Taylor, who was recent 1y elected president of the Lea gue of Alaskan Cities spoke on the highlights of the convention; the past accomplishments of the league and their future plans for expansion.
 Pointing to advantages gained through league efforts this past year, Taylor told that the league had prepared Is bills they wish ed to see passed by the Territori- al legislature. Of these, 12 were drafted and presented to legisla- ture excessive bonding formerly required of city clerks.
 Inquiries from the Palmer Council as to the expense of join ing the League of Alaskan Cities placed the cost on a population basis. With the new budget not yet completed, Taylor explained, exact costs could not be given but he estimated between ten and fifteen cents per capita. Present population of Palmer is 827.
 Lee Bettinger mayor of Kodiak has been hired by the league, Taylor announced, to act as lob byist when legislature convenes. He has been granted full author ity, even on matters not pervious- 1y discussed, providing he can not contact members of the league for discussion
 Each member municipality has a member on the league board, Taylor explained. One or more representatives may be sent to the annual convention, with each city carrying one vote.
 We have been faced with the same organizational problems in Anchorage as you are experlenc- ing here in Palmer" City Clerk Boelke told the group. Our city is not new but we grew so fast that our problems overlook every one" Only recently, he added, Anchorage had a $30,000 book keeping system set up. Comptrol- lers and other business machines now cut to four or five hours, work that previously took several girls many days to complete.
 Other subjects brought up for discussion included mutual mu- nicipal problems including util- ities, health districts, bonding and police methods.
 Further assistance to the city of Palmer was offered by both visitors. we will be happy to help the people of Palmer in any way we can," Mayor Taylor told the group.
 Accompanying the Anchorage city officials were Mrs. Boelke and Palmer City Attorney and Mrs. Harold Butcher, all of whom were dinner guests of Mayor Hagen, previous to the meeting.

GRAVELING STARTS ON VALLEY STREET FOLLOWING APPEALS

Because November II was a legal holiday, no legal business could be transacted at the regular city council meeting held that night. .a
 However, in view of the fact many Valley Street residents were present to voice objections to the condition of that street, Mayor Al Hagen suggested an informal meeting to be held for discussions.
 Tn a brief resume Hagen re- ported reasons for the condition of Valley Street: The contractor (Arctic Plumbing and Heating) agreed to pay for one days work on repairing the street, he said. The city, in cooperation, hauled gravel and the street was packed at the expense of the contractor. This is as far as the city has gone, Hagen explained. We hop ed it would freeze" he added. Tt hasn't and is quite a problem and will be bigger one in the spring." he concluded.
 Jan Koslosky of Koslosky's De- partment store, was the first of the visitors to approach the coun- cil. He said he felt if the city ex- poets him to act in the capacity of tax payer and collector (sales tax) he felt the city should repair the street now, not next year. People just won't stop when they see the condition of the street" he said. It is important to city businesses the street be made paSsable now, he added. We just can't wait for a freeze-we've fooled around like this for 60 days and gained nothing.
 John L. Sullivan, manager of the Matanuska Hotel agreed with Koslosky and told the council the hotel business had fallen off 40 percent because of the condition of Valley Street.
 City Engineer Richard Dem ming reported a few days pre- vious to the meeting APW In- spector Tweet announced the 10 inch water line on Valley street was complete, was tested and passed all inspection. Two DOT tions of the IA inch line on In- dependence Avenue were found to have leaks and will have to be dug up in the Spring. Valley Street will not be dug up again, he reported, except for three lat eral lines running to fire hydrants and one section of the street where an outcrop of rock pre- vented completion this fall.
 In answer to a question of Councilman Kincaid's, Mayor Hagen said dirt was picked up from the ditches along Valley Street to help build up the road crown before graveling. Mild weather and rain have combined III turning the dirt into mud.
 Larry Bixby, owner of the Val ley Grocery suggested as long as it had been made clear that the street would not be re-dug in the spring that it be put in prop CT condition immediately.
 Following Engineer Demming's suggestions as to how the street could be repaired, the council agreed to follow a decision made at a previous council meeting and put Valley Street in usuable con- dition.
 Early Wednesday morning Jack ZemoWski moved his shovel to |. the gravel bar in the Matanuska River and trucks started hauling ! gravel to Valley Street.
