Protests on Valley St. Condition Spur Promise Of Immediate Action

Sympathies of everyone at the City Council meeting last night were with MT. and Mrs. Larry Bixby of the Valley Grocery Store when they protested against the condition of Valley Street.
 After having the trade to their store blocked by an open ditch for three weeks, the contractors last Friday had merely bulldozed the earth back into the ditch with out any competing. After the rain and wet snow of the week end, the road was a quagmire of of mud in which unwary motor ists weleN mired hopelessly and pedestrians sank down to their knees.
 There was no question but that something had to be done and done fast. City plans to put big load of gravel on the street this week had begged down because a shovel operator left behind by the contractors to dig gravel with the company's equipment was not certain of his authorization to pro- ceed. V R. Worstell the contrac- tors engineer in charge, had agreed informally to load the gravel on city trucks.
 It was pointed out that it would be worse than useless to put grav- el on the road in it's present con- dition. It needed lot of compact ing by ''cat." To complicate the situation, the Council was not ex- ectly certain about the contrac- tors responsibility in putting the road back into good condition at this time. The specific provisions about competing applied to the time when the job was completed. The ditch will have to be opened up again next spring to complete the job.
 The Council decided to wire the contractor today about getting the road fixed up at his expense. Failing that the road committee has authorization to proceed with the job immediately at city ex- pense.
 Gravel is now being put on several city streets by the street department.

Grand Jury Indicfs Local Man
 On Second Charge

A second indictment was re- turned against Jack Maze by the Third District grand jury last week.
 Following the first indictment for embezzlement, handed down after the first day of the current session, a second indictment was returned two days after, charging Maze with forging a $12,O00 note and signatures of two Valley men, Harold L. Thuma and James J. Hurley.
 Thuma and Hurley are still members of the Palmer Independ- ent School District Board of which Maze was president at the time of his arrest last New Years eve. Bond on the new charge was set at S2,000. Maze is already in S20,000 bond on the embezzlement charge.
 The grand jury this week clear ed another Palmer man, Herbert Speed Hoff, of charges that he had made false and fraudulent claims against the U. s. Govern ment. The charge stemmed from allegedly excessive charges Gap proximately S70 for subsistence of two prisoners confined in the federal jail at Naknak during the summer of 1851 when Hoff was U. s. Deputy Marshal there.
 Deciding that the charges were probably brought against Hoff with malicious intent, members of the grand jury voted unanimously for a mo true bill," according to the foreman reporting.
 Hoff is attached to the High way Patrol in the Palmer area.

LOCAL MAN IN
 HOSPITAL FOLLOWING ACCIDENT NEAR BUTTE

Full details are still lacking re- garding an accident that took place Tuesday evening about 5:30 pm. at the intersection of the second Butte road and the highway, just 300 yards from the Butte Roadhouse.
 Still in the hospital from in- Juries is Olaf Nelson, who drove his 1922 Ford into the side of a 1852 Cadillac when he madea left hand turn onto the highway. Dr. C. c. Bailey said today that his condition was good.
 Driving the Cadillac was Jack Carr. A passenger, William David Kellogg of Anchorage was treat ed for three broken ribs at the hospital as an outpatient.

pr. Fred Honsinger
 To Replace Graves as Veterinarian Nov.

Territorial Commissioner of Agriculture Clyde Sherman an- nounced while in the Valley last weekend that another veterinari- an has been assigned to this area on a temporary basis to replace Dr. Graves, whose resignation as of October 31 was reported last week.
 Dr. Fred Honsinger of Juneau, who was appointed as Territorial veterinarian in charge of south ast Alaska over a year ago, is expected to arrive in Palmer about November l to assume his duties here. Since the Matanuska Valley has the largest concentra- ton of dairy cattle in the Terri tory, the need of having a veter- marian on call is of paramount importance.
 Commissioner Sherman indicat- ed that Honsinger's temporary ap- pointment might be tantamount to a permanent one since diff culGy is anticipated in obtaining another qualified veterinarian to fill the position.

Sunday Snow Makes Roads Hazardous; 2 Accidents Reported

For the second Sunday in a row, all roads in the Palmer-An- chorage area were made hazard ous for drivers by wet, blinding snow storm. Although quite a large number cars were observed stranded and in ditches along Val ley roads, the Highway Patrol reported only two accidents in the Palmer area. No one was in- injured.
 One of these accidents took place about 11:15 am. Sunday, before the morning rain had turn ed to snow, at the intersection of Fish Hook Road with the highway. Warrant Officer Charles H. Wilt, who was nearing the end of a long journey to his new Alaska post, applied his brakes on the hill and slid into an incoming car from Fish Hook Road driven by Lieut.. John A. Boley.
 The other accident took place in Palmer about 5:15 pm. One of the drivers was cited by the High way Patrol for driving while un- der the influence of liquor. John D. Walton, pleading guilty to the charge in U. s. Commissioners court next day was fined $125, had his drivers license revoked for 60 days, and received a 60- day sentence, suspended. Further charges may be placed against Walton as a result of the accident.

ANCHOR FLIGHT ASSISTANCE
 SERVICE BEGINS

Inter-agency cooperation be- tween the Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration, U. s. Weather Bur eau and the Alaska Communica- tions System is now providing pilots in the Palmer area with a new service. This additional aid to the aeronautical public was in- augurated October 27, 1852 with the completion of a "fastline" be- tween Palmer and Anchorage.
 It is now possible for any pilot in the Matanuska Valley to use any telephone connected to the Palmer switchboard and have a direct line to the CAA Pilot Brief ing center and the Weather Bur eau Forecast office at Merrill Field in Anchorage. To use this service, a caller merely asks the Palmer operator for "CAA." As there will not be any ringing ser vice on this line, after the con- nection is made at Palmer, the caller must then say Anchorage CAA" or Anchorage Weather Bureau" whichever is desired. This voice signalling will be heard on a loudspeaker installed at those locations. Experienced per sonnel are on duty 24 hours a day to take flight plans, arrival re- ports, furnish pre-flight briefing and weather forecast service.
 As the CAA is continually stres- sing to pilots the importance of being thoroughly familiar with their proposed route of flight so that all flights may be conducted without mishap, it is hoped that the pilots in the Matanuska Val le will make full use of this direct "fastline" It must be recognized that occasionally a flight meets with unforeseen difficulties. If there is flight on file with the CAA, search and rescue proceed ures are instituted shortly after the plane is overdue. With this

TO BE RELOCATED MOOSE CREEK ROAD ON PARALLEL LINE

Palmer is going to lose it's lone angle street, Moose Creek Road.
 This street, which is the first south of the highway, running in northwesterly direction between Valley Street and Bailey Hill Street was cited by the City Planning Commission months ago as a bottleneck as far as over all planning for traffic and future building was concerned. It was urged then that a change should be made before more people were involved in the proposed change.
 The matter was brought to a head last night at City Council meeting by City Engineer Dick Demming because of the need for an efficient routing of water and sewer lines to serve people who will live in the future subdivision area. According to an unrecorded plat made by John L. Sullivan when he purchased the property north of the road some time ago, provision was made Con paper) for an extension of Matanuska Street to the highway and the extension of parellel alleys be- tween Valley and Matanuska Streets and between Matanuska and Bailey Hill Streets.
 Owners of the property invol- we'd were at the Council meet ing last night. They were Sand vik and Roark for the area north of Moose Creek Road facing on Valley Street, Lee Hartley, who had the section of land facing on Bailey Hill Street, Arthur Tom my Thompson, who has the plat in between, and Donald Medley, who has a house and garage on property south of the present Moose Creek Road.
 Together with Demming, the engineers worked out all the de- tails involved in abandoning the present Moose Creek Road and making plans for new road that will fit into the city's rectangular system. It will start just a roads width north of the present mouth on Valley street. Only a garage on Thompson's property will have to be moved to give the city ac- cess to the footage necessary for the extension of Matanuska Street

John D. Shaw Appointed City Magistrate
PERMANENT APPOINTMENT OF NEW CLERK IS IMMINENT; NEW CITY OFFICE SELECTED

Mayor Al Hagen's appointment of John Shaw as City Magistrate was unanimously approved by the City Council, meeting in special session last night in the Coop Club Room.
 Shaw, the local representative, of Butcher and Shaw, Attorneys at Law, has been acting City Clerk and City Magistrate since the new mayor and Council were sworn into office October 13. Previous to that time he had an appointment under former Mayor Carl Meier for both offices, dat ing from July l.
 The question of an appointment of City Magistrate came up when Mayor Hagen made a temporary appointment to fill the vacancy of City Clerk. In proposing Alice Weaver, former manager of Val ley Hospital, he indicated that the offices of City Magistrate and City Clerk would not be joined as previously.
 The temporary appointment of Alice Weaver as City Clerk was stymied by City Attorney Harold Butcher, when in answer to Coun- cllWoman Betty Mears' question, quoted from section of the Ter rltorlal Statutes showing that all city appointments of the mayor must be approved by the Council. The Council indicated desire to know more about Mrs. Weaver's qualifications before giving ap- proval. It was observed also that period of orientation under the present acting City Clerk would be necessary even for a temporary clerk and that the city would be involved in more expense when there was change to a perman- ent appointment. He thought the temporary appointment would be a Stopgap measure for an inn mediate emergency and that it would give the Council time and opportunity to give careful con- slderation to her qualifications. He said that she was a qualified stenographer, typist, and book keeper, that in addition to her experience as manager of the Valley Hospital, she had held similar positions in large hospitals in the States. Referring to a pre- viouSly expressed Council pref erence for someone with an en- gineering background, he observ- ed that it might be impossible to find all the desired qualifications in one person. He pointed out that the city already has an engineer (Richard Demming).
 Although Shaw had agreed to continue to handle the City Clerk job until a successor was appoint ed, Attorney Butcher pointed out that his present position, unsup- ported by any appointment is a precariouS one. He continues his work only through Council suf- ferance and there's only moral obligation to pay him. It was fin ally agreed that the Council would have special meeting this week to consider Miss Weaver as a permanent appointment.
 City Chooses New Office
 The whole issue of the appoint ment was further complicated by the decision to rent the No. 6 office space of the new Neal Wright building as a permanent city office. The 334-square-foot space at $85 monthly had been the choice of a special committee that had considered several other available offices. Mayor Hagen wanted the new City Clerk ap- pointed right away so that the city could establish it's perman- ent office as of November l. Shaw

PROPOSED ALASKA AGRICULT LTURAL LOAN BILL READY FOR PRESENTATION TO LEGISLATURE

Proposed Alaska Agriculture loan
 Probably the most important unsolved problem holding up de- velopment of Alaskan agriculture today is the problem of financing. This problem was spotlighted at the Mckinley Alaska Science Conference last month and by To- cal campaigning preceding the Territorial election October A. Losing no time, board members of the Alaska Soil Conservation District have drafted a suggested bill entitled "The Alaska Agricul- tural Loan Act" for presentation to the next Territorial Legisla- ture. Copies of the proposed legis- lation were mailed this week to the apparent winners of seats in the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives. Several of the legisla- tors already are wing for the honor of presenting the bill, but M. D. Snodgrass will probably be the sponsor or a co-sponsor.
 The proposed Alaska Agricul- tural Loan Act has as it's declared policy the promotion of more rapid development of agriculture as an industry throughout Alaska by means of long term low inter est loans. An agricultural Loan Board composed of five members, the majority of whom would be farmers or persons closely associ- ated with agriculture, would ad- minister the act. Appointment would be by the governor subject to confirmation by the Legisla- ture at it's next session following the appointment.
 Sections 4, 5, 6, ', and of the proposed act outline the powers of the board, interest allowed to contracting agencies, require ments for applicants, creation of the resolving loan fund, and an immediate appropriation.
 Section 4 would give the Agri- cultural Loan Board the follow ing powers:
 a. To make loans to individual farmers, homesteaders, and part nerships or corporations compos- ed of farmers and homesteaders for development of farms, storage, and processing of farm produce, livestock, and machinery. It is stipulated that farm development loans shall neither exceed S20,000 nor raise the total real estate in- debtedness above $2O0OO, that such loans will run not longer than 30 years nor bear interest in excess of Az percent. Chattel loans shall not exceed S1O,000 for each farm unit, shall not run longer than five years nor bear interest in excess of five percent.
 b. To employ necessary employ ees, designate agents and delegate such of it's powers as deemed nec- essary to such employees or agents.
 c. To adopt rules and regula- tions necessary to carry out it's functions.
 d. To establish amortization plan for repayment of loans.
 e. To enter into agreements with private loaning institutions, other Territorial agencies, or agencies of the Federal Govern ment to carry out the purposes of the act.
 Section allows payment of no more than two percent of the loans made by a contract agency under agreement with the Alaska Loan Board for its services in processing and collecting loans made under the act.
 Outlined in section 6 are the requirements with which appli-
