Police Chief Staris 30Day Leave Sunday; Deputy Appointed

Police Chief Bernie Bouwens leaves Sunday for a trip Outside his first in 12 years. The City Council two months ago okayed his request for 30-day leave on condition that a competent per son could be found and trained to take his place.
 Last night Bouwens announced that he had sworn in his relief policeman and was training him this week in his duties. His ap- pointment of Donald DeFolio for the 30-day assignment was ap- proved in the Council meeting last night. According to Bouwens, DeFolo has been resident of Palmer for the past two years and has had previous police eXperi- ence of one year.
 Bouwens also relayed to the City Council two complaints from the people of North Palmer and added one of his own. As a re- suit of these complaints he recom- mended that the Council request the Alaska Road Commission and Highway Patrol to change the speed sign on the highways east city limits from 35 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour, the statu- tory speed for residential dis trict: and to change the broken center line on the highway Gin dicating passing zone) to a solid line (indicating no passing) from Ed Christenson's to Hartley garage, where a solid line already starts and continues up Bailey Hill. Bouwens also asked that the stop sign on Wasilla Road be moved up closer to the lntersec- tion of the road with Valley Street. The Council authorized letters to the ARC and Highway Patrol requesting these changes.

proximately $107,625, making the total federal share of the project cost over $145,000.
 The difference between the es- inmates on the first and second applications thus boosted the fed eral participating amount by ap- proximately S50,000, most of the increase having stemmed from in crease in land costs. Territorial administration critics siezed on this increase to embarrass the ad- miniStration by charges of collu- sion between administration of ficialS and CAA administrators of the federal act of Alaska. The charges were heard way down in Washington, where they were re- peated on the floors of Congress, thus precipitating the Palmer Airport investigation in January of 1851, four months after the airport had been dedicated.
 Roland Snodgrass, secretary of the Palmer Airport Association represented the association and gave testimony that showed clearly that the Territorial evalu- ation was just and fair, that the Portland engineers low land evaIuation was unrealistic with its complete disregard of the incon- :estable facts and figures under lying a true valuation.
 It has been pointed out that 6 similar case in Ohio was promptly , settled by the government and payment made. Yet in the case of Alaska, a Territory repeatedly denied statehood, is being penal ized by being cut off from the full amount of the federal subsidy il is entitled to under the law.
 Whether or not the game is over was not apparent this week Already Commissioner of Avia- ton Tony Schwamm has demand ed a complete investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investiga' ton if one scrap of evidence o1 fraud or collision was suspected While there is still a spark o1 fight left in administration forces it is doubtful that the game will be called-football games are rarely called, even political ones

appraisal by a Portland engineer based on the value of an equal number of acres of farm land in various sections of the Valley, re- gardless of location.
 The Territory paid the Airport Association $150,00Q for the im- proved land. After paying out $5,- 500 for uncleared land acquired by the Assocation from local own CTS, the Association gave the bal ance of the money back to the Territory. The Territory itself ne- gotiated-payment for other tracts of land, so that the total going to owners of land occupied by the airport amounted to approximate ly S12,500.
 The original application had es- timated the land cost toward which the federal government would contribute 25 percent at $5,500-the early value given to uncleared land then in use. Esti- mated construction costs of ap- proximately S124,565 were based on labor rates at the time of this application was made, the feder- al share of these construction costs being approximately S93, ,425. The total federal participating amount was estimated at slightly under $95,000. The second appli- cation, following the necessary Territorial enabling legislation, was different. Construction costs had risen, more land was needed for the airport, and the Territory had learned that the federal act permitted the Territory to place reasonable value on the land. The Territory valued the land at the $150,000 acquisition price it had paid the Palmer Airport Asso- citation. This tipping of the land cost increased the federal share to S37, 800 under the second applica- ton. Fast rising wages had in- creased the construction estimates so that the federal share was ap-
