COUNCIL HEARS OF WATER LINE ADVANCE

Members of the city council and Mayor Hagen heard reports on the progress of the city water distribution system installation at the regular meeting held August 4.
 Ditching and pipe-laying work has been progressing rapidly this week with a full crew working on the IA inch supply line from the reservoir to the city. Although the ditch in the North Palmer area has been filled, competing work has not yet been done, Russ Felzien reported. Felzien re- ported that some of the fill in North Palmer had trees and stumps and were being put into the ditches along with the gravel. However, later in the evening APW Inspector Ray Mathews told the council that he had satis- fled himself that not much debris was going in the ditches. Some cleanup work will have to be done in that area, he said.
 Mayor Hagen questioned Ma thews about the fill in the sec ton on Valley street near the hotel. Mathews told he Mayor and council members that there is nothing in the contract with Arctic Plumbing and Heating company that would force them to put in any different fill than they take out in the diching work. Some concern had been felt by residents on the heavy rocks go- ing back in over the pipe line, both from the damage point of view and fear of easy freezing this winter. Mathews said suffici- ent packing would have to be done before any filling is com pleted.
 Mayor Hagen pointed out the advisibility of placing culverts in strategic locations while the streets are dug up. The street committee was asked to make a check on the system and arrive at the total number that will be needed this year.
 Along with this, with council approval, Russ Felzien reported that street signs for traffic regu- lation in the city will be pur- chased as recommended by the traffic committee.
 A letter from the Palmer h. dependent School board request ing permission to allow the new high school to hook on to the six inch water line on Springer road was read. Following a brief dis cussion it was agreed to permit their request providing their lines meet city specifications.

A very limited exchange of

confirmation came from an off,
cial of Canada's atomic energy
plant in Chalk River, Ontario.
The Canadian said the ex-
changes have been going on for
about a year-since the Ameri-
can atomic energy act was
amended to permit such dis

For Bypossing Board on Fee

Robert F. Cogswell, head of the
new Occupations and Professions
Department, yesterday was
scolded by District Commissioner
Samuel Spencer for failing to
consult the Optometry Board on
recommended changes affecting
the board.
The polite tiff occurred during
a public hearing on whether the
optometry registration renewal
fee should be raised IS per year
from the present $40 level.
Mr.. Cogswell recommended the
increase. He warned that declin-
ing revenues since 1851 mean the
Optometry Board budget will
soon show a deficit, unless the
proposed fee increase goes into
effect.
DR.. E. Ray Ballinger, vice pres
ident Of the board, disagreed. DR.,
Ballinger declared the board OPP
poses the SIS increase unless the
$3.50 more it would bring each
year could be used to investigate
illegal practices and misleading
advertising by optometrists. A

traitor of General Services, and
Budget Director Joseph M.
Dodge have ordered Is major
