COUNCIL. NOTES
(Continued from page D

(COntlnued rom page U a sewer election in the City of Palmer formerly advertised for July 31. The special election was concerning the construction of a sewer system for the City of Pal mer.
 Several new hook-ups on the City of Palmer water system have been completed recently, it was reported. Although many water users have complied with the city's request to install water meters, there still remain some users who have not yet installed meters. Water to these users will be stopped, council members stat ed, unless the requirement is com piled with.
 A discussion on the purchase of the Co-Op's sewer outfall follow ed a report by the city water and sewer committee on a joint meet ing between them and represen- tatives of the Coop board of di- rectors last week. Present at the meeting was Charles Tryck of Anchorage who offered technical information concerning the pres ent outfall system. The Coop re- peated their earlier offer to sell the outfall to the city of the sum of $26,000 with a 20-year free-use clause. The city will continue ne gotiations with the Coop in an attempt to arrive at a more satis- factory agreement.
 Although City Clerk Elizabeth Barry rendered her resignation from that office, effective August Is, no action was taken. Council members stated they did not feel qualified to act immediately up- on her request. Mrs. Barry had requested an increase in salary from $500 month to $500, which had not been acted upon and of fered this as the main reason for
  resigning.
 Bills approved for payment were as follows: M.V.F. Coop Association, $194.83; H. D. Hayes, SIS; Snyder Office Supply, $38.O5; Yukon Radio Supply, Inc, $2O6; Ketchikan Spruce, $155.27; Kay Pippel Insurance, $186.84; City of Anchorage, $68.09; Line Material Co.,, $26.89; Dennis Buzby, $169.- 95, and Frank Brown, $154.5O.
 
 The next regular meeting will be held in the clerks office on August 10 at 7:30 pm.

MOOSE OBSERVE
 10TH ANNIVERSARY

A popular Alaskan breakfast of sourdough hot cakes and ham and eggs will be enjoyed at Moose hall Sunday morning, August 8, when Palmer Moose Lodge No. '793 celebrates ther 10th anniver- :sary. Breakfast will begin promptly at 8:30 with Lee Hen dershot in charge of arrange 1ments.
 Following the breakfast meet ing and initiation will be con- ducted by past governors of the lodge.
 Completing the day-long pro- gram will be a pot-luck picnic for all Moose members, candidates, and their families during the af- ternoon. The picnic will be held at Barry's Finger Lake resort. Hot dogs, pop and ice cream will be furnished by the lodge. An af- ternoon of games for you and old is planned.
 Members of the local Moose lodge will remi see on Sunday, August 8, when they meet for breakfast. They will look Uccl. over the past 10 years with -?~.oe nd satisfaction.
 , ne will remember August 7, :. J44 when the Lodge was institu- ted with 50 charter members. Meetings were held in the old Grange Hall. As years went by property was acquired and Quenset hut set up across from the Ketchikan Spruce Mills Lum- Der yard in Palmer. Members soon built a basement and in 1851 the present Moose Hall was com pleted. A dedication meeting and initiation was held in the hall on November 4, 1851. Since that time the hall has been used for many purposes by the Moose and other organizations of Palmer Notable among these have been the many fine banquets served by the Women of the Moose.
 From the beginning, the local Moose lodge took their part in supporting the many civic pro- .jects that the growing city of Pal -mer had needed-the Palmer Air ,port-the Valley Hospital Health Council, and the cemetery as- :sociation are only few.
 In 1949 the lodge sponsored community "A1aska's Favorite Game" night which netted $500 for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis emergency fund.
 All worth while community projects have always been given a hand. A Junior baseball pro- gram was started many years ago and the present Little and Pony Leagues are the outgroWth of that beginning Teenage parties and dances have been held in Moose Hall for several years.
 la 1850 the Palmer Moose were hosts to the Alaska Moose Asso- citation during their territorial conference. This was the first ter ritorial-wide convention to be held in Palmer. Meetings were held in the basement of the Am 'erican Legion Hall. Ralph Moore of Palmer was honored by being

the voters will turn in a straight
Democratic ticket, influenced by
the fact it is headed by Senator
Johnson.
In this State, as in others,
there is no evidence of great
excitement over the election
campaign. The Democrats are
contending that Democratic
Congress will give Colorado a
better break than the Republi-
cans. particularly in the matter
of water supply, which is of vital
interest here. The Republicans
deny this, and stand squarely en-
the record of the Eisenhower
administration in both foreign
and domestic affairs.
Decidedly. it looks as though
the Republicans have a tough,
uphill battle to elect a Senator,
although the vote will probably
be far closer than the present
poll would indicate.

for almost an hour with a hard
hitting political speech the audi
ence ate up. He is just complet-
ing tWo-year term as Governor
and is without Republican op-
position for a term now set by
law at four years.
He assailed the administration,
but probably most vigorously on
the score of the proposed Dixon
Yates contract.
"It's unsound economically and
won't stand the test of morality"
he asserted. Good conscience
ought to demand that they (the
Administrations lay that contract
on the table in the light of day.
Its a deal, not a contract.

expressed his sympathy for

Gov. Clement took a fling at
Secretary Wilson and also at

whom he referred to as the Sec

that mobility of labor is the

The diners also heard a mes

In 20 short months the Re-
publican controlled Congress
has dealt devastating blows to
the traditional American policy

natural resources in the interest
of all the people and not the IA

day approved the biggest tax relief item in this administration omni- bus tax revision bill - an aeeeler- ated depreciation plan which will benefit both corporations and in dividuals. It is estimated the bill will cost the government S375 mil- lions yearly, $500 millions for cor porations and S75 millions for in dividuals. The bill would give the taxpayers the right to use the de- clining balance method Of depre- citation at double the corresponding straightline rate. The effect of this permits corporations and individ- uals to take a much bigger tax write-offs for depreciation in the early years of the life of a plant, equipment or a building than is presently allowed.
