Editors note: The following letter is being reprinted to ex- plain the recent street work. done in the Experiment Station section of Palmer. The letter is addressed to the Street Commit tee of the City of Palmer to be presented at the next regular meeting of the City Council.
 In order to assure full under standing of the recent drainage and street improvement pro- gram, the initial phases of which were completed last week, the Experiment Station is forward ing the following report through your committee to the City Council and the residents of Palmer.
 As soon as the City could sup ply street grade information based on Tryck's surveys, Mir. Dave Bryant was hired by the Experiment Station to do the necessary excavating. He con structed a drainage ditch some 500 feet long on the east houn- dry of the Experiment Station land. It is hoped this ditch will remove all surface drainage from the street area. Surface water will collect on the south part of the Experiment Station property. It will not drain into either the airport system or the Springer road net and thus of fers no hazard to the airport, the high school, nor other city streets.
 Tn conformity with city speci- fications, MT. Bryant also exca. vated Fairview street between Snodgrass and Federal intersec. tions Both projects required 1872 hours of his time and were controlled by levels established by Experiment Station person mel. An estimated 1900 yards of soil was removed.
 Prior to lowering the street grade, cooperative arrange ment was agreed upon with the
The frontiersman., 1956-07-05

City's Street Committee to in- sure that subgrade materials meeting City specifications would be available. The City agreed to furnish and load such materials providing the Experi- ment Station would haul them into place. MT. Felzien spent ap- proximately 10 hours in loading trucks with subgrade aggregate furnished by the City. To haul gravel the Experiment station hired MT. Boicourt (who furnish ed his own truck, MT. Dick Branton (who drove an Experi- ment Station truck for four hours, and the City's truck for six hours), and MT. Jack Zimow- ske (who furnished truck and driver).
 Listed below are the estimated costs to the Experiment Station for this improvements:
 Planning and supervision: $105; earth moving; $462. 50, back hoe (Hayes1: $99; back fill ing: $40; trucks and drivers fZimowske, Boicourt, Brantom: $198; survey and level controls: $78. Total contribution of the Experiment Station: $982.50. It should be noted that this improvement represents a con- tribution of nearly 1000 by the Experiment Station to the City of Palmer because this particu- lar block is a city street. The Ex- pertinent Station justifies this . contribution on the basis that good access and good drainage , make for better working condi- tions and prevent costly build , ing and grounds maintenance. It is realized that the City of Palmer is now in no position to underwrite the cost of this work nor could it be undertaken alone by the City in the forseeable future. On the other hand, it is believed that the City's eontri-
 bution-consisting of about 12 hours of MT. Felzien's time plus the subgrade gravels-is mod est but extremely worthwhile ex- penditure. Without this cooper
 ation the job could not have been done.
