NO FILINGS YET IN 'TY ELECTION

Although no city residents have yet filed for either of the two three-year terms on the Pal mer City Council, two petitions are being circulated i'll the city and are expected to be filed within a short time. Mrs. Al {EtheD King announced this morning that she is planning to file for one of the Council seats and that her petition for filing is being circulated in the city, Mrs. King, with her husband, op- crate the Palmer Automotive. She has been a resident of Pal mer for a number of years and is member of the Matanuska Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Notes

The regular City Council meet ing was called off September II, when a lack of quorum pre- vented Councilmen present from conducting business. The meet ing was slated for 8 pm. but only Couneilmembers Lucille Mick, William Zahradnicek and Al DeJulio were present, along with the city clerk and attorney.
 A lack of quorum means that the majority of city business cannot be conducted. In the ab- sence of the Mayor, Territorial Law stipulates that there must be five Councilmembers present to conduct business. It requires four affirmative votes to pass on any motion. Mayor Wilson is in the States at the present time on Soil Conservation business, two Councilmembers delayed while on hunting trips and one other was unable to attend.
 Business being held up in cludes the acquisition of Civil Defense materials and equip ment which can be made avail able to the City of Palmer at a very low cost, including a large supply of asphalt, available at Fairbanks; rock crusher, D-8 Cat; plus numerous parts for repairs to equipment and other supplies. These items are avail able to the city for only a limit ed time for other cities in the

Proposed Bond Issue Explained by Mayor

Realizing there may be some confusion in the minds of voters regarding the proposed $200,0 900 bond authorization for street improvements when part of all increased City property tax levy was earmarked for those same improvements, Mayor Charles Wilson issued this week the fol- lowing statement Of explanation:
 The City Council recently in- creased the tax levy on city pro- perty for the purpose of provid- ing money to help pay for the water system e mills) and for street improvements 6 mills1.
 The thfee-mill levy for street improvements will bring an ap- proximately $l5,000 year. Part of this will be spent on tempor- ary improvements such as dust control and drainage, but pro- bably the greater share will be spent OH permanent improve ments under a street paving pro gram.
 Territorial law makes the city responsible for one-third of the cost of these permanent improve ments; the property owners di- reetly benefited are responsible for tWo=thirds of the cost.
