MAYOR OFFERS
 ANSWERS TO SOME PAVING QUESTIONS

Mayor Charles W. Wilson this week prepared answers to few Of the questions that are being asked in regards to the City's pro- posed plan for paving streets in Palmer. Although these questions and answers are by no means all that might come up, the May or has attempted to answer the ones most frequently asked. Pro perty owners who have other questions they wish answered are invited to write them out and leave them either at the office Of The Frontiersman or at City Hall. Answers to the questions will be printed in editions of The Frontiersman prior to the bond issue election, January 22
 Wiu the passage of a bond is sue for street improvements make raise in property tax necessary?
 No. The City Council raised the tax levy last June to provide one mill for schools; two mills for the water system and three mills for permanent street inn provements. No additional tax will be needed to retire the city share of a $200,000 bond issue.
 Why not make the bond issue large enough to pave all the streets So that we won't have to submit the issue again i'll four or five years?
 There are two reasons why the figure of $200,000 is being used at this time. First, 1t is enough to cover all paving that can be done before some additional sew er lines are placed. Second, the Territory will not allow Palmer 10 bond it's property beyond S500,- GOO on the present assessed eval- uation of $5 million. If this en- tire amount is voted for streets We would be unable to bond our selves for sewer lines until a major part of the paving bonds had been retired
 How much paving is planned for the immediate future?
 The City Council is asking the tax payers for authority to com ply with the requests of property owners for paving. The $200,000

Mdrgdrets Veil q Revenge:
Trumdn's New Deep Freeze

Still the chief topic of con-
versation. the weddings Of
Margaret and Grace will be
talked about for months to
come. There were so many
sidelights.
For instance, Drucie Snyder
Horton. who came straight
here from independence to
visit her parents, said she
remembered very little about
the ceremony. so concerned
was she about handling Mar
garet's tricky veil. The
ivory-colored illusion was held
on by a fine elastic that cir
cled the brides head in front
of the lace tiara effect. To lift
the veil back from Margaret's
face, her matron of honor also
had to lift the elastic band and
place it just in back of the de-
licately wired standing crown
of lace. otherwise the veil
would have f1attened it down.
Then, to be sure the band
didn't roll down the back of
Margaret'S head, she had to
anchor it with a pin-all this
while everyone waited and all
eyes were upon her.
