Ed Smith, president of the Palmer Board of Education, pre- Sided at an open meeting held Tuesday of this week, during which time the forthcoming S300- 000 bond election was discussed.
 Pointing out to the 25 persons who attended the public meeting, smith stated that for the past several years enrolment in the Palmer schools has increased ap- prDXimataly one classroom each year. The school district has added rooms tO Central Schooli has converted storage rooms into classrOoms I'll the same building. built the six classroom Swanson School and the high school. and at the present time there IS d need for additional classr0oms this isn't something that has sudden ly been dumped in our lays it is reasonable for your school board and superintendent Of schools 10. forSee the need for in creased classroOms however, Iit was brought to 2 head with tha appropriation of $8l ,000 in fed- eral funds. Mt is wise to add siX classroOms and the cafeteria-Inul
 ti-purpose room to Swanson thereby better utilizing each dol- laI and the teaching staff"
 Jack Daum, representing Alas ka Securities, pointed out t0 the audience that a community must demonstrate it's credit standing. "You must demonstrate to thu purchaser of the bonds that you are able to repay them even when a bond issue is approved

 Charles Balm of Sutton pointed out to those present that the SNt- ton community is continuing to grow that school children of that area must spend 45 minutes each way, each day in travel time and that there is an apparent need for a school in that area. He pointed out that the need to ride such a great distance each day leaves the children too tired at the end of the day 10 do their best in their studies Board menl- befs pointed out that it would be helpful if a census was taken ln the Sutton area to determine the number of children in the various age groups. we would well come a member 0f the Sutton community On the Board Of Edu- cation" said one member. who added. ''I feel sure a Sutton Gal- didate would receive local supp port. as we'll ais support from his or her own community, because the majority desire representa- tion from the entire school dis- trict, rather than from Dne eDn- centrated area
 The estimated cost of the addi- tion to Swanson School was set by the architect at $289, 900 -by utilizing the S81,O00 federal funds, the new construction would cost the taxpayers from one to two mills, dependent upon the con-

By law the rate Can not be over six percent. Additional costs for the increased teaching setaff would. under the current program, be borne 75% by the territory, 25% by the community.
 "Do We get the S8l 1000 federal funds even if the S300.000 elec- tlOn fails2D asked one 0f those attending the meeting It was ans 0-red that IF suitable al- teraHte project could be prepar- ed, the school district might still be able to receive the funds however. it was pointed out, an alternate project would present a problem in that Swanson School WAS . originally built to permit the addit fSonoicxioseaaZc' c'stra l2 the addition of six classrooms amy lesser amount would involve considerable changes in construc- ton it was stated that with oNt an approved project for the federal funds. it could be that the money would be used some Where. else in an area ready for its use.

The sum of $3l ,42l.02 was re- celved this week by Matanuska Electric Association as repay ment of major portion of loans made to the Central Alaska Pow er Association (CAPA) by the lo- cal electric co-op in 1855.
 In q letter accompanying the payment Justine Parks, secre- tary-treasurer of CAPA explains that the amount enclosed com pletely covers the first loan of $25, $5,955.82 of the second note of $l5,000; and $465.20 being all of the expenses of MEAS rel presentatives to CAPA.
 A balance of $9,044.l8 still due the Palmer utility is covered, she adds, by tools and equipment at the site of the Cooper Lake hy- droelectric project.
 The Central Alaska Power AS- sociation was originally formed for the purpose of developing power sites in this area of Alas ka. Funds for the work of the association were advanced by it's members iii the form of loans, with plans to repay the loans when actual generation of elec- tricity was achieved.
 Matanuska Electric Association withdrew its membership from CAlFA in 1856, when CAPA's pur- poses and operating methods were questioned by the MEA member ship.
 CAPA financed the exploration and engineering studies of the Cooper Lake project which has since been taken over by Chugach Electric Association of Anchor age A loan was recently granted CEA by the Rural Identification Administration for construction of hydroelectric generating facil- ities at the Cooper Lake site.
