COUNCIL COUNCIL NOTES NOTES

Continued from page u
| court case known as the City Of
Anchorage VS.. Hilton in which
Anchorage is attempting to have
fines levied in an appeal case re-
vert back to the city. At the pres
ent time when a court case is APP
| pealed from the magistrates
court, any fines levied in the
district court 60 to the govern
ment. BY joining Anchorage in
this case, the City of Palmer is
under no obligation other than
moral support. Fairbanks and
Seward cities have joined Anch-
orage in such a way A token
payment of SIS was authorized
BY the Council to help" the City
Of Anchorage. City Attorney John
Shaw pointed out that in years
to come Palmer could greatly
benefit should Anchorage win
this case. Although the district
attorney is supposed to handle
cases appealed to the district
court, his time is so limied, that
cities prefer to do their own work
and preparation for the cases and
as a result the cities bear the
cost Of the case, yet do not re-
ceive the fines.
To buy gravel pit
A motion to purchase land
amounting to about four acres,
three miles south of town, was
approved. The land will be pur-
chased for the sum of $500 from
the estate of the late John Van
Ryn. The land will be used as
a gravel pit.
Other items of business dis
cussed at the meeting included
the unpopularity of new police
uniforms recently purchased.
Council members were not in
favor of the style chosen and
stated different type uniforms
should be secured. The public
safety committee is to approve
the final selection in the
meantime it will not be compul-
sorry for the police to wear the
present uniforms.
The Council authorized the
city clerk to request complete
listing of insurance being car
ried BY the City, and the cost Of
same.

Ihe biggest play you'll see this fall

of a revolutionary new rule, the first

players, fans and coaches in an upfoar.

Stocks Lower
lin 81 Range;
Trading Slack

NEW YORK. Feb. 81 (R.-
The stock market drifted lower
in the early afternoon in quiet
trading.
Some key issues were off a
point or more but most losses
were in fractions. There was a
shrinking of small gains.
Steels, metals. tobaccos and
rubbers gave ground. AircraftS,
airlines and oils were irregu-
larry higher and motors were
about steady.
Much of the days business
news was bearish. Metals were
influenced by a new cut in the
price of copper by a Belgian
producer and dividend reduce
tons by some smaller COM
panieS.
Down around a point were
Goodrich, International Paper,
Phelps Dodge. Du Point. Amer
lean Tobacco. Lorillard and
United States Gypsum.
Corporate bonds we're of.
Government issues dipped.
