Yet" he added, T and every person who has ever served on a Council, has had occasions arise where it was necessary to do just that. With a city manager, work projects would be lined up in advance: he would have time and talent to plan ahead. Such planning would avoid many of the emergency type decisions that have had to be made by

YAA TO HOUSE FEW PRISONERS HERE TEMPORARILY

According to Russell Lowell of the State Youth and Adult program, it is planned to house a small number of adult male prisoners in the dining building on the fairgrounds for a short period of time. Arrangements were completed this week with directors of Alaska State Fair, Inc. for the use of the addition al building. The Authority has been using one of the other buildings for storage purposes.
 The men, who will be kept under 24-hour surveillance, have been carefully screened. None of them will be persons having committed any major crime. Some are bad check passers, some picked up for drunk and diSorderly charges - most of them are between the ages of 20 and 30 years. When they have served their time, they will be returned to the city from which they came, none will remain here in Palmer" Lowell said.
 The men will be part of the work crew who are preparing the adult prison camp in the Buffalo Mine area. While say ing at the fairgrounds, the men will be working on the grounds cleaning winter debris and helping ready the grounds fol the years fair, Lowell said.

 The meeting was opened by Ralph Moore, Charter Commis- sion chairman, and an informal discussion period followed dur ing which a few minor ques- tions were answered.
 Officials expressed regret that the majority of city voters had neglected to attend the meeting. It was pointed out that many weeks of study and work went into the final char ter copy, The charter was print ed in it's entirety in the From tiersman and copies mailed to all known voters of the city.
 When questioned as to whe- there or not the city can afford to hire the services of a city manager, Moore said that this same question had been dis eussed many times at charter meetings. "As far as we could determine" Moore stated, "a city manager should not cost the taxpayer one dime. The work he would perform as a trained and qualified city man. age. would save the city con- siderable dollars over his sal ary. It was proposed that a manager be selected from out side Alaska.
