on passed motion indicating intent to support the project in any way possible.
 The Anchorage Timing As sociation's financial agent, Er- nst Brown, spoke about the need for support from all the people of Palmer. He said he would talk to the council about the financial aspects of the dragstrip-the impact on busi- ness and the community - at some future time.
 In conclusion, Chief Bencar- dino also indicated need for support from all the people not just few. He mentioned the Palmer Lions Club, which has set up a committee to help. The drag shippers and busi- nessmen feel, he said, that they can benefit the community much more with the change in site, where activities will not be limited to Sundays and special events difficult to CO., ordinate. Expression of appre- citation to those airmen who had given their assistance in the airport drag strip proposal were followed by Bencardino's hope that the drag shippers soon would be able to help the city and the airmen with funds for the city's 19 percent share of the cost of paving the air strip under the Federal Airport program.

Three men interested in for estfy and recreational park de velopment in the state were guests of the Matanuska Val ley Chamber of Commerce at the regular Frontier Cafe luncheon meeting Wednesday.
 They were A. J. Daley, man. ager of the wood products divi- sion of the Wyerhaeuser Com pany of Tacoma; Earl Plourde, state forester, and Ted Smith. both of the Forestry, Parks and Recreation section of the state Division of Lands.
 Plourde, the featured speak CT. was enthusiastic about the potential of the Matanaska- Saz sItna area Our cottonwood Is among the finest in the world. he said And other species such as spruce. birch and aspen compare faVorably with the Great Lakes region. Canada and the Scandinavian coun- tries.
 lie described as a step in the right direction a Senate bill now before the Alaska Legis- lature which would provide for an inventory of state forestry resources. Because there has been no such inventry, specific information relating to Alas ka's timber stands could not be given to industries which might otherwise have been interested in development of these resour- ces. Money appropriated in d companion bill would make possible such inventories in six major areas as well as d determination of quantity and quality in each area, Plourde said. In addition, other resour- ceS will be inventoried along with the timber-agriculture reereation-ln an overall lane use plan.
 He observed that winter log ging is entirely feasible in this area and much cheaper, since the general lack of roads in forest areas make for difficult logging in summer.

Plans for the proposed drag strip are shifting from the Palmer Airport to an area close to but beyond the present in- corporated limits of the city of Palmer, Police Chief Louis Bencardino told the city coun- cil special session Tuesday night.
 Some 20 visitors interested in the proposal were present from the local and Anchorage areas.
 Reason for the drag strip groups consideration of alter nate plans, the police chief said, were the controversy over the use of the airport, the ex- ceedingly high price asked for adjoining land considered nec- essary for the development, and an offer of a tract of land large enough to permit construction of other facilities, such as a circle track and a tilt cart track, in addition to the regula- tion 400 foot drag strip.
 Its large enough so that we can also build our state fair with a coliseum and adequate parking provisions in the same area" he added. He also said that the Alaska Railroad had indicated that a spur could be constructed so that racing ve- hicles, livestock and even visi- tors from all over the state could be unloaded right in the area.

 Answers to questions reveal ed that the grade will provide for a flat approach to the rail- road tracks at the Fairview crossing and that a perhaps three percent approach will be necessary from 10 ARA homes to Springer road. None of the fair buildings will have to be moved because of right-of-way width, but the high school will lose it's parking space in front dangerous, anyway, Gray said. The right-of-Way would extend to the west end of the sidewalks in front of the Church of Latter Day Saints. A five-foot easement for utility poles has been worked out with MEA, Gray said. He also indi- cated that similar easement could be worked out for pro posed city sewer lines if plans are given immediately to the project design engineers.
 The state highway officials. while taking on the responsi- bility for obtaining right-of- way easements both within and outside the city, would appreciate the cooperation Of the people in expediting this process, Gray told the council.

Springer Loop System this summer were revealed to members of the Palmer city council meeting in special ses- sion Tuesday night.
 Robert Gray, pre-constfuc- ton engineer on the project, described the planned improve ment after introducing Walter Lewis and Carl Malby, project design engineers, and David James. project right-of=Way agent.
 The approved project. Gray said, calls for q 36-foot wide subgrade and a 30-foot finished width of bituminous treatment "a three-shot application" This improvement would cover total of 6.49l miles of h e Loop system, including [ h { part within the city from | h e city limits at the high school to the Springer Road intersec- ton with FairvieW Avenue, thence west past the Fair Grounds and over the railroad crossing to a junction with the Matanuska highway.
 That part within the city - 2,825 feet-waS the subject of the discussion between the Department of Highways engi- neers and the council. Although the improvement is being fi- nanced through the Federal -aie Highway program. the 5.l' per cent of the total cost with
 in the city not covered by fed eral funds will be the city responsibility cord ng tC state law, Gray explained. Ac cording to pre-constructlon es. inmates this would amount tC about S2.000, Gray estimated but a better figure would be known after bids on the pro- ject are opened. It will be then that the city will be asked to sign an agreement with h Q state.
 Possible problems presented by the proposed 80-foot right of-way (40 feet on either side of the center line of the exist ing road9 and the height of the finished grade (30 inches above present grade) were discussed. Gray explained that the pro- posed grade for the road is necessary for proper founda- ton and for proper drainage for the area-a most important area in the city's drainage sys- tenn. Our designers have tra- ced the drainage so that none of the water will be pOeketed.
