Following a tradition of
about ten years standing,
members of the Palmer Elks
Lodge will travel to Talkeetna
on Sunday, Dec. %, to give a
Christmas party for the chill
dren there.

Stevens pickup. Making t h e
trip will be Ben Cabo, Ben
Hudgins, Melendy, Stevens,
and possibly one or two others.
Talkeetna youngsters will as
semble in the school for t h e
party. Santa will distribute
gifts and candy, and movies
will be shown.
Burgan said there are no
needy families in the Talkeetna
area this year, so Christmas
baskets have not been m d e

Named to Assembly

test a councilman's action in
asking the city police to inves-
tigate dumping of garbage at
the end of the airport runway,
since some garbage h d been
scattered on the way to tn e
airport and on the runway 1t
self. King said that fill IS
needed for the river embark
ment, and the airnen are re-
sponsible for maintenance OF
the airport: that he felt t h e
complaint should have come to
the alrmen.
1t was brought out that an
other member of the Airmen's
Association has recently order
ed mo Dumping sAgns to be
placed at the end of the run
way.
Other Business
Councilmen Dick GeiWitZ
and Walt Briggs were named
to work with the tax assessor
to farniliarize themselves with
the assessed valuations of prop
erty within the city.
Don Irwin, city manager,
said he has made an agree
ment with Joe Curtis, who will
build kennels for t h e pound
without charge. and that a
new contract with the dog cat
cher will be set up.
A motion was approved for
the city manager to take steps
to secure interim financing for
the Palmer sewer system in the
amount of $4,000. The move
was taken to enable the bond
ing firm to sell all bonds in a
block next spring, rather than
part of them now, in order to
obtain a better interest rate.
General fund bills in t h e
amount of $6,583.47 were ap-
proved, also water bills total
ling $1,09816.

Shipping Men Attend
Chamber Luncheon

I'VE ship nowhere but Alas
ka," said Bob Rose of t h e
Alaska Steamship Co. at the
noon luncheon meeting Of the
Matanuska Valley Chamber of
Commerce yesterday. s'If Alas
ka doesn't prosper and grow we
won't. "
Rose, with other representa-
tiVes of the shipping and truck
ing industry. is in Palmer this
week to attend the farm SEES
slen at the Grange hall which
began yesterday and is contin-
uing today.
Rose said the shipping in
dustry is giving considerable
time to studies on ways to less
en- operational costs. He a i d
there IS no reason to believe
that these costs will continue
to spiral.
Congress, he SAID, IS aware of
the problem of keeping a good
merchant marine fleet. which
is essential not only for COM
merce but for defense. Senator
Bartlett now has two bills be-
fore the Senate which are de-
signed to correct Alaskan ship

ambulance calls during off
hours and on holidays be in
creased from $40 a month to
$500 a month. Mrs. Wells said
that under the present set-up,
the operator is being paid Is
or 20 cents an hour for h l.
work. Councilmen, although
agreeing that $40 was made
quate, pointed out that tn e
operator is also on duty for
other reasons, and that the $500
figure was not realistic. 1t was
agreed to take the proposition
under advisement. Mrs Wells
said that under no e;rcum-
stances would the hotel staff
jeopardize the fire and ambu-
lance service by refusal to ac-
cept calls.
Russ Felzien asked the coun-
Gil to refund $40 which he said
he spent in attorneys fees, af-
ter his son was cited for div
ing down Palmer alley, as
the case was thrown out OF
court by the Palmer city attor-
ney. Louis Beneardino, Palmer
police chief, said the use of al
leys is restricted to entrance to
residences and places Of bust
ness, and that the youth h a d
been using the alley for a
thoroughfare and had not stop
ped for intersections; also that
the young man had been an oc-
cupant of a car stopped by the
police the previous week 70 r
driving in an alley.
Felzien was told that t h e
council is not a court of law,
and that once a citation h S

Named to the District Z bor-
ough assembly at the Palmer
City Council meeting on Fri
day. Dec. 13, were William
Hermann and Willard Johnson.
The two were chosen by ballot.
Hermann is owner-manager
of the Belvedere Apartments
and has mining interests in the
area. johnson, who is chief en-
gineer for Matanuska Electric
Association, lives on Matanus-
ka Street.
Both assemblymen expressed
the wish that close relation
shin be maintained with t h e
city ii their work on the Dor
ough assembly.
kezoning Hearing
The council approved mo-
ton to rezone the west half OF
Block 9, of the revised plat OF
ARC Subdivision No. l from
residential to commercial use
The action followed a public
hearing, at which only two
property owners testified. They
were Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Ped
erson, residents of the ar e a
who asked if there were plans
for paving Matanuska Street
expressing concern about t h {
dust problem from traffic if 6
commercial building is erected
in the location named in tn {

Council members pointed out
that the council has obligated
itself to pave the street area
in front of the new post office

ping inequity, Rose noted. I'm
der present conditions, Alas
kans are paying, through
shipping costs, for the defense
of the nation as a whole, he
pointed out. The Bartlett bills
would establish u b S i d e S
which would pay half the costs
of construction of new vessels.
However, Rose said, this
does not appear to be a solution
to high freight rates. He said
Alaska Steam recently pur=
chased a Liberty ship for about
$685., 600, and have spent con-
siderably more to renovate it.
1t would cost SO million to
construct new vessel. Even if
Congress subsidized half h e
cost, S. million would still re-
main en- the company's books,
and to make the new vessel
pay, it would have to be 10
times more effective than the
carriers AAS now has.
Other guests at the meet
ing included Dick Berg of the
travel division of the state de-
partment of economic develop
ment and planning; John AL
cantra, aide to Gov. Egan; Oar

necessary, but that the Dor
ough must ask for it.
Carter also brought up the
question of moving borough
boundaries inward, citing the
Meekin school located almost
100 miles away as an example
of a school administrative prob
lem. Cease said that if this
were to be done, it would be
necessary to set up a hearing
right after Jan. TO allow time
to present the boundary change
to the legislature. All assembly
men and school board members
agreed that they would prefer
to wat and get the opinion If
the area residents before max
ing such a move.
In discussing adding area
wide powers beyond the three
mandatory ones, Cease a d
that he considers the law as it
applies to second class Dor
0ughs TO be far too cumber-
some; that n his opinion tn e
step which requires th e as
sembly to petition the local af-
fairs agency for approval of
the added power before going
/ To the voters should be elirni-
mated.
| A1cantra and Cease present
ed two different points of view
on the selection of ten per cent
of unappropriated lands within
the borough. Alcantra said he
! believed that the cost of selec-
ton, assessment and develop
ment would be so great that
the borough would be better
off to simply accept percent
age of revenues from state
lands. Cease, however, said
that once the borough gave up
these lands it would never get
them back, and that within five
to ten years they might be of
inestimable value to the Dor
ough.
Service areas in the borough
are not intended to be units
of local government, Cease
said. If an area has need for
a service not provided other
wise, its residents may vote to
establish one, and will he re-
sponsible for the cost of admin
istering it. He added that if an
area can afford to pay for sew
eral services, it would be bet
ter off to incorporate as city.
THE law did not intend for the
borough to be dotted with ser
vice areas he stated.
The local affairs agency d.
rector recommended waiting
until the borough's educational
system is set up before pro-
ceeding with the assumption of
planning and coming. He sug-
gested that in setting up plan
ming commission, some men,
bers from the city commission
be included to take advantage
Of their experience.

State Officials
Clarity Issues

Problems to be met in tax
ing over educational service n
the borough occupied much of
the discussion at an informal
meeting Of assemblymen n d
school beard members from the
District 7 borough last evening
in the Palmer high school cafe
terra.
Present at the meeting were
Ron Cease, director of the To-
ca affairs agency, and Robert
Isaac, assistant commissioner
of education, and Lee Hayes,
supervisor of the Anchorage
fIeld office, department Of ed
ueation.
Cease emphasized that steps
must be taken Immediately at
ter incorporation on Jan. l to
work out a program OF assess
ment for taxation purposes.
The state will continue to fund
state schools through the COM
ing fiscal year beginning July
|, 1864, but by September, 1864
the borough must have COM
piled some assessment figures
on which to base a budget fol-
the 1866 year 1t was stated
John Alcantra, aide to Gov
Egan, who Is in Palmer for tht
| farm session at the G n 6
hall, also joined the meeting
Alcantra said that the bureau
of land management has map
and data that will be usefel
in compiling assessment fig
ures.
Numerous matters of praeti-
cal concern were brought out
by school board members and
by r. C. Carter, Palmer indie
pendent School District super
intendent.
Contracting for teachers for
the coming year, the problem
of ordering textbooks, 1arla-
tions between state and PlSD
salaries, transitional insurance
coverage, disposition of mo-
bile schools such as the one at
Montana, and the responsible
itv for education of students
living in areas where there
are no schools were discussed.
Local officials were told that
the school board may contract
for teachers with borough APP
prevail; that paperwork on or
dering textbooks is already
progressing through teachers
in the state schools, and that
data is available in the Anch-
orage field office on past text
book orders; that the mobile
schools will be turned over to
the borough; and that the
borough is responsible for SUI
dents in remote areas.
Asked by Carter who Ia J.
dies policy matters during the
transitional neriod. Isaac said
that policy will be decided on
the local level; that the state
office will give any assistance
