the borough law the Local Affairs Agency is obligated to review the petition to establish that it is in proper form and that it carries t h required number of signatures. If it is not in proper form, it should be returned to the committee for correction or to add sigma lures. Since the Matanuska- Susitna petition was not re- turned, the assumption is that it was correct in all aspects, and that the Local Affairs Agency is therefore required by law to accept it for investigation to determine whether or not 1t meets the standards for bor ough incorporation.

YEAR.R0UND RAGE TRACK USE OUTLINED

Three major sports car races a year and three major drag races a year (not counting club events) would probably be run on the projected race track and drag strip on the Palmer Drag way, Sports, and Recreation Center site south of the city, William Woodward of the AL aska Sports Car Association said this week.
 He also suggested the addi- ton of NASCAR events, races in which the vehicles entered are popular late model passen- ger sedans, with no class diff erentials. These would be en- durance races, 150 to 200 miles in length. The series of races would keep the track in use the year round, he pointed out.
 Woodward said that if per- mission is granted to run races on the Palmer streets in Au- gust, Lotus Super-7 will probably be entered, which he described as a very low-slung, four cylinder, 95 HIP sports car weighing only 400 pounds. This little vehicle can compete with Jaguars and Corvettes at speeds of over 100 miles p e T hour, he stated.
