Palmer Seeks To
Be Incorporated
ANCHORAGE, (/P) — Palmer
residents have made a second bid
to have the Matanuska Valley
town incorporated.
The petition filed in federal
court bore 223 signatures. A hear
ing was set for Feb. 16.
A previous petition, signed by
113 residents, was denied by judge
Anthony J. Dimond last Sept. 29
after a court hearing.
The petition carried a financial
statement listed estimated reven
ues and expenditures — both at
$4fi,7?so. One of the grounds for the
previous denial was that the ap
plicants failed to show “sufficient
funds can be found to maintain
such a city ”
Revisions also weer made in the
farm lands to be included. That
had been another basis of court
criticism.
The petitioners say the already
pressing need for city government
services will increase when work
starts on the Eklutna power pro
ject.

Use of non-premium fuel is only one of the reasons why
Caterpillar Diesel Engines save money in sawmills and
on other industrial jobs. They’re economical to install
because they’re compact and adaptable. The D397 pictured
delivers 500 h.p. maximum at either end, with your choice of
rotation, and has 6 auxiliary drives. Precision-built fuel in
jection system requires no adjustment. Thorough fuel filtering,
efficient lubrication, and the part-by-part sturdiness of Cater
pillar construction mean long life, low maintenance cost. For
j helpful information on the application of CaterpUlar Diesels
to your power problem, talk with any “NCCo.” machinery man.
