ments stated one garbarge pick

ient. Virgil Meehan, who is seek
ing a contract with the city, stat
ed that all pick-ups will be regu
lated by the demand, even daily
service will be available if desir
ed.
Garbage Collection
Following a lengthy discussion
in regards to the collection of
garbage in the City of Palmer
and the use of the City dump,
the following motion was approv
ed: That the chairman of the
Board of Health and/or Health
Officer, together with the City
Attorney draw up a five-year
contract with Virgil Meehan re
garding the collection of garbage
ip the City and the control and
upkeep of the dump in accord
ance to sanitary procedures ac
ceptable to the Department of
Health and that an ordinance in
corporating the control and up
keep of the city dump in said
sanitary condition be prepared
for a first reading April 10.
Council members pointed out
that for the past two years many
attempts have been made to ob
tain controlled care of the citya
dump. Hundreds of dollars are
spent annually to keep the en
trance to the dump open. Many
times only a few hours have
elapsed when the road was again
blocked by careless dumping, in
spite of signs erected at the en
i trance. Such a condition is un
avoidable at open dump, one
Council member pointed out. The
only way to control dumping is
1 to have a caretaker on the
grounds during specific hours of
the day.
Liquor Licenses
A motion to introduce an or
dinanee repealing Ordinance 58
> failed to pass by a vote of 3 to
1. Council member Lucille Mick,
who voted against the motion,
asked by motion that the Mayor
appoint a citizens' committee to
study the proposed change in the
control of the number of liquor
stores in. the city. The committee
would consist of a disinterested
business man, preferably from
the Chamber of Commerce, a re
presentative of the schools, a reis
dent from outside city limits who
resides near city limits, a repre
sentative of the court System, a
parent, and a church rcpresenta
Wilson to Resign—
(Continued from page 1)
that the Board acted in these two
cases only after receiving R.E.A.
approval. This was not the case.
Tihe first of these loans was voted
on April 25, 1955. The telegraphic
approval cime in late June. The
M E.A. check was issued between
those dates, or about May 2nd or
3rd. The other loan was voted
August 25, 1955, and approved by
R.E.A. on August 29, 1955, or
there about.
“I wish to make it clear that I
am not opposed to M.E.A. going
into the power generation busi
ness, but I believe you people
should be advised in advance of
any major change in the corpora
tion’s activities. I believe that any
organization operating wholly or
in part on M.E.A. funds should
make reports on the expenditure
of M.E.A. funds to the Board and
membership of M.E.A. This belief
is not necessarily shared by other
members of the Board. After con
siderable pressure I secured a
loan of a copy of Central Alaska
Power Association’s Articles of
Incorporation. These articles in
clude several references to by
laws. So far as I am able to learn,
C.AiP.A. has no bylaws, or at
least such bylaws have not been
approved by M.E.A. Board and I,
as a member, have not been given
a copy.
“Here then is an organization
which has taken $40,000 of M.E.A.
"money along with about $100,000
or another cooperative’s money
and spent it without bylaws and
without offering an accounting to
the Board of M,E.A. or to you. No
matter how much such an organ
ization is needed in Alaska, I can
time, to study the proposal and
present their recommendation to
the Council. Mrs. Mick’s motion
was approved unanimously. The
original motion would limit the
number of liquor store licenses
in the city to three, instead of
the present number of five. Ad
ditional licenses would be grant
ed according to population grow
th. Mrs. Mick pointed out that
it would be a simple matter for
a store to open just outside city
limits and thereby draw business !
out of the city. Control by the :
city poiic would not be possible.
During the past seven years no
complaints against liquor stores !
in Palmer have been made thro- i
ugh the Courts, she pointed out. ;
Unless there is a problem here. ;
I can’t see departing from present j
control without reason.
not be a willing party to such
management.
“I am not in agreement with
a majority of the Board on the
value received from the many
trips to the States paid for either
directly or indirectly by you.
“I am not in agreement with
other members of the Board who
voted themselves turkeys for
Christmas. I believe that a Christ
mas bonus of a turkey to employ
ees is a fine showing of apprecia
tion to a very loyal and hard
working staff. We, as Board mem
bers, agreed to work without
compensation. I have accepted
that at face value—no compensa
tion is free trips to the States,
no free trukeys as well as no
cash compensation.
“I have no objections to you
members donating through M.E.A.
to the operation of the Chugiak
and Wasilla schools if you vote
to do so. I felt that the Board had
no right to dispose of your money
that way, no matter how worthy
the cause. Attempting to vote this
money in the guise of ‘in lieu of
taxes’ while paying School Dis
was somewhat less than consist
ent. The two areas in question
pay no property tax. The amount
was arbitrary and had no relation
to the amount of real property
owned by M.E.A. in these areas
'These axe some of the things
upon which I can’t go along
with some of the other members
of the Board. I may be wrong on
all these points. I am sinoere in
my beliefs and have tried to be
objective in my thinking.
“When we consider that the
Matanuska Valley is less than
50% developed agriculturally, I
can not believe we should be
spending your money, so badly
needed to develope your farms,
to fight the power battle in the
States or on the Kenai Peninsula
Fourteen mill power far Homer
but we have more 11 mill power
than we can use at present. We
need to look for new power sup
plies but to do us any good it
must be less than eleven mills
