wind storms liable for many.
City fire fighters were called
aut on a number of fires this
week, the first at the farm of

a pile of manure had caught fire
-near the bam. The fire was ex
tinguished without damage to the
harm buildings. Early Tuesday
morning the volunteers answer
ed a call to the Gordon Nelson
home where a sofa fire was
quickly dispatched. The fire was
started by a cigarette, apparent
ly knocked off an ash tray when
Officer Nelson was called out on
<a robbery report. Nelson expresS
ted his appreciation to the Palmer
Sire fighters for their fast action.
Another call at 5:30 a.m. sent
ifiremen to the Butte area where
.hot cinders had started a.fire in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Xundin. Also answering this fire
call was the recently reorganized
XSutte volunteer fire department.
-Although the fire appeared to be
•out, a second call to Palmer at
$ a.m. sent the trucks out but a

mately 80 acres of land to be
used by the city as sanitary fill.
Dog control in the city again
came up for discussion. Mayor
Wilson pointed out that City Or
dinance No. 14 provides for the
punishment of dog owners who
do not comply with the city re
quirements regarding the re
straint of dogs by their owners,
and suggested that persons being
pestered, molested, or otherwise
disturbed by dogs may sign a
complaint against the dog owner
and that a misdemeanor charge
will result for the owner. Very
few dog licenses have been pur
chased in the city this year, L. C.

dogs come under the jurisdiction

Seeks Bus Line Support
Ernie Roe, representing the
Northern Carriers, Inc., was a
guest at the meeting and request
ed the assistance of all business
persons in the valley in making
the continuation of bus service
possible between Palmer and An
chorage. Roe told Chamber mem
bers that passenger loads will not
support the business. “We must
have freight or we can’t continue
our operations in and out of the
valley area”. He reported the pas
senger fares have averaged only
$7.00 a day the past three months.
Because this is a smaller com
munity, where everyone knows
one another, I don’t believe we
can increase the passenger load,
he said.
Starting Friday of this week
Dave Sweeney, rural mail car
rier, will drive the Palmer bus 1
and a new schedule has been set
up with two trips a day in and
out of the area. The first bus
leaves the Matanuska Hotel at
5:45 a.m. and the second leaves
Bert's Drug Store at 1:00 p.m.
The morning bus arrives back in
Palmer at 10:30 a.m. and goes
out to Wasilla, leaving there at
11:30 for Palmer. The afternoon
bus will arrive in Anchorage at
2:30 and return at 4:30 p.m., ar
riving in Palmer at 6:00. The bus
leaves Anchorage from the depot
located opposite from the Denali
theatre.
Roe stated that the bus will
carry freight small or large and
stated on the Seward run they
are carrying from five to 300
pound packages. He suggested
that business firms in Palmer
and Wasilla, as well as house
wives, may have packages ship
ped either way at one cent a
pound, minimum of 79 cents.
During the summer months
Northern Carriers are planning
tours throughout the valley areas
and buses are available for
special excursions he reported.
Another guest at the meeting
was Mrs. Sally Gorsuch, Alaska
representative of the Kellogg
Switchboard firm of Chicago, Il
linois.
