Sy payments that often cover
'medical-surgical bills of hundreds?
of dollars—no question of post
poning necessary surgery, or car

COUNCIL NOTES
(Continued from page 11
Council voted $300 to the Palmer
Library, to be used in the same
method as money formerly ob
tained through memberships was
used. To conform with new regu
lations making federal money
available for libraries, the local
library was obliged to go into
the free library phase and as a
result have lost the operating
funds formerly obtained through
annual memberships. The $300
would be applied to the library’s
fiscal year from July, 1957 to
June, 1958.
The report from the election
Hoard was read and the vote of
October 1 canvassed by the Coun
cil and found to be in proper or
der; declaring Kenneth Lynn as
mayor, and Bertram Duff and
Sam Cotten as members of the
City Council. The canvass show
ed the proposition of the city
manager form of government fail
ed to pass.
Following a report from Mayor
Wilson, City Attorney John Shaw
administered the oath of office
to Councilors Duff and Cotten
and then to Mayor Kenneth
Lynn, following which a five
minute recess was declared dur
ing which time the new city offi
cials took their seats.
Business conducted by the new
Council and Mayor included the
discussion of the present taxi or
dinance. A question was brought
before the Council regarding a
lower rate for a half-year license.
The city business license ordin
ance makes no provision for split
license fees. It was pointed out
that liie taxi ordinance was set'
up to offer protection to those
persons already in the taxi busi
ness. The license fee is $100 for
the first year, plus $10 for the
operator’s fee. The second, and
subsequent years, the rate is re
duced to $25 for each cab, plus a
$5 operator fee. It was pointed
out that this license method pro
tects the regular operators from
fly-by-night operators who might
come into the city and set up for
.special events, such as during the
Pair and Colony Day celebrations.
No change in the ordinance was
recommended.
Authorization was given the
city clerk to set up a special fund
in the Matanuska Valley Bank
as the “Palmer 1957 general ob
ligation street improvement bond
redemption fund”.
Authorization was given for
the annual audit which will be
done by the Anchorage firm of
Kinoaid and Hedla.
It was voted to withhold final
payment to the engineer firm of
Johnson, Rutlidge and Tryck un
til copies of notes from the sew
er survey are made available to
the City.
Because the City has experi
enced a loss in revenue from ren
tal Units where the tenant has
moved without paying the water
bill, if was voted that a deposit
be required from all new ac
counts at the rate of $10 per resi
dence and $25 per business es
tablishment. Persons running de
linquent accounts will be with
out water if bills are not kept
current. It was pointed out that
the water system payments c!*n
not be met if accounts are ncn
paid by the water users.
Mayor Lynn announced that he
will make committee appoint
ments at the next regular meet
ing of the Council (October 15).
City employees holding appoint
ed. positions were designated to
be on a temporary appointment
basis which include Bernard Bou
wens, police; Ted Buzby, water
department; Russ Felzien street
