STARTS PLANNING FOR INCORPORATION Cont

and stated that he had joined the C. 6f C.'
because he felt that some central Organi
zation in Palmer must be at the head. He
felt that no'Other organization in Palmer
was better qualified to do this than the
Chamber of Commerce; therefore, he had
joined because it was heading toward some
central control.
Dr.R.E. Garrett followed up with a few
pointed remarks on Fire Protection for
Hospitals. Fires in Hospitals are frequen
he said due to so much inflamable material
and carelessness on the part of some of
the patients in cases of smoking in bed
and falling asleep. This hospital is in
particular danger because of the fact that
only one nurse is on duty and it is hard
for her tb be everyY.bere to check up at
all times. He felt that the responsibili
ty lay with the Chamber of Commerce and
therefore moved that the Chamber handle
the hiring of a Chief.
A1 Hagen also brought up the housing of tb
pumper this winter—which he said is now
railroad property. He also said that a
truck is'now available from the Surplus
Property.
ibllweing this the Chamber took a vote in
favor of shouldering the responsibility of
hiring the Fire Chief.
After the questions of the'Firb Hall and
the Fire Chief v:as settled, Mr, Haze took
the floor to explain what the Committee on
Incorporation had planned so far. Mr. 7Tim
mer had been added to the Committee as
they were afraid North Palmer might incor
porate by themselves and we wanted to keep
together.
The first thing needed, Hr. Maze pointed
out, war a map of the area under discussion
He called on Mr. Deitiing to find out -hat
maps '-ere available. Mr, Deming said that
he had'tracings of surveys made by Alonso
Curtis, fomer Engineer and surveyor for
the'ARRC, that he might get permission to
use, and that there were other tmrveys
which he felt we might buy. Mr. Allyn
said that some information'was’available
from the Co-op and the A..R.R.C.
Other problems considered by the Ceimittee
were the location of th9 Fire Hall, the'
taking of a census of the proposed town,
and obtaining legal advice, He must also
in making our plans decide on a certain'
size that the town or city might attain.
The fir lire of 4000 might be used as that
was used by the ARRC and Co-op in laying
the -iew Sewer line.
In order to work out plans in more detail,
a number of members were asked to serve on
sub-committees as follows:
Hospital District-Rev. falter Zeile.Police'

Other needs of the proposed town of Palmer

T7e must decide on districts, type of Cor
poration and the type of Management such
as City Manager plan, Mayor or same other.
It was announced that Trimmer’s Civic Class
wou 1d be visiting the Chamber of Commorce
some of these days,
AL Hagen pointed out that we need to make
more definite plans before any more dam-'
age is done in*the way of narrow streets,
small or no alleys at all etc. At tho pre
sent time we have streets from 30 to 40
feet in width and running different direc
tions. Alloys he said vary from 20 ft;
10 ft. dorm to no alleys at all. They
also have no definite direction. He
thought that the main streets -should run
Ohst’-anddwest because of the wind. "Tith
those last suggestions, the meeting ad
journed.
