OLD HOSPITAL BUILDING SOLD
The old hospital building has
been sold. A cheek for $1000 was
recently received by the Hospital
Association from Seth Cook suc
cessful bidder. The money’ will
be used to pay off bonds, as di
rected by the membership three
years ago. Although it was ear
lier hoped a greater amount of
money could be obtained from
the sale of the building, it be
came evident after a series of bid
calls that the structure just was
not going to bring in a sizeable
amount of money. The building
is to be moved and the land will
be levelled and landscaped at a
later date, when and if some
“public-spirited” citizen volun
teers to fill the excavation.

Planning Commission
'Makes Recommendations
To City Council
Members of the City Planning
Commission recently made sev
eral recommendations to the
City of Palmer. Although the
City Council has not yet taken
any official action on them, some
of the recommendations were al
ready in effect and do follow
quite closely the Commission’s
own suggestions.
Among recommendations was
that the City Council contact
proper authorities to have no
passing lanes painted on the
Glenn highway from city limits
to city limits; that the Council
consider the possibility of hiring
a city administrator or city man
ager when the present city
! clerk’s resignation becomes ef
j fective. The office would coor
dinate all city activities and
! make one person responsible for
j competent operation of city ad
i ministration and utility func
i tions, thus relieving various city
councilmcn from bothersome de
! tails.
j They recommended that since |
the city has annexed the high
I school area south of the city
! that the city construct and main
tain a walkway on the east side
of Springer road for the use of
| pupils walking to and from high
school; that “Speed Zone Ahead’’
signs about one quarter of a mile
outside city limits on all high
ways be installed; that the Coun
: cil investigate the possibility of
j assessing all property owners
i with property adjacent to streets
| being paved, in the amount of
; two-thirds of the cost of the
J paving, the other one third to
! be borne by the city; that the
1 city study the problem of a sew
er system before any additional
street paving is considered; that
the fire chief be responsible for
thorough weekly inspection of all
fire fighting equipment and that
a city employee be made respon
sible for daily checks of the fire
trucks; and in their report the
Commission commended the
City Council for the fine job the
