Paving Questions— * i

plan. This applies to two-thirds
of the cost. One third of the cost
is paid by the City from the pro
perty tax which was started last
July.
Will the paving be torn up to
install a sewer system?
It is not planned to pave any
street where sewer lines are plan
ned until after the sewer lines are
installed. It is possible to install
strip paving on such streets by
keeping off center, away from
the planned sewer line.
Who can vote in the bond elec
tion?
The law allows voting on bond
elections on the basis of the last
equalized assessment roll. If
pour name appears on the last
equalized assessment roll you
are entitled to vote at the bond
election. If your property is held
in joint ownership with husband
or wife you are both entitled
to vote but it is your responsibil
ity to make sure that your names
jure both on the roll.
What will be the cost to each
owner along the street to be pav
ed?
The exact cost per lot will not
be known until a contract is let
and the unit costs are known.
From paving costs in other areas
in recent years we estimate that
He cost per 50-foot lot to the
p; operty owner will not exceed
$600 in the area where the Bur
eau of Public Roads will pay for
24-foot strip. This would in
crease the paved width from 24
sfiet to 57 feet and include con
crete curbing. On less heavily tra
veled streets where off-pavement
parking is a minor element, strip
paving will cost somewhat less.
This cost to the property owner
/its in addition to the one third to
4»e paid for by the City. Pave
anoent may be paid in one pay
jment or in 10 equal installments
- amd billed along with tax billings.
* Why .:i$ this bond election being
img ^held so soon after it failed
to pass last October?
At the October election less
than 20 percent of the eligible
voters expressed themselves. Of
Ifoose who did vote, more than
*me half voted for the bond issue
tmt not enough to meet legal
requirements. This means that
- fless than 10 percent indicated op
position. It was the opinion of
U. S. Among Last to
Welcome New Year
The United States, accustomed
to being a world leader in many
things, will always be an also-ran
to Father Time until—and unless
—something is done to change our
present method of counting the
days, hours and years.
Father time serves up the New
Year to Australia, Asia, Africa,
Europe and most of South Ameri
ca before he gets around to the
first of our citizens in Maine. He
then takes three more hours to
give Californians a bright New
Year, and it’s two hours after that
that residents of Alaska get their
first look at 1957.
When the year 1957 is born, near
Wellington, New Zealand, it will*
be 7 a.m. December 31, in New
York City (EST), Three hours
later the New Year will arrive in
Yokahama, Japan, and in two
more hours it will have reached
Bankok.
When the roar of the crowds
welcomes 1957 along Times Square
in New York City, the New Year
will be eight hours old in Moscow,
six hours old in Paris; three hours
old in London and two hours old in
Buenos Aires,
COLUMBUS WAS FIRST
Christopher Columbus was prob
ably the first white man to cele
brate New Year’s day in the
western hemisphere.
While his ships were being re
paired on January 1, 1493, Colum
bus enjoyed a sumptuous dinner
with two savage monarchs on the
island of Haiti.
After his meal, historians say,
the discoverer of America had his
first smoke of tobacco.

about a month’s time. He report
ed wild shooting into the cari
bou herds by hunters and agreed
with a sportsman who repoted
having seen wild shooting along
the Denali highway. Appoximate
ly 3500 caribou were taken dur
ing the season he said—500 less
than in 1955. He reported this
kill is not too heavy for the size
of the herd, counted at 40,000
last year. He reported about 12,
000 calves, are born each year,
Larson stated that the sportsmen
must take a responsibility to edu
cate the hunters to be good
sportsmen. He reported that few
er violations have been observ
ed since the shooting area was
set at 100 feet from the road than
when it was one-quarter of a mile
from the road.
It was reported this afternoon
that a group of valley sportsmen
witl request the Alaska Game
Commission to schedule a date
for another game hearing in the
Matanuska Valley area (Palmer).
Because of previous committ
ments Fish and Wildlife officials
will not be available for another
meeting until after January 23.,
The definite date for the new
meeting will be publicized in suf-!
ficient time for all area residents
to be informed of the meeting.
The January 2 meeting was not
scheduled early enough to fully
publicize the meeting and a num
ber of valley residents, interest
ed in the game rules of Alaska,
were not aware of the meeting.
Roger Allen reported on an ex
perimental plant of fish eggs and
fry in Lake Louise and stated
that no conclusive tests have yet
been made on survival.
The FWS group will hold a
similar hearing in Wasilla to
night and in other sections of
the division through the month.
the majority of the City Coun
cil that the points at issue were
not well understood and that
more publiciy was needed. For
these reasons the question is
again being presented for the
consideration of the voters.
“It is important to this town
that it’s people indicate to the
City Council what they want. As
Mayor. I urge that every eligible
voter go to the polling place and
say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to this proposi
tion.”
