tlreds of unfortunate people will
arrive in Anchorage in March.
Plans for their care must now be
formulated and each of us should
feel a sense of responsibility to
this purpose.
Mrs. Brown had made a pre
vious visit to Palmer last week
•at which time she talked with
U. S. Commissioner Dorothy Sax
ton and to Jim Hurley ARRC
manager. Mrs. Brown expressed
tier gratitude to them for their
active interest in the problem.
The immediate action that is
toeing taken is a survey to deter
mine how many area residents
would welcome these refugees in
their homes. A questionnaire has
been mailed to the farmers of the
ar ea by the Experiment Station.
Information is being sought on
toc-w many of these refugees might
toe welcomed in the valley. Vol
unteers are being sought to house
at d feed them for their first three

Other business conducted at
the January 16 meeting included
a brief report by Ralph Farns
worth, president of the local Air
mens’ Association who appeared
before the Legislative Council in
Anchorage last week. Farnsworth
told Chamber members that he
spoke in opposition to the lack of
maintenance on airports, not only
in Palmer, but throughout Alas
ka. “It appears that only those
fields serving carriers are getting
maintenance. Any other money
available is being spent on the
construction of new airports. No
money is being spent on fields
such as is located in Palmer. “We
contribute a sizeable amount of
money through the gas tax but
none of it comes back in main
tenance. The time is right, I be
lieve, to see that this money is
more generally distributed. The
Legislative Council desires a .pro
gram be sent that will satisfy the
needs and desires of the people.
The Airmens’ Association are pre
paring such a program at this
time,” Farnsworth said, “and
wthin another week we hope to
have the material prepared.”
Dr. C. C. Bailey reported that
the steering committee on the
Mental Health hospital incurred j
about $200 expenses in preparing
and distributng the booklet on
why the mental health hospital
should be located in the Matan
uska Valley. How the Chamber
will participate in helping with
these costs will be discussed at
the January 22 meeting.
L. C. Stock, Palmer city clerk,
was a guest at the meeting, and
along with City Attorney John
Shaw outlined the paving pro
gram and bonding requirements
which are reported elsewhere in
this week’s issue of The Front
iersman.
the refugees will be willing to
work for their room and board.
Mrs. Brown said that a num
ber of agencies are working on
the Hungarian refugee project, in
cluding American - Hungarian
Foundation, Church World Ser
vice, Catholic Relief Service,
Hungarian League of America,
Inc., Lutheran Refugee Service,
and others.

cost would be much less than if it
is done as a separate project at
a later date. The city wpuld also
like to extend this paving down
Central street at the same time.
The Bureau of Public Roads
plans to call for bids for their
paving project in early Febru
ary If the ctiy’s paving is to be
included in this bid call, the bond
election must pass and property
owners desiring paving along
their property must submit a pe
tition to the Council so indicat
ing. NO PAVING WILL BE
DOME WITHOUT THESE PETI
TIONS, even if the bond election
does pass. Two petitions have
been submitted to date.
City Attorney John Shaw re
ported tht the bonding companies
are becoming more and more
! strict with their requirements and
that it is no longer a simple thing
to go out and sell city bonds. He
pointed out that money ear-mark
ed for street improvements must
be used for that alone.
Mayor Wilson pointed out re
cently that the paving will not
increase the tax rate. Last June
the city tax rate was raised to
provide three mills’ for perman
ent street improvements. This ear
marked money is what will be
used for the city share in the pav
ing cost and thusly no increase
will be needed. Two-thirds of the
paving costs will be paid by the
property owner over a period of
10 years.
A city physician pointed out at
the Chamber meeting that paving
the most heavily traveled section
of the city will be of great bene
fit to the health of the residents.
It also, he pointed out, will be far
more inviting to tourists than the
clout of dust that generally hangs
over the city.
It is hoped that every voter, for
or against the proposals, will at
tend the meeting tonight, and
turn out on Tuesday and vote.
Polls will open at 8 a.m. Janu
ary 22 in the Co-Op club room
and remain open until 7 p.m.
Mr. and Mrs. Rex Ehrhart and
son Jimmy are leaving for the
States on Sunday. The Ehrharts,
who operate Thrifty Variety in
Palmer, are going out on a buy
ing trip.
