Council Notes—
(Continued from page 1)
Dr. C. C. Bailey who proposed
to council members that recom- ;
rnendations of the commission be ;
followed in oilirg widely-used j
streets in the city. The specific j
streets named in the commis- j
sion’s recommendation are pri- !
marily in the business district of .
the city. Several property own
ers have indicated a willingness
to help offset the costs of such
oiling, they reported.
An Anchorage firm has indi
cated they have the equipment
needed to do adequate road oil
ing and would be willing to come
to Palmer to do the work. Fol
lowing the discussion Dr. Bailey
was authorized to further negot
iations for the oiling of city
streets, not to exceed SI500.

Russell Felzien was authorized
to look into the purchase of a {
cat. It was poitned out that it is
costing the city too much money j
to continue hiring equipment to
take care of the fill at the city
dump. Council members opinion
ed that if a cat with a loading
scoop could be found within the
city’s means, it would save the
1111 Illg
equipment for that type work.
