"1*1:1 not worried about it anymore"
s aid I;ir . Frank," I * Vo d one all i
can to bring this to the Govern
ment officials attention. Go far
nothing .has boon done, but if I
have to move along with the other
residents, it will be far from
solving the pro1 loin. If something
isn’t done this fall I venture to
s-ay that having viewed'the situ
ation from the jtoint of trouble
and not from the depot platfron,
the Alaska Railroad stands to bo
the loser. Just wait until freeze
up and tons of ice one! miter
block the small bridges in the al
ready newly formed channel,"
Residents of batonuska also wont
<on record as denouncing Mr.Taylor's
plan of raising the road grade.
They fear this would further
dam the town,
"’Me arc a loyal group of American
citizens here in Jflatanuska ",
said one old settler, "and we
don't want sympathy, if nothing
can be done, well just tell us so,
we're not hard to get along with."
Since talking, to tho residents
of Matanuska, wo have learned
from a reliable source that tho
officials concerned in this natter
. have stated that construction of
a dilfe or re-enf or cement of some
sort will be started just as soon
as the fleer' waters recede suf
ficiently to allow work to bo done.
The residents of Matanuska have
a real and vital problem to con
front under the present situation.
Their demands are sincere and the
safty of their homes is at stake.

WATER LINE NEARING
COMPLETION
A recent report on the water line
appears very favorable for early
completion. Many difficulties
have been overcome in the construc
tion of this new water supply
for the Civic Center at Palmer.
Bringing water from the old Brazil
place required digging a ditch
about four miles long through
hard rock, gravel'and dirt, in
sunshine and rain, then laying a
large pipe line to carry the water
supply. This ditch and pipe line
has progressed to within less than
4000 feet of its destination.
Barring unforsocn difficulties the
pipe line is expected to be ready
to carry water by Sept. 15
