Palmer visitors on Saturday of
last week on a routine check-up
Council members voted to re
quest military police assistance
in the city during week-ends this
summer to assist the city police
department. It was pointed out
that some military personnel,
under 21 years of age, have been
attempting to purchase liquor in
bars and council members hope
with the military assistance to
be able to better control the situ
ation. It was also reported that
“of age individuals have been
purchasing liquor which is being
consumed by “under age” indi
viduals in cars.

the visit of Fire Chief George
Burns of Anchorage and the sub
sequent visit of Lt. Stan Larson,

made an inspection of Swanson
School and the new high school;
♦:he hospital, and other spots in
the city. Inspection sheets for
churches, hospitals, homes,
schools and mercantile establish
ments have been received, Lan
caster stated. “It is our plan to
have a general city-wide inspec
tion of all business spots, and
possibly homes, around the lat
ter part of June. We are hoping
the business establishments will j
back us up in the inspection by
cleaning away all fire hazards j
from their property prior to the !
inspection,” Lancaster announc
ed. While in Palmer Lt. Larson
visited pupils of the third grade
and talked on fire prevention. He
reported fine response from the
pupils and Lancaster announced
projected plans for a poster con
test early this fall which will tie
in with Fire Prevention Week.
Under new business a discus
sion centered on whether or not
a local weekly entertainment
program was subject to the col
lection of sales tax. It was the
feeling of city council members
that as entertainment, it was sub
ject to the tax, the same as the
theatre or other similar enter
tainmen offered in Palmer. A
letter to this effect was author
