INCORPORATION—
(Continued from Page 1)
Ward, Frank Brown and A1 j
Hagen.
At the meeting Wednesday a
committee of five representing !
the water users of Palmer was in- j
vited to give a report on findings j
on their study of the critical wa- :
ter shortage in Palmer, made in :
iconjunction with the Matanuska ;
Valley Farmers Cooperating As
sociation.
Members of that committee are I
Dr. Allan Mick, A1 Hagen. Matt
Perkins, Ralph Moore and James
Hurley, appointed at a special j
meeting of the Health Council on i
November 22. In addition to those
mentioned, others in attendance
at the joint meeting Wednesday
of this week were William Head,
"Walt Cooper, Lloyd Severns, all
of Palmer. Ray F. James, head of
.the James Construction Company
of Seward, who is now building
25 houses here, was also in at
tendance. Mr. James was invited
‘by the local businessmen as rep
resenting outside capital inter
ested in coming to Palmer.
This is the second time with
in the past few months that a
move has been started here for
incorporation of Palmer as a
city. The first petition was de
nied September 29 in Third
District Court by Judge An
thony Dimond. He based his
denial on three counts: First, ,
that the area to be incorpor- j
aled includes a considerable
portion of farm land; Second, i
applicants presenting the peti
' icn failed to accompany it
with any financial statement to
show that sufficient funds could I
be raised to maintain a city;
Third, the application of peti
-tioners was not verified and al
though this is not required by
law, it is believed to be neces
sary.
The present attempt at incor
poration has grown out of several
meetings here resulting from the
realization by the community that
the MVFCA does not have a suf
ficient surplus water supply for
the needs of the water users at i
!this time and that there is a criti- j
cal water shortage here. Under j
!ihe law the Co-Op would not be j
-.able ‘to supply the community j
avifh water as a private enter- j
prise. To do so would endanger:
its Status as a Co-Op organiza-1
tion. Dong hours of discussion j
have been spent by several groups j
in trying to work out a feasible ;
plan for the continued life and i
prosperity of the community, both
for temporary relief and from a
long range point of view.
“It is the earnest belief of the
group of local businessmen, who
have taken the matter under
serious advisement, that the only
answer to the problem is incor
poration,” the spokesman for the
steering committee stated.

Mr. and Mrs. James W. Wilson!

Valley Farmers Cooperating As- j
.sociation here.
