We’re for It!
The second petition for the incorporation of PcHmer
as a first class city to go before the judge of the Third
District Court within a period of less than six months
will soon come up for a hearing. We feel that for
Palmer to take its rightful place in the territory, that
petition must not be denied for a second time.
The Valley Frontiersman believes that Palmer has
a«great future and that within a few short years there
will be great changes made here. To keep pace with
the growth and change of the community, we believe
there is only one way to meet the ever-increasing de
mands and that is by the incorporation of Palmer.
It is the only feasible plan, as we see it, for ade
quate fire protection, police protection, and the one
hyjndred and one things necessary to make a progres
sive little city.
Incorporation will also enable Palmer to set up
zoning and building codes and to provide planning for
a city that one day will grace this area that only a short
15 years ago boasted but a few log cabins.
We've had our say now and we wish to reiterate
that anyone who would like to air his views on the
controversial subject is invited to do so through Letters
to the Editor.
