Fire Rating Men
Make Valley Visit
Earl Short and Don Lee, mem
bers of the Pacific Fire Rating
Palmer Wednesday, surveying
business establishments and
Bureau of San Francisco were in
studying existing fire insurance
rates in the Valley
Basic rates, Short announced,
are established from classifica
tion set up by the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific as
well as occupancy and construc
tion. with classifications running
from the theoretically perfect
Class 1 through Class 10—an un
protected city having no fire
fighting facilities.
With Palmer in Class 7, Short
said they believed the equipment
and facilities available are good,
for this size town. Several re
quirements for Class 6 can be met
by the Palmer Fire Department
now, but additional hydrants and
mains would be necessary for a
change to that classification.
Short and Lee will be located
at the Westward Hotel in Anch
orage for the next week or ten
days, they said, and have expres
sed their willingness to answer
any questions or discuss insur
ance problems with Valley per
sons during their stay in the area.
It is hoped that the final plans
can be submitted to APW within
a few weeks so that the advertise
ment for bids on construction of
the new school will appear in
September. *

LAKE GEORGE
BUILDING UP FOR
ANNUAL LET-DOWN
Lake George should start its
annual self-dumping process
shortly after this week end, ac
cording to a report brought back
by Bob Buzby this week.
Buzby flew his float plane over
to the lake Monday to pick up
Don Ostland, who has been taking
some pictures of the lake build
up.
According to Mrs. Clara Buzby,
who took the ride with her broth
er-in-law, the lake is building up
a terrific pressure with the recent
rainfall and the steady run-off
from the glaciers that feed it.
Huge ice bergs are swirling
around in the lake waters, which
had risen at least a foot in the
two-day period between Saturday
and Monday.
Last year the break-.up started
Tuesday, July 24. It was the
earliest break-up recorded in the
preceding ten years.
