fhe railroad takes in approxi
mately 38 acres; the cemetery,
five; five acres set aside for
garbage disposal; the airport

grounds, 20; and seven acres
for schools. The area may be

nied in September by Judge An
thony Dimond.
' Opposition today is expected
from the Matanuska Valley Farm
ers Cooperating Association with
the Co-Op seeking to have its
properties excluded from the in
corporation area. According to
Carl Rasmussen, Co-Op manager,
the Co-Op does not oppose incor
poration but as Co-Op needs are
served by the organization’s own
utilities, it is not felt that there
is a need for Palmer to become
incorporated as a city.
