The burglars apparently were in search of money and in the process, pulled open a file cabinet drawer containing the deed books. Candiates for Brigham City week reached council last across party lines to agree on such Issues as higher pay for the city police force and eventual solution of the stock trail problem. exStage for the mutual-viepressions was Bunderson Ele. school where the mentary League of Women Voters and a Meet Jaycees sponsored Your Candidates meeting. More than 100 interested citizens turned out for the event Thursday evening which was generally termed smoothly sue. cessful. On the spot for questioning were Republican candidates Robert E. Keating, Rudolph M. and William Clair Kaiser Demo banner and Knudson, Bill bearers Geo. Wm. Davis, Edward J. Heesacker and Norwood Hyer. The six each gave answers to five pre. submitted questions and then were targets for a volley of inquiries from the audience. Here in capsule form are views expressed by each candl. date as they appeared on the program: DAVIS e Sees a need for planning Including county zoning also for storm sewers which he described as an immediate need, and for a written city policy, and a set of minimum standards for public utilities and special Improvements. If you want a good man, you must pay him accordingly is Davis view on the police On initiating a department. sanitary landfill disposal sys-terhe said that although specialists recommend it, there will nevertheless need to be a ternfflc educational Job done to convince local citizens.

He feels completion of high school should be a min. imum education for police of some help offered to construct buildings. HEESACKER Said he would like to see come new into business Brigham City which has become town. Where san. a itary landfill is concerned, he feels that investigation should also be made into other sys. terns of disposal. He said he would favor routing the stock trail around Brigham City if it can be done at a reasonable y cost. smaller Although towns cant afford to pay a lot, he said the salaries paid policemen should be equitable. Heesacker described streets lights, better streets, sidewalks, and a need to relieve Main street of heavy truck traffic as problems that should receive thorough study.

He suggested that perhaps a rec. reation director be hired to get more from present facilities. He said he did not favor Sun. day beer sales. Answering a question about reported friction between the county sheriffs office and city police department, Heesacker said he would not advise com. billing the two departments at present, adding that urging them to work more closely together I dont is the end solution. feel we have a serious pro. blem right now, he explained. He said keeping a low tax such as present, and rate, having adequate water and other facilities and advertising on a broader scale are means of attracting new industry. KEATING favors Definitely THE BUILDING was insured and both it and the labor necessary to restore the records are being paid by the insur. ance company, the superinten. dent said.

The loss of records could have been much more serious, Kelly pointed out. ob-tai- n HAD THE CULPRITS been able open two other drawers In the cabinet where records were kept, it would have been a much greater loss to us, he said. The large master file book that contains all of the burials in the cemetery was not harmed. From this book we will be able to replace all of the 1,200 lot cards. The six deed books lost will not be replaced but we do have a listing of all property owners and the number of their lots,1' he said. The superintendent noted it was never the practice to keep money at the cemetery office although the burglars probably were looking for money. KELLY PAID TRIBUTE to the quick and efficient action of the cty volunteer fire department for the way they handled our loss. Kelly said the large master file record book was micro, filmed In 1961.
