Olympus Council Constitution Aired An old-fashion- ed town meeting hammered out a constitution for the Olympus Community at a three hour meeting Tuesday night at the Olympus High School auditorium. Mr. Eugene B. Duffin was tempor-ary chairman and was assisted by C. Nelson Day( writer, of the doc-umen- tf who acted as parliamen-tarian for the 400 Olympians in attendance. The constitution was discussed article by article with everyone present, who wanted to( allowed to speak. About 75 people ex-pressed their opinions. Such op-position as there was faded as the discussion continued the final vote being about 10 to one in favor of the new organization. The voting permits the establish-ment of a voluntary civic organi-zation with a nine man council to head up the community under which will work nine standing committees: community improve-ment, schools and education, health and welfare, recreation, public safety, planning and zoning, legislative, commerce and business, and publicity and public relations. During, the lirst full week of April nominations will be 'made for officers with an election following in May. Five officers will be elected for two years and four for one year and thereafter elections will be for two year terms thus making it possible for hold-ov- er positions at each election. Once again it was emphasized that it was not the intent of the council to push for tax increases and the position of the group toward the new metropolitan movement is neutral. The Cottonwood Heights Com-munity Council again expresses its desire to cooperate with the Olympus Community on projects of mutual interest.
