The petition states that Mr. Sowards has not complied with the ordinance, thus preventing prevent-ing Mr. Wagstaff from obtaining a building permit. The Council uuuuuteu nugu Vern wentz, city attorney to write Mr. Sowards a letter informing in-forming him that unless he lives up to Ordinance number 75 within ten days on the Lamero Tract the city would take court acion to force him to do so. A leter was read to the council coun-cil by Mayor J. W.

The council agreed to wait for a reply to such a letter before be-fore pasing a resolution. A letter was read from the Orem Chamber of Commerce concerning the garbage disposal problem in the city. The Chamber Cham-ber suggested that the city take over the garbage collection eith er directly or by contract, and require all business houses to dispose of their garbage through this channel.

S. 91 in Orem were meeting this week with the county commission and County Assessor J. Austin Cope in an effort to adjust increased in-creased property valuation assessments ass-essments made this year. In two closed meetings held Monday and Wednesday at the Provo city and county building adjustments were discussed which would bring this year's assessments more in line with those levied in previous years. Due to the opening of U.S. 91 through Orem to business much of the improved property along the highway has increased increas-ed somewhat in value, but there are still large sections along the highway which are still used as farming land. It is felt by property prop-erty owners that the increase in valuation for taxation purposes pur-poses has in most cases been out of proportion to the actual cash and productive value of the land.
