MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rales: One year, in advance $3-00 BUSINESS AND POLITICS re were happy in a selfish sort of way to see in the platforms of two of the local political parties planks which recognized the problem of the Orem business man. It is possible that political groups can do little to solve an Orem problem which is wound up in 'geography, in decisions which were made years ago, and in a pattern which was set up even before Orem aspired to become a business community. But it is true that business-wise, Orem needs first-aid of some kind. The number of businesses which hat come and gone and have changed hands during the past two or three ears while conditions generally were favorable is ample indication that the situation needs adjustment of tome kind. Making Orem a fatorabla business location is a big, Jong-term enterprise, and although it is primarily the responsibility of the businessman himself, the city's official family can do much to. foster the kind of promotion, promo-tion, planning and legislation which will build here during dur-ing the next few years a sound business identity. Recent cooperation between the city council and the Orem Chamber of Commerce in putting over the Highway High-way celebration, ia a step in the right direction. The chamber must lead the way, but a sympathetic city council can do much in setting the stage for the birth in Orem of a successful retaling area.

Adding telephones has involved the installation of a lot of equipment equip-ment in the Provo and Orem telephone buildings, as well as poles, wire and cable to connect telephones to that equipment. Over $445,000 has been spent since war ended for extension and improvement of telephone facilities in the Provo exchange. There are still hundreds of orders or-ders for service which we are unable to fill immediately; and many other orders for a higher grade of service. We want to add the equipment to take care of these needs, but we' must secure the capital required to make the necessary additions to our plant. This means that our earnings must be sufficient to provide a fair and regular return on investors' invest-ors' money. IHE MOUNTAIN STATES TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY |
