Thus did Gen. John A. Logan, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic close his order initiating the first Memorial Day in 1868. The first order for the observance of Memorial Day was issued by Gen. Logan for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in the defense of their country. For about 50 years after the civil war, the Grand Army of the Republic in the North and the Confederate veterans in the South took charge of Memorial Day in their respective communities. When these founding organizations became unable to carry on actively these rites, other veterans organizations pledged to help perpetuate the annual observance of Memorial Dav. Although it began as a day to commemorate the C'vil War dead, Memorial Day has since become an aopropriate occasion to honor the dead of all wars and the graves of family and friends. No one can av how much the character of America has been molded and will continue to be shaped by childhood memories of Memorial Day parades to the shrine of our hero dead. Throuh the reverence paid them, new generations will be dedicated to the same hiph principles of patriotism which veterans organisations attempt to meet.. What a wonderful event it would be to see our American fla disnlaved by every home and business firm in Rov. We would be the most beautiful city in the world. stated Commander Keith Gwilliam, and members of American Legion Post 139, of Roy.

Mayor Kenneth Stewart reported, at present, the city owes approximately 70,000 and has been operating at a deficiency for nearly 10 years. He explained that the cKy had borrowed $49,000 last year to pay the water bill that was due, and then turned around and had to use this years water money to operate the city on. This necessitates that another loan be taken out to pay the water bill for this year. We are going in circles with operating the city on water money," explained the Mayor to the council The water is of now carrying three-fourtthe bills of the city. We have got to get the city away from the water money and on stable financial ground again. The mayor explained that he and the city recorder had reviewed last years budget thor-ouiand fek that everything that could possibly be cut from each department had been planned, and the budget still falls short of realistic figures. Last year the city was operated on a budget with $15,000 expected for waste collection, waste disposed and miscellaneous expenditures, this year they have proposed $16,250. Last year their was a total of to the budget recapitulation revenue, which included the general fund, water and sewer, and bond redemption and interest.

If we want to stay within the means of the city, we will either have to cut additional expenses from the budget or raise the mill levy, added the mayor, and I dont know where we can cut it. It already has been cut to the bone. The council felt that they should take another week to discuss the budget more thoroughly and make checks into their departments to determine if more cuts could be made. I am sure we are all very much against raising the taxes, and I think that the people would rather see some of the services reduced for a year than to raise taxes to cover. these expenses, reported Councilman Gary Garlick. Councilman Stan Measells also pointed out that there has not been a raise to the mill levy in Sunset for nearly 10 years, and that for nearly that same amount of time, the city has been operating at a deficit. It was also noted that one of the largest factors to the reduction of funds, was the wipe out of businesses that occurred when the highway was widened. Nearly 90 of our businesses were taken away, and noth Registration Continues For Swimming Classes that class registration for the summer program at the Pool Manager John Pennington, reports Roy Swimming Pool is continuing on Saturday.

Councilman Garlick added that he soon hoped to present some plans to attract more business to Sunset and that would encourage more business licenses throughout the city. "Without businesses, it is the people who must pay the taxes, noted the mayor, and we are to a point where we must curtail all expen ditures or raise those taxes. In order that the public may be aware of the problems faced by the council in preparing the new budget, and to order that they might voice their opinions and suggestions, a special meeting has been called by the council to discuss the budget! The meeting will be held May 31 at 5 p.m. in the city offices. All interested citizens are invited.

H. Glynn, national president of the American Legion Auxiliary. Preparations for Poppy Day constitute a tremendous effort each year as some 20 million of the small red blossoms are hand made by thousand of disabled veterans throughout the nation. More than a million feet of the special red crepe paper must be provided for the task, plus some 244,000 feet of green crepe paper and 18 million feet of wire for shaping the stems and flowers. The project requires careful organization and planning on a broad scale, and the disabled veterans who produce the mountains of blossoms each year receive $300,000 for their efforts. All materials arc supplied without charge by the American Legion Auxiliary. |
