Enrollment figures gleaned by the district indicate that a building program is a must if the present educational level is to be maintained for the students of the district.

I wondered what would happen to a small child or an older person who tried to pass them or get them to move. Just what does It take for us to get something done? Need we wait until someone Is seriously hurt (when its too late) to get something done. Recently a neighbor of mine was annoyed by several dogs In our neighborhood, which are frequent visitors to our lawns and bushes, so she put In a call to the , .catcher and as of yet these dogs are still not taken care of. I feel that If a person wants to live In town and have a dog or other pets this is his right as long as they are kept at home and dont Infringe on the rights of others who want to have nice yards and the freedom of walking on the sidewalks without being threatened by other peoples pets. Simply liecause a dog has a tag should not make him allowed to run free and bother other people. If our town has laws on pet control I think It Is time for them to be enforced, and If not then Its time some were made! Signed, A concerned Citizen Mra.

Individual March reports range from 19 at SantaEven with quln to 150 at Morgan. two dry montha water-yeprecipitation Is substantially above average. Seasonal totals range from near 100 of average over the lower Provo drainage and other Utah lake drainages to above 150 of average over portions of the Weber and Bear River basins between Morgan and Evanston. Low precipitation and extremely high temperatures caused a significant depletion of mountain snowpacks as well as abnormally high March snowmelt runoff. April 1st snow pack measurements as reported by the Soil Conservation Service range from 0 at Hole-ln-t- he Rock to 141 at Garden City Summit. Temperatures during March were signinormal for ficantly above the long-ter- m the second consecutive month. At the Salt lake Airport the mean temperature was 46.9 degrees, 6.5 degrees above the long-ter- m average, and only 3 degrees below the April normal. Record maximum temperatures occurred on eleven different days; the highest temperature being 75 degrees on March 9 and March 22, 10 degrees above the previous record for March 9.
