An Independent Newspaper BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, FEB. 10, 1961 Oldest Weekly In Salt Lake County PHONE PR 36 DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH JOHN J. CREEDON it . w . . - ; I THE BOURGARD BUILDING Bingham's largest and for ir.an; years one of its best apartment buildings is rapidly disappearing, falling to the hands of the wreck-- ' ing crew. liourgard Apartments was the pride and joy of its owr.er, Jerome Bourgnrd, pioneer businessman and builder of Bingham. The building was erected about 1914 or 1915 and was designed and built by one of our own carpenters and archi-tects, Leonard Porter. It filed the need of a growing community by providing modern living in the heart of the busy busi-ness section. Many of our leading citizens over the years have called it home. Doctors, lawyers, business and mining executivea were among its With tweve apartments on the top three floors and space for busi-ness establishments on the ground floor, it was always occupied and had a waiting list of those seeking to rent the living quarters. What a place to watch the pass-ing parade on Main Street. With each unit having a porch, during parades and celebrations the porch, es were packed by the tenants and thir friends taking advantage of grandstand seats for the many ev-ents taking place up town. The ground foor saw a great variety of business enterprises. For many years colorful Doctor John F. Flynn had his offices in the south end of the building. When I Dr. Flvnn left Bingham, the O'- - endeared Kim to everyone he met. We used to kid John a lot and his standard answer to our query of "How's business?" would be "dead". For a short time Wayne Footo had a pool hall on the ground floor and Mrs. Cook had a small restaur-ant there. The American Express had its offices there for many years. Herbert Gust had a print shop and put out a newspaper in the north end of the building and later the Bingham Bulletin took over this part of the ground floor and our ' paper was published there until 1939, when the Bulletin moved to its present location. Earl James lived over the print shop for some time and he had many a laugh w.th friends who called there for the first time. In the Bulletin office they had an electric saw that was used to cut and trim sterotype plates made of lead. Thi ssaw would give out an eerie sound as it cut through these plates. If a stranger was upstairs at the time th's saw was going through its duties, Earl or some of his friends would remark, "Well, guess John has another one too long for the coffin". Of course this would raise the question of what was going on. The answer would be, "John, having a small stock of coffins would have to saw the legs off the corpse and set them back in the coffin". It was amus-ing to watch the expression on the . Donnell Mortuary moved from across the street into his former office and there a mortuary has been operated to this day. We re-member bent John Stampfel, mor-tician who established his own business many years ago. John was a f ne man, with a great love for people and a humbleness and un-derstanding for those bereft, that faces of the visitors. Some of them were somewhat skeptical, but oth. ers really believed this tale. As much a part of the Bourgard Apartments was the house next door where the Wilford Harris re-sided for nearly forty years. Bill was the caretaker and faith-ful overseer of the property from 1920 until the present time and no man carried out his duties more tirelessly. He was on the job at all hours of the day or night, taking care of the endless task of caring for such a large building and en-deavoring to keep the tenants hap-py and contented. The Harris home at 444 Main was a meeting place for members of the fire department and their partners after every parade and celebration. I recall many happy times as guests of Connie, Bill and Virginia. Young and old were wel-comed and there was always some thing good to eat and drink and most of all the hearty welcome was always evident. I remember other times when we left a party there to go rabbit hunting next morning, driving 150 miles to hunt the bunnies. Many a basketball team was dined and honored by Connie and Bill and they were among the loyal fans who meant so much to the young boys who made up the teams. As a fireman I shall breathe a bit easier when the Bourgard is finally leveled, for if there was any one building in town that gave the fire department a chill, it was this one. I don't remember how many times we have fought an imaginary fire at this location, placing our hose and equipment, getting our pumping stations in operation and in general just what to expect and what we could do. I am thankful we never had to put our plan in action, but there is a sadness for all of us to see it go.

Winning suggestions were offer-ed by John H. Dinkelman of 1385 West 33 rd So., Salt Lake City; Gayle C. Julian of 245 No. Center, American Fork, and Carl Hatfield of 7830 So. 2200 West, West Jor-dan. Hatfield won $277 for designing a tool that straightens steps on mine railroad waste cars without having to remove the steps. This will mean estimated annual savings of more than $1,100. Julian proposed that crankcase oil be recirculated through an air compressor at the refinery's cast-ing building. This saves five gallons of oil that were added each day to the compressor. He was awarded $229 for a suggestion that will save on estimated $916 annually. Dinkelman received $200 for devising a filter in a pump supply line to save solvent at the refinery in the field repair work center. The filter removes foreign matter from solvent as it circulates and lengthens the time sol-vent can be used. U,1 v .v t 4 ar"- - , jr - - ' ., rJ r- - si . . ' vt I . - &s r v i 4r v . ( r i t I U .
