A group of concerned citizens from King Clarion Hills subdivision living in the area of Bedford and Manchester Streets met with the council with Bruce Jeffs as spokesman, to discuss the problem of an underground spring which is causing the curb and gutter to sink, creating a huge hole which is a hazard not only to children, but to bicyclists, and v chicles using the street. The hole is deep enough that a two year old child standing in it can hardly be seen i which is a dangerous situation. EACH YEAR it deteriorates more. There has been a problem there for several years and the city crews fill it with gravel and dirt and it washes away. It becomes deeper and deeper and ranges from two to three feet. Barricades have been placed at the sight, but it does not solve the seriousness of the situation to all. Teenagers driving cars knock the barricades down and at night time there is no way that one is aware of the deep hole. MRS. MAXINE Leavitt was with the group it has been there for at least the past eight years. The homes built in her neighborhood were built over springs. The drains were all channeled into a drainage system by the original developer, but they evidently missed this one, that is creating the problem and she gets all the mud in her back yard each year. Th city administrator and council people will meet with these residents and discuss the alternatives of having the contractor take care of the hole. Mr. Thacker asked the citizens to take a map and mark the area that is giving them the problem. of citizens and she stated MR. JEFFS also wanted to know if the city could repair the road and fix the problem once and for all, without just adding dirt as they had previously done. Mr. Thacker explained that he has asked the Whittakers Contractors that are doing the work on the culverts in King Clarion Hills Area, to give the city a price bid on doing the work on the three roads, Bedford, Oxford and Manchester in order to solve problems on those streets. Mr. Walcott, another resident with the group asked Mr. Thacker if at the time the contractor digs up the street, if he could find out about the spring water or the source of the problem. MR. THACKER said these are the issues the city needs to know, and after the residents draw the problem spots on the map, the city will work to solve the problem. They will also replace the present barricades with ones that have blinking lights to help with the situation, np Layton Seeks Performers Group Gives For Summer Concerts Funds For 100 Books For Library CLEARFIELD In one of the largest financial contributions ever received by the Davis County Library, funds to purchase about 100 large print books have been received from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs. -- - - LAYTON The Layton Arts Council members are looking for talented musicians to perform at the Summer Sunday evening concert series that will be held again this year each Sunday evening throughout June, July and possibly August if the weather is good.
