Several youths have been caught around the tank. 2820 South, To Our Readers: Subscription rates of the Magna Times and Garfield Leader will be increased, effective September 1. 1952. The increase, first for either newspaper in eleven years, was dictated by the unprecedented rise of production costs since 1941. Newsprint, the second largest single cost item in newspaper production, has increased in this period 90?t. Labor costs, as well as costs of all materials, supplies and equipment, distribution. newsgathering also have registered large increases. The Magna Times and Garfield Leader subscription rates have been among the lowest of weekly papers in Utah. Some newspapers have recently announced second and third post-wrate increases.

Local PTA organizations are also sponsoring this action. This interesting bit of news was contained in a letter from Lawrence A. Jones, Commissioner Health and Charity Department and sent to Mr. C. B. Smurth-waitDirector of the Salt Lake County Board of Health. Inspectors are now being assigned to the Magna area to check on people having outside toilets who are within the area covered by the sewer system as outlined in the County Ordinance, and instruct these people to connect immediately with the sewer system. Inasmuch as a notice to the public stating that they must conform with the sewer regulation was published in the Magna Times under date of May 25, 1951, it will not be necessary to give any further formal notice. Mr. Jones states that legal action necessary to assure rapid compliance with the ordinance will be employed to guarantee health and sanitation of residents in this locality. e, One-Thir- COMMITTEES grandchildren.

Local registration agents are urging and advising everyone to check their registration so they will be able to vote. Hundreds of names have been dropped from the books due to a number of legal technicalities. For instance, in District 300 alone, with Mrs. Estella Pehrson as registrar, 150 names have been dropped, and similar instances are occurring in other local districts. Therefore, in order to be eligible to vote in the September 9th primary and the final election November 4th, your name must appear properly on the books. Registration may be checked on: August 19, and 28, prior to the primary.

The work was completed by the Kennecott Copper Magna residents and particularly Mrs. Housewife, were pleasantly surprised Tuesday and Wednesday to find their culinary water softer and in larger quantity. This was due to the fact that Magnas new water was turned in manually, under controlled pressure, Into practically all the mains, so that local users could determine its softness and taste compared to the former supply. Several ladies report that their usual supply of dish washing soap and detergents caused a veritable geyser with soap bubbles floating over the sink and down on the floor. Officials of the Magna Water Company have received assurance from a firm in Troy, New York, that the vital water pressure regu- lator will be shipped September 19th and will arrive locally about a week later. This welcome news was greeted with enthusiasm as it will gusran-te- e that the rest of the Magna homes will receive the new water and bigger pressure shortly after the installation of this equipment The regulator will permit only a controlled amount of water and pressure to enter the system, acting as a safety guard against blowing up the older lines In certain portions of the town Thus, it is necessary that the balance of the community which is not receiving the new water at present, wait until the regulator Preparations arc being comdrive by pleted for a month-lon- g the Oquirrh District Community Fund from September 15th to October 15th, announces W.
