Earlier, the City Council unanimously recommended that the thru-waLehi on the west and south, rather than bisect the city again. A map showing the proposed route is now on display at the Memorial Building, and City Officials are urging all civic individual and organizations citizens to see it. In a letter to Mayor Sharp, W. by-pa- ss L. Anderson, Roads Secondary Engineer of the State Road Department, stated, in part: "The State Road Commission recommends the easterly location for the following reasons: 1. This route is three-quarteof a mile shorter than the westerly route, which has to be given very serious consideration when you rs consider the additional cost of traveling this extra distance. Under present traffic truck and volumes, considering passenger car operation, it would amount to over $240,000 per year. 2. It is believed that this easterly route would also much better serve Lehi City. It is proposed to provide an interchange with the existing road near the road-user- s' e south end of the present also interdivided road, and changes near the southerly limits of your city with existing U. S. 91, and with Main Street. As traffic will have no service along ,the Interstate route, they will be required to leave the freeway at the interchanges provided and obtain all services required between the interchanges. "With the interchanges at each end of your city, it would permit traffic desiring such services to enter the existing business disthe freeway at trict and the opposite end of town. The westerly route would not be located properly for such service, which would also be true of American Fork. "It is our opinion that the easterly route will not detract from residential locations. California has recently completed a study as to the effect of freeways on residential property immediately abutting freeway locations which is reported in their March-Apr- il issue of the "California And Public Works" Highway In this article, the magazine. purpose of which was to determine how the market value of residential property is influenced by freeway construction, and through the collection analysis of sales data covering a three-yeperiod of time, they reached the the City Council. At the present time, city law prohibits fires in incinerators after 8 p. m. City officials want to move the deadline up to noon because most of the winds occur in the, afternoons, and it is during the afternoon hours that most of the fires occur which are caused by sparks from incinerators. City Councilmen recently ordered strict enforcement of the ordinance on incinerators burning after 8 p. m., in order to prevent possible serious fires. The open incinerators are especially dangerous in the business ditrict.

The sewer ordinance provides fines and penalties for failure to connect. Persons wishing to install sewer connections must first make application at the City Office. This application can be filled out without charge. The property owner must then obtain the "cut" or elevation of his house line from Truitt Green, sewer inspector, before excavating.
