(Continued op Inside Page) - t w" ,!., A final recommendation for the purchase of a high school site in Lehi was submitted to the Alpine School Board last Monday night by seven representatives of the Lehi School Survey Committee. Virgil H. Peterson, chairman of the committee and spokesman for the group, told the Board that the Committee was still unanimous in it's recommendation of the East site. Members of the committee met with the Board several weeks ago and strongly urged purchase of the proposed high school site east of town. After considerable discussion, the Board requested the Committee to obtain a commitment in writing from the City Council agreeing to: (1) Annex the site into the city limits, (2) Aid with the drainage project, (3) Supply the utilities (i.e. water, power and sewage service, when Lehi completes a sewer system), and (4) Secure rights of way and build access roads into the area, A letter was then formulated by the Committee containing the four points listed above and presented to the Mayor and City Council for their approval. The letter, how ever, made exception to the drain' age project, and requested that the City participate in the drain only to the extent that they would use it. In other words, if the drain were extended into the Fourth Ward area, the City would pay for that portion of the drain constructed off school property. Mayor Frank Sharp objected to the Council's signing the letter, and suggested that Lehi City should do only those things towards the school site which were required of the other communities in the district no more and no less. He suggested that a second letter be drawn up and signed by the Council pledging Lehi to do only what the other communities had done for their school sites, The original letter, however, was later signed by four members of the City Council, and was sub mitted to the School Board, along with a report containing facts and figures pertaining to . the East . Information Folder to be Distributed Mr. Gibbs was requested to prepare an informational folder for distribution in the city, so as to explain in detail the cost of the sewer to each property owner. Considerable discussion followed with regard to future extension lines for those streets which were not now built up sufficiently to Justify a sewer line. Provisions with regard to this were to be written into the folder, Committee Enthusiastic About Plan The committee were enthusiastic at the possibility of getting a sewer system and doing so an such reasonable terms for the property owners. Even the $100.00 connection fee can be paid "on time" according to the plan. The committee unanimously agreed to divide the city into districts and to personally see to it that all property owners are acquainted with and understand the sewer program so that the bond election can be carried by an overwhelming majority. Members of the committee are: David B. Roberts, Wesley Rasmussen, Maurice (Brig) Dahl, George Carson, Dale Peterson, Russell Innes, Mrs. John Ernst, Don Veater, Mrs. Horace Hadfield, Mrs. Roy Peterson, Mrs. Cecil Zimmerman, George A. Ricks, Dwight Bates, Ralph Wing, Alma Peterson, Glen Wanlass, Garn Holbrook, Mrs. Ralph Davis, Mrs. Noy Christofferson, Lowell Brown, Warren Goates, Mrs. Byron Whipple, Dr. E. Eddington and Stanley Taylor, It was estimated that the election might be held in the early part of August and the construction of the sewer began by October 1 of ' this year.

D. theme of yA Jaycees Set Car Wash For Saturday A Citizen's committee of some 27 persons, headed by Clell Jack chairman, met with the City Council last Monday evening to t urge that steps be taken immediately toward the construction of a sewer system for Lehi. Engineer Explains Sewer Construction By previous arrangements, Engineer Alton H. Sorenson of Salt Lake City, was present to outline the area which could be feasibly ' sewered and to answer various questions with regard to the installa tion of the sewer lines and the construction of a sewage treatment plant. He estimated the cost of the project to be $700,000.00. . Finance Expert Explains How Sewer Will Be Paid Also present was Lauren W. Gibbs of Salt Lake City, a munici pal finance expert, who outlined to the committee and the city council, the various methods under which the projects might be financed. Mr. Gibbs recommended a general obligation bond of $175,000 to install the treatment plant, and recommended that the balance of the cost be provided by a revenue bond issue which would be repaid from monthly service charges. The owner of a house would pay a connection fee of $100.00 and would thereafter pay $2.50 per month to operate the sewer system and pay off the bonds. Under this arrangement, the city provides a sewer stub from the street lateral to the property line; but the property owner assumes the responsibility of constructing house service line on his own property. Other methods were discussed, but it was the unanimous opinion of the committee that the basis outlined by Mr. Gibbs was highly satisfactory and the city council was requested to go ahead with the sewer project on the basis as explained. Street Surfacing; Bond Recommended City Councilman Harold Westring brought up the question of the poor condition of Lehi's streets, and observed that the installation of the sewer system would leave the streets in even worse condition. It was then recommended that $75,000 be added to the bond issue for the purpose of the streets so as to make sure that Lehi City is in a condition of which all of its citizens can be proud. site.
