Mrs. Dale Walker responded to his call and alerted the Lehi Fire Department. Both the Lehi Fire Department and Cedar Fork Department battled the blaze but were unable to save the home.

New rates for business licenses and the choosing of a swimming pool committee highlighted the business of the Lehi City Council Tuesday night. A full city council met to decide that business license rates should be increased to be in line with other cities in the area. The meetine. which lasted until 12 o'clock was followed by an executive session that excluded the public and press. Attorney. Ed Gibbs was first on the agenda with recomme- profoundly and severly retarded residents. The film, "In Prospective: Utah State Training School" was prepared by the Mental Retardation Association of Utah, Inc. MRAU executive director, Elaine Sharp, said the purpose of the film is to place the charges In proper prospective. "As an association of parents and friends of Utah's mentally retarded citizens, we are a developing a plot of land in the city. Virgil Peterson, who represents the Lehi Centennial Committee, reported that the committee has $144 which is to be put into a savings account. The group is also selling the last volumes of the limited edition, Lehi Centennial Hisory, that was printed in the 1950 commemoration. Interested parties can buy the books at the city hall for $7 each. Mr. Peterson explained that the committee had decided that the money that was accumulated was to be used for some future project that would be determined by the committee or their successors. As the chairman of the Lehi Metropolitan Water Board, he informed the new council members of the board's relationship to the city:' He will provide a financial statement for the council at their next meeting. Berl Peterson, Lehi City police chief, asked the council for a clarification on the city policy of not selling beer on Sunday. He asked for a uniform ruling that will be fair to all businesses in the community. Presently, beer selling on Sunday is denied the locally controlled grocery stores while liquor and beer is sold in the state regulated private clubs. The council asked City Attorney Robert Gunn to look into the matter. A motion to form a committee for the proposed Lehi swimming pool passed, naming Graid and Ingrid Hinckley, Frank Comer, and Gary Gines as members of the committee. Gil Van Wagoner, the chairman, said that some people in the community were already interested in donating to the project. He asked about possibility of donators declaring their donations as tax exemptions. Attorney Robert Gunn Of the few innocent pleasures left to men past middle life, the jamming of common sense down the throats of fools is perhaps the keenest. We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves. worked on a special committee which was formed to thoroughly investigate each allegation. The results have been presented in writing to the Governor's office and the Division of Family Services. "Concluding the response by MRAU is the film which was produced and directed by Gene Minshall, a former TV news director and a member of MRAU who also has a child at the school." - Councilwoman, Joanne Brown, reported that the police department received 47 applications for the new police officer who is to be hired. She said that a letter notifying the applicants of interview times will be sent. The council passed a motion that the library board be authorized to choose the successors of two members of the board whose terms have expired. Presently, four people have been nominated to the positions. Councilman John Haws asked the council to consider having some sort of commemoration of Lehi's birthday on February 5. The council asked him to proceed with several ideas that he presented to the group. The council voted to rescind the requirement that some businesses be forced to move their power meter to the exterior of the business. The group decided that those commercial houses whose normal business hours made it possible for the city meter readers to have access to the meter would be excluded from the original requirement. The council asked Robert Gunn to look into the matter of the city's passing a bad check ordinance to protect the city's businesses. The council approved a contract with the Intermountain Consumer Power Association for the city's power for the next year. Duane Woffinden suggested a 100 kilowatt increase over last year to provide for increased use due to new building in the city He also asked the council to consider the fea- sibility of requiring a "power-permit for those people who are making power connections in the city. A motion to approve the rental of equipment that would allow city crews to top some tall trees that cannot be reached with the city's equipment was approved. Also a minimum and maximum range for removing power poles from the front of residences was approved. The old flat fee of $50 was changed to allow the city to charge between $100 and $200 depending on the type of pole. Upon the recommendation of Councilman Lester Holcomb, the council passed a resolution that increases the amounts that businesses must pay for business licenses. The resolution, which taxes businesses according to their gross receipts, put the city's more in line with the rates in other area cities. The council also passed a motion to sign a quit claim deed to Merrill Liston for $3500 for the city's interest in a piece of propetty owned by Boyd Wathen. The council then convened in an executive session that lasted until 1 a.m. The meeting, which was closed to the public and press, dealt with the talk of salaries of some city employees, according to Mayor Visitors Urged To Observe Hospital Elules Persons visiting at the Amerare asked to remember that a "good visit is a short visit" and to observe hospital visiting hours when coming to see friends or relatives confined to the facility.

Visitors to the intensive Care Unit are limited to five minutes per hour, and only one visitor at a time. The visiting hours have been set for the benefit of the patient who is in the hospital to rest and convalesce from illness or surgery.'
