This is not the first year Midvale has had a Christmas tree. In former years a tree has been decorated, which shows what this wideawake town is doing to make this a real "Christmas City." Anyone who has more Christmas tree trimmings than they have use for, are asked to bring them in, ao as to transform the large tree into a beautiful symbol of Christmas which everyone may enjoy. Midvale business houses are taking on a festive appearance with their interiors resplendent with Christmas :3treamers, wreaths, bells, miniature Santas, dazzling icicles and other dec· :>rative fancies. The display windows l.re equally attractive, with an array Jf gifts for every member of the fam•ly and friends, in Yuletide settings )f panels and streamers in the colors )f the holiday season. Midvale stores are unusually heavily stocked with Christmas merchaniise and a visit will convince you that never before has there been 3Uch a varied assortment of reasonlbly priced articles. Only a few days left to do your final shopping. Come to 'Midvale '\nd find your last minute suggestions. Midvale stores will be open eve.rings on Friday, Saturday, Monday l.Ild Tuesday, December 20, 21, 23 and 24, till 9 p. m. Local Young Women to Enter Training Leda Whitmore and Beulah Bowen, who have been on a four months' probation period at the L. D. S. hos;Jital training school, have just completed their work there and are permanently transferred to the training school. They have been at the head of their respective classes during the entire term. Their practice work at the hospital has been only part of their duties as they were required to spend a number of hours at the University of Utah. Next Sunday they are to be presented with their white uniforms, which is the insignia of the training school. Their many friends in this vicinity wish them future success and a. hope that they will continue their good work. }flJST RETURN LIBRARY BOOKS An appeal is again made to all who have books belonging to the public library · and are overdue, to return them as soon as possible. Drastic measures will be used to collect the books which are aWl out by the end of. December. "A Son of tile Middle Border," by Garland Hamlin, and "Laughing Boy," by Oliver La Farge, are the new books added to the rental shelf of the library this week. NOTICE OF POULTRY MEETING At the request of poultry and business men of Midvale and the adjacent community ,a mass meeting will be called Saturday, December 21, at 8 o'clock p. m., at the Goff hall,in Mid. vale. The meeting is called for the purpose of organizing a poultry association in the interest of establishing an egg grading and receiving plant at Midvale. One of the officers of the Utah Poultry as.'Jociation will be present, also John Hansen. president of the Salt Lake Farm Bureau and V. L. Martineau, county agricultural agent. CHRISTMAS DANCE AT GOFFS HALL A Christmas dance will be given at the Goff hall on December 25. This dance is given under the auspices of the Midvale Second ward. The dance will not in the least interfere with your ehristmas dinner, so after you have had all the turkey that you can eat, come to the dance and shake your feet to the tantalizing rhythm ot the Knights o1 :Melodles. passes any that has as yet been built in a town of this size. Comment bas been received from all over the country and especially from visitora, who claim that it is one of the most magnificent structures of its kind in the state. Credit is more than due to the designers and builders. The old bank building on the corner of First avenue and Main street has for many years served its purpose, but the directors found it necessary to have a much larger and better building, and on June 3 of this year contracts were let to H. E. Schraven for the general contracting work; to Fox and Tingey for plumbing and heating; Alex Blomquist of American Fork for the interior decorating, to whom a great deal of the beauty of the building is due. On November 2, the building was pronounced completed, and a form!ll opening and dedication service was performed, at which 2500 people attended to inspect this wonderful masterpiece of man's genius. The interior construction is practically all composed of imported Italian Mosacca and Golden Travis Utah marble. The floor consists of rubber tile, which makes walking a pleasure. The great feature of the building is its immense vault, which is one of the finest constructed safety deposit vaults in the history of modern bank building. The construction of the vault is in exact conformity with its 7000pound door. These assets make it one of the most convenient, modern vaults of its kind. Steam heat is used throughout, and due to the recent installation of gas in this community by the Wasatch Gas company of Salt Lake, natural gas was selected as fuel. Thirty thousana dollars has been expended on this beautiful structure and those who haven't as yet seen it will be greatly astounded by its magnificence. Wasatch Gas Company A new era is at hand, when people can heat their homes and business places as easily as they can light them. It is almost inconceivable that you can have just the temperature desired, in the room or range oven or water heater, with no effort other than setting the thermostat which controls the heat. Yet, that is what natural gas has brought to the homes and business houses of Midvale anC\ the Salt Lake vicinity. Wasatch Gas company has brought (Continued on last page) Snow or No Snow; Roads Cost Money The question is often asked how much the state saves when there is no snow to plow off the roads. As far as the gravel roads are concerned, there is no saving at all, according to a state highway bulletin. Due to the heavy trafic, maintenance men must keep right on through the winter smoothing the surface when there is no snow, and the rnltintenance pay· roll in a month like November or December of this year is greater than it would be if there were a moderate amount of snow. There is also a heavy loss of gravel when there is no snow. Where traffic is heavy, the surface material is ground up so that each passing car throws some of it on the roadsides. The loss amounts to many loads of gravel per mile during a snowless winter. The greater the traffic, the greater the loss. On paved routes, absence of snow effects an actual saving. Snow-plowing costs as much on paved as on unpaved routes, but when there is no snow, there is no winter maintenance expense on the pavements. CITY BUDGET READY FOR INSPECTION The tentative budget of Midvale City for the year 1930, is now prepared and available for inspection at the office of the city recorder. The time of meeting for public discussion on the tentative budget is set for Monday, December 30, at 12 o'clock noon, at the city hall. MARY B. STOKES, City Recorder. |
