The paper has a staff of thirty-five reporters this year. Lillian Jensen is the editor. Farewell Social Given A movement has been started to for Elder I van Dahl I of provid.e Midvale ~th a. city delivery mail matter twice ,daily. C. I. Goff, local postmaster, revealed today that, despite the fact that there is a possibility of the Midvale postoffice being designated as a · branch of the Salt Lake office in case the proposed action is taken, in which event he may or may not retain his Federal position here, he feels that Midvale citizens are entitled to this first class service. This propsal has long been under consideration, Mr. Goff said, but the government regulations require that the district to be served by postal carriers reach a SlJecified population and that the revenue of the postal department come up to required figures. This population and the necessary postal revenues have now been achieved, and Midvale is entitled, under the Federal laws, to carrier service to the homes. There are now 400 boxes rented in the Midvale post office, with a waitA farewell testimonial in honor of ing list of thirty-five.

The questions to be voted on reads as follows: "Shall the negotiable coupon bonds of the city of Midvale City, county of Salt Lake and state of Utah, in the sum of $125,000, payable in not to exceed forty years from the date of their issue and bearing interest at the rate of not to exceed six per cent per annum, be issued and sold for the purpose of raising funds to defray the expense of increasing, improving, enlarging and extending the present water supply and waterworks system of the city of Midvale City, county of Salt Lake, state of Utah, for the purpose of adequately supplying said city and the inhabitants thereof with water, said waterworks system to be owned and controllect by said muncipality?" This step was deemed advisable by council owing to the fact that during the past three summers there has been quite a shortage of water at times, and as the city is gradually growing, with prospects for a very material growth in the next few years, the question of having an ample water supply is a very serious one. The water question has been up before the council at nearly every meeting during the summer and a number of propositions for the purchasing of more water have been offered them, but none have been definitely decided upon at this time. In many places in the water system the wooden stave pipes which were installed in 1923 are giving a great deal of trouble and are inadequate to :.;upply the needs of water users, and it is proposed to replace these with cast iron mains of sufficient size to take care of the growth of the city for a number of years. Other questions in relation to the water system came before the council at the meeting Tuesday night, and City Watermaster A. A. Larson was authorized to lay a larger main on Pioneer street. There are now thirteen water users on this street and the present line is too small to give them service. The small line will be replaced with a 4-inch cast iron pipe. STATE FARM BUREAU ENDORSES TAX REVISION LEAGUE'S CAMPAIGN The Utah State Farm Bureau federation has given its full support and endorsement to the Citizens' Tax Revision League in its campaign for the tax revision amendments Which are coming before the people this fall. This action was taken by the board of directors at a meeting held last week. The league is now completely organized and is preparing to have speakers appear before all meetings held throughout the state, at which the purposes of the constitutional amendments can be explained t() the people. All groups holding meetings during the next several weeks are requested to have the subject of tax revision discussed at their meetings, and are asked to communicate with the league in obtaining speakers. Epworth League Plans Interesting Program The opening meeting of the Epworth League will be held next Wednesday evening October 1 at 7:30. The members of the cabinet have planned an interesting program to be followed by the serving of refreshments and other social events. All of the old members and prospective ones are invited to be present for this opening night of good fellowship. The members of the Sunday school are to regjster Sunday morning for the work of the coming year and receive their membership badges. Adults will please remember the Bible class meets during the Sunday school hour and will be well worth attending. A Rally Day program is being planned for Sunday October 5. It is well for to bear in mind that the whole community is benefited by the activities of the churches. Many people thoughtlessly accept what the church does for them by influencing their children, by creating the groundwork of honest business, by promoting hospitals and homes without making any return to the church either of money, time, interest or attendance at its meetings. The man or woman who is discharging full responsibility as a citizen gives of self and substance to the church.
