Lovell and Price, Men for the Job In 1963, Mr. Evan Gardner served as chairman of the Cleanup and Beautification Committee of Delta. Remarkable Remark-able strides were made in cleaning up streets to property lines, cleaning vacant lots, hauling off old discarded electric elect-ric appliances and car bodies, dead trees, trimming trees and in general giving Delta a much needed face-lifting. The project pro-ject got underway in mid-March and continued until winter weather set in. Mr. Gardner spent many hours advising, directing, di-recting, lining up equipment and actually doing work he was physically unable to do. Delta City adopted an Ordinance Sept. 9, 1963 for the abatement of weeds, garbage, refuse or any unsightly or deleterious de-leterious objects or structures. Te adoption of this Ordinance should have made work of committeemen easier. In 1964, Mr. Gardner again consented to act as General Chairman. Once again, he worked many hours to line up equipment, setting up pickup dates for the four sectors of town, pleading with residents to serve as Sector Chairmen, Block Chairmen, getting items to the Chronicle for publication publi-cation and urging residents to continue to work towards a cleaner Delta. The 1964 Committee expected great assistance by the enforcement of the newly-adopted cleanup Ordinance. Mr. Gardner and committee members contacted several Delta residents to inform them that the Ordinance would be enforced. en-forced. THE ORDINANCE HAS NEVER BEEN ENFORCED ENFORC-ED TO DATE. Mr. Gardner became ill and submitted his resignation to Delta City Council and the cleanup project came to a standstill. WE PREDICT AN EASIER ROAD FOR THE NEW COMMITTEE. Lem Lovell, Delta businessman, City Councilman and Bishop of Delta Third Ward is going "great guns" for the 1965 drive. He and Mayor Church have spent several hours lining up committee members to spearhead the drive. In his official capacity as City Councilman, Mr. Lovell will give every assistance to the committee, whose chairman chair-man will be Bob Price. Councilman Lovell has already sparked discussions in Council meetings on the Cleanup Ordinance. The new Committee can rest assured that it will have the firm backing of Councilman Lovell and indeed of all Councilmen and Mayor Church. Council discussed the problems of cleaning and beautifying beau-tifying Delta at great length at Monday night's Council meeting. Mayor Church assured Councilman Lovell that all necessary steps will be taken to cleaning up Delta, even to enforcing the new Cleanup Ordinance. Mr. Lovell and Mr. Price will need cooperation and encouragement en-couragement from all to realize the goals set in the project. We think they are the men for the job. We wish them well! 2L 'SERVING Volume 55 Number 33 Meetings Held On Beautification Dr. Arvil Stark of the Utah Stale University met with Councilman Lem Lovell, County Agent Marven Ogden and interested Delta residents resi-dents last week to more fully organize or-ganize a Cleanup and Beautification Beautifica-tion Committee.

Another picture which interested the group was of a Utah town which had planted four hundred trees in a beautification project. The trees were watered weekly by the volunteer fire dept. truck. Following the showing of tne slides the group exchanged ideas on how some of the plans of other towns and communities could be adopted to meet the needs of Delta. Del-ta.

Details will follow next week regarding the program agenda for .he meeting. Neighborhood Youth Jack Fowles, Counselor at Delta High School, met with Delta City Council Monday night to explain the work-training program of the Economic Opportunity Act known as the Neighborhood Youth Corps. The Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) has Deen established as a part of the U.S. Department of Labor's Manpower Administration. NYC will make it possible for youth from 16 through 21 years of age to: Stay in school; Return to school if they have already left the classroom; obtain work experience experi-ence and develop work skills if they are out of school and out -t work. The new program will employ both young men and women. They will be assigned to projects which otherwise would not be performed. Their work will result in better services ser-vices and improved facilities for the public benefit. The program will not displaca employed workers or impair existing exist-ing contracts of service. The NYC will make it possible for youth to Delta, Utah 84624 10c copy $4.00 a year in advance menl plant. This will be in the form of a sewer assessment, as practice in other Utah towns, for each sewer connection. Council will make inquiries in-quiries of other cities on sewer assessments as-sessments prior to the next budget hearing. Councilman Moody reported on culinary water conditions in Delta. He said that testing of water pressure pres-sure in the south part of Delta showed surprisingly high pressure during the summer months when more water is naturally used for irrigation and sprinkling purposes. The irrigation system of the city is still under s.udy. Council is of the opinion that different arrangements arrange-ments will have to be made In the future as the city cannot continue to operate the irrigation system at a loss. Councilman Moody closed with a report on the brochure on Delta and surrounding area. The brochure will be attractively printed in two color ink and will outline many facts about Delia. It Is now in the hands of the printer. Councilman Barben reported that Ward Killpack had been contacted and will form a committee on his street to spearhead the drive for curb and guttering. Class "C" road funds will be used to top the street from curb to curb upon completion of the curb and guttering project. The curb and gutter projects must conform to certain city specifications specifica-tions such as using graded and washed gravel and proper curing. Delta City will put the street to grade and establish boundary lines. Guided by lessons learned the hard way by former City Councils, the present council will insist on the money for the complete project being be-ing paid before the work is commenced. com-menced. Councilman Hardy, in charge of the Police Dept. said that a request had been made by the Ponce Dept. for a new typewriter. After some discussion, it was decided that the oid one could probably be repaired. If not, a good used one will be pur chased. He reported that the police officers had also requested a new car. He said that Police officers complained of the low gas mileage that they were getting with the 1963 Rambler plus other complaints. com-plaints. This brought on a lot of discussion, which ranged from the charge that the present car was or had been sightly abused by the department to the question of "Do our policemen ride too much?" to hours of shifts and vacation time policy. Much of the discussion centered cen-tered on which method of patrolling, patrol-ling, foot or car, provides the best protection. Some councilmen felt that policemen really do patrol by car too much while others expressed expres-sed the opinion that foot patrolling patroll-ing would not be as effective. All were of the opinion that the request re-quest for a new car was ill-timed. It is possible that the purchase of a new car will be included in the new budget in June. Police vaca tion time policy is as follows: 12 days a year, to be taken in a period of not less than six days at a time, The discussion on the shifts re suited in a meeting between the Police Dept., Millard County Sheriffs Sher-iffs Dept. and the Highway Patrol and City Tttorney Eliason being arranged. It is hoped that from the meeting, better protection without too much overlapping of shifts by the various agencies can be had. During a 24-hour day there is at least one hour when no agency is actually on duty, although all three are on call. This is cause for concern to many Delta residents. A list of thirty-two delinquent water users was presented to the Council by Recorder Bennett. Supt. Wood has assisted in drawing up stay in school or to resume schooling school-ing by providing part-time work. Such work will be made available to enrollees who attend school full-time. full-time. Part-time work schedules are expected to be from ten to twenty hours weekly. NYC summer work projects will be designed to provide full-time work to youth who will return to school in the fall session. Eligible youth will be those planning to return re-turn to school in the fall session, post-graduate education or vocational voca-tional training. Other youth eligible eligi-ble will be those who have graduated grad-uated and others who have left school and who need work-training to improve their employability. Out-of-work youth who have permanently left school are eligible eligi-ble for full-time work-training. Work performed by youth enrolled en-rolled in the NYC will be performed on facilities owned by and operated by the contractor (such as Delta City), upon other local facilities, or upon any combination of approved ap-proved nonprofit facilities. ZD VALLEY" Firobtaeis the list. Four of the delinquent users owe the city in excess of $100.00 each and are in arrears up to a year. Councilman Moody, In charge of the water dept. took the list and assured the council that he would handle he matter.
