The determined Smelts have captured their first two "must tilts and tonight (Friday) &t 8 p.m. on their home floor, they will face the "big third," Bingham's Miners. The Smelterites, last Friday snapped a five game winning streak for the Grantsville cowboys with a triumph. The Miners, who last week clinched the Jordan division title with a convincing 52 to 27 victory over hapless Judge Memorial, have nothing but prestige at stake in tonight's encounter with the Smelterites. But the pressure is really on for the Smelts and a loss could spell "finis" to their Class B tourney dreams, depending on how well Tooele and Grantsville, along with Murray for second place, fare with their respective .rivals, Judge and Cyprus, tonight As it stands now, the race for second place in region two could end up seven different ways after tonight's last league tilts: Mur-raGrantsville and Tooele could all lose, necessitating a playoff; Murray and Grantsville tould win and Tooele lose; Tooele and Murray could win and Grantsville lose; Toole and Grantsville could win and Murray lose; Tooele could win and Murray and Qrantsville lose; Murray could win and Tooele and Grantsville could win lose, or Grantsville and Murray and "Tooele lose. With this in mind, here is a resime of how these same team3 did against each other in the first round of play put two and two together and your guess as to whom tonight's victors will be probably is just as good as the next guy's. Grantsville slipped on the Cowpast Cyprus boy's floor; Judge almost sank Tooele on the Bulldog's court, and Bingham trounced; on the Miners! Murray, hardwood. Murray had to beat Grantsville last Friday to stay in the running and the Smelterites came 3 victory. through with a The Smelts almost shared second place honors with but one team as Tooele's White Buffaloes had their hands full in winning from Cyprus by two slim points, Judge stayed with Bingham for one quarter last week by the third quarter the Miners led 8 points and by the end of the game they had doubled that lead.

J. Patton Neeley To serve temporarily as Murray judge. E. Rex Thompson Resigns Post as Recorder Clerk -- E. Rex Thompson, Murray City recorder and clerk, Thursday night submitted his resignation to the city commission at a regular meeting of the city council'. Mr. Thompson, who became city recorder in July, 1948, said that he resigned to accept a position with the Salt Lake County Recreation department. Effective date of the resignation will be March 11. Mr. Thompson oinvl 'tv staff as a mi'mbtA..--ta- . ray City police force a position he held but a short while before accepting a position in the office of the Murray Power and Light company. He was appointed city clerk in 1948. Business A graduate of LD college, Mr. Thompson attended the University of Chicago for two years, where he majored in business. He received public schooling in Idaho where in high school football he made the selections. He also won recognition as a basketball player.

Patton Neeley, 1561 Parkway Ave., Salt Lake attorney. Mr. Neeley took over the judicial reigns of the city Wednesday. The resignation of City Judge W. Douglas Allen, Feb. 15, nearly two years before his elective term would have expired, left the law enforcement machinery of the city only partially effective. Murray police could charge violators of the law but until the vacated judgeship was filled it was impossible to hold and prosecute them. The new judge began work immediately to clear a court calendar of traffic offenses, small claim and civil cases. Temporary appointment of Mr. Neeley was made recently at a regular meeting of the Murray City commission. Mayor Hansen explained that Mr. Neeley was appointed temporarily to "put teeth" into city law enforcement while the commission further studied the qualifications of six applicants who so far have filed for the position. The position pays $3600 per year. "The judgeship calls for a person of ability and mature judgement, "Mayor Hansen said. "Murray City will have a new judge as soon as we can get the right man for the post." Mr. Neeley was appointed deputy Salt Lake county attorney in 1938, and he ran for the state house of representatives on the Democratic ticket the same year.

He received his LLB degree from the University of Chicago- - Buildinc nermit valuation for February, 1950, was greater than those of February, 1948 and 1949 combined, soaring to a new high of $75,700. Valuation for February, 1948 was $20,400 and for the same month in 1949 it reach ed $41,600. Construction of seven resi dences at a valuation of $7000 Der home, at 5770 South State St, by Hansen Homes, accounted for the sharp February rise. Another reason for the sharp increase micht be due to the com paratively mild winter weather during February. There were no building permits issued during January of 1949; however, due to the extraordinary number of issued last building permits month, the 1950 total as of Feb. 28 exceeds that of last year by $34,000.
