Weeks Jr. Should Orem grant the request re-quest of residents of Edgemont and Pleasant View to annex tne territory from Carterville on the west to the mountain on the east, and from Provo City limits on the south to the mouth of Provo Canyon on the north? That is the question which is confronting confront-ing the Orem Council this week. Representatives of residents In the Edgemont and Pleasant View areas have advised Mayor J. W. Gillman that they are ready to circulate the necessary petitions if the city officials look favorably favor-ably on the annexation. Those urging the Council to approve the annexation point out the fact that during the past 17 years Orem has added hundreds hun-dreds of acres to the corporate limits of the city by annexation. On February 25, 1932 the Council approved the Patten Addition. The Grand View Addition Add-ition was added on May 1 , 1938, and the Carterville Addition was added on October 10, 1939. The Lake View-Vineyard Add ition, was accepted by the council coun-cil December 1, 1943, and on April 18. 1945, the Olsen-Er-canbrack Addition and the Cemetery Cem-etery Addition were added to the city. The addition of the Edgemont and Pleasant View areas to Orem City would follow the pattern pat-tern established in the past of annexing territory adjoining Orem Or-em whose residents share the same church, school and recreational re-creational ties with Orem resid- 20th North to 20tb South By O.

Simmons and a few other longtime long-time residents can tell you about the days when it was quite a journey across the bench from the present 20th North to 20th South. Mayor J. W. Gillman is also one who can remember a great deal about the evolution of Orem's Or-em's State Street. In his dedication dedicat-ion speech at the highway celebration cele-bration Wednesday night he outlined out-lined the highlights in the growth and development of the street from trail to county road to state highway to U.
