May-)r May-)r Gillman reports that the jftovo people were prompt to request Orem's beautiful float for the Provo Fourth parade. Prow's business houses, who ire earnest in their efforts to lolicit Orem trade, were conspicuous con-spicuous by their absence in Orem's parade. ! It was disappointing, too, on jaturday, to miss seeing sever-il sever-il of the floats which won jrizes on Thursday. What with nearly 1000 young )eople playing softball in the Scera Community recreation yrogram, the crying need is for Additional and better playing fields. Directors Parlell Peterson tnd Evan Baugh are hard-pressed to find adequate room for the various teams and report that two leagues which should be playing twice weekly are limited to one game per week because there is no place to play. f Best answer to the problem seems to be the playing field directly east of the Spencer School. What is now referred to is the "rockpile" might become one of the better diamonds in the area with a little work. Peterson Pet-erson and Baugh even suggest flat a few hours work with a fity road scraper, plus a seeding program in the autumn would provide a fine playground for the Spencer children next year and a first class softball diamond dia-mond a year from now. There is plenty of water for irrigation purposes. i Perhaps the school board and the city would collaborate. We feel certain that the leveling could easily be authorized by the city, while the school board might be happy-to authorize the planting program and the erection erec-tion of a backstop. 1 Who'll write the letter?

E. (Bob) Bullock,' when he asked the county to issue is-sue $5,000,000 in bonds to construct con-struct a system of sewage disposal dis-posal units throughout the county. coun-ty. The bonds to be paid for by a two-mill general tax levy over ov-er a 30-year period- Mr. .Bullock, .Bull-ock, finance chairman of a civic civ-ic committee set up to study the lake pollution problem, made his proposal at a meeting of county and city officials Friday at the commission chambers. Maintenance of the sewage disposal systems would be borne by cities in proportion to tneir use, under the proposal ol Mr. Bullock. Bullock's proposal, however, got a cool reception from most of the city and county officials present at the meeting. Mayor J. W. Gillman declared declar-ed that Orem could take care of its own sewage disposal problem prob-lem "when the time comes"; he said that Provo was the worst offender and that Provo should shoulder the financial load. Other Oth-er officials indicated that they thought individual municipalities municipalit-ies should be responsible for their own systems- The group voted to approve a new survey of costs prior to the next meeting. In a prepared statement Mr. Bullock made the following proposals: pro-posals: "There is only one way our Hisnosal can become a success ful reality in our county because: be-cause: "1. Most of our cities are unable un-able to raise sufficient money to build a disposal and also take care of the mantenance and upkeep. up-keep. "2 A nroiect of this kind will not be successful and will hot rin what we are aiming to unless we have every city in the coun ty participating. "3.

Secretary Chapman s decision on the controversial issue was first made nublic by Senator A. V. Watkins whom the Secretary called personally. "I am extremely happy over Mr. Chanman's decision. 1 think his decison was fully justified, Spnator Watkins said. "Secretary Chapman's action confirms his letter of June 20. tn a letter which I addressed to him on June 10 and in which I asked for an im mediate ruling, he replied that 'I hope to be able in the near future to announce my decision with reeard to this controver sial issue. I am happy to note that his decision came seven days later "His action now means that the Bureau of Reclamation can complete its planning and report. re-port. It means that Utah's dev elopment of the Colorado River can proceed and it gives assurance assur-ance that the complete and ultimate ul-timate development of the river svstem can be achieved. "Mr. Chapman's decision fur ther means that legislation authorizing the project, which I now have before the Congrets, but which has lain dormant because be-cause of ihe lack of a final report re-port from the Bureau of Reclamation Reclam-ation and aDDroval by the states, can be presented to the Con-. gress n 1951. "I shall do everything within my power to see to it that legislation leg-islation authorizing the project not only is introduced next year but that it is favorably considered consid-ered by the Congress- As member of rte Senate Committee Commit-tee on Interior and Insular Affairs, Af-fairs, I believe I am in an excellent ex-cellent position to fight for favorable fav-orable consideration of the authorizing legislation." Bond for Sewage Rehabilitation stem. It is definitely a county over all obligation. "Our cities surround Utah Lake and if it is not cleaned up it can become a great health problem. They will all enjoy the rehabilitation of our lake and streams. It will give them a clean, healthful recreational area. ar-ea. It will replace what is now a dirty, filthy cesspool. "This obligation cannot be charged to any community even though some contribute more to the pollution of our lake. Most every person in our community has contributed and is contributing contrib-uting to this situation. All Must Pay "We have this condition and none of us can say who must pay to clean it up. However, we do know every person in our community will benefit by stopping stop-ping any further pollution. Our lake and streams will come back to a healthy, normal condition without further expense. "My proposed plan to raise this money would be obligation bonds issued by the county to be paid for by a two mill gener al tax levy over a thirty-year period. This would raise ap- Droximtaelv five million doll ars. The county would build the disposal systems and so situate them that all of the cities in the county could use them- The cities using the disposals would be charged proportionately for the waste they put into the disposal- This would take care of the total maintenance and upkeep. up-keep. "Cities who are not connected with the disposal would not have any obligation other than the original cost of the disposals. dispos-als. Health and Recreation Benefit "In the past meetings, it has been mentioned that Deople in our unincorporated areas do not pollute the lake and, therefore, it should not be their responsib ility to clean it up. The average home or farm in our county has an assessed value of $1,500.00 which would mean thev would nav on a two-mill lew $3.00 per year. I feel that they will, with out any other ereat benefit, re ceive a great benefit from me - ional standpoint.
