SALT LAIC Cirr, UTAH GejVEVa STm plant ft n n it n Orem-Geneva Times Canal Safety, "C" Project ?d that the ditch had been dam-ged dam-ged in the past because of cutting cut-ting through it for the laying of water, sewer and gas lines due to construct'on of new homes along this street. It was pointed out that the better way to have served both the irrieation company and the new home owners with small children, would have been to pipe the open irrigation ditch rather than the open cemem project but the piping project was too costly for the ditch owners to handle by themselves since the home property owners allegedly did not want to share the cost. The canal r epresentatives asked that any further instal-lat;ons instal-lat;ons of city services water, sewer, or gas, should be tunneled tun-neled under the ditch rather than through it. They also mentioned men-tioned two or three culverts which should be checked by the city. Covering of this ditch by a cement sidewalk for better safety was recently proposed as part of Special Improvement District "C". However, the majority ma-jority of the property owners protested the 12th North pro ject. An amicable solution is is being attempted by the council coun-cil and this matter will be studied further. The council decided after a discussion with Lincoln Ure on the Special Improvement District "C", project, that cit zens will have until Feb. 3rd at 5 p. m. to petition for any changes on this project. . At the time of the Public hearing in December, it appeared appear-ed that if certain changes were made on some phases of the disputed dis-puted sections, that the adjoin ing property owners in these areas would be in favor and endorse the particular projects which had been proposed for the best good of the community. Of the 10 projects included in the disjrict, most of the projects were approved by the owners. rvH Guidance Clinic Report On Current Drive The paid-in and pledged contributions con-tributions to the Utah County Child Guidance Clinic Fund, during its current drive, now total approximately $6000., according ac-cording to Dean Worlton, Le hi, president of the board of directors. The clinic, long plagued by financial problems, has been able to remain in operation and can continue to do so if citizens of Central Utah will support the clinic in the manner in which they have during the past few months, Mr. Worlton said. The clinic fund is really an emergency stop-gap device set up to keep the cl'nic in opera tion until additional state, fed eral and grant-in-aid funds can be obtained. However, Mr. Worlton pointed out, the service these funds are paying for are doing untold good for the pre sent and future citizens of the communities of Central Utah Work is being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible in prepar ation for coming state legisla tive sess'ons which could conceivably con-ceivably make the clinic a part of State Health Department operations. A meeting held in Provo last week of city and county health officials and civic leaders pre pared recommendations for submission sub-mission to the State Health De partment for inclusion in its program for enabling leg'sla- tion. The clinic, which to date has operated on private donations from ind'viduals, groups, bus inesses, industries and cities and funds obtained from county and state agencies on a use-bas's cannot maintain itself on the fees paid by its patrons.
