High water and the possibility if a flood in Payson was one of the chief topics of discussion at the regular meeting of the city counul Monday night. Melvin Wilson, chairman of the irrigation committee, and Orrice Wilson, watermaster, presented the matter to the city councilmen and tsated that everything was being done to protect the city from the danger of a disastrous flood in case of excessive high water because of the heavy snow fall this past winter. The ditches are all clean and arrangements are made to take caie of a flow of about 250 acre feet of water. Should we get more water that that it may be necessary to use ihe irrigation ditches to take care of the excess water. High water generally starts about the middle of April. A close watch will be kept on the situation and should it appear that the runoff will reach Good proportion, a mass meeting will be called to discuss the situation and to make preparation to take care of a possible flood.

McCoy, Payson presiding. New officers elected It the meeting for the coming year are, 'Don J. McCoy, Payson, President and Mrs. Harold Walker, Pleasant Grove, Vice President.

It being the definite opinion of the group that much can and should be done in the voluntary health field. Dr. C. M. Smith talked briefly about water contamination in the county and 'explained the proposed program of the State on culinary water. He also briefly discussed the subject of Well-Bab- y Clinics in the county.

He also made brief state ment son the work Sanitarans in the County under the City-Cou- n er City-Coun- - ty Health Department. ty Council Takes Steps Tells of ; the the. SUBSCRIPTION 21, 1952 Add to Suiral Such increases, if made to one group, ought to be given to all he declared, and if groups, you do that you are right back to where you started because the increases will only add more to the inflation spiral. Heavy taxing and spending polices of the federal government are only accelerating inflation, Gov. Lee charged. If the federal government would make the same sacrifices that it is asking the people to make, inflation could be licked, he said. Instead of seeing governmental sacrifices and economy, we are continuing to see waste and extravagance, and the Office of Price Stabilization Office here in Utah is a good example. Loveless, Republican Jack chairman, and Bishop Delphin Hiatt, of the West ward, commented on the success of the banquet and on the cooperation between the church organization and the Republican party in making the project a success. The ward will clear about $1200 on the banquet which will be used in the construction of the wards new church.

It now remains for the property owners .of Utah County, (including Payson City) to accept or reject the creation of such a district. The council took a definite stand against the creation of such a district, as is now proposed under the present law for these several reasons: i 1 The state law allows a maximum levy of 4 mills against ' ' property owners in the district. 2. Property owners who prove that they are not benefited withdraw from the program. may 3. Power of control of operating sewer plants is taken out of the hands of the cities and is given to a control board composed of 21 men. 4. Members of the legislature who were instrumental in 1 getting the law passed feel that the law is inadequate and poorly written and should be given more study and rewritten. 5. The program ties the cities up for a period of thirty ' years. The council recognized the need of erecting sewage disposal units in an urgent need to clean up the polution of Utah Lake. They agreed that the one mill levy as proposed by the plan for the erection of the disposal plants was rather equitable since it will be to the advantage of everyone in the county to h?ve the lake cleaned up, and it is true that county people dp uke city sewage facilities of the city. But the law permitting a levy up to 4 mills and the possibility that many property owners dan and probably will withdraw from under the district, thereby obviously increasing the mill levy' to those who remain, proipptpcl action against v thj' present prov posal. . authority to administer the kffairs of the district would be taken from the jurisdiction of the f-T- he Adult Child Psychology Class Continues The adult class in child psychology at Taylor school, which has been well attended, will continue through 5 more sessions, according to an announcement made today by Mrs. Max Stewart chairman.
