The report by 31shop Storrs fol lows On the 9th. day of June, 1929, the Bishopric of the American Fork Second ward, in regular session of Sacrament meeting of the members of the ward, presented the problem of meeting the new plans of activity activi-ty as outlined by the General Authorities Auth-orities of the Church with the existing ex-isting facillities offered by the present pres-ent building accomodations. It was pointed out that to be able to make a success of the plan it -would be necessary for the ward to have an Amusement Hall in connection with the Ward Meeting house. The matter of finances ln connec tion with such a plan was brought up and explanation made that Brother John L. Firmage and his good wife were willing to meet one- half the cost of the building of the Amusement halL and the Trustee and Trust of the church would appropriate ap-propriate the other one-half to com plete the entire building cost of the Amusement HalL By a unanimous vote of the mem bers present it was decided that the entire membershio of the ward would assume the obligation of fi nancinr th remodelinc Of the chapel to make it ln harmony with the new Amusement Hall, and to furnish adlquate class rooms to take care of all" the activities of all the. organizations of the ward.

He stated definitely, however, that ac cording toTEe-rulIng of the construction Board, ho funds were available for power plants which would operate - in competition to established systems. Inasmuch as the city had two other projects in view at the present time, consideration on the possiblli ty of aid under Title Two was held up pending the outcome of the pro jects in question. T)r (I. a. RichardjreeentjUso by invitation, reported that the pro- Dosed project in American Fork canyon was being held up on ac count of the attitude of Mr. Higgs and a mining syndicate, through whose patented mining claim the nroriosed road would go. and that the Forest Service would not proceed pro-ceed until this matter was adjusted. Councilman W. S. Storrs and Re corder Thomas A. Barratt were instructed in-structed to arrange a meeting be tween th county commission, the city and its committees and Mr. Higgs with the purpose of adjusting whatever claim Mr. Higgs might have. The Forest Service recently set aside $62,000 to be expended in road improvement in American Fork canyon.

He statea that the state commission had de termined on the route to be auired on the west end of American Fork, but was at a loss to know where to proceed on the east end of the city. The council at this point went on record as favorable to the extension of the state road east along Mam atreet to the Railroad company's right-of-way, thence southeast along the right-of-way to tne present hiehway. and that a committee be appointed by Mayor Anderson to so notify the state commiamuu. the enrollment ln the schools will be more nearly complete.
