February 14, 1947 - DAILY HERALD Mayor Lists 15 Projects For Provd's Future Development Fifteen . projects planned as future improvements for Provo, 'a most of them Immediate but some a part of long range planning, were outlined by Mayor Mark Anderson today in a summary of the city's financial status and needs.

Extensive sidewalk repairs, Krug Inspects Phosphate Beds On Idaho Trip POCATELLO, Ida., Feb. 14 U.R) . i. A. Krug, secretary of the interior, visited here yesterday for a quick look at southeastern Idaho's vast phosphate fertilizer beds. At a news conference Krug started off by explaining that he was in Pocatello to see what can be done about development of America's phosphate supplies. He said that 60 per cent of the country's coun-try's reserves of the valuable material are in the southeastern Idaho area. But two-thirds, he said, comes from Florida and Tennessee. Krug said the shortage of power pow-er was the main drawback to development de-velopment of the Idaho supplies adding that the electric furnace 'method of preparing phosphates ' is considered to be the best but .there is not enough electricity in southeastern Idaho to do the job. He said he plans extensive conferences con-ferences with various interior de-ipartment de-ipartment field workers on the proposition. "This is a golden opportunity to talk to all the agencies at once," he said. "We want to get our department working ; as a .team on production of phosphates." phos-phates." . Regarding the controversial 'proposal for creating of a Columbia Colum-bia Valley Authority, Krug said I such authorities do not work unless un-less people in the area concerned want them. And, he said, the last election seemed to demontsrate i that residents of the Columbia valley are not sold on the proposal pro-posal yet. Kfu? said it would cost S15.- ,'000,000 to bring Bonneville power to southeastern Idaho to roast 1 phosphates. ' Krug left for Yakima, Wash., this morning where he will par ticipate in ceremonies in ob-'servance ob-'servance of final payment on the jhuge Tieton reclamation project.

Preliminary work on airport dike, with state aid. 3. Construction of Timpanogos school underpass, $4,00 for city's portion. 4. Finishing cemetery roads and walks, $10,000. 5.

Foot bridge and lookout tow er at lake harbor. "Among major improvements needed that are too costly to be paid for from current revenues, but for which general bonds must be sold, we have the following," the mayor said. 1. Opening and widening Ninth East street from north city limits to the Springville road, $50,000. 2. 'City compound and fire station, to cost about $200,000, the major part of which must be financed fi-nanced by a general bond issue with help from the electric and waterworks departments. a.V'A road system below the tracks in the industrial area of the city. 4. "The city's share of the airport air-port dike and road will cost Pro vo city at least $25,000. The total cost of airport dike including fed eral and state aid will total more than $100,000. 5. "Land still to be paid for in the airport area is estimated to cost about $40,000 in cash after all possible adjustments and 'ex changes have been made. 6. "Surfacing of lower end of lake harbor road to cost $10,000. 7. "A sewage disposal plant. Estimates on the cost of such a plant vary greatly. The problem is being studied and it is possible that a solution may be found that will not be beyond Provo's financial finan-cial ability. Preliminary estimates range from $150,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the type of plant used. Waiting actual construction, we must reserve ample acreage near the sewer outfall for sewage disposal. "I have discussed only projects that must be financed with general gen-eral funds. As materials become available extensive improvements will progress on waterworks, electric and special improvement! districts aiso. The fact that the city's 1946 financial picture ended with a far greater surplus than expected expect-ed resulted from two factors, the mayor said. First, revenues far exceeded original estimates in nearly all instances, and second, city officials "hesitated to do a number of improvement jobs that should have been done, thinking at the beginning of 1946 that revenues would decline rather than increase." Problems that will face the fruit grower in 1947 will be the main topics of discussion Saturday Satur-day when Utah county horticulturists horticul-turists meet in the city and coun ty building for a day-long con- ventionf The first session opens at 10 a. m. and the afternoon convention conven-tion begins at 1 -p. m. and all Utah county fruit growers are urged by Clarence D.

Stark, and the discussions will be on various problems facing the fruit grower. Certain to come up foV discussion discus-sion is the uses to which DOT may be put in spraying of fruit trees. Also high on the list are quarantine and inspection regulations regula-tions that will come up for discussion. dis-cussion. Market prospects, labor, legislation legis-lation to aid fruit growers and artificial polination are other subjects listed by Mr. Ashton that will probably be brought up at the convention.

Lilienthal as chairman of the atomic energy commission ap peared to be lengthening. Sen ate sources said only strong backing by Senate President 'Ar thur H. Vandenberg could have the appointment. Vandenberg re mained silent. The biggest congressional battle bat-tle of the moment was over GOP-proposed GOP-proposed budget cuts for .tax re duction and debt payment pur poses. Rep. John D. Dingell, D., Mich., proposed that legislative commit tee exempt the armed forces from cuts which their spokesmen have declared would be disastrous to U. S. domestic security and for eien policy. But the committee turned down this prqposal as it did, by a 42-27 vote, a Democratic recommenda tion that it open its deliberations to the public. It agreed, however, to vote lat er in the day on a proposal by Chairman Chan Curney'of the senate sen-ate armed, services committee to limit budget cuts to $4,150,000, 000 instead of $6,000,000,000. Congressional labor committees heard a spate of testimony. Mo vie producer Cecil B. DeMille, who once lost a radio show job because he refused to pay a $1 union assessment, asserted the closed shop should be abolished Other facts of the labor pic ture included: A recommendation by Grant L Cook, Detroit attorney, that la bor and management privileges be equalized without penalizing either side. A request by Almon E. , Roth president of the National Federation Federa-tion of American Shipping, that his industry be exempt from any legislation outlawing the closed shop. A statement by Chairman Fred A. Hartley of the house labor committee that his group will complete a labor bill "as fast as we can." An assertion by Detroit Judge George B. Murphy that some employers em-ployers shared responsibility for labor racketeering because they tried to bribe union officials to give them better terms than their Driver In Fatal Auto Accident Asks Probation Dr. Grant Boyd Harris, 34, 468 South Second West, entered a plea of guilty to charges of involuntary in-voluntary manslaughter in district dis-trict court today, and followed it with a request that he be placed on probation for the offense. , Harris was the driver of the car which allegedly caused the death of Ernest (Tobe) McClellan, fay-son fay-son farmer, on January 15 in Payson.

CIO officials in Provo today said the contract between local 2701 and the Geneva Steel com Danv will be negotiated here, but that fundamental issues will be tied in with the national nego tiations at Pittsburg and that a Geneva worker will undoubtedly be sent to Pittsburg to represent the local when active negotiations are resumed.

Of interest to all Geneva and Ironton workers, and to the coun ty and state as a whole, is the statement recently made in Pro vo by James G. Thimmes, vice president, USA-CIO, concerning the national negotiations between the union and U. S. Steel: "The proposals advanced by the USA-CIO are being thoroughly discussed in these negotiations, although no agreement has yet been reached. "Our proposals call for a general gen-eral wage increase to meet the high cost of living. We believe the steel industry can well-afford the increase and we expect the next report on profits in the industry to be a record-breaker. "Other proposals we are making call for improvements improve-ments in working conditions. "The extension of our agreements agree-ments in the basic steel industry was made in an effort to help stabilize our economy and afford ample time to reach a cordial understanding un-derstanding on all issues."

When the child was discovered, all efforts to revive him failed. He was rushed to a Spanish Fork hospital, where William Perry, chief engineer of the city fire department, and Firemen Owen Rowe and William Crump worked work-ed for nearly an hour with a resuscitator trying to revive him. The Nelson family was visiting with the Partridges, and when last seen alive, the child was playing with other children in the yard. When the rest of the children came into the house without the little boy, a search was made and he was discovered in the septic tank at the rear of the house. He is survived by his parents, and one sister, Elaine Nelson. NEED THESE MATERIALS!
