PLAN ACTION AGAINST TWO MORTUARIES City Commission Calls Final Hearing On Zoning Changes Three significant motions were passed by city commissioners commis-sioners today, bringing to a head issues which have been debated and deliberated upon for weeks. The motions, in effect, follow: 1. That Provo city contribute con-tribute to the Utah Valley hospital hos-pital corporation a hospital site, and make necessary sewer, drain, and waterworks connections; also that the city provide sidewalk and roadway approaches. Total cost of the land and special improvements im-provements is not to exceed $15,-000. $15,-000. 2. That legal action be taken to immediately close the Claudin and Deseret Mortuaries, and that City Attorney I. E. Brockbank be authorized to proceed with the action. Call Public Meeting 3. That a notice of intention to amend the zoning ordinance be published in the Herald, calling a final public meeting for such purpose pur-pose July 8 at 10 a. m., and that upon such notice the meeting b held and the ordinance amended. Commenting on the hospital contribution, Mayor Mark Anderson Ander-son explained that the city officials offic-ials deemed donating the site and special improvements as better and safer' than making a direct coriotton There- 4s question, he said, whether state legislature would allow the city to make a cash donation. The motion passed today made provision that President F. S. Harris of the Utah Valley Hospital Hos-pital corporation be informed in writing that the $15,000 to be used in purchasing the site and making improvements is in deposit de-posit in the Provo State bank. Long Controversy-Amendment Controversy-Amendment of the zoning ordinance or-dinance will end a long controversy contro-versy in Provo. "There has been a demand for a revision of the Tfinincr nrHinanrv frw o Inner Hma Mayor Anderson said, following today s meeung. Acuon was ae layed because of the Claudin case that was before the Utah supreme court. This case has at least been settled in favor of the city. The hearing set for July 8 will conclude the work on the revision of the zoning ordinance, and also on the entire book of ordinances which has been in course of revision re-vision for months." The Claudin and Deseret mortuaries mor-tuaries have been operating ' in violation of the zoning ordinance. In making decision to close these establishments, it was not the city commission's intention to be arbitrary ar-bitrary or to unnecessarily injure the concerns, the mayor said. Under the circumstances, it was necessary to make some ruling, and it was felt inadvisable to change the zones in a manner to include these mortuaries irr the business zone. At any rate, the stand taken by the commission will bring matters mat-ters to a head, city officials feel. CONGRESSMAN CONNERY DIES WASHINGTON, June 16 (lT The sudden death of Chairman William P.
