A, Holdaway Starts to Plan RECOMMEND MUNICIPAL a Colony of ArmeniansFor LIGHTING PLANT FOR CITY - Fortney City Engineer E. A. Jacob has submitted his annual report to the board of commissioners and In It he gives very definite Information about the present ' condition of the " city from an . engineer standpoint The past history of the city water, sewer, sidewalks and streets is given, showthrough ing the. actual condition which the city has gone to come up to its present condition. He also gives the assessors valuation of . Provo property and corporation property. . In speaking of the highways the engineer says the total length of streets is about 52 miles and the extension of paring sidewalks is 31.52 miles. The extent of curb and gutter Is 1.033 miles. He -- further recommends that the street should be systematically graded under the direction of the city engineer, who should give all grades and deplores the fact that much grading has been done In streets independent of. the streets .adjacent, so that much work" will have to be done over when the city yeachcs a point where to make 'all It becomes necessary grades as near alike as possible A re port is given, on the water sup( ply, showing the amount of work that has been completed by the Kennedy Construction Company ' in bringing the spring water from the canyon to the city and increasing the amount of the supply He states that the new concrete acqueduct is 18,193 feet in length and 27 inches in diameter, with a wall thickness of 4 2 inches of cement plaster. Otbeiv information is given showing the connection of the water system to be complete from the springs in the cannon to the city. In going over, the lighting system of Provo the report shows that there are at present 207 power lights on the streets, which does not light Provo properly. The engineer recommends that the city take definite the construction of a steps .toward x municipal power plant before it loses the opportunity entirely. He states that power reserves are being extensively created by the Federal govern' ment and available power sites are be--' in coming more and more - limited number. He refers to the success Logan has had in its municipal plant and gives .figures showing that that city pays only 10 cents per' power light for lighting, and $1.50 for horse power per month, for power, and atthis figure the plant Is almost self sustaining. . The former, engineer makes many recommendations to the new city commission which mfghV be of great advantage to the city, Jacob has always maintained that the engineer should have charge of all wprk wherein engineering is necessary to carry out the construction Work of the city, and should this be done It would be of considerable value to Provo, as It would then place the city on a basis with other cities where this has been done and has proved to be very satis' , factory. A recommendation lg also made to the city to put the swamp area of the northeastern portion of the town into a drainage system for the purpose of draining the waste water out of that section. He also recommends - that the engineer have charge of the bouse cumbering and that the checking of numbers be made throughout the town and ever? house correctly marked, and that in the future the engineer have the charge Of all this Important work.

He says there is considerable interest taken now in the development of the lands that come under the Strawberry project. Dr. Creer, now-o- f Chicago, but formerly of Payson, has given a contract to have his entire farm, achim' before quired by leaving Payson, broken up this year, preparatory to seeding it next year. Others are following his example. President Page came over to consult irith Engineer Lytel, and after the interview, be said that the government officials give assurances that the .government will be able to deliver 'the water from the. , reservoir, providing .'all': can be .arranged with the waterusers for distribution at the distributing end of the project' This was merely basing the future. work on the progress made in the past There "may beunltoreseen developments in the tunnel, such as water, quicksands, or even gas, as was encountered In the Colorado . project, but barring the unexpected,- the farmers will get the water by 1913.
