VOL 47, NO. 15 PROVO, UTAH, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1969 Mayor Dixon To Run for Re-Electi- Red Forces Set for Long War SAIGON on Mayor Verl G. Dixon, who has served for the past two terms as Provo City mayor, has announced his candidacy for reelection to the post. "It's been a real privilege to serve the people of Provo, and I've enjoyed it,' Mayor Dixon said in announcing his candidacy. A lifetime public servant, with most of his service for either Provo City or Utah Dixon has Mayor County, served for the past eight years as the city's mayor. The mayor said it will continue to be his policy to "never shut my door to any citizen of Provo." He added, "I've always had the policy to keeping the office door open, and it is closed only at the request of a citizen who asks to talk in private." Major Improvements Several major city improvements have been made under Mayor Dixon's leadership. The most completed accomplishment has been the building of three new city reservoirs that almost double the capacity of the city water system. The largest of the reservoirs is a five million gallon tank built In Slate Canyon. The others, a three million gallon tank and a 509,000 gallon reservoir, are built in Rock Canyon and they eliminated complete dependence on pumps to supply with water the houses built in the high foothills. The total reservoir capacity in the city has been increased from 11.1 million to 19.6 million. Another major accomplishment is the devepment, with the help of a federal grant, of the west side sewage system, which now serves the Sunset area. The Provo City Power department has been improved with the addition of the Tanner and Gillespie substations, which allow the department to give better service to residents throughout the city. Low Electric Rates Mayor Dixon pointed out that the power improvements have been made with no increase in the charge for electric service. He pointed out that Provo City Power has not increased rates since it was established. Because of the mayor's interest in water problems he has been invited to participate in a panel discussion, Sept. 24, at the American Water Works Association meeting at Sun Valley, Ida. The association meeting will host water experts from all over Utah and Idaho. In addition to the new reservoirs, the city has also drilled two new city wells, one in Edge-mon-t, the other in Rock Canyon, to add to the city's water supply. Both wells have given excellent service.
