Well Oh9 A Its Just 9 Another $1189.10 Salt Lake County bought two weed mowing machines Tuesday morning, for $3328.55 each. The low bid was S2, 734.00 each. The low bidder promised 30 day delivery, the higher bidden 7 days. The county said they needed the mowers Immediately. The two mowers replaced two old ones which happened to go on the blink at the same time. William L. Prather, of the County Roads and Bridges department told the Review that one cannot predict when a mowing machine Is going to give out - they just give out. Therefore with this Item it was impossible to plan ahead, and the county spent an extra $1189.10, because an emergency , jjtuation existed. :The department had repaired the old machines until they couldn't be repaired any more.

There are stalwarts, hie J. Bracken Lee, who Is still Republican, and still commands a loyal following. But GOP members running tor county commission last November put op a lackluster showing.

Drainage problems not connected with flooding cause serious probL ..s to Salt Lake home owners as well The case of Floyd Young 7450 South 6th East is an example. Mr. Campbell says to a certain extent its a case of the buyer being beware. Mr. Young would like to know how that is possible when the water is not there on purchase of the house, and the buyer assumes the county Jus required drainage standards. Shortly after Mr. Young moved into his home his basement began to fill with ground water - it has been there ever since, for three years.

"Our American system encourages us to air our gripes and differences in the open, so that only tested majorities emerge. The variety and size of our system makes it nearly impossible to communicate even under the best conditions -- very impossible when it lacks candor and good will, he said. Dr. Maxwell pointed out that we not only need blood spilled for our flag by those few called to do so, but also we need those people who are willing to donate the sweat off their brow.

The , similar to this, (Continued from Page 1) current, and continuing activity of this flood control group consists of cleaning and clearing ditches, flumes and drains. Much of this preventive and stop-ga- p work will need to continue next year. In addition work must begin, according to all parties involved, on permanent drains to collect water to prevent future floods. This permanent work will eventually cost about $50 million, according to A, H. Sorenson, designers of the Master storm drainage plan, which has been accepted, but not adopted by Salt Lake County.
