Positive leadership Is the prime requisite for building good character, model cities, well government and successful business. Back To 1943 con-troll- ed The leadership that pays dividends Is the leadership rich that recognizes the great need for public service before self service. Good political leadership Is the greatest need of our times. Faced with the almost Insurmountable task of providing needful services for public health and welfare various government officials, , succumb to the Idea that the taxpayer will pay and pay all tax without protest, and burdens levied against them. oft-tim- es The modern philosophy - keep up with the Jones's - Is hitting the taxpayer's pocketbook more than ever before.

Following Is a history of Granite Park, prepared by C. Earl A Is op, president of the Central Salt Lake County Improvement League, and read by him at the annual meeting of the League held September 7 at the Blaine school. The kame of the League was changed at the meeting to the Granite Park Civic League: During the month of August, 1943, our first mass meeting was held for the purpose of organizing a civic league. Those present resolved to organize and a committee was appointed to effect the organization. In September the second meeting was held at which time the civic league was organized. The purpose of the league was to make a survey of the needs of the community and take steps to secure the improvement that would benefit and contribute to the welfare of all the people In the area and that would remove many of the health hazards. The league was to cover the area from Mill creek to Murray city limits and from 5th East to the Jordan river. The survey conducted suggested the following Improvements: Drainage of all high water areas; filling In 9f all unsightly and dangerous ditches; Ughtes to be Installed In various darkened sections; sewage disposal facilities; recreation and community park; sidwalks and culinary water. During the two years past we have secured lights on West Temple and Second West streets. Drainage project on West Temple, part of which has been completed, the balance being under construction. We have definite assurance that this work will be completed within the next four to six weeks. Monday morning a contractor Is to start at 33rd South. Money has been collected for 3200 South Street drain, which Is scheduled to be completed before winter sets In. No work can be done on this drain until the West Temple drain Is completed. Surveys have been finished on the Mansfield avenue dracn and will become part of the north east drainage project. Petitions have been signed and presented to the County Commission for drainage of the southeast sectioif from 33rd South to 4050 South. This project will become part of the postwar program of Salt Lake county. A 9 12 acre park site located at 3700 South Main Street has been ' purchased at a cost of approximately $5400. The deed to this property was signed and delivered to Commissioner George Morgan at the home of Mary Helm Cromwell In July 1945. During this time an option has been secured on the three acres immediately adjoining the park belonging to Nick Julian. Fences have been removed Salt Tt B 2 and 1945 set on the property line, giving it a park area of 12 12 acres. drawn for building a recreation center. These plans are only outlines of the possibilities for this program. Ninety loads of gravel have now been hauled on the ball diamond by the county road department. Grading and other Imwill commence as soon as labor and materials are provements available. Preliminary Investigations have been made on culinary water, which we hope will materialize In securing an adequate supply In the near future. During the Christmas holidays the Valley Center, Eldredge and Miller ward choirs gave concerts that were broadcast from the Miller ward chapel. This experiment may prove valuable to us as we move forward with our program. Santa Claus appeared for the kiddles on Christmas eve, 1944, and distributed candy and nuts to all present. Also, 500 bags of candy and nuts were given to the Salt Lake U.S.O. for soldier boys during the holiday week. During the past two years mqny suggestions have come to us to our particular civic center a name to designate it from other give centers near by. In accord with this, a contest has been held and a committee chosen representing various groups has met and selected the name for your approval here to night. A $25 war bond will be awarded the winner of the contest. A vote of thanks should be given to L. C. Lee, Nick Julian, Len-ar- d Aamodt, L. W. Singleton, Arthur Anderson, eorge Dlmond, D. F.
