The building of a Civic Center in the Salt Lake Valley should be carefully considered for the population centered South East section. Along this same line of thinking has come the opinion of need for a large private hospital in the Sugar House area. In view of the shift of population to this area of the city the need arid feasability of such an enterprise vastly increases. Among other Community im-provement that residents may consider is the construction of additional recreational facilities. Such might take the form of tennis courts, park tables, and even an indoor public swimming pool. .With the new freeway planned through the south east area a tourist information center would help greatly to tell the travel-ing public what is offered in Sugar House and the State of Utah. Survey Chairman, Jay E. Jen-sen, and his committee, Richard Moench, Frank H. Bjorndal, and Gerald 'Tim Whitaker invite the people of the area to submit their ideas and suggestions. The South Independent proud-ly joins the Sugar House Junior Chamber of Commerce in urging support for this survey. We offer as a motto for this survey to: "3IAKE SUGAR HOUSE GREAT in '58.'
