Holger M. Larsen Holger M. Larsen, for 30 years manager of Deseret Industries, has been elected the new executive secretary of the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce. He was named this week at a meeting of the board of directors. Mr. Larsen has been with Des-eret Industries since the program began, in 1938. He served as man-ager for 10 years and then became co-mana- when it grew too big for one man to handle. His new position with the Chamber will be nothing new. He was secretary several years ago "when there were hardly any members," He has been in and around Sug-ar House for about 17 years and has been a Chamber member for the last 15 years. He will begin his seventh term soon as secretary of the Sugar House Rotary and is a member of the Bonneville Knife and Fork Club. Well acquainted with Sugar House, Mr. Larsen will begin as the new secretary immediately. He looks for no serious problems. "I know practically everybody in Sugar House and everybody knows me," he declared. D. James Cannon, who is retir-ing from the post to become di-rector of the Utah State Tourist and Publicity Council, will stay on for another 15 days to acquaint Mr. Larsen with his new duties. Simpson Ave. Scheduled In Road Projects The Simpson Ave. link from Highland Dr. to 9th East Street has been included in a $352,817 Salt Lake City Class C road program.

The city earmarked $42,000 from the program funds for the Simp-son Ave. project. The distance of the new roadway is approximately 552 yards, city officials said. Sugar House businessmen have long sought the new roadway to ease traffic congestion on 21st South and Highland Dr. and to provide motorists in the area more maneuverability. Three other projects in the southeast area are also included in the newly-adopte- d schedule. Construction and surfacing of a new roadway on 17th South from 17th East to Wasatch Dr. is plan-ned. It will cost $34,786.

Talks Continue On Indian Hills School Plans for the new Indian Hills Elementary School suffered a minor setback at last week's meet-ing of the Salt Lake City Board of Education. The board, on the grounds that the building would be far too costly as designed, rejected all bids on the proposed schooL Officials decided to call on the buildings and grounds department to study the school plans for poss-- " ible changes or even a completely new design. They said that because of the hilly area designated for the school they expected the new school might cost $40,000 to $60,000 more than another of comparable size. However, the total of the low base bids was $689,770, nearly $210,000 more than the normal construction costs of a comparable building. It was estimated by Warren R.
