Kirby, Kanab in charge of the project, for a rufT down on Councilmen City facts. In his usual capable manner, we believe, he offers our readers complete summary of facts, as well as food for more constructive thought on improving our city. Ka-na- The Sewer System The sewer lines in the streets are now nearly complete. There remain several lines to go across Highway 89, a few laterals yet te be dug, and general cleaning up and replacing gravel and oil mix. The lines have to be flushed out and i ns p e c t e d before homes and commercial users can, connect. It should be emphasized that users should not make the final connection until they have an inspection certificate and approval of the connection by the city engineer. One illegal connection can foul up several city blocks of the system and cause a great deal of delay. The Water System The 10 inch water mains from Cave Lake Canyon to thg Kanab Creek Bridge and the 12 inch mains from there to. the north city limits have now been completed by Stratton Brothers of Hurricane and are in use at the present time. The funds from this canyon syslem were paid for entirely from money saved on the low bids on the water and sewer system inside the city. These large canyon mains will not only give Kanab City h tremendous storage capacity but eliminate the necssity of an expensive pumping plant to give necessary pressure. L. A. Creer Co., Provo, is now installing the 12 inch mains that cross Kanab from Highway 89 across second north and down first east to the south city limits. This should be completeed in a few days and then the six inch" mains will be connected to feed from that line. Other smaller lines will then be connected. The contracting company has until August to complete this but feel that they will not need that much time. The Sewer Disposal Plant Work is about 95 per cent com plete on the sewer disposal plant reau. City Dump A bill passed by the last Utah legislature makes it mandatory that Kanab find a new city dump.

What do you suggest? The regional director of the Housing and Home Finance who inspects similiar projects all over the West Is very pleased with the Kanab Project. He says the people here have suffered less inconvenience for a shorter length of time than any other project in his territory. Most people have cooperated very well and have been most patient with the dirt and delay caused by this project. There are a great many problems that need solving here in Kanab in addition to the water and sewer system.
