Show The Charity auction Weather Coming up " Plans are under way for the third annual Price Kiwanis Charity Radio Auction which will be held Sunday, April 13. The general committee is composed of Gary Prazen, John Scotty Houston and Joe Mason. ' Within the next week members of the club will be callarea for ing upon the business houses of the Price-Helpmerchandise contributions to the auction. The sponsoring organization asks that all prospective Contributors keep in mind that all proceeds from the auction go to the Ann Self (Opportunity) Training Center to which the club has contributed over $3000 in the past two years. We ask that merchants be generous because the value of the contributed merchandise is offset by the radio and newspaper advertising they receive, Mr. Mason stated. Contributed items should be in usable condition. Any individual wishing to contribute to this auction is asked to call Houston Furniture Co., Mr. Mason, or Robert Finney, vr -- v Watershed snow Depth above norm Snow accumulation on the Price River watershed continues to be far above normal, reports Floyd G. Bailey, district conservationist for the USDA, Soil Conservation Service. Frequent storms during February continued to build the snow pack on all snow courses on the watershed. The higher snow courses at Gooseberry Reservoir and Mammoth Ranger Station did not receive as much snow in February as the lower courses near Clear Creek and Scofield, he added. ' The snow pack measurements taken by Snow Surveyor John Esplin are as follows: THE VOICE Volume 78 et prediction period. According to Mr. Bailey, 1952 was a year well remembered by the waterusers of Carbon County. It was in 1952 that heavy spring runoff caused extensive flood damage to the Country Club golf course and most diversions on streams within the county. Due to the possibility of flooding this spring, all water-user- s and residents along the Price River would be wise to take precaution to protect their property and diversions before the spring runoff begins, concluded Mr. Bailey. THE SCRIBBLER The gall of it all! Departing from the business of setting a $1,600,000 bond election, the trustees of the Price River Water Improvement District meeting Monday night recognized the absence of their chairman, S. V. Litizzette, who is hospitalized in Chicago, by adopting the following resolution which was dispatched to the The Board of Trustees Windy City: and officers of the Price River Water Improvement District adopted a motion at the meeting held March 3 conveying to you our best wishes for a speedy recovery and safe journey back to Utah. This resolution passed by a vote of 4 to 3, one abstaining. Incidently, the trustees declined to be polled individually on their votes.

All signatures had to be notarized by a notary public who accompanied the canvassers in the drive. According to Mr. Dalpiaz, many more signatures could have been obtained, but once the drive exceeded the required figure with enough names to cover possible disqualifications, it was pointless to secure more; the decision will now be made by the voters on April 29. Predictions as to the outcome of the vote next month seem to favor approval of the ordinance although the canvass taken by the gas company last fall in regards to the number of people desiring the gas service showed only slightof the possible ly less than 40 connections ready to sign for the service. These figures included both business and industrial users as well as residential.

This was the last year nurses worked 12 hours a day in Utah. Salaries begans at $100 per month, in 1932, this was dropped to $30 per month! In Nov., 1934, the hospital was moved into a new building, north of the city park, seemingly a long way from town. There were 33 beds, carts for food trays, 12 nurses and many improvements. That was the year Mrs. Forsyth began her long career in obstetrics, and she assisted Dr. Ernest Gianotti with the first delivery in the brand-nehospital, when a daughter was born to Mr, and Mrs. John Menotti. Another change came with 1959, when the O.B. Division moved into the new building it now occupies, with equipment and surgical delab, partments.

(Continued on Page Two) The resolution previously adopted calling for a $1,550,000 bond election was officially rescinded and the new resolution adopted. This new resolution for a larger bond issue was necessitated by the grant of $345,000 from the Tour Corners Regional Commission which was $30,000 under the figure originally expected. It was upon a $375,000 expectation from Four Corners that the original resolution was adopted. The Monday night meeting was conducted by William J.

As the financial picture now stands, the estimated cost of the project is set at $3,087,500 of which the $87,500 is for interim interest costs during construction. Financing will come from three government grants, connection fees and funds on hand. The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration will provide $464,000, the Housing and Urban Development Administration $617,000 and Four Corners $345,000. Five hundred connection fees at $200 each is expected to net $100,000 and $82,000 will come from funds on hand, making a total of $1,608,-00- 0. This leaves $1,479,500 to be financed locally. Based on these estimated figures, the $1,600,000 bond issue will provide $120,500 in excess of what will be required and this, as Mr. Welsh stated, will serve as a buffer to pay for unexpected costs or can be withheld from the actual bond issue if not needed. sociation.
