Anderson, CPA, to Helper city councilman. The three choices are to continue to put museum funds in the citys general fund, to set up a special revenue fund for the museum or to set up an enterprise fund, he said. Museum funds tend to lose their identity in the citys general fund, he said. A special revenue fund would allow the museum to have a separate bank account for sales revenue, grants and gifts to the museum, Anderson told the council. The city would be able to continue to pay some of the expenses such as utilities, he added. The establishment of an enterprise fund, the third choice, would signal a clean break between the museum and the city and would make the assumption that the museum would become he said. Councilman Bryon Matsuda said a separate fund for the museum would probably encourage donations to the museum and make the grant application process easier. When we apply for grants, J the agencies want to know the finances of the museum and to have an accounting separate from the city budget, he said. City Attorney Bryce Bryner asked if the practice in the past has not been to keep the funds receive diplomas or certificates CEU graduation Over 160 students will receive their diplomas or certificates of at the College of Utahs golden anniversary commencement ceremonies at 10 a.m., Friday, completion Eastern June in the BunnellDmitrich Athletic Center.

Anderson said the city and museum funds 160 to are kept separate as far as possible but under the present system they cannot be kept entirely separate. Councilmen said they will decide which plan to adopt. A public hearing on the one selected will be held in a few weeks on the same date as a public hearing for the budget for the coming year. Permission was given Ray Black for the Elks Lodge to erect a flagpole in the city cemetery. A plaque will also be installed along with the 27-fo- ot pole. The American and Elks flags will be flown on the new pole two or three times a year, he said. A donation of $250 from the Helper Lions Club to help with construction of restrooms in the Locust Street Park was presented to the city by Coun- cilman Pudge Nielsen. The president of the Helper Lions Club is William E. Nielsen. Councilman Nielsen said the Lions Club is also contributing to sending Helper youths to Boys State.

Johansen told councilmen the survey would be helpful in determining the impact the planned ink plant would have on the water system. In other matters, Coun-cilwom- an Lynda Jewkes, representing Eddie Chavez of the Price Jaycees, said the Jaycees want to donate on drums to Wellington to be used as garbage cans. She said the club members would paint them and the city could place them wherever they are needed. A business license for James Cave to do small engine repair was approved. The business license will be issued with the stipulation that Cave obtain a sales tax number within 50 days. A motion by Councilman Jay Storrs that an ordinance be drafted for standards regarding the spacing of fire hydrants and seconded by Councilwoman Eleanor Rasmussen, was passed unanimously.
