Conducting the conference for Roy Stake will be Henry A. Matis, stake president. Floyd D. Fowers, Lake View president, will be in charge of their con ference. Sundays general sessions, to which the public is invited, will During the past two weeks the Jaycees have constructed a king size refreshment booth at the Roy Park. Jaycee president, Clark Puffer stated that the stand cost approximately $275. Present plans call for the stand to get a coat of white paint. Hungry and thirsty ball fans Courtroom Building Is Underway The Roy City building i undergoing some interior remodeling. Conclusion of the project will see a courtroom for Roy as well as expanded office space for the police department. Interrogation Room The Justice of the Peace will also have a separate office or judges chambers. An interrogation room, badly needed by the local police, will be constructed. The overall redesigning project was approved by the city council' at its regular Monday meeting. Funds for the project are coming from the Public Safety department. Prior to the remodeKng the space was used as a classroom area for an overflow of students from Roy Municipal school. Problem Is Solved Construction of the new facilities will alleviate what has been a serious problem. During meetings of the city council and planning commission the Justice of the Peace was forced to use one of the other city offices. Another bad situation was the fact that persons waiting to see the judge were forced to wait in the lobby of the city building. This caused a hardship in the conduct of normal city business. The Roy police were cramped into one small office. Officials agreed that a city police department in a community of ten thousand needed a little more space than the one office afforded.

Best Ballpark Half of the proceeds will go towards the betterment of the Roy Park and the community , Mr. Puffer said. Funds to build the booth were donated by the Roy Jaycees and the city council. Mr. Puffer also took an opportunity to remind citizens of this area that Roy has the finest lighted ball park with the largest backstop in all of Weber County.

It probably will take several years before it can be used by the general public throughout the nation. Phone Number Switch Causes a Bit of Confusion One of the busiest numbers in the telephone company is 113. The number 113 gives the caller information. The national all number call system is being brought to Roy and th eeffect is not a small one. The former EXport and TAylor prefixes are being replaced with an 82 prefix. This results in a seven digit phone number. Nobody south of 4800 South will be excused from remembering the new seven digit. number. Remember Fire Number The Roy City offices and the police have not even escaped. Roy firemen ruefully rememan ardent bered campaign waged to instill the EXport number into the minds of citizens. Now they look forward to going through the same thing with Roy fire chief Orlen Karras rged everyone to write down he 825 6621 number. Better days are coming though. Telephone company officials have stated that a new phone book is on the presses and its publication will save a lot of remembering. The new numbers are being removed from cables of the phone company's Ogden office and will be placed on the Clear' field exchange. Roy is the first step in a long process, which will See fill phones on the Ogden exchange placed on the national dialing system. The new system will permit long distance dialing.

A chuckhole filled and generally run down stretch of 4800 South running between 2025 West and 2324 West is due for resurfacing immediately if not sooner. Roy City will meet the costs of resurfacing of 22 of the approximate 36 foot wide road way. This will leave an approximate seven foot gap on each side of the road between its edge and property lines. Property ' owners concerned will meet a 50 cent per linear running foot cost to pay for resurfacing the seven foot area. Mayor 0. Dean Parker indicated that all property owners had agreed to pay the 50 cent cost, but two. These owners will not have their areas resurfaced," the Mayor said. The contractor will completely rip out the old surface, level the road and finish the job up by pacing a new blacktop coating on it. Funds for the improvement were granted to Roy City on the strength of a city application for an advance in its share of State B&C money. The money is derived from the sale of license plates throughout the state and apportioned out to various townships. The money is normally used for street and road maintenance. project will end an era complaints for some . Roy Cbtmcil members.
