Weber Canal Mr J. Christensen, canal rider for the Davis Company, feels that the early pioneers, constructing the canal by hand, didn't have as much trouble servicing the farmers in Davis and Weber Countie.. with water than, as the canal company does nowadays. , It takes four to five men, on call day and nighl, to keep the and rubbish thrown in by unthinking ' waterways cleared of individuals, who think that because it is a running stream that tlieir refuge will eventually be carried away to where, it doesn't exactly matter just as long as it is away from their place. For example, recently a tree had been pushed into the canal and consequently damned the water so that instead of going into the proper channel, it flooded the land belonging to another farmer Efforts to pull the tree out with a truck and a heavy chain proved to no avail and so Mr. Christensen and the men helping him had to stand in the water waste deep, and saw the obstruction into pieces before it could be removed. Tne esna. company warns that arrest and a stiff penalty awaits the ofender who is caught throwing anything into the waterway. p bnh Council accepts Bid on Council Okay's Street Truck New Water manner. Block-o- ff Councilman Sparrow pointed out that Parley Oleson, Park Superintendent, could handle the job of care taking as there is a lull in his work during the winter months. Mayor Rapp added that several civic clubs had volunteered to build a fence around the proposed rink. The council voted that if the money could be located construction could begin as planned. City Council Monday night voted to accept a bid of $1863 75 from the Mills Equipment Co. of North Layton on a new Intruck for the ternational pick-ucity Water Dept. Four bids were submitted to the council for approval, each with the stipulation that the old 1950 Chev truck, now in use by the city be turned in.

Dee Sparrow, who is in charge of the city's park, to build an Ice skating rink at the Munii cipal Park, The rink will be constructe4 over the existing tennis courts which are located behind the City Building. Counciman Sparrow stated that he and Mayor Charles W. Rapp recently visited a similar project in Huntsville and added that it had worked out very successfully. He pointed out that the rink would double in the summer time as a Basketball court and Square Dance area. One court would not be large enough he continued and the approximate cost for the 100 xl20 foot area would be about $2000. Councilman Charles F. Hull felt that a small charge would help keep the rink in an orderly of Roys Volunteer Fire Department recently elected Charles W. Robins. 2174 W 5700 S., the new assistant fire chief.

M tsunderstending During the course of the discussion members of the delegation continued to refer to the project as a trailer park or court. Thomas J. Brimhall, representing the firm which had purchased the property, endeavored, to point out that th project would be a Mobile Ho&ve Subdivision and not A Mobile Trailer park, that it would have streets, curb and gutter, and park facilities in it. He added that many of the people in the meeting had a misunderstanding of what the project would be, and really didn't have as big a problem as they thought they had. In Completion Mayor Rapp asked that Mr. Brimhall present preliminary plans of the subdivision to the Planning Commission in its next meeting, to aid them in making their decision. er, concerning fire hazards at the fill, and improvements on the dog pound. He asked that the exsisting weeds and trash which surround the trench on city property be burned to eleminate any possible spread of fire when the trash was being burned. The matter of pound improvements was mainly something to control the number of unclaimed dogs turned loose at the pound. One final request was for the city to allow him $50 a month to hire someone to take care of the fill full time. He pointed gut that up to this time he had paid for help out of his own pocket, and would add his money to what the city gave him to get a good assistant for the job. , very near future it would be filled up. and an extention of the trench would not only eleminate this problem but would also make it possible for further use of the present road.
