Banking and Commerce committee of the senate favorably, and referred to the sifting committee. Mr. Billings is chairman of the banking and commerce committee and undoubtedly used his good influence in obtaining the favorable report. Since he is also chairman of the sifting committee he will continue his efforts there, so the bill stands a good chance of getting to the floor of the senate for debate, it is felt. Funeral services were held Wednesday in the Myton L. D. S. Ward chapel for Leona Rose Montgomery, five year old daughter of Edward and Nora McFee Montgomery, who died February 19 at the L. D. S. hospital at Salt Lake City of the intemall of hemorrhage carotid artery. The little girl had been ill for about a month with a throat infection which settled tn the gland in her neck finally disintegrating the artery wall. Seven blood transfusions failed to save her life. The services were under the direction of Bishop Lynn Stone of Myton. Invocation was offered by Eldon Wall.

Stillbirths showed a noticeable increase, the total being 23 for the state as compared to 14 in October and 19 in November. In December, seven of these stillbirths were due to prematurity. So far as the last three months are concerned, syphilis has not been given as a cause of stillbirth. Syphilis has not been associated with the stillbirth because a routine blood test has not been done on the mother before the birth of her baby. Perhaps syphilis has been Fourth District Court responsible for at least some of these stillbirths but the necessary Calendar Will Be test had not been made to make Livebirths, total 1140, IP IE! the diagnosis certain. Out of 75 infant deaths in the state during December, over half were due to prematurity and pneumonia. Prematurity caused 20 and pneumonia 28 of the 75 deaths. In November there were 15 deaths due to prematurity and in October 18; whereas pneumonia was responsible for only nine deaths in November and two ln October. Deaths under one month constiof the total d tute over and the great majority occur under six months.

Purchase of the road equipment had been discussed at the meeting In Duchesne Tuesday and the commissioners met Mr. Allred in Roosevelt Wednesday to close the deal. The machine was priced at $8800 and $500 was allowed on an old caterpillar purchased by the county several years ago which has not been used for some time. This leaves a balance of $8300 due. Terms of payment will be arranged at the next meeting of the commissioners, it was stated.

Reed Cowan, owner of the Palace Cafe joined the local organization Wednesday evening and was introduced to Lionism by Mr. Hiatt. Advice and comment on the activities of the committee chairmen was given by the two visitors after the chairmen present had each given his own version of what was expected of him. Plans for charter night, when the local club will receive its charter from Lions International, and will entertain visiting lions and their partners from all the adjoining counties were discussed. Many suggestions in arranging the program were given by the visitors, who estimated that 300 persons would attend the banquet and dance, which will be hold in the high school auditorium. Earlier estimates were placed at 200 by local members, but the visitors said they believed 300 would be closer to correct. They estimated that at least 60 would attend from Heber Qity.

Lundberg, manager of the Uintah Power and Light Co., said at a meeting in Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon, attended by committees from Roosevelt, Myton and Duchesne, that a reduction had been contemplated by the power corn-pa- y later in the year, but that now the reduction would become effective on June 1. Itaie Reductions At present the residential rate charged is 12 cents for the first 25 kilowatts, three and one-hacents on the next 100 and thereafter two cents per K. W. hour. The new rate to take effect June 1, Mr. Lundberg stated, would be 10 cents for the first 25 K. W., then dropping to three and one-ha- lf and two as above. The commercial lighting rate at present is: 12 cents for the first 50, 11 cents for the next 250, 10 cents for the next 250 and thereafter 8 cents. The new rate would be 10 cents for the first 500 and thereafter 8 cents subject to the approval of the Public Service Commission. The rate reduction, Mr. Lundberg said, would effect a saving of $3500 to $4000 annually to consumers, figured on past average consumption. P. S. C.
