They are Inquiring not alone Into the system of disposal In use in theee cities, and their costs, but also Into the legal aspects of the matter. No More New Turn for Provo, emphatically declares Mayor Mark Anderson, and Utah seems to have relied upon taxation for almost every service needed, whereas in California these services are attached to the Individual who receives them. Instead of being assessed against property. At least that is the Impression these officials had before they left Provo, and their, Investigations will delvs Into the matter very definitely. To tax property in Utah seems to have been the pet hobby of all officials In the past, declares Mayor Anderson, until this state has almost arrived at a point where property Is something to get rid of, rather than to purchase. Borne other way must be found for financing this much-needgarbage disposal system, even If legislation must be sponsored to enable the city to operate It, says the mayor. Already the State Municipal League Is working on this phase of the problem. Utah National Parks Council are expected to converge on Richfield Saturday for the first of tbe new Scouters Departmentalised Conferences to be held quarterly daring the year. The meet will be held at 7:11 p. m. In the Richfield Stake Tabernacle. Oscar A. Kirkham of Balt Lake City, Deputy Regional Scout Executive, will deliver the keynote address. Since the Conference Is being held In a centralised location, every District Is being urged to have In attendance a representative of each of Its departments, according to A. A. Anderson, 8cout Executive. Chairmen of Council Departments will be present to glvo them valuable assistance In carrying on their responsibilities. Following a brief executive session, the Scouters will meet in the following departments: Leadership Training, Organisation and Regsltratlon, Camping and Activities, Health and Safety, Advancement A Court of Honor, Finance, and Senior Scouting. In addition, there will be special defor partments Scoutmasters, and for Troop Committeeman, District Commissioners. . . . ed Answers to the Questionable will determine what the people think about the whole matter. Borne (.000 pink slips enclosed In stamped and addressed envelopes are now In the malls to the Individual householders In Provo, who are asked to answer the questions on this slip and return It in the envelope. No need to sign It, merely answer correctly your desires. Among ths business section these answers are already on file, and the great majority of them are favorable to a 'garbage disposal system being Inaugurated. "If the people want this system In nse here at a very low cost, we certainly fill find some legal way to put It Into operation, declares Mayor Anderson. City Drug Opens In New Location matter almost worked out before his death, and he and the Orem officials were happy in the arrangements being made. Now a joint committee from Orem and Provo are completing the work, with Orem being represented by James O. Stratton, chairman of water committee of the Town Board there, and Commissioner Harding representing Provo. Both men have other city officials assisting them In the work still ahead. Boundaries are Imaginary Idnee ays Mayor Anderson, commenting upon Orem's claims for this canyon water. "Ws are Just as anxious to help Orem aa to help Provo, for there really Is no difference between tbs two. Wbat helps Orem helps Provo, and we want to build Orem Into a fine city for Provo will benefit every time more people and more business comes to Orem", he added. C. A.
