PROVO, Grandview Become s Part of Orem The realization of 20 years of planning, and the consummation of years of effort on the part of Orem citizens was found this week in the unanimous passage of the anof the nexation Grandview district by the Orem Towm board Monday, and the subsequent filing of the required plats and petition at the City and bounty huilding Thursday. petition Grandview Is now officiany and legally an Integral part ot the town of Orem, adding more than 90,000 assessed valuation to Into the Orem, and bringing towns water system approximately 50 additional water users and service connections, but adding, less than four miles of new roads for maintenance. Briefly, the entire Big Bench Area now belongs to Orem. considerSeveral important ations grow out of the enlarged area for the Town of Orem. Water System Changes Outstanding among these new features is the enlargement and Improvement of the town's water system, according to Frtman Christensen, chairman Oi the water department. A WPA project already has been approved, which Includes not only the water extension bui. the Town Park project, and the removal of the irrigation ditch in front of the high school. This WPA work will extend the water lines to West Grandview first, the work actually to commence Saturday. Already ample water for ah present needs are found in Orei states Mr. Christensen, there hr lug 780 gallons per minute now available. With the filings-mad- e on Bridal Yell, Lost Creek, and Uuardquarters water, jointly with Provo city, and wdth Deer Creek subscriptions signer, all future needs for almost unlimited growth Is assured. Orem thus has a first class water system for a modern city and promises to become one of the biggest factors In its future development, declared Mayor B. M. Jolley this week. But one factor remains to make a first class water system completely safe, and a PWA project is being sought right now for that factor the replacement of the present vitrified line by a pressure pipe line in the bottom of Provo canyon, which will Insure a pure and adequate supply for all time, according to Mr. Christensen. Other Matters Rapidly the new Orem town is being built up, which brings prominently before the town board the matter of building permits and Inspection. All new buildings In the Gradvlew addition must come under the new building ordinance, explains Mayor Jolley. The new town park plans also Involve future activttlee rA other considerations are occupying the time and energy of the Town board.

A Community Sponsor Every week some group appeals to Scera to help sponsor a worthy cause. This week Mr. Terry came with a most worthy request to help sponsor the l.and this summer. No band eer attained higher recognition unless helped by some sponsorship as he is asking. Lincoln high school band became second to none in the state. A good band is priceless in a community. Tlw Scera officers would like to help. The Alpine school district proffers to pay half the salary of three summer play leaders if some organization will care for the balance. Scera board members feel this is an extraordinary opportunity to get trained people in the different wards of this community. No other organization would sponsor the Swimming pool project, so the Scera directors guaranteed a loan of 51200 which still stands against them, thus taking advantage of the gove nmrnt offer of CO per cent. We had no community paper, so the Voice of Sharon was lorn, which has no other motive than to offer the eop!e of this community a medium of publicity for all organizations. So we could go on: Scout programs, Old Folks enterM Men basketball Summer ball leatainments, ju-- t as new week e;uh a excrv one, worthy. gues, Isnt it a matter rf real sati'factinn to you to know' that your assessment at Scera shows is h!ping to buy the verv finest entertainment at a saxing to yourself, as xvell as making it possible to carry on these worthxxhile activities? It might be well fer th'ie xxho gix-- support to enter tt.ii.mert concerns outside of this community to ask those jou support how much they will pare in helping to promote some worthwhile project in this community.

There is no alternative now but to proceed, according to city officials,! who are jubilant over the recent rulings in the Supreme court, sn.il unanimous in their approval of these contracts, Jesse Haws, most recently elected commissioner, being proud of the fact that hia vote makes it nnanimous. Opposing Petition Filed Opposition to the Provo municipal power plant has not ceased in the least, however, despite all the preparations to go forward being made by the city officials. Simultaneously with the announcement from the Supreme court this week, a petition was filed by 21 Provo citizens with the city clerk asking the city commission to provide Initiative petition copies for Provo citizens to vote an ordinance which would repeal the ordinances passed in 1936, which gave Provo the right to proceed under the special revenue bond plan of financing the construction of the proposed power plant. Signers of this pet'tion are: Jacob Coleman, Allan D. Johnson, Alfred Madsen, John O. Btesley, Walter P. Whitehead, J. Elmer Jacobsen, Aiex Hedquist, W. R. Butler, T. C. Larsen, Paul D. Vincent, J. G. Webb, O. Blaine Larsen, Sam I. Levin, Dr. N. C. Spalding, Walter Adams, Sidney W. Russell, Dean A. Anderson, F. B. Critch-loE. D. Firmage, J. A. Owens, and Herald R. Clark. Arguments Heard Discussion of the "power question" has been heard on all sides during the week, sometimes becoming heated, but most citizens are trying to get at the "meat of the matter, even the signers of the petition being signers from different points of view. More than one signer argues that the whole question of publte ownership of utilities is wrong, and all governmental agencies should stay out of business. Justice Hanson, in big wrlttea statement tin , the Gizden case c- -t ttit u, ;DU, 0 tms ques tion must rest before a higher tribunal than the Supreme Court, namely, the court of public opinion. Other signers are still clinging to the opinion that changed conditions in Provo, and the smallness of the majority for municipal power in the 1936 election, is reason enough to oppose the city administrations move for a power plant. Answering this point, the City officials point to the necessity on their part of carrying out the will of the people, and declare that If the slightest majority had been against them, the "power interests" would have cried "murder had they attempted to over-rul- e the "will of the people. Still others are arguing that Provo's debt load Is already too heavy, and that the new power plant will add nearly another million dollars to the citys obligations, and that regardless of how the money is paid it all comes out of the pockets of the people. spiles to this argument come directly from the Supreme court which was unanimous on this one point that special revenne bonds are not a general obligation on the city, and that repayment must come from the plant itself without any recourse to taxation or levies upon the people. Citizens also are addirg that r11 money which built the present power plant came "out of the people, that stock was subscribed, and hundreds of thousands of dollars went into private pockets, as commissions, adding to the actual cost of constructing the present Utah Power & Light plant. Some argument centers around the question of rates. The new low rates of the Power company are cited as reason for cessation of any activities toward a n unicipal plant, that Provo is f ring well enough, and excellent service Is being given, that huge payrolls are beng paid, and industry here is dependent upon payrolls, and to blast the Power company out of Provo is to destroy an industry which furnishes labor for hundreds and keeps many families from being on relief. Answers to this come from various sources, pointing to the low rates now In effect as the direct result of the threat of a municipal plant, and that the lower rates will aid industry, and are more likely to be guaged In the Interests of the people also, under municipal ownership than under the tender mercies of the Public Service commission whose record in the past shows a definite leaning toward the big interests; that an elected city commission, in other words, is much nearer the pulse of the people than is an appointed public service commission. The question of payrolls is answered also in the fact that the municipal plant will employ many people, and that savings will be effected by the city on street lights and c,a cost of electricity in Provo, and that comequently a reduction of taxes and lessening in the cost of living in this community, will benefit everybody.
