He was given procedure papers for applying for annexation. Mr. Argyle also asked that a four-wa- y stop be placed at the intersection of Oxford and Devon Streets to slow traffic at that point. Both Larkins and Supt. Max felt if this intersection justified, there were others the same. Chief Major were many CHIEF Larkins stated part of the hazard on that corner was due to dense shrubbery.

Weber County can call Weber County plus 13 of Davis County without a toll charge. No one in Davis County can call all areas of Davis County without paying a toll charge. Davis County in the last seven years has grown at twice the rate of Weber County. A 24,000 increase as compared to the 13,000 increase for Weber County. The density of the number of phones per square mile of available space (excluding of course that portion of Davis County covered by the Great Salt Lake) is the highest in Utah. Since 1969, Mountain Bell has received 45 million dollars in 4 separate rate increases. During this period of time they have expanded the calling areas in Cache County and Utah County to the vast majority of the ion survey just completed. hS percent of the students at immunized The health department plans to immunize the susceptible in all the schools, but will start in the cemral' area first. CAN PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTS: 25 THE LAST case late Tuesday was a I reluctant attitude of Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph to give us comparable service to neighboring counties. There is currently before the Public Service Commission a hearing sponsored by the consumer services committee. The amazing thing about Mountain Bell is their assertion to the Public Service Commission that the citizens of our area are not significantly interested in better phone service. They are resisting the above matter with all of their energy. Even though some of their company officers admit that our situation is inequitable when compared with other counties. 3. measles co bach to As citizens of Davis County, we are concerned over the a total of cases have now been reported in North Davis County since the initial outbreak was reported about f weeks ago, two and according to Dolleen Jewett, Davis County public health nursing supervisor. of ill FARTHER THAN I CAN CALL , WITHOUT A TOLL CHAR SEJ 2.
