Salt Lake City will resist any claims or lawsuits arising from damage suffered by residents of a westside city block when a 16 inch city water line blew a dead end plug and flooded the block last week, City Atty. James L. Barker announced. Mr. Barker said that after conferring with Charles W. Wilson, superintendent superintend-ent of the City Water Department, Depart-ment, it was his opinion the city was not negligent in any way, and therefore not liable for the damage caused by the flooding. Department of fish and game spokesmen reminded sportsmen that with the advent of the new year, the new 1961 fishing orders approved late last month by the fish and game commission will go into effect. Anglers planning mid-winter fishing trips should read and study the new regulations before going afield. The effective date of change over to the new regulations is the end of the late fall and winter win-ter special whitefish season on the Weber River. This special season will, however, contine to Feb. 15 on three other popular watersthe Logan, Blacksmith Fork and Duchesne Rivers. Gary A. Winn, son of Brig.
