CITY COUNCIL APPROVES SALE DRYFORK LAND An agreement was signed by the city council Wednesday night granting the Kennecott Copper corporation easement for the con-struction of a railroad in the mouth of Dry Fork canyon and selling certain property owned by the city to permit erection, maintenance and operation of a railroad. $1000 was paid the city for the property involved and $125 for the easement for the rail-road. Designated as the Annie F. Mine Lode Mining claim, U. S. Survey No. 4795, situate in the West Mountain Mining district, the property is used at present as a dumping ground by the city and county. The corporation agreed to con-struct at its own cost a roadway over and across the property now owned by the corporation to per-mit use by the city and county of the dumping area. An underpass 12 feet wide and 13 feet high, beneath the railroad at the point where the railroad crosses the roadway, which is to be maintained by the corporation at its own expense, is to be con-structed for use of the city and county and to be under their joint control. The agreement requires the county to restrict use of the road-way for transportation and dis-posal of garbage and other waste materials, and that its use by the city shall be restricted to the same use, as a means of reaching the cemetery situated in Dry Fork and for the protection, control and maintenance of the city's water system. The roadway will not become a public highway. The corpora-tion reserves the right to use the roadway, which is to be accepted by the city m lieu of the roadway formerly used. Since the construction of the railroad, and cuts, fills and em-bankments neissary lor the rail-road, will make it necessary to move portions of the city pipe line from Dry Fork, the corpora-tion agreed to make changes m location of the pipe. A h concrete culvert will be laid be-neath the fill and the city pipe line placed inside. ;;( Ordinance ssed Wednesday; Effective On July 1 ordina'icTegulating the streets, sidewalks and j i0ts within Bingham ; was passed Wednesday by the city council.

Leahy of Holy Rosary church has com-pleted plans for opening a Cath-olic Social Center in Highland Boy. The building that is being taken over by the Catholics is the old Highland Boy store. Its central location makes it easily accessible to all who will take advantage of the new Center. A program that will include spir-itual, cultural, and recreational activities is being worked out by Father Leahy and the Missionary Catechists, who will assist him in the new undertaking. The Catholics of Highland Boy are enthusiastic over the project. Until now they have been handi-capped, for they have had no Center of their own in which to have their meetings, programs, etc. Renovations on the building were begun during the past week. There will be a recreation room, reading room, kitchen, and work rooms. When the necessary re-pairs and changes have been made, the Center will be formal-ly dedicated. The public will be invited. The children who attended the Catholic Vacation school in High-land Boy presented a program in the school house Thursday even-ing at 7:30 o'clock. Climaxing the evening's entertainment was the raffle of two quilts which the girls made in their sewing classes. Father Milton J. Kelly of Divine Saviour parish, Salt Lake City, and Erma Sponga of Highland Boy won the quilts. Proceeds from the raffle will be used to purchase equipment for the Catholic Social Center. Since June 27 is the Feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, special devotions will be held at Holy Rosary church Friday ev-ening at seven-thirt- y. At the close of the devotions there will be veneration of a relic of the Bless-ed Virgin.
