The lights will then be placed for another one-wee- k period near the Carr Fork and Main street intersection. De-scribed as giving 40 per cent more light without increasing power consumption, lights of this type may replace those now in use if they are found to be suc-cessful. Decision of council members to try the lights was made fol-lowing a recent meeting with Homer Shaw, Utah Power and Light expert, and George Bihler, district superintendent of the Utah Power and Light. r KTO ATTEND BlO BROADCAST ADVERTISING CITY .,. the regular Lions club night falls on July the rth, the dub members de-- j Tuesday to meet instead Wednesday, July 5, at 6:30 p. at the BL-a- Brummel cafe Salt Lake City.

A lighted playground for use of children and young people during the long summer even-ings was the goal set up last autumn by the Highland Boy Community House and the High-land Boy P.-- A. With assist-ance from many others last win-ter and spring the project was realized. The junior chamber of com-merce presented their annual play at Highland Boy and gave the proceeds to the fund. The Utah Power and Light company cooperated in securing the lights at considerable discount, and helped in the same manner in purchase of electrical equipment, also furnished the wiring and in-stalled the lights. James Nord-ber- g, representing the mining companies gave two 40-fo- poles. Boy Scouts, under direction of Ned Monroe and using equip-ment loaned by fhe Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company Bingham office, dug the holes. Mayor Ed Johnson and Jordan school district officials were also interested and help-ful. At the dedicatory program Fri-day on the playground fires were built to keep spectators warm and folding chairs set up. The following program was present-ed: a reading by Miss Alice Brown, solo by Mrs. Meredith Smith, a saxaphone solo by Ro-land Miller and Community sing-ing led by Reverend Smith.

FIREMEN DOWN FIREMEN TUESDAY If a trophy had been offered for winner of the epic game of the softball season, the No. 1 and No. 2 Firemen's annual chal-lenge game Tuesday evening, the No. 1 group would have had an-other decoration for their fire hall. Score: 11-1- 0. The desperate encounter was featured by the sensational bat swinging of Earl James, who banged out a home run and three hits in four times up, and furth-er distinguished himself in the field. Joe Scussell, masterly as an umpire the first half, proved his versatility on the diamond by handcuffing the No. 2 sluggers as a pitcher in the last four in-nings. Outstanding performance for No. 2 crew was turned in by John West, catcher. NEW FIRE TRUCK DELIVERY MADE Delivery of a fire truck to Art Sorenson, city councilman and president of conjoint companies No. 1 and No. 2, Bingham Vol-unteer firemen, and Ross Mar-riott, fire chief of No. 2 com-pany, was made Monday at Chi-cago by W. S. Darley and com-pany. The two firemen will drive the "fire department red" ve-hicle, which is lettered in gold "Bingham Fire Department" and striped in the same color, back, expecting to be here early next week. Receipt of the truck will cul-minate a long series of negotia-tions of a firemen's committee which began in March, 1937. Named to decide on the type equipment best suited to local demands were: W. H. Faddis, chairman ,and John J. Creedon, Ray Tatton, Irvin Stillman, Cyral Robison, W. H. Harris, Ted Robi-so- n, J. L. Householder, R. R. Marriott, B. A. Hocking. Chassis The chassis of the truck was purchased through the Bingham Garage for $1313.82, and is a model D-3- 5 International truck, 161" wheelbase, 2 ton, 89 H. P. motor, 5 speed transmission, front tires 75020 8 ply, rear tires 825)20 10 ply (single). The fire truck was ordered for No. 2 company station and spec-ifications for the complete equip-ment as made by the committee include requirement of 500 gal-lon per minute all bronze centri-fugal combination booster and suction fire pump complete with closed type cooling system. Equipment Equipment listed for the fire truck on the original order to Darley company includes: a streamlined body, special hose bodv flooring, special built-i- n rear compartment, ladder brack-ets, ladder rocks, n size booster tank. The truck is costing the city $3,282.76, which includes $150 for expense of delivery. Last week another $100 was appropriated for this purpose by the city coun-cil, as it was thought advisable to send two firemen to Chicago to be instructed in handling the truck and its equipment. IERICAN LEGION TEAM TO PLAY AT EVANSTON he American Legion team of igham will play its first base-- 1 game of the season Sunday ;moon at 1:30 p. m. at Evans-- , Wyoming, with the Legion ni of that city.

O NEARING ELECTION BRINGS PROBLEM So far only recognition of the city election to be held in ap-proximately four months from now is a quiet, undercover cam-paign which has its origin with friends or opponents of prospec-tive candidates and incumbents. No announcements have been made at this early date, and no authentic reports of the inten-tions of present city officials have been issued. There is one essential election policy which must be determin-ed by the city council before October 1. The 1939 legislature passed a bill which was signed by Governor Henry H. Blood providing that cities of second and third class have the privilege of determining whether elective city officials are to be nominated by direct primary, petition . or the convention method. At the present cities of the second and third class are without a form of nominating candidates. As the primary election meth-od of choosing nominees is both cumbersome and expensive, it is generally considered not unlikely that the council will solve their problem by favoring a nomina-tion procedure allowing a com-bination of petition and conven-tion methods. Bingham has been incorporated since 1904, and was proclaimed a city of the first class May 23, 1938. This year voters in Bingham Canyon will choose a mayor, four two-ye- ar councilmen, one hold-over four-yea- r councilman, a city recorder, and a city treasur-er. Incumbents whose term of of-fice expires December 31 are Mayor Ed Johnson, Councilmen C. A. Morley, Art Sorenson, Dale Johnston and Al J. Ablett. All are concluding their first term with the exception of Mr. Mor-ley, who was reelected last town election. SOFTBALL PLAY IN SECOND HALF - Half the softball schedule play was concluded this week and Salt Lake Bingham Freight con-tinue their steady march toward the championship.

O Kindergarten In Progress Miss Frieda Jensen, primary supervisor for Jordan school dis-trict, notes that there are four weeks of kindergarten remain-ing at the Copperfield, Copper-to- n and Central schools. Parents of children who are six by Octo-ber 31 are urged to send the young6ters to classes, as it is im-portant training for first graders. GEMMELL SETTLES IN THIRD PLACE With but one week of the In-dustrial league first half sched-ule remaining and two games for Gemmell to play, one at Help-er and one at Pinney, the club Sunday lost their chance at a first half top spot and more than likely have settled for third place berth. Magna-Garfiel- only one-ha- lf game ahead of Gemmell, besieg-ed the clubmen on the Copper-to- n field, with Leif Erickson, pitcher, responsible for the ef-fective bombardment. Erickson struck out six men and held the Gemmell team to five hits: score 5-- 2. The usually heavy-hittin- g club-men were ineffective against Erickson's south paw hurling, but did tie the score in the sec-ond, 2-- 2, where the millmen held them while they added counters in the third and fifth. Best performance of the game was some spectacular fielding by Frank Zaccaria. Gemmell club plays Helper at Helper Saturday and Pinney at Salt Lake Tuesday, their last two games the first half. After gain-ing a two point lead in the first inning and holding it until the seventh, Gemmell club dropped a 4-- 2 decision to Dividend Wed-nesday. League Standings W. L. Pet.
