THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1958 Price 10c Number Thirty City Hall to be Painted Soon; Council Changes Policy on Sub-Divisi- on Roads " r The Springville City Hall will take on a new look in the very near future, the mayor having been authorized at the council meeting Monday night to purchase the paint with which to have the work done. Funds for the paint were included in the budget this year. For the benefit of those who are wondering what the color is to be it will be a light green as nearly as possible the shade of the Scera Theater building in Orem, according to Lloyd Ashcraft, city recorder. A resolution was passed by the councilmen concerning the building of new roads in sub-divisions. Previously the sub-divid- er has had to bring the new roads to a gravel standard and the city surfaced them, using B and C road funds. Now the sub-divid- er will be re-quired to build the road and where a new road is opened up, they will be built as a spe-cial improvement district and financed as are other improve-ment districts. This action be-came necessary because there are so many be-ing made that money derived from B and C road funds, are not sufficient to surface tho new sub-divisi- roads, coun-cilmen reported. Howard Thorpe was present at the meeting and presented a preliminary plat of a road dedication between Center St-and Third South, east of Can-yon Ave., which is to come un-der the new resolution adopted by the council. Traffic Ordinance It was decided at the coun-cil meeting to add new sections to City Traffic Ordinance No. 57, which is not sufficient to regulate racing with cars and parking problems which have recently come up in the city, with ordinance to be published in next week's Herald. Further discussion of the wage increase for city employ-ees was held at the council meeting and a number of ad-justments were made. It was decided to increase the hourly wage five cents per hour and salaries $10 per month. It is estimated that the city has ap-proximately 35 full time em-ployees. r t , .. o 'V, A .

Lighting Project Continues; Old Cottonwood Stays Work is progressing satis-factorily on the installation of the new lighting system along-Mai-street with the steel arms being placed on the poles on several blocks ready for the light fixtures. The work is un-der the supervision of Grant Whitehead, City Electrician. The project is one for which the city has been working for many months to secure coop-eration from the state high-way commission. The city is doing all the work and city-own-poles are being used with the state supplying all the material. Nothing more has been said concerning the old Cottonwood tree in North Main street hav-ing to be removed for the new lighting system and it is be-lieved it will remain as is, while another improvement program is carried on. When the city installed curb and gutter along the walk at the site of the pioneer land-mark, there were some who in-sisted that it be taken out but it was decided to curve the curb and gutter and leave the tree which has claimed its present site longer than the city itself.
