Volume Sixty-eig- ht THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1961 Price 10c Number 26 hmiflfld S)mhh Chamber of Commerce voices opposition to highway plans A majority of Springville business men are op-pos- ed to the proposed parallel parking on Main Street it was indicated this week when the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Kenneth Metcalf, presented a petition to the city council at their Mon-day meeting. The parallel parking would be nec-essary if the street were to six lanes with center islands as planned. Signed by most of the Main Street business own-ers, the petition was accompanied by several signed statements from Provo business firms stating they suffered a 10 percent loss of business from parallel parking in their area. Several Chamber of Commerce members at-tended the meeting and expressed themselves as be-ing opposed to parallel parking especially south of Center Street. They indicated that the road should be cut down and no more layers added to the exist-ing five layers of concrete. They asked that serious consideration be given the petition and the council ' promised to write a letter to the district road en-gineer to this effect. j Officers seek new kind of animal rustler It will be dangerous for any-one to be in the vicinity of the mink ranches at the mouth of Hobble Creek canyon, irate owners announced this week after the most recent theft of some $7,000 worth of minks from the J. Kent Johnson ranch. A $500 reward is being of-fered by the Fur Breeders Corp. to the person or persons who make possible the appre-hension and conviction of the thieves, it was reported today. Maeser Young--, who also owns a ranch in the vicinity, said it is not the first time such a thing has happened but they expect to make it the last of possible by guarding the property night and day. The owners are asking for any information concerning suspicious persons or cars seen in the area the night of the theft. Before bagging up the 300 choice animals from the John-son property, the thieves shot a pinscher guard dog and cut the high wire fence as well as the locks on the pens. Only a few months ago, thieves took more than 20 breeder mink many of which could not be replaced from the Young ranch in the same area.
