The strike tied up ap-proximately 104 million of con-struction throughout the state. Both unions involved in the strikes agreed their workers would return to their jobs, "without qualification." Ratifi-cation meetings are to be held next week. The labor's contract is for three years. No other details of the agreement were avail-able immediately. "We'll say one thing about the good old depression days. You could get your leaves raked." Louis Nelson Bowman, King City (Mo.) ty News. New wall switches are practical The variety of new wall switches seems confusing but is really quite practical. And they are inexpensive luxuries, because they can simply re-place existing switches with-out costly changes in wiring. Some glow softly so you can find them at night. Others light up brightly when the switch is on to remind you that the driveway flood light or the kitchen fan has been left on. The delay toggle waits a minute before the lights go off giving you time to reach the bed after turning off bedroom lights or to saun-ter out to the car after turn-ing off entryway lights. Others dim the lighting to suit the oc-casion, or they go on automat-ically at nightfall. There are feather-touc- h noiseless switch-es and those that are weather-proofe- d for outdoor use. "We don't have to worry about being invaded we've got the best armed juvenile delinquents in the world." Highway survey now underway Presently a street and high-way research project is being conducted throughout Utah County, by county and state agencies and the United States Bureau of Public Roads, to facilitate the development of more efficient city and county transportation systems, insure picture of the needs or bene-fits that will accrue from im-provements. In procuring the required data for step four or the in-ternal trip survey, the Area Transportation Study has re-cruited several interviewers who will contact a represen-tative sample of the general public. Each home was chosen by a numerical system and their driving habits will repre-sent those of their immediate neighbors. Prior to being interviewed, each home will receive an in-troductory letter from Gerald Matthews, Transportation and Research Engineer for the Utah State Highway Depart-ment. Every interviewer car-ries an identification card with required to present to the householder. All information obtained is strictly confiden-tial. Interviewers are working in the Springville area for the next few weeks and again in the fall. Cooperation will be appreciated by those who are contacted. The railroads and other groups have urged the Senate Commerce Committee to elim-nat- e unnecessary confusion and inconvenience to travelers and shippers over various times by establishment of a uniform time system for the nation. Part of the problem confronting the railroads at present is due to public bus-iness being transacted on one time basis while railroads are required to observe a different time standard. the best possible land use and finest locations for public im-provements. The study also aids in the effective solution of tha complex and difficult problems of traffic congestion, confusion, and traffic acci-dents. The study comprises six dif-ferent aspects of street and highway information. The first objective is the identification of streets according to present use, and their classification as expressways, major arterials, collector streets, and local streets. Next is recorded phys-ical features of specific streets to determine they will need re-placement, if there is sufficient right of way. What type of pavement has proved best, etc. Another team measures exist-ing traffic service for volume, street capacity, travel time, accident locations, signal re-quirements, and parking needs. The internal and external sur-veys conduct interviews to se-cure the number of trips into, within, and through the study area, mode of travel and time of trips. The fifth division is concerned with collecting fis-cal data for legislative policies on allocation of funds. The program is financed by federal funds and augmented by the county and state. The final portion of the study mea-sures the existing level of pub-lic transportation service for routing and geneeral opera-tions. Without basic information, the transportation problems cannot be accurately defined or measured. Without facts, it is hard to establish solutions or present to legislative bodies or the general public a clear his picture on it which he is Citizen favors civic center as now planned Editor, HERALD; I would like to say a few words regarding the new Civ;c proposed Center, for which a bond election will be held in Springville on July 16th. It is evident to anyone who can and will read the news-papers and the Notice of Elec-tion that there is no problem about paying for the Center; Springville's share of the sales tax will take care of that. It must also be evident that there is NO question of a tax raise in Springville to help fi-nance the building; therefore, the only major questions must be regarding the suitability of the building, and its location. Many people feel that the old city hall should be pre-served for its historical signifi- cance. I submit that this par-ticular building HAS no such significance. It was not one of Springville's first buildings, nor was it built around any particular historical event. There are several buildings in our town far more suitable as historical relics the fine old home built by Gideon Wood, for example, now oc-cupied by Mr. and Mrs. J. X. Gardner; and the lovely little home on second east and sec-ond south, built by my great-grandfather Mendenhall, and now occupied by Mrs. Ella Reynolds. While neither of these are available at this time, I feel sure that one day they could be purchased by the city and restored and fur-nished in the original pioneer manner, and would be REAL historical landmarks of which our town could be proud. There are others, also, of which many townspeople are aware. The new City Hall and Civ-ic Center as proposed, if built according to the present plans and specifications, would fill our need for both a City Hall and Civic Center and a new and better Public Library. It would NOT diminish the beau-enhanc- e it, and make it a place of which we would ty of our City Park, but would be proud. The City Council and the Mayor, as well as the Library Board, certainly do not wish to destroy the beauti-ful City Park, and a thorough investigation of the plans, now on public exhibit, will show that only four trees will be re-moved for the new building, three of which will soon have to bo removed anyway. I am the wife of a builder, and know enough about plans and specifications to know be-yond doubt that the proposed new building is one of beauty, strength, and good planning. As a Library Board member, I have helped for over two years in the planning of the project, and. can only say that it is a GOOD, SOUND, BEAU-TIFUL BUILDING, in a per-fect and eminently suitable setting. I realize many who read this letter will consider me un-qualified to judge the project. To them I can only say that my opinion is backed by those of the other members of the Library Board, the Mayor and Council and the architects. The Mayor and Council were elect-ed by a majority vote, and therefore we must have con-sidered them qualified for the offices. The architect is a young man of good reputation who is as interested in his home town and its develop-ment as any other citizen, and has the added qualification of being trained in his field. I am a granddaughter of pi-oneers, and I love Springville, and I ask all of my fellow cit-izens to investigate tnis pro-ject themselves before they vote on it and NOT to lis-ten to the propaganda being circulated by many people who do not know what they are talking about. Let's keep some of our prec-ious landmarks they are part of our history and our heritage. But let's let our town advance, as well. Respectfully, Lois C.
