O CITY COUNCIL A routine business meeting of the city council was held nesday night according to Eugene Morris, recorder. Miscellaneous bills totaling $2,596.70 and the regular payroll amounting to $1400.00 were okehed for pay-ment as was $2,368.69 for the payment of the new police car. However a refund of about $100 on excise tax on the police car is expected Mr. Morris said. Fire Chief John J. Creedon was present at the meeting to report on the findings of the committee named to study all the bids that were submitted for the new- - fire truck. After due consideration of all bids receiv-ed, an American La France Foamite Co. type truck was se-lected. Contract for the new fire truck was awarded to Lorenzo Smith and Co. of Salt Lake City who were represented at the meeting by Edward L. Smith and D. O. Eliason. Cost of the new truck is' $17,508.50. An allowance of $1,000 on the old truck will make the cost of the new truck $16,508.50. Delivery of the new truck is expected to be made sometime in the later part qf this year. A motion to raise the budget in the general fund by $5,000.00 was- - passed by council members. The increase in the general fund was necessary so as to be able to make the down payment on the new fire truck. Another motion made and ap-proved by the council was the transfer of $1,753.20 from the un-appropriated fund to the police department. The week of May 23 has been designated as annual spring clean-u- p week.

Tlospital, Salt Lake City, There is no overhead for promo-tion or management and, since all Poppy day workers are vol-unteers, every penny contribut-ed goes for the purposes for which it is given.

Boren, rolling for the Doc Johnson Bondsman crew in the State Major League at the South State Lanes, hit his 300 score in the second game his team rolled with Pronto Drive-In- n. Bowling officials said that not since Bill Ward turned in a 300 score during a major doubles classic session in 1950 had there been a perfect game recorded in league play. Boren turned the trick in the middle of a 726 series for the Doc Johnson crew. It was the final night of the loop schedule and Russ led the squad to a victory that brought the league title home along with the perfect game. He actually had a string of 18 straight strikes. Other members of the champ-ionship squad, also well known local bowlers, included Ned Chestnut, Dick Gonzales, Tim Ablett and Ken Chestnut. For his feat Russ will receive a diamond ring from the ABC (or other jewelry of his choice). He also will get $300 because he was wearing a certain manufac-turer's shirt and another $300 because he was wearing the same manufacturer's belt. Nelson W.
