By SECOND-GUESSER The 16 or 18 families residing resid-ing in the Union Pacific temporary tempo-rary housing project in the ' south part of town have received re-ceived eviction notices, to be effective in June. It is understood under-stood the houses . will be torn down or removed. The housing project was a temporary measure, undertaken undertak-en during the war years to provide pro-vide homes for the U. P. - - ; railroad personnel employed to help handle the peak traffic of the war years. It was mot meant to be permanent, and original plans probably called for dismantling before now. While we are heartily in accord ac-cord with the idea of removing the little yellow "boxcars" and agree that it's best to tear them down, it seems to us a less opportune op-portune time for the dismantling disman-tling job could not have "been picked. Of the 16 or 18 families fam-ilies living there, at least half are unemployed. They've been out of work for some time, and they haven't the financial means to build homes or pay for an expensive move. It will def-T' def-T' initely work a severe hardship I on these folks, who have been serving the Union Pacific faithfully faith-fully and well. There has been a shortage of homes in Milford since before the war, and now almost a score of families are told to move out so their homes can be torn down. We think it would be a godsend to these folks if the eviction notices were rescinded, re-scinded, and sufficient time given for these Union Pacific employes to find other homes. It's getting along toward spring, but there's still time to trim the branches on our rambling ram-bling trees. Some of these branches are dangerously near' power lines and telephone lines, and could be causing some of the radio static we complain of. A group of presently unemployed unem-ployed railroaders have been looking around for ways to earn grocery money until rail traffic traf-fic picks up, and they do a good job at trimming Qr removing trees.- They also have purchased pur-chased pipe, and make mighty fine clothes lines, which they install, set deep in the ground in concrete, and paint, all for . a lower price than the pipe . posts sell for in Salt Lake . The two jobs mentioned are Here's More About i DUNNO Continued from Page One the "features" of this group of unemployed railroaders, but they'll do any kind of odd jobs. If there's any odd job you have, whether it's a couple of hours 1 or a couple of days, phone A. T. Miller, 174-R, and he or one of his friends will be right out to go to work. |
