That was the announcement in Gov; J. Bracken Lee's office after a stormy debate between the American Legion and other veterans vet-erans organizations. Disabled American Veterans and Veterans of Foreign War officials of-ficials yesterday demanded the ouster of four of the six department depart-ment employes, charging officials were no longer doing required field work. Commander Clarence C. Nelson of the Utah American Legion de-tended de-tended the department. Nelsen differed with the DAV on whether a Subsidy should be paid veterans organizations to carry on their own field work. He said the Legion wouldn't accept ac-cept one. Service Officer Francks X.

The proposed roadway which would open up passage from the west side of Brookside to Seventh South was also taken into consideration. con-sideration. Recent investigations have made clear the need for such a road and preliminary plans are being drawn up by the city and county planning boards. In this instance as in others mentioned, officials stated that while it is the city and county both who are concerned with the proposed project, neither plans to purchase right of way through the property involved where such a move would benefit the owner, making his property more valuable as residential area. It was further decided that when a street is opened up and property is subdivided so that the property owner is financially and otherwise benefitted, it will not be the policy of the city to install at city expense, the various utility services. Also present at the council meeting was a delegation from the Hobble Creek Riding club asking for an extension of their lease on the rodeo grounds west of the city which they opened up this summer.
