DEER GREEK ORGANIZATION Editor's Note: This Is the fifth of a series of articles on the Dee Creek project reviewing re-viewing the project from its inception to date with a view to clarifying the many steps in its progress. BY GEORGE W. SEIDL Although numerous individuals foresaw at the turn of the cen tury that Utah's continued progress pro-gress meant economic use of wa ter, including the transference of it from one watershed to another more thickly populated, their pro gress was but slowly accomplish ed. Little by little, however, they converted to their belief key men of the state. Following the initial surveys of 1925 by the reclama tion service on the proposed Deer Creek reservoir, interest became more manifest as the possibilities grew more concrete. Thus, spur red by the need to put men to work, Utah congressmen at Wash ington succeeded by 1934 in alio eating a sum of $2,700,000 to the project which the government had found acceptible in 1933. But the oeer creek, made so intricate with a maze of legal steps, was not one to be rushed to completion it was soon seen. However, as early as 1935, tentative tenta-tive demands for 80,000 acre feet of the total 110,000 were reported by E. A. Jacob, then, time head of the Utah lake-Deer Creek reclamation recla-mation project. The corporation to buy the project pro-ject from the government marked one of the most important steps, an essential and initial part in development. The momentous day came May 2, 1935, when incorporation incorpora-tion articles of the Provo River Water Users' association were filed in Provo. Officers were the late Mayor Louis Marcus of Salt Lake City, president; and J. W. Gillman of OremH vice-president. Listed as incorporators were L. M. Atwood of Pleasant Grove; Mr. Gillman; Walter P. Whitehead of Provo; Virgil Peterson of Lehi; Mayor Marcus, Fisher Harris, George F. Keyser and W. D. Beers of. Salt Lake City; A. J. Evans of Lehi ; and H. Clay Cummings of Heber City. The onward march toward com pletion of the Deer Creek reser- voir thus had its initial concrete ThP details in its nrn,rU win Hp explained briefly in subsequent articles. Home Building Plans Outlined Two hundred dollars and a small but steady income are the only requisites to securing a home, Roy Boren told a capacity audience here Monday night. With Federal Housing Administration Admin-istration aid loans to 80 per cent can apply. Labor, cash or materials mater-ials make up the home-buyer'a $200 for every $1,000 of home cost. Payments run $9 to $10 monthly per thousand on 20-year contracts. To WPA workers Boren recommended recom-mended saving $2 weekly to supply sup-ply the $200 working fund in two years. The nucleus buys a lot, upon which labor in basement, sewer, and water excavation ap plies as part of home cost, he said Fifteen agreed to consult Boren on immediate plans, and a second meeting is indicated. He is not connected with FHA. MARKETS N. Y.

Taylor becoming be-coming the first trustee president Public donations led to 1.425 books on hand when the Provo Public Library opened January 6, 1906. 1 Andrew Carnegie, steel magnate ! offered $17,500 for erection of a new building for city maintenance. Jesse Knight donated the present site and the building was erected in 1907. In 1932 circulation passed the 100,000 mark for the first time. Needs Bigger Library At present, size is handicapping handicap-ping perfect library functioning. Malinc Sumner, librarian, Decem ber 19, 1935, remarked that "Provo City needs a library three times the size of the present building." Six tables in the adult reading room seat 48, and 62 chairs are available. "It is a common eight on a school night to see all of the chairs occupied and 25 to 30 people wandering about trying to locate a place to study," the library board writes. On one ordinary day it was found 552 persons visited the library, li-brary, thus averaging more than 3.300 visitors during a week. Three suggested future plans are : 1. Remodeling the present building build-ing and erecting an addition thereto there-to on ground in the rear purchased for the purpose several years ago. 2. Securing the present post of-ifce of-ifce building and remodeling it for library use. 3. Erecting a new building on a r""w site. Outside Residents Ask For Extension of the City Limits i'rovo city commissioners will look with favor on extension of the Provo city boundary to Twelfth North and Seventh East to the river they assured three property owners ol the district Monday night. WMlard Sowards, Charles Cox and James Jex met with the commission com-mission to learn how they might secure water and sewer benefits to their respective property in the area. Although water might be secured se-cured at double city cost providing provid-ing extension cost is paid by the benefitted user, the city officials expressed doubt as to possibility of sewer convenience for borderline border-line dwellers just outside the limit. They argued that city residents pay their taxes for that additional addi-tional convenience and that to pass without the city area use of such purely civic features is not equitable to city taxpayers. theater on Friday afternoon at 4 p. m.
