The bill is a mixture mix-ture of ideas propounded by both Republicans from southern Utah and the Utah Water Users association asso-ciation and its president William R. Wallace. , The water bill combines a proposal pro-posal by Wallace that the water users be allowed to name the City Briefs Miss Marie Glraod and brother Joseph Giraud, left Provo Friday for their homes in Los Angeles, after spending a week visiting in Provo at the home of Mrs. Ada Giraud and family. DeVen Kefferd of Preston, Ida--ho, is visiting with relatives and friends in Provo for a few days.

R San Juan, inai the water board be composed of members from seven different water districts in the state. On that 'point the bill compromises compro-mises by having IS members, two to be named from each of the seven water districts. However, before the governor can appoint them, they must be approveed by the water users association. The water bill also combines a proposal - by the governor: that the state engineer's office be used as the administrative body for the water board. The board has the broadest powers over water and water control given any single administrative agency, in the state. Purpose of the bill is twofold. First, to strengthen Utah's hand in the state's fight for rights to more .water from the Colorado river; and secondly, to conserve runoff and underground water within the state's borders and along its many small streams. Other action during the week wasn't quite so harmonious. For one thing, a bi-partisan split in the ' senate killed a measure Increasing In-creasing salaries of supreme court justices by $25 monthly. In the house Republican opposition opposi-tion to "further governmental controls" killed a measure regulating regu-lating the watchmaking trade. At the top of the calendar for Monday morning In the senate are two bills which may create quite a furore. One is the so-called Bo-den Bo-den bill, clarifying the county commission vacancy law. The other is the headless ballot proposal pro-posal which eliminates straight "blind" party voting. The latter bill was brought up briefly in the senate yesterday, but the session was recessed for party members to get together and decide policy on the bill. Suit Demands Crash Damages Damages of $620, plus $10 per day during the pendency of the action, are sought in a Fourth district court suit filed by Paul Warthen against Arthur Leland Huntsman over a Spanish Fork canyon truck-car crash. The accident, which occurred Jan. 18, 1947, wss the result, warthen contended, of Huntsman crossing the center line three feet onto the wrong side of the road. Warthen, driving jt truck, was coming down the canyon near Mm r oric. He alleges tnat Huntsman, Hunts-man, coming up the canyon in a car, crossed the center line and struck the rear part of the truck, tearing off the rear wheels and rack of the latter and damaging the frame. He seeks $600 damages to his truck, $20 special damages and $10 per day during the pendency of the action because he claims he has been deprived of -the use of his truck. Tax Commission Issues 4235 Ccr Plates To Date .A total of 4233 sets of 19471 automobile license plates have been issued. to date by the Provo district office of the Utah State Tax commission, not quite a third of the total issue anticipated, Clifford W. BeardaJ, manager, said, following close of the office Saturday. Track owner have been v considerably slower about retting licenses, with only 30$ from an Anticipated 500$ getting their elates to 4te. The .office estimates it has. 1I.7CI passenger plates still to issue. Because of new ears on the market, the tax commission com-mission authorities believe the license plate business will be a t least a trifle heavier heav-ier than last year. Mr. Beardal pointed out that motorists have only until Feb. 28, and urged a "do your license shopping early" campaign to avoid, if possible, the usual last minute rush. The tax commission office, room 102 on the lower floor of the city and county building, is open 0 a. m. to 5 p. m. Monday through Friday and 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. on Saturday.
