Orders for the llshts and stand ards were placed in late 1946, but manufacturers at that time could not guarantee delivery in mucn under a year. Provo's improved "white way lighting system along Center street and University avenue should be installed by late sum mer also, Mr. Jacob said, pro viding nothing happens to upset present delivery schedules. Glass is now one of the nation's critical k materials, he pointed out. and this fact affects the city's program materially. A total of 250 Ilfhte are to be Installed throughout the subdivisions, about 10 In number. The new subdivision lit btlnr will be several times brighter than the present residential system, with four , times the lights in use per I block and a more- modern, brlUjant type to be installed. The utilities department has plans drawn to modernize existing exist-ing residential lighting, but the -city commission has definitely "approved only the modernized ... white way in the business section ' and the new subdivision lighting. Total cost of the three phases, new subdivisions, modernizing exist ing residential, and modernizing the white way in the -business section, has been estimated at $168,000. The new mercury type lights to be used on Center and University Uni-versity will give five times more light than the present fixtures, according to results, of tests conducted con-ducted by the utilities department. depart-ment. They will extend from First East to Fifth West on Center Cen-ter street, and from Third South to Fifth North on University. University will be relighted, however, its entire distance from Sixth South to 12th North, with an incandescent type to be installed in-stalled from Fifth to 12th North and from Third to Sixth South, not as brilliant as the mercury fixture but still a good deal brighter than residential lighting. The same poles will be used in the business section as are now being utilized, but a different bracket to attach the light will be installed. City Briefs Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

About 500 of those on hand are now installed in the northeast University Gardens and Y View subdivisions, with the project slowed momentarily because of a shortage of -inch pipe neces sary to the installation. Two crews have been working on the Job. City waterworks officials Saturday reminded citizens that the residential metering program whs a hard and fast stipulation of the million dollar waterworks improvement improve-ment bond issue, and is therefore there-fore an Inevitability. Before the bonds, were issued, the bonding company required that meters be Installed as quickly as possible. Waterworks Commissioner J. Earl Lewis has repeatedly assert' ed that water bills under the meter system will not be excessive exces-sive if people do not waste water, For several years, no single residence resi-dence homes in Provo have been metered, alhough all business houses and multiple - dwelling units classed as apartment houses have been on meters for some time. Monthly bills of the mul tiple-dwelling units, when figured on a per family basis, have com pared favorably with flat rates, being only slightly higher in most cases where they were above the flat figure. Meters will compel citizens who now waste water to pay for it, officials claim, a condition long considered necessary. Commissioner Lewis has said a graduated rate scale will be worked work-ed out for heavy users, such as those who wish to irrigate gardens gar-dens via sprinkling instead of ditch-irrigation method, and it is believed such use will not be financially prohibitive. This will be allowed after completion of the new 48-inch aqueduct now under construction, designed to relieve the present summer wa ter shortages and make plenty of water available. New Chemical Effective In Weed Control Freezing Unit Quick frozen foods may soon be on the menu of the Utah -State hospital, according to Superintendent Superin-tendent Dr. Owen P. Heninger. The institution has recently purchased a large refrigeration plant from the War Assets ad-administration. ad-administration. The plant must be moved from the Topaz relocation relo-cation center near Delta. It is hoped a quick-freeze unit can be installed. The plant will then serve as a storage for meats and other foods, and fruits and vegetables vege-tables .may be preserved by freezing instead of bottling. During March the hospital sent $12,060.54 from fees and collections collec-tions to the state treasurers office. of-fice. Expenditures for the month amounted to $29,583.20 for salaries sal-aries and personal services, $20,-443.43 $20,-443.43 for maintenance and $1357.84 for new equipment Dr. Heninger also said the hospital dairy herd showed a profit of $2463.62 during March. The planting of hospital hos-pital crops Is well under way with many of the early crops already in. The hospital has asked members mem-bers of the state finance commission com-mission to approve a proposal to lease 11 acres of land from Claude Carter, Provo. If the proposal pro-posal is approved the hospital plans to use the land for raising potatoes for the patients, Dr. Heninger stated. Officials listed the hospital population at the end of March as 1137. During the month 41 patients pa-tients were admitted and 37 released, re-leased, including 14 who were on "parole" when discharged. At a recent meeting with the state welfare commission, hospital hos-pital officials worked out several recommendations which they submitted to the state finance commission. These recommendations concerned the use of money appropriated for the next bi-enntum; bi-enntum; the number of attendants, at-tendants, nurses, physicians, and other employes needed to give better service; and a new salary schedule. The new salary schedule had the same beginning wage but offers of-fers better raises for longer service. serv-ice. Sophus Bertelson, chairman of the state welfare commission, and J. Parley White attended the meeting. Dr. P. T. Farnsworth, ' . 1 . I4 I 1 recenuy appointed merriuer was ill and did not attend, according to Dr. Heninger. Statistics The intermountain area played guinea pig last summer for tests of a new chemical which may mean tremendous savings in time, labor, and money to canal companies com-panies and irrigationlsts, it was revealed Saturday in a magazine article written by W. Harold Hirst of Provo, regional weed specialist special-ist for the bureau of reclamation. The trials, conducted by water users and reviewed by Bureau of Reclamation weed control special? ists, produced Impressive results in the control of water weeds that choke canals and ditches, according accord-ing to an illustrated article in the April issue of The Reclamation Era, official magazine of the bureau. bur-eau. The article discusses the result of tests made with Benoclor 3-C, a chemical developed by a naturalized na-turalized Belgian scientists after heavv mn in a rvnnrl nn hi Nu 'Jersey estate had claimed the lives of two swimmers. The scientist, Herman Seydel, found that an emulsified form of chlorinated hydrocarbon, a heavi-er-than-water chemical, would keep running water as well as still ponds free of moss. The bureau tests last year did not answer all questions about how it may be used, Mr. Hirst cautioned, but it did show that Bonolcor works rapidly, the cost is "less than average" and that "control may be achieved with comparatively little time, effort. and -equipment." The quantities needed to kill weeds in ditches are not sufficient suffic-ient to harm livestock or crop plants, according to tests made so far by the department of agricul ture, the article pointed out. Benoclor 3-C destroys the chor-ophyll chor-ophyll of plants, weeds losing their color and taking on a "cooked" "cook-ed" appearance within an hour after successful treatment. It was found that within "a few hours," the treated plants sink to he canal can-al bottoms and offer little resistance resist-ance to the flow of water without, however, clogging gages, turnouts and laterals as do weeds mechanically mechan-ically destroyed.
