The 300 women with the first to start arriving in January 1977 will be housed on the center in separate dorms, which are now being readied for their arrival. Mapleton city fathers have expressed concern over the complaints they are receiving regarding tax increases. It seems some property owners are pointing the blame at the city for the tax increase, which sometimes amounts to more than twice the assessment last year, officials said. It was noted that the city was limited by law to an increase of six percent which resulted in a decrease in the city mill levy from 23.00 mills to 9.51 mills because of the reassessment For every 100 paid in taxes by Mapleton property owners, only $16.44 goes to the city, officials pointed out. The biggest lump in the tax dollar goes to Nebo School District, they said, with $68.47 of every $100 going to the district. Other breakdowns are paid to the county, that is $12.96 of every $100, and to the Central Utah Water Conservation District, a total of $2.13. Officials have prepared a chart showing tax distribution breakdown and are asking that tax payers consult the chart to determine where their tax dollars are being spent. Other issues Other issues discussed by Mapleton City Council last week included work on the girls soft-ball soft-ball diamond, a wastewater use plan in southern Utah County, other water problems,, and possible restrictions on city-owned city-owned vehicles and property. Councilman Morris Warren reported that work will begin soon on the girls softball diamond in northwest Mapleton, and added that the park on 1600 North east of the city shops will be cleared of weeds and leveled. A water system will be installed in-stalled and grass planted within See table on page 4 No. It isn't snow. And it isn't spring. But, yes, those are apple blossoms on this leafless apple tree growing near Springville's Evergreen cemetery. The warm spring-like weather apparently has caused the blossoms to emerge in, of all months, November. The Springville Herald received a call last week from an observant ob-servant reader who reported seeing the blossoming tree. And the camera proves it. The tree Is not covered with blossoms by any means like it might be in the spring, but they are there and you can go and see for yourself if you doubt it The Chamber of Commerce is looking for a .large evergreen tree to use for the city Christmas tree. Anyone who has such a tree on their yard which they would like to donate is asked to please contact the Chamber of Commerce office, 489-4681 or 489-6961. the next week or so, he added. Mr. Warren noted that the work will take the entire $2,500 appropriated ap-propriated for the project and futher improvements next spring may have to be furnished recreation fund. Councilman Don Korth gave a report on the water and sewer study made for southern Utah County which stated that it would be feasible for Mapleton to work with either Springville or Spanish Fork for sewage treatment. He said Springville officials have indicated that if they send their sewage to Provo for treatment, Mapleton may be considered in this plan as well. Councilmen said that installing in-stalling a big trunk line and other main lines will be very costly, and could be prohibitive if the federal government does not give them a grant to cover most of the cost. Council discussed the urgent need for developing springs in Maple Canyon and utilizing all of the water, but the cost of the project is out of the city's reach at this time. Mr. Korth said he is getting a lot of complaints from people living in Westwood Subdivision who have found that they cannot obtain building permits without agreeing to pay for water lines and hook onto the city water system at some future time when the city is able to provide service in the area. Lots of 2Vi acres are being sold in the subdivision with permits to drill wells. The city owns a deep well on the Westwood property but has been unable to incorporate the Water into the city system because of lack of funds for the large lines required. Council members stood firm in backing the policy on the building permits as it has been in effect for several years. On another matter, council decided that guidelines to be used on proper use and restrictions that might be applied ap-plied to city-owned vehicles and property will be discussed with other cities to try to determine appropriate regulations. This foot bridge which crosses Hobble Creek at about 1000 South and 1300 East has finally given In to the stresses of time and has collapsed.

Repair probably will not be made until the bridge hits its place on the "priority scale" Mayor Creer said. The area lies partly in the county, the mayor explained, and therefore the city and county are trying to "get their heads together" at this time to see what can be worked out.
