Membership dues are $10 per year for individual membership, member-ship, or $25 and up, according to size, for businesses. Dues may be paid at any time during the year, but Mrs. Snow that the petition was misrepresented as neighbors were told that Chidister would turn the area into a junk yard.

This requirement. Black said, makes it impractical to sell the lot for building as it would cost too much to build a road for just one home. Black has already built one home on the second lot and the old home was on the first lot. A mortgage to the city on the third lot was given as a performance bond that Black would complete the road and would install water lines to the back lot. Alternatives presented by Black included in-cluded dropping plans for the subdivision sub-division and not building on the third lot, or to have the city give permission for a smaller private road. The city could also install the road and sell the lot to cover the cost involved. If the city releases the lot without requiring Black to install the road, the city would have then created an illegal lot where Black built the second home, Councilman John Bleggi said. Both of the homes in this subdivision are now serviced by existing streets and water lines.

Councilman Murdock said that all problems have been worked out and that the documents will soon be ready to sign. The state road department met with Springville and Mapleton city officials to determine the nature of the intersection in-tersection on Canyon Drive and Main Street which will be constructed across the creek bottoms. The state people wanted to build an island and other grading to make the road to Mapleton the main course of traffic, with a stop sign for traffic coming down the street from the canyon. Springville city officials argued that for the time being the main flow of traffic will be down the canyon and that the road should be built to accomodate, the strongest flow of traffic. After the discussion the state decided to eliminate the traffic island and make an adequate intersection and determine later which way the stop sign should read. After some discussion it was decided to seek bids for propane conversion kits for four police cars. It was noted that the kits could be obtained for around Continued on Page 2 stressed the membership campaign is now going and she would like to see members join as soon as possible. Last year there were 115 members in the Chamber. The duties of the Chamber of Commerce, Mrs. Snow said, are to work for the city, to help upgrade it, to act as liaison between the city and businesses. It is not the purpose, she said, to sere only one business, but to help all of the in. weather conditions. The tank which was filled last fall and showing signs of leaks will be drained and the leaks will be patched. The tank will then be refilled for another test. The contractor may disinfect the tank and refill with purified water for the second test and take a chance that the leaks will have been patched, Kent Wheeler said. Otherwise the contractor will be responsible for paying the cost of the water for the second test. Many of the roads torn up by contractors con-tractors installing water lines in the city are deteriorating after being resurfaced last fall. Wheeler noted 1600 South, 800 West, and 1200 North in particular. The contractors will be invited to work with the city in making repairs and some of the money from the water project can be channeled to help resurface some of these roads. In other council considerations, the Main Street extension project will soon I underway. Don Korth received permission from the council to check the feasibility of the city setting up a cable TV franchise which would be operated by the city. Korth said that consideration for the city to develop a power supply would be too costly, but that operation of a city-owned cable system would provide revenues for the city. |
