By Franklin Nielsen ' Although property owners on West Maple Street in Mapleton donated the f light -of-way for a sidewalk safety project, the project may not be com-l com-l pleted, said Councilman John Bleggi. t The Department of Transportation is ? furnishing most of the funds for the ! project with some revenue expected frorn Mapleton. -i Utah Power and Light Company, with instructions from a previous councilman, coun-cilman, is in the process of moving two large poles which were in the way of the I project;' Bleggi said. Cost to the city for moving the poles will be about $5,000. 'This part of the project was ordered H3ast November by Councilman Morris ;3Varren. then in charge of the project. t'lah Power & Light Co. was not told to 4iold up on moving the poles while the ;i1y debated about the funding needed finish the project, Bleggi said. ir. Tax Revenue is not coming in as fast f as projected in the budget council was sfjold in council meeting March 16. Sales f taxes are lower this year. Building i permit revenue is also considerably lower and revenue from franchise taxes will not be as much as expected. Property taxes were reported to be down. However, with some auditing work completed during the week, property tax revenue is now reported to le about on target with budget estimates. Auditors expect that revenue will be about $20,000 short of the estimate by June 30, the end of the budget year. Following . another closed session Tuesday flight, Mayor Wendell Johnson said 'there" would be anannouhcement about the suspended Chief of Police next Monday. In a telephone conversation con-versation with John Colianni The Herald reporter learned that Colianni would submit a resignation to the Mayor on Friday of this week. The referbishing project in council chambers with walnut paneling and upholstered chairs appears to be nearing completion. Council has also authorized the purchase of new file cabinets for the offices. Following the appointment of the subcommittee chairmen, Eugene E. Carr AICP, of A P Associates, explained ex-plained the study guide and city Ixiundaries. It was noted that the current comprehensive plan of Springville was completed and adopted y ten years ago. Since that time,'; Springville, and much of southern Utah County, have grown far beyond the ; growth predicted ten years ago. The y -1!72 projections of population v for I Springville and Utah County for the year 2(KK) have already been exceeded. '; Changes Other significant changes since 1972 are considerable expansion in . size because of annexation of properties, mainly in the north and west along the freeway, but also including the west fields, land west to Provo Bay, '; properties in Hobble Creek Canyon, and south to Mapleton and Spanish Fork. ; With the rapid growth of the area and s changes that have accompanied that ; growth, the city recognizes a responsibility respon-sibility to prepare for the impacts and changes in urban lifestyle that will come in the future. Spring cleanup taking shape Preparations for the spring cleanup are already taking shape. Districts are organized, neighborhood chairmen have been chosen and they are surveying sur-veying their areas trying to find just who may need help, said Mrs. Nola Palfreyman, chairman of the city's beautification committee. Already people are getting their yards cleaned up and hauling trash to the dump. "That's good," Mrs. Palfreyman said, "Just what we like. But let's all remember our special day on April 13 and have a front yard project going. We want it to be a fun day where we all work together to improve our city. . .the place we call home." 1 LUf UfU ttiflffffd ui 111 C At the LDS Women's women from all oyer the murcn. ine painungs legacy Art bhowing on :March 17 in the state exhibit hall adjacent to ithe Symphony Hall, one of Donna Ralphs' oil paintings "Autumn" was spotlighted. $J Donna, along with 42 (C other outstanding LDS women artists had their paintings hung for a special showing that day.

She said that after a very bad day in calss. she was ready to put away her brushes, but decided to give it one last chance by doing one painting each day until her next class. Her winning painting is one of those paintings. She feels very honored to have had her painting accepted with so much talent V Donna Ralphs Mapleton cleanup guidelines told Mapleton's annual clean up is underway this week. Major help from the National Guard and citizens organized through the LDS Church in liauling trash is slated for Saturday. David Nemetka. chairman of the event, has given the following guidelines so citizens can get their homes and farms cleaned up. 1. Trash should be placed on the street by 10 a.m. Saturday. 2. Burnable and non-burnable non-burnable material should lie separated. :i. The city should be called in advance on Thursday or Friday to arrange for large item pick up. including tree stumps, cememt chunks or car bodies. Separating the trash into burnable and non-burnable non-burnable piles will save the city money. Nemelka explained. The non-burnable non-burnable material will not have to be hauled to the dump at a cost to the city. . The process of up-dating the comprehensive com-prehensive plan began with contracting the services of the firm of A-P Associates - Planning and Research, of Salt Lake City. The consultants have assisted thecity by outlining a planning program. The program began by sending the quest ionaire to all residents which was or will be received with the March utilities billing. The questionaire seeks some basic information about the character of the population and asks residents to express their attitudes on important local issues. The results of the survey will be extremely helpful to the planning efforts, city fathers said. When complete, the comprehensive plan will establish policies for the growth of the city, residential densities, street location and construction, commercial and industrial development, develop-ment, downtown improvement, public utilities and facilities, and other vital functions.

When you have a three or four to one ratio in legislative work you don't get as fair and as good a quality of service from the lawmakers as you do when the ratio is closer to being equal.

I sponsored the Shade Tree Commission, the Safe Sidewalks Bill and other legislation to help our educatjpnajystern.; yes! I believe it is time to give the legislature a more equal balance."

Colton Free vision clinics for pre-schoolers Free vision clinics to lest three and four year olds will be onducted March 30 at Grant School and Mapleton School. Hulh clinics will be held in the afternoon from 2-4:30 p.m. According to the Hah Sate Office of Education's Division of Services for the Visually Handicapped, these clinics are offered to test preschool children for Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) and other possible vision problems. "The lime to detect and treat Amblyopia is before children enter the school program." states J. Fred Whileny. longtime sKH ialisl with the slate's sight conservation efforts. ef-forts. "Not only are tin" chances for detection much Ix'ller at an early age. but the odds of prevent ing blindness or lierniancnt disability are. also, greatly enhanced," Whitney explains. In recent years great strides have been made in the detection of Amblyopia Am-blyopia among the state's children. However, there arc still thousands of preschool age children who are not screened each year in Utah. Approximately Ap-proximately half of the new students entering the public school program are not screened for Amblyopia. ' I cannot over emphasize em-phasize the need to make these referrals at the preschool level," concludes con-cludes Whitney. He emphasizes. "whatever our mistakes as parents and educators, let s not be short sighted with respect io our children." Every child to enter school in KW3 should be screened, at this time. Several Eagle projects are completed each year by young men coordinating coor-dinating various phases of Ihe clean up. Twelve trucks from each of the six LDS wards are scheduled with corresponding manpower. man-power. Men and trucks will cover thejr own ward areas.
