"Orem City's municipal improvement program shifted abruptly from street improvement to a waterr program at Friday's regular- meeting of the city council, witd the an nouncement that the proposed curb and gutter pnject would be abandoned and that voters would probably be asked to vote on a $150,000 to $200,000 general obligaton bond to finance the construction of a ; reservoir and renovation of city water lines. :- The decision to abandon the. curb and gutter program came during a closed meeting. Members of the council said against the pro- Dr. Knowlton recommends two baitings to control any of the three kinds of weevils destroying des-troying roots of strawberries in Utah.

The, program called for the installation of five miles of curb and gutter along the highway, in connection with the state's proposal to surface to the curb the entire distance covered by the curb and gutter program. The state is still expected to surface sur-face to the curb at points near the canyon road and at Scera where curb and gutter already exists. Leonard Beckman, city engiij; eer, was given instructions on Friday to prepare a survey on the city water situation with proposals' for water lines and reservoir facilities on which the bond issue will be based this fall. The water program is expected ex-pected to utilize all of Orem's water rights in Provo canyon and center all the available water wa-ter the tity owns in a reservoir above the city at the base of Mt. Timpanogos. Mayor J. W. Gillman reported report-ed that the state road commission commiss-ion has given assurance that bids will be called for within a few days for widening the highway high-way through Orem for a distance dis-tance of 12 feet on each side of the present concrete. Roy Park, president of the Ore mRiding Club and Lions club and a director of the fair boardt asked the council for $5000 to build seats at the rodeo grounds for some sort of a cele-bratin cele-bratin which the clubs plan for this fall. The council agreed to consider the proposal. Since early, spring Mr. Park; ! Warning Issued On Use of v City Water Stiff penalties will follow arrests for ihe misuse of city .water, especially for sprinkling sprink-ling without a nozzle and for using city water for irrigation irriga-tion purposes, declared Mayor J. W. Gillman on Wednesday 7 The mayor reported ifyit persons violating city ordinances ordin-ances in those respects had been observed recently and that the practice would be tolerated tol-erated no longer. It was explained that although al-though there is plenty of water wa-ter for all, using water for irrigation purposes or sprinkling sprink-ling without a nozzle lowered the presure in the small city lines so that users on the far ends of the lines could get no water. There are many miles of two-inch lines in Orem, the mayor pointed out and in order or-der that pressure be maintained main-tained it is necessary fr users to comply with ihe rules. It is basically a matter of fair play and consideration for neighbors,' he said. Orem peace officers are being be-ing instructed to crack down on violators. Them Up Now Orem people were being urged ur-ged this week to take advantage of the bumber apricot crop and of the glutted market which are combining to make apricots the single exception to "out of hand" food prices. Choice apricots are selling in Orem for as little as $1 per bushel, bu-shel, and it is reported that some apricots will not be picked this year because of the unprofit able market price. The heavy crop, however, is giving housewives house-wives a chance to make some gains in the cost of living war, and home canners are expected to preserve more of the choice than ever before. Meanwhile the raspberry sea- son here was fast coming to a close this week, with pickers going over patches for the final time in most cases. The market for s Value 14 Percent in Up Year Orem became acknowledqed as the fastest growing city in Utah's fastest growing county this week with the publication public-ation by County Auditor Karl Bennett , of assessed valuation figures for the county. Orem, secorfd'to Provo in total assessed valuaton in the county, showed . a 14 percent increase in valuation for the past year, almost twice the increase showed by Provo, its nearest rival in growth. Orem has a total assessed valuation of $3,202,000 for 1948, an increase of $436,443 over the valuation val-uation last year. The county's over-all valuation was $78.-182,516, $78.-182,516, up five percent from last! year's figure of $74,325,- , ( 520. i "- The assessment figures include ; assessments made locally by i County assessor J.
