The mayor and members of the city council met on Mon- jay with City Engineer Leon-! rd Beckman to decide upon a location for the reservoir which fill replace the present inadequate inade-quate 675,000 gallon basin now used for city water storage. j J A 27-acre site three quarters if a mile northwest of the old jinit north of the cemetery and fast of Timpanogos Bowl was tentatively decided upon as a suitable site. Inasmuch as this property is now owned by the founty, negotiations to purchase jt will be entered into soon with the county commission. i j Mr. Beckman, who is engineer jor the project, reports that the lite is easily accessible and that there is adequaate room in the jicinity to add more shortage tanks should the need arise. Present plans call for a plate steel enclosed tank with auto matic controls. Work on thje reservoir could be completed jrithin one year following the bond election this fall, if the pro ject is approved, according to Mr. Beckman. 'I ' I Accommodate Population I It is reported that the capacity capac-ity of the new reservoir will be Sufficient to supply a 50 per cent Increase in population here j Orem's present storage basin is being taxed to the limit to supply the-present demand for water. ! Water Exchange Seen 1 Meanwhile efforts to increase the flow of available water into in-to Orem City lines were being tnade this week. A tentative agreement ag-reement was expected between Provo City and Orem which involves an exchange of certain water rights in Provo Canyon. Developed by Mayor Gillman in an effort to utilize Orem's water holdings more profitably, Orem Trailer Court Gets Merit Citation Orem Trailer Court on U.S. 91 has merited the approval of the Trailer Coach Manufactures Manufactur-es Association, it was announced announc-ed by TCMA officials today.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, the proposed exchangfe would mean that Orem would use Provo's share of the Yellow Jacket Ja-cket springs in return for Or-em's Or-em's share of Lost Creek water. Although the exchange would mean the loss of .18 second feet off water to Orem.the saving in the amount of pipe necessary to connect the Yellow Jacket sour ce would offset the difference. Only 3000 feet of line would have to be constructed by Orem from its pipes to the Yellow Jacket, while 4200 feet of pipe would have to be laid to connect with Lost Creek. Obstacles in the way of laying the Lost Creek line include a rough terrain, ter-rain, and the posibility that a law suit might ensue from turning turn-ing the water into the Alta ditch to make the connection. Attempting to work out an amicable agreement betwen the two cities involved, Mayor Gill- man, Councilman Woodruff Jensen Jen-sen and City Attorney H. Vern Wentz met with the Provo City Commission Tuesday morning. Since it was recognized that Provo could save Orem considerable consid-erable expense while going to none itself by making the switch, swit-ch, both Orem and Provo attorneys attor-neys were instructed to prepare a tentative agreemnt to be presented pres-ented to the Provo City Commission Com-mission and Orem City Council for approval within the week.

Book Review This book can be checked out of the Orem Library: THE AMERICAN ' By Howard Fast "The American is a novel which tells the story of John Peter Altgeld of Illinois, a latter-day latter-day Lincoln, who sacrificed money, health and political power to become the champion of democracy and the foe of greed and corruption.

Barker, president, pres-ident, Associated General Contractors Con-tractors of America, intermount-ain intermount-ain branch, said. Labor, he said, is also more plentiful and more productive than in the past. All materials with the exception of steel and cement, are improving or ample in most areas. "Utah contractors." said Mr Barker, "have enough work to keep them busy for the remain der of 1948." Vastly Improved On the whole, he asserted, the labor situation is vastly improv ed. He explained that spotty shortages of craftsmen were occurring throughout the state-Those state-Those in greatest demand are bricklayers, plasterers, pipefitters, pipefit-ters, and plumbers. However, said Mr. Barker, the shortages are not general. This was cited as a noticeable improvement over the labor situation a year ago. "Utah's construction potential is greater than in most parts of the nation," the AGC official added. "For that reason, contractors con-tractors are anticipating work into the next two or three years and possibly beyond."

Poor Grading Hurts Utah Fruit Market, Researchers Declare New methods xof utilization of Utah's fruit crops and new methods meth-ods of handling, grading, shipping ship-ping and marketing is indicated indicat-ed in the results obtained by orchardists of the state in the last few years, it was pointed out to business, industrial and agricultural leaders of Utah County in a meeting held last week by members and researchers research-ers of the National Resources Committee of the Utah Association Associat-ion of Chamber of Commerce Executives. The meeting, third in a series being held throughout the state, was arranged by Clayton Jenkins, Jen-kins, secretary of the Provo Chamber of Commerce. It was attended by representatives from American Fork, Spring-ville, Spring-ville, Orem and Provo. Utah, once rated highly in all markets for its fruits, is losing its position due to strides by other fruit producing states rather than its own losses, oc-cording oc-cording to Dr. EIRoy Nelson, acting director of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research of the University of Utah, which is directing a survey and analysis anal-ysis of the state's resources. In the case of the apple crop, he pointed out, a surplus went to wastd in 1947. Last winter, however, Utah housewives were buying apple sauce prepared, packaged and shipped from New York State. Lack of processing plants in Utah was responsible. On the Denver market' recently pint cups of Orem raspberries were selling for the same or low- I er Pr'ce than Colorado berries in j half-pint cups. The reason was the reputation being acquired by Utah horticulture products due to improper or no grading at all. More and more, indications are being given by the survey that unless Utah obtains stand- ard or uniform grading eitner I thrnneh laws nr tlroueh vol- untary cooperation through co- operatives, all markets will be iost with top fruit only in size, color and texture going to fresh fruit, and canning markets, he pointed out, the remainder of the crops could be salvaged in the manufacture of jams and jellies. |
