Mr. Memmott asked ask-ed that the minimum frontage be reduced to 55 feet and that IKa f ; A -J t O A V mnivi- f tained. Mr. Memmott said that j the difference in the frontage ( would involve a saving which could be passed on to the buy-j buy-j s of homes in his hew sub-t sub-t division. I Mayor J. W. Gillman told Mr. I Memmott that the council was ; empowered only to follow the recommendations of the Plan- ning Commission in the matter.

The commission recommended recommend-ed that no change be made in 'he ordinance and that the Memmott plat be approved as bmHted with the 65-foot lots. The council moved to accept the (recommendations of the commission. commis-sion.

Gardner of Salt Lake Citv member of the inspection serv ice of the Postoffice department Mr. Gardner spent five days in Orem to study the possibility of establishing here a house-to-house delivery system, but declared de-clared following his survey that such a system is not feasible at this time. His recommendation, instead, is that an additional route be added in order to improve im-prove postal service here. Mr. Gardner came to Orem as a result of requests by the Orem Chamber of Commerce that house-to-house service be established. estab-lished. He mapped Orem streets, sidewalks, crosswalks, street lighting, proximity of houses in particular areas and other phases phas-es of mail delivery problems.

Semit Orem-Geneva residents who motored to Salt Lake City last weekend to do some shopping were able to capitalize on some choice "bargains" at Grand Central Market. Grand Central, with king-sized king-sized markets on South Main, in Sugarhouse and in Murray, is the pace-setter for meat, grocery groc-ery and produce prices, and in their double-page spread in Salt Lake papers last Saturday it was revealed that Idaho utility potatoes were going strong at 10 pounds for 45 cents. (At Dick Park's Super Market on this same day you could buy 10 pounds of fine White Cobblers or Russets for 25 cents ) Whole or half hams were 57 cents per pound at Grand Central and 55 at Park's. Ground beef was 45 in Salt Lake, 43 at Dick's in Orem. We bothered to compare Grand Central's impressive ad in the state papers with Dick Park's modest ad in the Orem-Geneva Orem-Geneva Times- It made interesting interest-ing reading, especially in View of the current "shop at home" campaign being sponsored by the local Jaycees. It made interesting inter-esting reading: There was ice cream, 49 cents a quart at Grand Central, 39 at Park's; pork roast was 47 cents there and 43 here; soaps, including includ-ing Oxydol, Duz, Tide and White King were 30 cents both places; t and identical prices were listed for mayonaise at 42 and coffee (all kinds) at 56; but if you wanted to save money on catsup, canned corn or peas, or on fresh cabbage, you could, do better in Orem at Park's. 1 Of course there were items on which GC could save you a cent or two. They had some 11 j cent bread and some 56 cent: eggs; and on Spry, Crisco, or Snowdrift you could save a penny pen-ny if you bought three pounds-However, pounds-However, if you were interest ed last Saturday in buying a roll of waxed paper, it was 19 cents per roll at Grand Central and two rolls for a quarter at Park's.
