No candidate has yet announced his intention to run for office, but it is expected that full tickets, will be readily a-vailable a-vailable on both the Citizens and the Peoples parties. City officials whose terms expire ex-pire this year include Mayor J. W. Gillman, Councilman Woodruff Wood-ruff Jensen, Councilman E. H. Johnson, Councilman A. A. Richards, Rich-ards, Councilman Vic Durham, City Recorder Orland E. Pyne and City Treasurer Ada Skinner. Councilman Philo T- Edwards is a holdover. New statutes passed by the recent state legislature provide that third class cities, which Orem Or-em is, will elect a mayor, two councilman and the city recorder for four year terms, And eventually event-ually all city officials will be elected for the four-year terms instead of the present system of naming one four-year council-and council-and the other officers to two- year terms. According to Hugh Vera Wentz, city attorney, the statute stat-ute passed by the legislature reads as follows: "In the year 1949 there shall be elected in cities and towns of the third class, a mayor, a uty recorder and two council-wen council-wen for a term of four years, and two councilmen and a city treasurer for a term of two years, and every four years thereafter a mayor, a city recorder re-corder and two councilmen for a term of four years. "In the year 1951 there shall "e elected three councilmen and J city treasurer f0r a term of tour years, and every four years theeafter."

THURSDAY JULY, 21, 1949 Hope for New Post Office Seen , Hope was renewed in Orem this week that new and larger quarters might yet be obtained for the local post office with the receipt here of letters by acting Postmaster Leo Broadheaa and Bil Baker from Congresswoman Reva Beck Bosone indicating . that approval would soon be giv-en giv-en by the Post Office depart-jment depart-jment for the Orem office to j lease larger quarters for a ten (year period. Peviously, bids had been received and rejected as "too high." j Copies of a letter written to Congresswoman Bosone by F. D. Buckley, acting fourth assistant ! postmaster general were included includ-ed in the communications received re-ceived by Mr. Broadhead and I Mr. Baker. Mr. Buckley's letter states that bids of Fred Davies and Fred Fiddling; are bteing considered by Postal Inspector John M. Knudsen and postal authorities in Washington, D C Mr. Davies offered to build a structure between Center and First North Streets on the west side of State Street. Mr. Field. ing's bid designated a location between State Street and First East Street for his proposed building. Although this site has the dsadvantage of being located in a narrow street, Mr. Buckley recommended it because the rental was much lower than the Davies bid. As yet, neither bid has been accepted by the postal department, depart-ment, but hope for an early decision de-cision was voiced by local residents. res-idents.

In keeping with the spirit of that challenge the Orem-Geneva Times will begin this week the story of a house. The house a real one is to be known as the Orem-Geneva Times Model Home and is under construction, as of this week, at 146 East Center Cen-ter Street a block and one-naif east of the City Hall. Keeping pace with Orem's building boom and to serve as a pattern from which local home planners, and dreamers, might get constructive ideas and suggestions, sug-gestions, the home's process will be reported weekly in this column. The thrills, the head aches, the problems, the costs, the calculations and miscalculations miscalcul-ations of the building will be recorded re-corded for your enjoyment and information. Completion date is set for October. Of brick construction, the Orem-Geneva Times Model Home will have two bedrooms, a living-dining room, a kitchen, bath and full basement, it is located on a corner lot and will face north. Picture windows in the living-dining room and front bedroom will take in a magnificent magnif-icent view of Mount Timpanog-os. Timpanog-os. To insure that the house will be built square with the road Leonard Beckman, Orem City engineer, directed the staking of the lot corners and house corners. corn-ers. Next thing Bill Jacobson got on the job with his excavating excavat-ing equipment and dug the basement base-ment Inasmuch as there are to be three-foot windows in the basement, the hole was not as deep as basements having smaller small-er windows. Next will be the pouring of the footings and the basement. More about this next week. Ramblings It's rumored that plans are in the offing to divide Vermont Ward- The new Vermont chapel is not yet completed, but the ward division will not create any problems as far as the chapel chap-el is concerned. Each ward cfeated from Vermont will own the chapel jointly and conse quently will have to raise more money to finish it. We understand that several of the clubs here are discussing the building of a new 'Welcome to Orem sign at the city limits- This is a fine idea, but heres hoping they don't plan on put ting it up at either the North or South entrance to the city. The Orem 20-30 club signs are doing a good job there. A least two other entrances to the city on the East and West need wel come signs- That's a good proj ect for one or all the clubs.
