The committee, set up as a perman-t perman-t nnn-Drofit corporation res- non'ible to the city council., has charge of plannins and stag-munitv stag-munitv event each ..oar designed to promote bus ; and serve as a colorful advertisement for the city. The above paragraph, not a factual statement, is wishful thinking- It is the kind of think-ir think-ir that a lot of prominent people are doing. Nearly every city of any consequence in Utah has long had permanent organizations set up to carry out fairs, celebrations, celebrat-ions, etc. Orem, Utah's fifth city, and the only valid claimant to the Geneva Steel plant, has no such organization to promote pro-mote and unify the community. As a result, it is left pretty much to chance every year. It isn't too late to get busy. It's worth doing. It ought to be done! Split Due? Don't be surprised if Orem and Sharon stakes are divided some time this year to form another an-other stake. The last two stake conferences have seen the Scera auditorium packed to capacity. And what with the building boom getting underway even now in Orem you can look for We could be wrong. If a new I lake is created our choice for f a name would Jbe Geney? stake. Clean-Up Some mighty industrious people are getting in some good licks cleaning up around their property. We've seen a few fires lit, and wonder if the well-meaning well-meaning citizens have obtained fire burning permits from Fire Chief Scott Thompson- That's the law, we hear- , State Street Rezonin Referred by Council To Zone Commission The Orem City Zoning Commission has under consideration consid-eration the re-zoning of State Street for business after the matter was referred to that body by the Orem City Council on Monday night. At present Orem's State Street from 20fh North to 20th South is designated as commercial commer-cial district under the city zoning statute enacted April 10, 1946. The question of re-zoning Orem's business district has been under discussion, for some time by local businessmen busin-essmen and was formally brought to the attention of the city council bv Bill Baker, Orem builder, who sent a letter to Mayor J. W. Gillman urging that a study be made of the zoning problem. "Public sentiment has changed on the 'wide open' business bus-iness zoning," he stated. Mr. Baker suggested that the. high mortality rate of Orem's stores might be lowered and new stores encouraged to locate here if State Street were re-zoned to group business into a more concentrated area so that shopping centers could develop. Mayor Gillman remarked to the council that the prop- 1 erty owners between 9th North and 9th South are paying pay-ing for curb and gutter with the understanding that this area, at least, will remain commercial. It would be unthinkable to change the status of this area, he said. The council agreed that the matter of re-zoning should be studied and referred it to the zoning commission. commiss-ion. Under Section 8 of Orem's zoning ordinance the procedure pro-cedure is given for making changes in city zoning: It shall be lawful for the City Council from time to time as necessity may raise to change or modify the boundary of such districts, or any of them or any of the regulations or restrictions with respect, to zoning or use of land. In, each instance where any person shall desire to have such chnp-e made petition shall be made to the City Council definitely setting out the request and particularizing ihp change desired. Such petition, together with any protests pro-tests thereto, shall be referred to the Zoning Commission, Commiss-ion, upon receipt of the petition from the city council, may call a hearing on the proposed change, after which said Zoning Commission shall make its recommendation to the City Council. After receiving f,he recommendation the City Council shall call a public hearing before making mak-ing its own decision. - Members -of the Orem -Zoning"- Commission who will study and probably hold hearings on the matter include Councilman Ted Simmons, Thomas Cordner, D. Orlo Allen, All-en, George Wells and Henry Campbell. Under Section 1 of the zoning ordinance the city engineer and a member of the Adjustment Board should also serveton, the zoning zon-ing commission, but to date these appointments have not been made. Chamber Office Orem Library Consolidate The office of the Orem Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce and the Orem Publ c Library will be consolidated consol-idated effective March 15.
