Mrs. Orpha Edwards, Ed-wards, 284 E. Nlnetta Circle, Orem, relates that she and her married daughter were traveling near Sandy Friday morning when her car had a flat tire.

When the deed was finished Mrs. Edwards asked how much she owed them but thought they were Joking when one replied, "$8.50". The other fellow Jumped out of his car and said, "That's $10.50, $2 for changing the tire." The two women managed to rake up $10.40 in change. They settled for that and sped away. Did they get the licence? No. Mrs. Edwards states they were both too frightened fright-ened to think of it.

Group Named to Study The future status of Oremi iCity's engineering department 'was still a question mark this iweek following the decision of the Orem City Council Monday inlght to take no action on pro Iposals to have aprivate engineer ing firm take over all the city's engineering work. Two weeks ago the Council heard the proposal made byRuss Brown of the engineering firm of Rollins. Brown and Gunnel for his firm to contract with the city for engineering services for an 18- month period. At that time the Council could not reach agreement on the proposal pro-posal which provided for the en gineering firm to employ the present employees of the Orem City EngineeringDepartmentand assume the responsibility for all the work. The cost for this ar rangement was to be the same as presently set up in the budget for the engineering department. 6-MONTH CONTRACT Mr. Brown met again with the Council on Monday night and pre sented a revised proposal based on a six-month contract. . "This proposal would likely not provide the same economies to the city which the 18-month con tract would . Mr. Brown said. St )., icy l T The new proposal provided" for one present employee of the city engineering department be transferred trans-ferred to the inspection department, depart-ment, and for the three other Elder Gerald Allred Johnson son of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood J.

These three men would work full-time in Orem and continue to use the present city equipment and facilities," Mr. Brown said. "They could also be used to assist in working on the storm sewer plans on a time-available basis, although no guarantee could be given as to the amount of this work which could be done." MOVE TO OREM Mr. Brown told the Council, "If the Orem Chamber of Commerce Com-merce can come up with an economical ec-onomical place for our firm to operate in. Orem, we would be glad to move our office to Orem." At this point Mayor G. Milton Jameson read a letter from the Orem Chamber of Commerce recommending that the city hire a full-time licensed engineer at .a salary commensurate with his abilities, and not enter into a contract engineering arrangement. arrange-ment. MEET PERSONALLY Mr. Brown told the Council he would be happy to meet personally per-sonally with the Orem Chamber of Commerce and review with them his proposals in detail so: . " I. V ft. -- 1 , 1.

Queeried by Carl Clegg, a businessman bus-inessman in the audience, Mr. Brown said he estimated about $6,000 to $7,000 would accrue to his engineering firm during the initial six-month period after salaries and other expenses of the engineering department were met. "From the city's standpoint, the only possible savings over the present arrangement might be additional work which could be' done for the city. Councilman James M. Para-more Para-more commented that in addition to this, the city would have the services of a licensed engineer available during this period, as well. C ouncilman Harley Gillman said, "It is my opinion that it is going to be a difficult thing for this Council, or any Council, to hire a licensed city engineer to do the Job needing to be done. Paying such an engineer the salary sal-ary he would demand would also throw out the present salary structure of the city." Mr. Gillman said he favored the 18-month contract arrange' ment as one under which more PRICE TEN CENTS 0 . ' f ;7'.

Councilman E. Dixon Larson sive study should be made of the city's entire operation. Mayor Jameson named Mr, Larson as chairman, to serve with Mr. Paramore and Councilman-elect StanLeavlttonathree-;man StanLeavlttonathree-;man committee to make the study.
