Chairman Harold Holley was in charge of the meeting and following fol-lowing the reading of minutes of the previous .meeting called for reports front the various chairmen and chairwomen. Mrs. W. R. Halllday reported on the Art show stating that this year's display was the best yet staged and that It had drawn a much greater crowd than ever before. Display fcnlts had to be built and need for an extra $25.00 for expenses was expressed. This amount was allowed by motion of the group. Grant Ivins made the report on the evening show stating that it was a very satisfactory performance per-formance and the mammoth ticket sales were! above any year remembered. tie announced that $300 had been advanced and that another $150 00 was yet due the manager of the vaudeville. In concluding he stated that the. Chuck Wagon at the park had made a net profit of $13.00. - Mr, Ivins made three suggestions sug-gestions for another year's celebration. cele-bration. They were: 1 Largest prize be drawn for first; 2 That Steel Day be held earlier in the season; 3 That committees be appointed earlier so that planning plan-ning and work could be started before the first of the year. These recommendations met the approval of the majority of the committee present. However David Greenwood and some others oth-ers argued ior the Labor Day date as having merit. Mrs. Ora Chlpman reported on the queen selection and recommended recom-mended that the same type of program be carried out another year, since It had proven ' most satisfactory this; time. '' Dick Hunter reported oh the advertising and -publicity of Steel Day and was .highly com pllmental of all papers and radio response except that of the Salt Lake Tribune. He expressed the feeling that the committee had been "taken" on an advertising deal by this paper and that its publicity for the day was very skimpy. This same criticism was also expressed by others of the committee. Mr. Hunter felt the Steel Day committee should have more street streamers for use in advertising ad-vertising and suggested that the group should purchase or make them rather than rent from 8alt Lake, as in the pasUIt was decided de-cided to ask local club groups to assist in making these needed streamers for another year, some seven to ten in number. Police Chief Leo Van Wagoner expressed praise for the splend-ed splend-ed aid given the local police force in handling traffic and problems during the day by state patrolmen. A vote of thanks to local and state officers of-ficers was ordered written by the group. A motion carried unanimously unanimous-ly that a letter expressing thanks to all concerns having floats in the parade be written and mailed. mail-ed. The . awarding . of .. two.... prizes this year instead of one as usual bad caused some public criticism of the day Mayor Willard Cleg-horn Cleg-horn said and very plainly and emphatically stated that the drawing was absolutely fair to the entire public. He told how the announcement announce-ment had been made to the I crowd from the stand that the first ticket drawn from the wheel would win a bicycle and how the second ticket drawn would win the Chevrolet automobile. auto-mobile. Mr. and Mrs. Elbert 8. Hales,, whose son had the stub for the ticket winning the bicycle, were in attendance and Mrs. Hales expressed. herself as not .being entirely satisfied with the arrangement. ar-rangement. The matter was freely discussed In the meeting and all ideas aired fully. Mayor Cleghorn concluded with the statement that the drawing had been made very fairly and the prizes awarded and there was no way of calling back these gifts already awarded. The lateness of the hour prevented pre-vented the committee getting to the bills and the financial matters mat-ters of the day o the meeting was adjourned for one week. Firty sff eras of aA iruoufafr tared gas eomo trota eoaL ; City to Repair Streets Next Spring A. H. Sorensen, consulting city engineer, Enoch Smith Sons, sewer contractor, with the mayor may-or and city council Monday ev ening formulated a plan to rebuild re-build most of the damaged city streets following the completion of the sewer system in the coming com-ing few weeks. Since the completion of the city sewer project will be so late this fall and since it is absolutely absolute-ly necessary to give the trenches across the streets time to settle if proper grades are to be bad on the streets, it was the opinion of the city officials, the contractor contrac-tor and engineer that the logical logi-cal procedure for the city would be to let all streets have the win ter months to settle and adjust before the hard surface mater ials are put down. It was point ed out that the sewer contractor under his contract could immediately immed-iately patch the cut trenches and put them In acceptable condition con-dition to meet his contract this fall, but in the course of a winter and the coming year many of them would settle, enough to leave dips in all the roads and eventually a complete road Job over all streets affected would be necessary. By putting up with the pres ent cuts until winter sets in the trenches would have a chance to get wet with the fall storms and most of the settling would take place through the winter. Early next spring all streets will be graded and turnplked and the top oil treatment rolled down. Thus the fun 11. miles of city streets would be placed In the best. possible. condition and the surfacing would give us the bulk of our streets in a fine condition. The sewer contract provides $37,000 for street reconstruction and with the other state funds for city road work the full street program can be effectively constructed con-structed for good streets into the far future, it was agreed. . In the discussion it was pointed poin-ted out that It takes about $3,800 per mile to complete this type of street construction. Thus with available city funds and the-sewer replacement street funds the full 11 miles of strets could be regraded and rebuilt. It was finally decided to follow this thinking and plan the job of settling the streets during the winter and hard surfacing the 11 miles early next spring. Mr. A. Coleman, from the Pro-vo Pro-vo Employmnt Security Office, agreed with American Fork city officials that it would serve North Utah County welfare peo ple better if a year round office for distribution or an weuare checks for the north third of the county be made from the Amer ican Fork office now open Just north- of the People State. Bank. building. This would save hundreds - of people finding transportation to Provo each -pay period and wasting was-ting a half day or more to make the trip. All effort will be expended ex-pended to make this a full year office program it was decided by the city council. A motion carried to ask the state road commission to furnish and place, road markers directing direct-ing traffic to American Fork Canyon north on First East Street and to the hospital on Fourth East. The matter of a request for the covering of the irrigation ditch with a culvert In front of the. former Dye store building was discussed and taken under advisement. On .suggestion of Councilman Jones the city officers re-ap pointed the 1952 baseball com mittee to act for the coming rear. The matter of extending the sewer line north on Center St. to the cemetery to accommodate a new home on the. Ashby prop erty was taken under advisement pending a check by the city en- rineer. . Councilman " Keller reported that "chips., will be laid this week on the new stretch of road south from, the hospital, corner on 4th Cast Street. , - American Fork voters tell Into line with the state majority and gave substantial totals to Wat-kins, Wat-kins, Granger, Olade, Lee, Dawson, Daw-son, Bosone, Elmer , and Jones for the principal state and county officers. .
