The new plant will manufacture manufac-ture "Burrellcrete," a pre-mixed pre-mixed concrete in bags, for distribution to the Western Markets. William L. Harbaugh, Bur-rell's Bur-rell's vice president of marketing, market-ing, stated that the new bagging bag-ging operation is an additional facility to the bagging plant in New Kensington, Pa., which supplies more than 1,000 building build-ing supply dealers with pre- Fork the lease, and questions from some undecided. Councilman Rod Turner acted act-ed as Mayor Pro Tern in the absence of Mayor Malcolm Beck who is in California participating parti-cipating in a water quality workshop. Some of the changes proposed at a similar meeting seats on sale for $3, $3.50 and $4 each. Due to the technical nature of ?he program, cameras or tape recorders will not be permitted in the auditorium at American Fork High School and babies and small children in arms will not be admitted.

Speaking for opponents of the lease, Dudley Collins outlined his objections and requested the issue be put to a public vote. He said he opposed the concept of the lease, but if it is considered necessary competi-, competi-, tive bids should be sought. Mr. Collins also said if the lease is accepted it should include in-clude a time schedule on proposed improvements. When he first bought his boat he could launch it with no charge in uncrowded conditions, condi-tions, Mr. Collins noted, and added he was not sure he considers con-siders the harbor "improved." Mr. Collins agreed the changes made in the proposed lease are "a step in the right direction," but wondered why the city recreation department could not hire a harbor master to manage the facility rather than leasing it. Another citizen said he approves ap-proves of free enterprise and feels it can do a better job of management, but questioned the percentage the city would receive under the terms of the lease, calling it a "give-away."

Councilman Turner said the city's goal is to provide recreation recrea-tion for all the citizens, with ball parks, swimming pools, golf, biking and horse riding trails and other activities to meet varying tastes. We don't want to cater to one segment. We want well-rounded recreational recrea-tional facilities,' he pointed out. Too much time has been demanded in managing the harbor, he said.The city would like to proceed with other projects such as boweries in the parks, use of the junior high building, the Bicentennial Park, etc. The boat harbor should be self supporting, he added. Boaters should pay for its use, and the more boaters using the facility the faster the $80,000 bond will be paid off. Private enterprise can advertise, and promote greater use of the facilities faci-lities through boat shows, classes, etc. "I think its the way to go," Councilman Turner explained. A lady in the audience agreed she did not want her taxes raised to pay off the bond. You can't exclude Salt Lake boaters from the harbor, she stated, the government woulu-i't stand still for it. The estimated 300 boats in American Fork can't support it, and it's narrow for some (Continued on back page) Durfey Re-Elected Pres. A.F. Business Dev. Corp. F.
