Church and Delta Del-ta City Council members have called a meeting for Monday night for the purpose of open discussion dis-cussion on the proposed post office of-fice site and other questions that may arise. Scheduled for 8:30 p.m. at the high school aud'torium, the meeting meet-ing will follow the regular council meeting in the City Building at 7:30 p.m. City Councilman Lionel Taylor, Report Removes Dark Spots from Water Picture A report prepared by Gregory L. Pearson, Snow Survey Supervisor and Garry Dinsdale, Ass't Snow Survey Supervisor, of the Soil Conservation Con-servation Service located at 222 S. W. Temple, Salt Lake City, states that last month's dark spots on the water picture can now look for adequate ad-equate supplies this summer. The storms of February improved the outlook for next summer's water wa-ter supply for all sections of Utah. In fact, it improved so 'much on some watersheds that now problems prob-lems may develop from high water damage during the spring snow-melt snow-melt period. Sevier River near Gunnison is expected ex-pected to have about 15 less than the average April-Sept, flow coming from sources above its junction with the San Pitch River. However, since Gunnison reservoir, near Gunnison, Utah, is already full and since the tributary streams of the San Pitch are expected to yield so much (135 to 160), a heavy contribution to the overall water supply will come from this source. Gunnison reservoir is being be-ing drawn down now to provide a cushioning effect on the spring runoff. Most years no water is contributed contribu-ted from the San Pitch river for the use of water users below Sevier Sev-ier Bridge. In addition to this extra water this year, heavy runoff (a-bout (a-bout 140-150) should come from streams of the San Pitch mountains east of Levari, such as Chicken Creek. This will further add to water wa-ter available to water users below Vermillion Dam. The forecasts assume that average aver-age weather conditions will prevail for the balance of the season.

An issue in Delta this week, much discussed, has been the City Council's proposal to use the present rose garden site for the purpose of building a new post office building. City residents, up and down the streets, have been discussing dis-cussing the merits and demerits of the proposal. Rose garden enthusiasts are circulating a petition a-gainst a-gainst the proposal. City council members, who voted un-animously un-animously in favor of the site, have been compiling statist' ics on the cost of the upkeep of the garden to the city thru the years. Comments have been expressed that government (in this case, city) is interfering with private enterprise in building a building for rental purposes. No one has taken advantage of the city counciFs offer to remove rose bushes from the site. Not many residents realize that approximately approximate-ly four percent of Delta's taxes go toward the upkeep of the garden. Complaints have been lodged against the locked gate and high hedge, thus preventing many from the pleasures plea-sures derived from a rose garden. Overlooked by many in the discussions is the fact that between the years of 1951 and 1961 over $13 $00.00 has been spent on the whole city park with over half going towards the upkeep of the rose garden itself. And now politics has entered into many discussions. dis-cussions. THE ISSUE CONTINUES A public meeting is being called for Monday night, at 8:30 p.m. at the high school auditorium to air the differences differenc-es of opinion and come to a conclusion. WE, THE EDITORS, URGE ALL INTERESTED DELTA RESIDENTS TO ATTEND THIS MEETING. Interest in public affairs on all levels of government is part of our heritage. IT IS A VITAL PART OF OUR AMERICAN AMER-ICAN WAY OF LIFE. The local level is the place to be-gin. be-gin.

' Bennett Urges Speedup In Sevier Division of Upper Colorado Project Sen. Wallace F. Bennett (R-Ut) this week urged a speed-up In the Sevier Division of the Central Utah Project. Sen. Bennett said that $3303,000 could be made available to step up work on the Central Utah Project without any increase in the President's Presi-dent's Budget. He pointed out that funds are already in the budget for Upper Colorado transmission lines, which the Federal Government has since decided not to build. Sen. Bennett said, "Since most of the savings to the government will come from within Utah, it seems proper that some of this money should be used to speed up work on phases of the Upper Colorado Colo-rado River Project within Utah." Sen. Bennett noted that under present plans the Bureau of Reclamation Rec-lamation will not complete its study stu-dy of the necessary project works The pictures below, taken by Mr. Swensen, tell the story of the condition con-dition of the building better than words.

"The initial phase of the Central Utah Project calls for water to be delivered to the Millard, Juab and Sanpete County areas," he said. "The future of these counties is dependent upon the project water. The earlier the water can be delivered, de-livered, the more sure that future. Few areas of the State suffered more than these three counties during dur-ing the three-year drought."
