A bid opening dale for the new Cottonwood Heights Elementary Schoo also was set for May 21 at 7 p.m. Scott and Beecher, archi-tects, presented final plans at the regular Thursday meeting. Ceneral contracts for both pools were awarded to G. Maurice Rom-ne- y Construction Co. for the West Jordan and Mt. Jordan junior highs. Low bid on the Mt.

Work will begin imme-diately as soon as investigations in- - dicate bids are free of errors. The board expressed disappoint' ment at the outcome of a recent vote of teachers which showed 235 were opposed to the merit study compared to 206 iu favor. After four years participation in the program, the board felt it would be difficult to carry on an objec-tive study with the majority of the teachers opposed to the issue.

AGREEMENT ON CANYON ROAD NOW REACHED Plans for construction of the Butterfield Canyon upper road link with Middle Canyon in Tooele County through the Oquirrh Moun-tains were agreed upon last Friday. The agretment was reached be-tween officials of the Salt Lake County Commission, Tooele County Commission, the State Park and Recreation Commission and the Utah National Guard. A schedule was set up calling for early summer construction of three miles of roadway extending east- - ward from Butterfield Pass in the Oquirrh Mountains directly down the mountains to the main canyon. Completion of the road will link the Tooele side of Middle Canyon Road to the lower Butterfield Road into Lark and Herriman in south-west Salt Lake o'inty. Commissioner Lamont B. Gund-erse- Salt Lake County Commis-sion chairman, said that an excel-lent conotruction program was de-cided upon between the county and the Utah. Guard combat engineers through Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, (Utah adjutant general. Francis Oswald, State Park Com-mission landscape architect, point-ed out that Wasatch Front residents of Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis coun-ties from the east, and Tooele County the west, would be able to travel the mountain loop later in the seascn. Project plans indicate a 1 long road link between Tooele and Salt Lake County communities. Giving access to the proposed state park in Middle Canyon, now under preliminary organization, is also part of the purpose of the road. Present distance between these points is mere than 40 miles by existing highways circling the north half of the Oquirrh range. Gen. Rich told the group that the project would provide excellent training for his units within close proximity of Camp W. G. Williams locr.ted at the east foot of the moun-tains.

SWAMP BUGGY PUT TO WORK BYKENNECOTT A wheelless swamp buggy has gone to work ahead of schedule on the huge tailings pond of the Utah Copper Division Arthur and Magna Mills. Unloaded from a railroad flat car late last week, the unique vehicle made trial runs over the surface of the tailings pond the same day, said P. H. Ensign, mills superintendent, and then went to work. Although not expected to engage in actual dust abatement work until around May I, Mr. Ensign said the swamp buggy has already been used to plow dry areas of the pond, open lateral irrigation furrow and carry men and equipment to difficult to reach areas for maintaining the inter-connect- rotating spray sys-tem. "The vehicle has performed very satisfactorily so far, and we have high hopes that it will prove an effective tool in solving the prob-lem of dust during high wind storms," said Mr. Ensign, Later, the swamp buggy may be equipped with tanks and used to spray crusting agents over dry areas not lending themselves to irrigation with wet tailings. Var-ious known crusting agents are now being tested. When a satisfac-tory agent is found, this phase of the work will get Underway. Although the frame and cab are similar to a conventional truck, the swamp buggy travels on six large, sausage shaped pneumatic bags. The bags float the vehicle, even with heavy loads, over normally impassable land. Modifications to meet the pecu-liar needs of dust abatement work include a three-poin- t suspension hitch, standard hitch and front and rear power winches. "Purchase of the buggy is part of the Utah Copper Division's con-tinuing effort to solve the dust problems at the tailings pond," said Mr. Ensign. The Division has spent several hundred thousand dollars on dust abatement work in recent years This unique swamp buggy is presently engaged in dust abate-ment work on the Utah Copper Division's tailings pond near Mag-na. It is being used to plow dry areas, open lateral irrigation ditches and transport man and equipment. t UNIVERSITY OF UTAH TO HAVE TRYOUTS FOR DRUM MAJOR-MAJORETTE- S Want to lead a band?
