He received early schooling at Nephi and later obtained degrees in music from Brigham Young University and Utah State Colee and the Newg En gland Conservatory of Music in Agnc-ulaur- Boston.

On Monday shortly after noon the final electrical connections were made and Mayor R. E, Winn pushed the switch which started the City pumps on the well behind the Equipment building. This well was delivering between 4 Mi and five second feet Monday afternoon, and an adjustment will increase the flow to nearly six. On Wednesday, the Irrigation Company's well near third west was to have been turned on, and this also was expected to develop, as it did during tests, of six second feet of water. Water master Gerald Cazier has been busy making adjustments on the diversion weirs at the mouth of the canyon, to equalize the stream flow to the city ditches, and to the mains not directly affected ry tne pumping. The chanee in the diversion weirs gives an equitable distribution of water to all shareholders, just as if the wells were in the canyon and pumping into the entire stream at that point. 'This is the most forward step taken in 75 years" was the remark made by one stockholder as he witnessed the huge stream pouring out. Irrigators in the field noticed the increased stream Saturday afternoon before they were aware that pumping had started, it was reported by company officials. The City well is being tied into the culinary waterworks system, and valves are so arranged that in the event an emergency occurs in the canyon, or if demands become so great, that one valve can be opened to send the entire flow of the well into the culinary system. This one factor is a great insurance for the community in time of emergency. Another well, equally as pond as either of those being has been drilled, but is notpumped as yet equipped with a pump. Surviving are his widow, the former Josephine Davis, of Salt Lake City; four sons, Wayne, William, Clarence K. and unant Mrs. E.
