Efforts are being made to get Monte Young's big show, and until then the dates of the local celebration can not be set.

Although the m.a terials are on hand, and all details have been worked out for the project, it is understood that the defennent ot the project was caused by a squabble over the contract for electric current. Murray city wa~ted to furnish the current. while tbe Utah Power & Light company had been selected for' the contract. In order to a void controversy, the county commissioners have decided to table the project for the duration. It is believed locally, however, that enough pressure can be brought to bear from the south end of the county to change the decision of the commission and have the project started at once. The public affairs committee ot the Midvale Kiwanis club is now taking steps to that end, and will enlist the aid of other civic and service groups of south Salt Lake county.
