To be known as the Beaver Dairy, the purpose of the association is to produce Grade A milk. The modern milking barn, planned to accommodate between 300 an 350 cows, will be located in the northwest part of town in the lane that runs west from the Leroy Harris home. The proposed cost of the barn and the plan has not been determined at this time, pending a report of a committee named to visit dairy installations in the northern part of the state. Members of this committee, who will leave Thursday on their trip are: Edwin Smith, Hyrum Steffen, Seldon fact-findi- Nowers, Wallace Murdock, Morrell J. Warr and J. Albert Muir. A temporary board of directors has been appointed to perfect the organization and issue the stock. Members of the board are: John White, Leroy W. Harris. Albert T. Smith, M. J. Warr and Sam G. Hickman. It is planned to incorporate the association for $12,000 with 600 shares at $20 par value. A sharing corporation, the expenses will be borne by the members on a per share basis. One share will be sold for each cow intended to be milked in the barn. Approximately 250 shares have been pledged at the present time. Between 20 and 30 dairymen have attended the organization meetings and have signified a desire to participate in the endeavor. The purpose of the association is to produce Grade A milk at a minimum of expense to each individual. The cooperative dairy at Minersville built with the same objective and put into operation last summer is proving very successful. Construction work will begin in the near future as soon as plans and specifications are approved by the group. It is hoped to have the plant in operation by summer. non-prof- it Robert Christiansen Wins Union Pacific Award Robert Christiansen, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

Race Track Beaver's Streets Improvements Get Underway Receive 3,000 With the awarding of the contract for the moving of the grandstand from the city square to the race track, plans for extended improvements at the racing plant got underway this week. Foch Parkinson was the successful bidder on It is moving of the grandstand. expected that this job w ill he completed in the next few weeks. After the grandstand is moved it will be placed on a cement foun- dation and painted. All the buildings and stables will he given a coat of paint before the race meet next July. William T. Cartwrlght is chairman of this paint committee. Twenty new stables will be constructed to house the expected influx of race horses. The 60 stables were woefully inadequate last year and so the new stables will fill a definite need. Other improvements planned include the improvement of the track proper. A civil engineer has been engaged to make a survey and make a drawing in order that the track may be brought up to standard. The installation of permanent sanitary facilities and the acquisition of a parking area south of the highway are other improve ments planned by various com mittees of the Chamber of Com merce and the Lions Club. 30-da- Iw, 50 58 54 48 63 73 03 19 23 35 .08 .00 .00 20 21 27 41 .00 .00 .00 .07 $500 For Yards of Gravel The past two weeks has seen 000 yards of gravel spread on the streets of Beaver City through cooperation of Beaver County officials. Storms retarded the work, when four days were lost. Beaver's streets were badly in need of this surfacing and more is needed to bring them "out bf the mud." Assurance has been given by the City Council that another project will be undertaken this fall. The 3000 yards was spread on streets and crossings throughout the city and will be a big benefit when wet weather sets in. In selecting the streets to re ceive gravel this spring attention was given to those traveled most land to particularly bad corners. The county has acquired a dirt and gravel loader which greatly facilitates and speeds up any projects of this nature. The gravel Is placed in stockpile with a bulldozer and loaded into the trucks with this loading equipment. Local dump trucks were hired at a reasonable price and by the use of the county equipment the gravel was placed on the streets at a very low cost to the city taxpayers. A few more similar projects will place the streets within the city in passable condition for all the year. 3 II. BAY HI TCHIXGS RECEIVES DEGREE AT BOSTON U. Chester L.
