It was estimated that a peak flow of about 1200 cfs (540,000 gallons per minute) came down Big Wash and COO Beaver's Municipal Heated Swimming Pool fell prey to vandals, with a most warped sense of humor, Friday night, August 1st. Mayor Paice reports that 20 windows were broken at the pool, and sprinklers torn from and the sprinkling system thrown into the pool. "This type of action is very discouraging to the organizations responsible for building this fine recreational facility, and to the City Government who are trying to maintain and keep it open," continued the Mayor. "According to figures available, total receipts from the the an-- i pool pay less than nual operational cost of the pool When these acts of destruction occur, the feasibility of keeping the pool open becomes questionable. We wonder if expenditures of public money for this activity is in the best public nterest, in view of this willful destruction." It is regretable that acts of this kind are done by, and for the amusement of, a very, very small minority of young people. Numerous residents have called Chief Justice of the Utah Supreme Court, J. Allen Crocket who made the following remarks: "On behalf of the judiciary of our state I congratulate you on your appointment; and perhaps more important upon your possession of the fine qualities of character and reputation which brought the appointment to you. We welcome you into a judiciary which we believe, and hope we are justified in believing, has a proud tradition of service to our people. In addition to the responsibility of measuring up to that traditon, you have an added incentive of justifying the new method of judicial selection by which you were chosen, which responsibility we feel sure you will acquit yourself well. "You are a man well qualified by training, education and experience both in the law and in life and I do not presume to give you very much advice. But in welcoming you to the judiciary of our State may I offer two admonitions which I think would be well for all. judges to frequently remind themselves: First, be diligent in your work and expeditious in the performance of your dutes. It has been written of old that 'justice delayed is often justice denied. Second, be restrained and forbearing in the use ' of the judicial power. It is indeed an awesome power which at times can vitally affect the lives and fortunes of our people. We are indebted to the great and wise lawyer Lincoln for this: There is no better way to Judge a man than by what he does when he possesses power." . cfs (0'00 gallons per minute) came down the Twin Hills Drainage.
