Dance Students To Present Spring Recital The City Council voted Monday to advertise for bids on the new westside city drain, which will be constructed this summer in the vicinity of Third West Street Bids are to be opened May 1 at a special meeting of the Council in the Memorial Building. According to present plans, the drainage line will begin at the top of Zimmerman's Lane on the south border of the new Lehi elementary school grounds, and will proceed south to Sixth North, then east to First West Street. From there, the pipeline will proceed south for one block to Fifth North, then west two blocks to Third West. The line will then continue along the east side of Third West street down to Third South, then east to Center Street. At that point it will join with the present drain from the schools, Memorial buildings and some business houses which enters an open ditch there. The lines will be Joined together and put underground, continuing on south to the D&RGW railroad tracks, then east to Third East, where the line will join the east-sid- e drainage system completed last year. The water will then flow through the present line un- der the railroad tracks, then into an open ditch. Lynn R. Webb, representative of the City Council's committee on the new drain, said that the city has sought to avoid the expense of running a new line under the railroad tracks by joining with the eastside drain. The cost of running the pipeline from the west side over to Third East was considerably less than the cost of putting a new pipe under the tracks. Mr. Webb said that the engineers selected this course because they felt it would pick up the most water at the least expense. Original plans called for running the line diagonally through private property along the upper part of the system, but the city was unable to get permission from property owners who felt the drain would interfere with cesspools and septic tanks there. New Hospital Committee The City Council appointed a n committee to work preliminary plans and fund raising proposals for the new city hospital. Representing the City Council on the committee will be John Broadbent, chairman of the council hospital committee. Other committee members are George T. Strasburg, First Ward; John W.
