"' Continued on Back Page) , Will Lehi Have a Sewer? Editor's Note The following column has been started in the Free Press in the interest of community betterment, giving interested citizens of the community a chance to express their views on the construction of a sewer system for Lehi. The answer to this question is up to the people of Lehi. Let's all get behind our City Fathers and let them know we want it. If you are for it lets tell them so, if not, lets not overlook these happenings in our city. In the past few months, I have heard of a number of families buying or building homes in other communities. Why? The answer is very simple. Property values are higher, therefore loan value is higher. Few young families have the necessary cash to pay for a home,- so loans are necessary. I am acquainted with a family who have a home for sale in Lehi. A prospective buyer made application for a loan, not at our local bank. The application came back denied. Hands Off Lehi, No Sewer.- Try ' building, a young family recently built a home in our fair city. They were told to build in American Fork and $2,000.00 dollars more loan could be extended if built there. Why? Some have said, we don't want all these new families coming to Lehi. Perhaps we don't - - but we want our sons, and daug-ter- s to be able to live here. Let's not drive them to build or buy elsewhere. Another method of obsolete as many times overflowing thing, our present sewage disposal is as the old ice box and more dangerous, with cesspools and septic tanks, contaminating the ground and fouling up even the air we breath. I have been told that some are running directly into irrigation ditches, which might be running past your homes. How long will it be before we have an epidemic of some dreaded disease with this condition prevalent. Before coming to Lehi, I was employed as city manager of South Salt Lake. A city much like our own city. They had Just installed a sewer. I saw first handed the value of this city service. Hundreds of new homes have corrie into the area to say nothing of the fine new business establishments. All bringing in new tax revenue into the city treasury. Yes, Lehi can have a sewer. We'll have to pay too, but it will be worth, all it costs. Let's make Lehi the finest city of its kind. It's the finest and the best place in the world to raise a family now. Let's prepare for a future that will keep them at home. Howard W. Robinson. Baece a McKinnon, Wyoming, of pneumonia. He formerly lived on the site of the present Wilson Greenwood home.

Dr. Nelson said that two things suffer when a city fails to support the blood collection program.

A -- If It's Than Use Larger a Dog Don't Dump City Officials have voiced City strong objections to the dumping of large dead animals at the city dump. The dump, they said, is open for nothing larger than dead cats or dogs. The protest came after someone n and badly dumped a decomposed cow at the dump. The caretaker was unable to move the carcass or to bury it without getting his equipment mired in the soft sand. Residents are urged to notify an animal company when they have a large animal die.

Wines Park The committee on city property,, was instructed to investigate the cost of additional picnic tables for Wines. Park. The present tables 'f are in constant use, and city of- ficials said additional tables are h ; - - ! - needed.
