(Continued page) information obtained from the problems and details which might be faced by this city in its sewer planning. Pointing to need for a sewer, Mr. Wootton said Lehi has had serious problems for a long time. Underground water is close to the surface, and there is a bad clay condition. With no sewer system to serve the city, fliuds are drained into the ground. As a population becomes greater, these fluids keep coming to the surface more and more. It is diffi cult to realize how much water is placed into the ground by an ordinary family, he declared.condLehi has plenty of bad itions as a result of trapped water which comes to the surface, he declared, pointing out that contrary to popular belief, water is not purified by traveling underground. In fact, the temperature is often about right to promote bacterial growth. He cited the in Salt case of several had culinary Lake County who wells the same depth as adjacent cesspools. When dyes were poured into the cesspools, they showed up soon afterward in the well water. "It is fortunate that we have not had serious outbreaks of typhoid or other serious diseases," well-owne- rs he said. Financing a Sewer There are several methods of financing a sewer.

Continuing the legal references: "the power to manage and exer cise police jurisdiction over cemeteries is delegated to cities" and "cities are granted power to convey real property not needed for corporate purposes." Mr. Callister's letter was forwarded to Lehi D. U. P. officers by Mrs. Carter. D. U. P. representatives report that cemetery lot deeds to plots in the old pioneer burial land are still in the possession of several local families. They said that State D. U. P. groups will un doubtedly lead a move at the next State Legislative Session to have laws passed to protect the in terests of cemetery lot owners and prevent cities from selling ceme teries when there are still bodies interred there. If Lehi City was within its legal rights in selling the old Pioneer Cemetery, what is to prevent this City Council or some future City Council from selling the present cemetery for industrial or business uses? they asked. They declared that if people buy ceme' tery lots and are issued deeds for the lots, the city should have no right to sell the land without the consent of lot owners or their heirs. ot non-payme- nt Alpine School District Concludes "Art Haven" New Session of Annual Work Shop G.
