The hearing, conducted before Commissioner Budge of the Public Service Commission of Utah, was arranged to take place in the Memorial Building. However, due to the large number of Lehi residents present to protest the removal, the group adjourned to the Junior High School auditorium. No Lack of Revenue It was explained by A. U.

Number the railroad com- that the discontinuing of station facilities and the agent here is not due to lack of revenue for the company. This revenue was reported by other witnesses as greatly increased over the period since 1956. It was explained that the main body of the business in Lehi is of such a type that it can be handled by an agent in another community, with the specifications indica ted that this would be done by the agent in American Fork. Under questioning conducted by Harvard R. Hinton, attorney for Lehi City and Lehi concerns, it was stated that not nearly the amount of business is done through the American Fork sta tion as is conducted m Lehi. Cutler Cutler, actually located within the Lehi City limits, was considered independently and not jn connection with the Lehi station and the Lehi Agent, although the Lehi agent keeps the books on Cutler and handles the revenue from this source. The shipping business from the Lehi General Refractories plant is handled at Cutler and through the Lehi agent at the present time. Shipments to and from Lehi are largely of a car lot nature it was stressed, The Utah-Idah- o Sugar Company and General Refractories plant were named as the largest shippers. 'It was explained that the company proposes to discard the present station as an antiquated structure and to build a smaller structure, which would be kept locked. The key would be left with some reliable party, to be obtained by the freight consignee when it became necessary to pick up a shipment here. Delivery service is provided by the company for L. C. L. (less carload lots) but this does not include household goods or oersonal belongings it was pointed out. The delivery contract is held at the plresent time by a Provo resident. Deliveries are made on the basis of handling several at a trip, rather than on an individual consignee basis. Weigh bills and invoices for consignments could be signed and left in a weigh bill box, provided by the railroad co- NEW YWMIA PRESIDENCY Gladys Bake was sustained as president of the First Ward YWMIA, Sunday evening.

R. Limbeck of Omaha, Nebraska, junior accountant; Nephi H. Elsemore of Salt Lake City, traffic agent, and N. D. Nelson, trainn aster. Exhibits were distributed among those in attendance and were explained to indicate the quantity, class and revenue obtained from 'shipments into and out of Lehi from 1956 to 1960 and the first three months of 1961. When asked is objections from business operators and community citizens were considered as determining factors regarding station removal, it was stated that in every case where this has been done, objections have been en countered. Union Chairman Present to Object Present from Riverside, Calif., was Albert S. Herrera, general chairman of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers. He voiced objections on the grounds that business in the Lehi area was sufficient to keep an agent operating, and also on the grounds that the agent would be thrown out of employ ment. If he were able to obtain another position on a basis of sen iority, this would in turn force someone else out of employment, it was pointed out. District Union Official Stewart also voiced repeated objections, pointing out the necessity for a station and an agent here, stressing the value to both community and railroad company concerned. Mr. Herrera had prepared an exhibit, but due to the fact that he is not an attorney, it was not read or explained before the meeting. However, it was stated that it would be considered by the com fee provement 'of the community are working to stimulate and increase this growth and expansion. The location of a Union Pacific station and agent here has always been considered as a vital factor in the establishment of such industries as the brick plants, and in itself, is a valuable asset to the locality. Not only is it an advantageous service to have an agent located here, but the agent and his family become an integral part of the community, adding both tangible and intangible benefits it was stated. The record of the late Roy L. Ferman was recalled from this viewpoint. Mr. Ferman was an active member and officer in the Lions Club, holding the po sition of president of that group. He was also president of the Lehi Garden Club and was untiring in community effort. Mr. McDemott, local agent, although here only a short time, is also lending his aid to the upbuilding of worthwhile local projects, it was stressed. Business Houses Close for Hearing Business operations were halted from 10 to 11 a.m., Monday, to alllow proprietors and their em ployees to attend the hearing.
