This advance over the current rate of $2.00 will take effect on September 1. With Mayor Harold D. West-rin- g in charge, the council members present included Howard W. Robinson, Morris Clark, J. B. Cooper and Ralph Wing. Councilman Grant B. Smith and Ned F. Wilson were excused. During the discussion of the increase in culinary water rates, it was pointed out that the present ordinances require that 150 per cent profit be made in order to cover payment of bonds and in- terest. The council felt that an increase is necessary in order to comply with the bond ordinance and to help defray the cost of the revamping recently effected in the water collection system in the, Alpine area. The repairs in the area are extensive and have brought the system into such condition as to comset ply with the requirements down by the board of health. The current city residential rate of $2.00 per month will be increased to $3.00, and the rate for county residents on the city water system will be $6.00. The 45,000 gallon rate for six months remains unchanged. The 20 cents per 1000 gallons over the city res idents allotment and 40 cents per 1000 gallons over the minimum for county residents remains This increase is the first made since 1958, when the rate of $1.50 was raised to $2.00. Improvement District Frank W. Jones, city engineer, was present with outlines for a district. proposed improvement The improvements would include curb, gutter and sidewalk. The council discussed the problem of drainage, elevations and property lines. It was agreed by the council to accept the proposed district and to publish the notice of intention as soon as possible. Date for the hearings will be set as soon as the notice is published. Millen Kirkham met with the council to request that his property be rezoned to a business area, to allow a small business at that location. He indicated that he has a sale for his property if the buyer could use it for business. At present the area is zoned residential, but not restricted residential. The council will investigate the matter further be fore taking any action.

Leany, Lehi precinct Eldon R. Jacklin Killed In Explosion Eldon Reed Jacklin, 21, hus band of the former Linda Smith of this city, was killed by an ex' plosion at the Hercules Powder Company's plant in Bacchus, last Thursday morning, Aug. 23. Mr. Jacklin, who had been em ployed at the Hercules plant for two months, was one of three killed in the explosion. Three men working nearby were injured. Missile experts from the Her cules firm's Wilmington, Del., office arrived in Salt Lake City Thursday evening and worked at the site of the explosion through the night with the aid of spotlights. Lengthy Study C T. Butler, director of Hercules' chemical propulsion division and head of the investigation team said Friday it appeared it would be "quite some time" before any determination of the cause of the blast could be made. Working with the investigators Friday was a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent from Washington, sent to make a routine check of possible sabotage. "We do not suspect sabotage, but this is routine in any investigation of this kind," explained R. G. Sailer, assistant works manager at the Bacchus Works. Disintegrates Building The blast occurred at approximately 7:03 a.m. Thursday. It disintegrated the "curing" building whore the victims were working and flattened a small storage shed nearby. A "mushroom-shaped- " cloud billowed high into the air and was visible on Salt Lake Valley's east bench. Shock waves rattled windows as far away as East Mill Creek. Bodies of the victims were not intact when found and identification came only after an exam- j. (Contlnued on Bark Page) as Lehi, Mr. Leany stressed the point that Primary elections are the vital means of selecting the candi dates which really represent the people and are the best means of expressing individual choices "I have made a challenge with American Fork that Lehi will have a larger attendance at the meeting than they will," Mr. Lea-,'ny said. "And I want tp urge the people of Lehi to back me up in this challenge." To Clarify Points Scheduled to attend the meet ing are Sherman P. Lloyd and Reed A. Benson, who are running for U. S. Congress; C. N. Wentz and Ed Long, who are running for county, assessor, as well as R. Ward Webb and A.

The blame for existing conditions is difficult to pinpoint. The problem is not necessarily local or a affair, but is statewide in nature," Mr. Hunt said. "Teacher turnover is the real issue. Teacher turnover in the nation is 18.5 per cent. Alpine district turnover during the past year has been in excess of the state average," Mr. Hunt pointed out. "These statistics point out that schools of the Alpine District the starts. and of Utah are being used as training institutions.
