Show Universal MlcrufiL- - Corp, Sox 2b08 Salt like City Utah (ft 10 Spotlighting Lehi Street Department This week we would like to call your attention to the street department. This department has the responsibility of maintaining the city streets, and the surface drainage belonging to the city. Their personnel consists of a superintendent, and three equipment operators, with various degrees of operating skills. It is an important responsibility placed on the street department. It seems that the condition of the streets is the first thing that cause people to file complaints or compliments, whichever they choose to do. During the past few years the street department has followed a program of repair and preventative maintenance that is beginning to pay off in better and cleaner streets for the people of Lehi. This program consists of extensive patching and rebuilding where necessary, seal coating with a slag and oil seal, and trying to solve our surface drainage problems with the installation of new culverts where necessary, and the construction or curb and gutter to carry the water to a point where it can be taken care of. The street department operates under three financing programs. The collector road program, where the streets are designated that the money can be spent on. The B and C road fund financing where the roads are not designated, but where the money can only be spent for certain operations, and the general fund, which takes care of the rest of the operations. The collective funds are divided from a one cent a gallon state gasoline tax, the B&C funds come from the registration fee of vehicles using the highways. The General Fund comes from the local taxes. The department is in the process of building a new road north of the freeway from 300 West to 100 East, at a cost of a little less than one hundred thousand dollars. This will take about four years to construct, because of being financed from Collector Road funds. However we do hope to have traffic going over it by next summer. This project has involved obtaining right of way, building fences, and new power lines, as well as a bridge over the creek, two syphones and an irrigation structive. This is more or less a cooperative effort of the street and power departments, with other departments furnishing men when needed.

Participating in the ceremonies were, I. to r., Training School Superintendent Paul Sagers; Evan Jones, Director of Family Services; Gov. Calvin L. Rampton; Poster girl, Tamera Ballow; Paul S. Rose, Director of Social Services; Elaine Sharp, exec, director of MRAU. Governor Rampton compared the present status of care for the retarded to the 1955 situation of mental health care in Utah. At that time, he noted, a total of 1,500 Utahns were receiving mental health care, all of them at the state hospital. Today, some 20,000 are receiving care in the mental health field, but only about 300 are now cared for at state hospital. He approved the establishment of group homes for the retarded, commenting that the Training School had pioneered this program in Utah. The school currently operates 11 group homes in Utah County, one in Lehi, three in American Fork, four in Orem and three on the school campus. Speaking for MRAU Mrs. Sharp said, "We feel this transfer of land marks a significant milestone in our efforts to provide family-lik- e housing for Utah's retarded citizens. Adequate housing for the retarded, both at the Training School and in the community, has been identified as the top priority of our association. "We, as an association, are pleased that we can work together with the state of Utah in producing better living conditions for all of Utah's retarded." S,;: termed the transfer as a new alternative in providing residential facilities for the mentally retarded. Transfer of the land came under SB 169, a measure sponsored by all of the four Utah County senators, Karl N.
