A public hearing on the petition is scheduled for Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. in the County Commission Chambers. A period of protest will follow the hearing. The petition was presented by Mike George, representing the Home interests near Saratoga and asked for a special service district for Saratoga Springs Resort and Community. Property owners of 60 percent of the land involved favor the special service district, George said. The district could tax for creation of a water system and other municipal services. Commissioner Malcolm Beck said this isn't his preferred way to establish a city. Salt Lake County followed this method, he said, and now all has 95 special, service districts, "'" r "V imposing taxes. Beck said there are 147 property owners in the area involved. "I want to make sure they all understand what they would be getting into and what it would cost them," he said. Beck said commissioners don't want people to say they hadn't been told about the proposed district. Commissioners asked that letters be sent to each of the property owners. The proposed taxing district would go from the intersection of state highways 73 and 63 (about three miles westof Lehi) south along the lakeshore to Pelican Point. Revenue from the new taxing district would fund a water system that would allow for residential growth in the unincorporated area. The proposed Saratoga Springs master plan community would include 600 homes, a small number of condominiums and an golf course. 18-ho- le newly-refurbish- drawing will be held Saturday Gift-O-Ram- a The Lehi Chamber of Commerce will hold their annual drawing on Saturday, Dec. 18 at 10 e Room of a.m. in the the Lehi Public Library, 120 N.

Accordingly in 1871 both a new Lehi City Hall and an amusement center were built. The Lehi Music Hall, a 30- - by adobe building at approximately 545 N. Center, was funded by Lehiminingmagnate John Beck and constructed by the Lehi Brass Band. Twenty one feet of the west end of the $2,500 building, which extended out over the creek bank'' on pilings, was used for a stage. Aside from theatrical productions the Music Hall served a wide variety of social functions. It was a popular dance hall. According to James Kirkham's Dec. 25, 1872 diary the first 'Grand Ball" was held there that evening. Participants in those early dances remember parents bundling up their small children in quilts and laying them in rows to sleep on the stage floor as the older generation danced throughout much of the night. Lehi fire-damag- 62-fo- ot Yesteryears By the early 1880s the Music Hall was being managed jointly by the YoungMen and Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association (YMMLVYWMIA). In addition to s dances the group organized - literary societies - for weekly "or semimonthly debates, lectures, and song fests. These debates presented speakers who often argued volatile issues and were a favorite form of entertainment. This was partly because the debaters tended to present their cases in dramatically bombastic style. One such event was the 1881 forensic clash featuring Lehi Elders Samuel R. Thurman and David Evans, Jr. (both to became prominent attorneys). Two Reorganized Latter Day Saint missionaries provided fierce opposition. lyce-um- -- The overflowing audience listened attentively as the men debated the issue: "Resolved: That Joseph Smith, III, is necessarily the proper president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints." The consensus of opinion, no doubt swayed by religious bias and favoritism, was that the Lehi men were victorious. During the fall of 1883 the Lehi Fair was staged in the Music Hall, with the livestock display on the nearby Ira Wines property (now Wines Park). "The success of our last year's fair," proclaimed Lehi Ward Bishop Thomas R. Cutler, "and the prospects for the present, justify us in considering our fair as a permanent yearly institution, bringing together as it does the product of the field, the garden, the workshop, the mines and the home, showing us our progress and giving us an idea of what may yet be accomplished. It is especially gratifying to us to know that what is exhibited is our own: the fruits of 1 thv-v- y See YESTERYEARS on Page 3 ft f V " l f - i K. 1 S'rt . ai 't vi.: ,tT. w is -- i J' V j '4.T it? mMr; Wt' - tit M- : " .. - I ( V '" & Livestock shows were a big feature of early Lehi fairs.
