Jay-cee- s, life-lon- g Hundreds of mink and fox carcasses were illegally dumped near Lehi. Police asked area ranchers how they dispose of the carcasses, which did not yield any information. No suspects are available in the case. Two youth discovered a box containing audio equipment, a radar detector, tools, and devices, which was buried in a vacant area. The investigating officer booked the evidence, and although police have a possible suspect, the case is still under investigation. A Lehi man was booked into the Utah County jail for domestic violence, interfering with arrest and disorderly conduct. Officers discovered that the man had destroyed items in the home, and had ransacked several rooms. An American Fork officer who was assisting, was required to use mace in the attempt to subdue the man. When that failed, the officers had to wrestle the man to the floor. Officers later found out that the man had not taken his prescribed medication for two theft-relate- d Police E3G3fi charged with having no driver's license, no insurance, no registration, and improper or stolen license plates.

Inspection Fee Adjustments Considered Councilmember Reed Sunderland told the council that, due to the inspectors being called out to do some inspections on Saturdays, that some guidelines and fees should be established. He suggested that developers ought to give 24 hours notice for inspections during off hours, and that they pay a $60 fee ($30 per hour with a minimum), half of which would go to the city, the other half going to the inspector in lieu of overtime. ur 50-fo- ot ;1 blooded Americans everywhere, were making sacrifices for the Allied war effort, the town also benefitted from the conflict.

Duringthe two years after Wines finally deeded the property to the, city more than $1,000 dollars worth of improvements were made, many of them by Mayor Gurney and his sons. Betterments included leveling the ground, installing water lines, seeding, graveling walkways, planting nearly five hundred trees and shrubs, and erecting a bandstand where memorable concerts were given on hot summer evenings. Retrospectively, the years of Mayor Gurney's two terms seem to represent the twilight of American innocence. The simple delights of ice cream parties, lemonade afternoons, and hayride excursions to Saratoga were forever changed by America's entry into the war. Aside from the continuous flying of a flag atop the Liberty Pole, and heated discussions over America's neutrality, few evidences of war could be seen in Lehi. But this quickly changed when the first military recruiter, Captain Wesley King, came to Lehi on June ,..,;swr iJg I days. Two routine traffic stops led to additional arrest when both a Lehi man and a Salt Lake man were Road Improvement Funding Sought The following purchase orders were unanimously approved by the council: $22,470 to Western States Electric for improvements in the 200 South line and 450 East State.
