Although the girls have supported the use of the convertible, Revill suggested that the city needs a float in order to participate in the Days of '47 and Freedom Festival parades. Councilmember Carma Johnson made a motion to declare the convertible as surplus, to sell it, and to use the proceeds towards the estimated $7,000 cost of a professionally made float. Councilmember Knollin Haws gave a second to the motion, which passed unanimously. -- R.N. The class meets each Wednesday for five weeks with a new class getting underway on April 27.

Western had three subsidiaries: Mountain Fuel Supply Company (production), Uinta Pipeline Company (transmission), and Wasatch Gas Company (transmission and distribution). In 1930 Wasatch Gas Company was granted a franchise in Lehi to replace Utah Valley Gas and Coke Company. This latter organization had earlier been given a franchise during the administration of Mayor Joseph S. Broadbent but had defaulted. Disaster far beyond the control of Mayor Gilchrist or anyone else befell Lehi in the fall of 1929 as the shadow ofthe Great Depression fell across the world. The troubled times began in October 1929, when stock values plunged dramatically. Thousands of investors lost vast sums of money. Banks, factories, and stores closed, leaving millions of Americans penniless and jobless. Until 1942 the country and most of the world remained in the worst and longest period of high unemployment and low business productivity in modern times. On October 16, 1930 Frank Gaisford, publisher of the Lehi Sun announced that it had become necessary to move the firm's presses and linotype machine to the "center of the . . . north end of Utah county American Fork." Recognizing the fierce competitive spirit between Lehi and American Fork, Gaisford tried to lessen the impact of this decision by reassuring his Lehi subscribers that theSun's "readers will receive a strictly Lehi paper each Thursday morning." Prominent Lehi citizens, irked that their hometown paper was being published "in A.F.," sought to bring another newspaper to town. Mayor Gilchrist, his good friend S.I. Goodwin, and Stan Goodwin drove to northern Utah in 1930, to examine the possibility of purchasing a newspaper facility and moving it to Lehi. En route home, while traveling between Garland and Brigham City, the driver attempted to pass a load of hay and skidded the car into a ditch. While the Goodwins were uninjured, Mayor Gilchrist struck his head during the accident. He was taken to the Brigham City hospital where the wound was stitched up, and the three men returned to er Lehi. Unfortunately, Mayor Gilchrist had also suffered internal injuries. When local treatment failed to rectify the problem he was rushed to Salt Lake City for surgery, but died shortly thereafter, on Jan. 23, 1931. His funeral services, held in the Lehi Tabernacle on Jan. 27, were oneofthe largest memorial services in the town's history. Citizens, business associates and friends from every part of the state packed the building. Lehi city officials and the Lehi Lions Club attended in a body. Members of the city council served as his pall bearers. Mayor Gilchrist was thefirst Lehi mayor to die in office. To honor him, the Lehi City Council, in a pioneer practice seldom seen anymore, prepared a "Preambles and Resolutions of Respect." The memoria, read at the funeral by Hugh Otterson, was later framed and delivered to his 1994 - Page 4 Juveniles arrested for vandalism, burglary Officers were dispatched to a traffic accident at 100 E.

The driver also returned to the scene within a short time, claiming he had run away because he was in shock; the investigating officers detected an odor of alcohol on the man. Not requiring serious medical attention, the passenger in the truck, as well as the occupants of the van, left after filling out statements. The driver of the van left before officers could return the driver's license and issue a citation for failure to yield. The driver ofthe truck, however, was transported to American Fork Hospital, where he also submitted to a blood alcohol test. A license check revealed that it had been revoked for alcohol; the county attorney requested that charges of driving under the influence, driving on alcohol revocation, and leaving the scene ofan accident be brought against the driver. Three local juveniles were remanded to Juvenile Court in connection with a burglaryvandalism incident. Officers responding to the call found the three still in the area; n. perpetrators leave the scene, and provided a description of the vehicle. A similar description was given for a vehicle involved in another vehicular burglary attempt. Two burglary attempts at Lehi schools resulted in the loss ofaudio equipmentandmoneytotalling$190 at one school, and $45 from the other school. No suspects are available in either case, but officers were able to obtain footprints at one of the crime scenes. A Murray man was booked into the Utah County jail for DUI, pos- one had empty cans of spray paint in his backpack. Another of the offenders had burglary-relate- d tools in his pocket and admitted to stealing a radar detector and numerous hood ornaments and decorations. That youth was charged with two counts of vandalism, burglary, possession of burglary tools, theft and criminal session of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug para- phernalia, and speeding, the latter of which was the cause of the traffic stop. One juvenile passenger was sent to juvenile detention for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drugparapherna-li- a and possession of tobacco. Referrals to juvenile court were levied on two other juvenile passengers, one of whom was cited for possession of tobacco, the other for illegal consumption of alcohol. A local business reported the theft of $400 from the establishment. The outside doors were reported to have been locked; one drawer inside the building was forced open, causing about $150 in damages. No suspects are available, but fingerprints were taken at the scene. mischief. Ofthe other two, one was charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief, and the other was charged with two counts of vandalism, possession of burglary tools and auto burglary. Audio equipment, a car alarm and car keys were taken from a vehicle while it was being repaired; the vehicle was left in an unlocked garage. In another vehicle theft case, audio equipment valued at $300 was taken from an unlocked vehicle, although the car keys and the owner's wallet, also located in the vehicle, were left untouched. A neighbor heard noises and saw the unknown suspects committing widow. The Lehi Sun eulogy, published on January 29, 1931, is a fitting closing reflection today. It read as follows: Hispassinggrievesanentirecom-munity- , for his service to his city and its citizens had brought him close to the hearts of his friends in every walk of life. He was a character, honored and respected by everyone who came in contact with him. His every act was one ofuprightness and honor and both as an individual and a civic way his business dealings were honest and above reproach. It's with bowed head that we, each and every one, pay final tribute to this public servant who has. so freely given of his time and knowledge for thegoodofhiscity and fellow townsmen.
