Clifford Hansen, commissioner said this week. Mr. Hansen explained that in 1919 a bond issue of $125,000 was voted in Murray to lay several miles of water main. The pipe used at that time was wood stave and after 21 years is rapidly decaying. For the past few years, he said, this old pipe has given the water department trouble from numerous leaks which are hard to repair and costly. In 1939 770 feet of this old pipe was replaced with cast iron; 8600 feet was replaced in 1940 on State Street and this year about 1200 feet will be replaced on different streets on the west side of town. In a few years the entire system of water mains will have been renewed and paid for. Mr. Hansen pointed out that the water mains have been in poor condition for a number of e years and that without the program of gradual replacement a bond issue would have been necessary in the near future. As the 1919 issue is still being paid off, the additional expense of another issue at the present time would be a serious undertaking for the city. "Our plan of paying as we go for this expensive job will mean a saving of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of Murray City", he declared. The type of pipe being used for replacement is made of cast iron, and unlike the old water mains, will last indefinitely. long-rang- pre- - 1 moving picture show at 8 pm . S( IIIDUIES ioe.

McOMIE 4" J. Joe McOmie Honored On His 60th Birthday Anniversary Joseph McOmie, genial driver of one of the Murray Laundry trucks, and one of Murray's lifelong residents celebrated his 60th birthday anniversary Tuesday. He was honored guest at a family dinner at their home 5011 Glenn street, where his children and their families were present to offer congratulations. Congratulations are certainly due Mr. McOmie upon arriving at the age of CO, and looking at least 10 years younger, and better still being hale and hearty. At an. age when most men think of retirement he is carrying on the same as he has for the past 30 years. Mr. McOmie went to work for the Murray Laundry about 30 years ago as salesman just a year following the laundry's establishment in Murray. He has been a resident of this comhas been a member and munity of the Salt Lake County and Murray City fire departments for 16 years. Few people can boast a record He has such as Mr. McOmie's. been driving a truck for 24 years during which period he has traveled approximately 300,000 miles without an accident. He has been on the job every day of the 30 years, never missing a day because of his own illness. Mr. McOmie has a remarkable record for traffic safety having never been found guilty of a traffic violation. He says that a slogan, "Stop to think and you'll think to stop" is largely responsible for keeping out of trouble. His eldest son, Douglas, was born on the same day of the month, week, and the same hour as his father, some 30 years later of course. The celebration Tuesday honored both father and son. Mr. McOmie says he gets great pleasure from serving the public. His hobby is flower culture, and his greatest pleasure is his home and family. He enjoys fishing and motoring. Three of Mr. and Mrs. McOmie's eight sons and daughteis live with their parents on Glenn Street. 4 Chris-tense- n.
