Douglas Allen is membership chairman. R. Mayor Hansen made a trip to Vernal two weeks ago. Results of this trip may mean a saving of $15,000 per year to the city. The mayor reports that he found a type of fuel oil there that can be had for eight cents per gallon, nearly three cents a gallon less than what the city is now paying. At the rate the city uses diesel fuel oil 500,000 gallons a year the three1 cents adds up to a1 big saving. - T ted-Mr- .

The newly organized Murray Chamber of Commerce has elected officers for the year. It has yet to appoint perhaps the most important man, the executive secretary. The Salt Lake Chamber has Gus P. Backman as its secretary, a man who has done more than any other individual to put Salt Lake City on the map. The Murray Chamber is looking for a man of Backman's caliber. Just how much salary he would receive and whether or not he would be expected to work full or part time, remains a decision the board of governors will make soon. Work on the new diesel plant on 48th South is going forward steadily but city officials are un willing to hazard a guess as to when it might be ready to deliver the desperately needed power. Hopes of last year that the new diesels would be producing this spring,' have been abandoned. Present hopes are that they will be on the line this fall " t t-'u. servrv which j n the meeting adjourn- - re- Murray police Wednesday quested aid of state police agencies in locating a 1946 or 1947 hit-ru- n DeSoto coupe involved in a accident Wednesday at 2:30 I 23 and 54 a m "o a.m. at 4794 S.
