Next favored is the Cyprus five. As to what the local hopefuls face tonight, let's look at the preseason records. Lehi trounced Murray here and at Lehi. Tooele went to Lehi and came ud with a 50 to 27 victory. Tooele and Bingham are expected to be two of the strongest B aggregations in the state. Coach Clark Johnson has a bunch of hot shooters and bovs who can handle the ball well. His cagers won't be mucji taller than Murray's boys but to date none of the Smelterites has displayed the ability to hit the hoop with any consistency. However, Petty and his boys promise their supporters one thing , they won't be outfought on the floor tonight. Their spirit is good and there's nothing much they'd rather do than start out the season with a win. They lost all nine preeason games- Petty's proved himself to be a good builder and if the young, inexperienced Murray cagers are susceptible, he'll teach them lots of basketball before the season is over. During the past two .lessons Petty has p'feed his charges in the state B tournament, despite miserable preseason records both years. Last year the Smelterites lost every practice game and still finished seventh in the state meet- Petty is still shifting his lineup around quite a bit, trying to find a combination that will produce some baskets. Ronnie Burrows and Stan Mackay, seniors, probably will start, along with Larry Tuckett, sorhomore center. Burrows and Mackay are forwards. It is likely that the rest of the local team will see considerable action. Other team members include Norm Meyers, Gail Brown, Robert Ohweiler, Robert DeNiro. Al McBride. Neil Nelson. Hal Erickson, and Jim Ferguson. v t'.oo, Rites Still Fend For 2 Infants Killed by Train - e Co., Irv Milne of The second tragedy in a year Hudson dealer, is the new sec- to take two ch:ldn-- cf a retary of the Utah Automobile family struck Now Year's Day Dealers' Assn. son and when a three month-olof a Murdaughter MurHarry Thoresen of the ray soldier and his wife were ray Plumbing and Appliance Co. killed shortly after noon when reports a rough trip home from the automobi'e by their southern California after the mother, in which they were ridNew Year holidays.

Meanwhile, the city has engaged the firm of Sherman De-lan- d 404 - all-sta- n r:p-ni- months ago, The committee recommends construction on the proposed high school site of a building of approximately 12 rooms, in addition to a kindergarten, a general purpose room, rooms for administration, toilets and service rooms and a heating plant. It is suggested that this building be constructed for use as an elementary school for th next four years and be on such location of such design that it also could be used as part of a senior high school plant to include grades ten to twelve, inclusive. The committee recommends that the board plan for construction of the new high school with in the next four years if money can be secured for the purpose. The committee which included State School Supt. E. Allen Bate- man, Asst. Supt. N. J. Barlow, Dr. Roald F. Campbell and Dr. Paul C- - Fawley of the University of Utah, based many of their recommendations upon reports on Murray census furnished them by the office of Murray Supt. J. Easton Parratt The Murray board of education will meet to consider the committee's report Wednesday, the . fust meeting day nf .the new board, which will seat a new member, Mrs. E. Brent Gaufin, and reorganize. The committee pointed out that a rapid increase in the high school census could be expected beginning with the school year 1954-5but that the immediate need is greater in the elementary school grades. reOther recommendations school the high proposed garding included: That the board purchase additional area for the high fchool at the earliest time such property available. That the high school not face upon State St., but that it face upon a new street to be con structed at the sou'h side of the propery or face on 53rd South. Other recommenlations of the committee regarding elementary is school? included: That there shwld be som? improvements at the Bonnvvicw ard Liberty schools, especially with regard i improvement of lighting facilities. That is is probable that the building to be erected after the classroom unit on the proposed high school site is built should be a small addition of several rooms to the Liberty school. In explaining its rocommenda-tioto start the proposed high school as an elementary school the committee cited the follown-- xt n ing: 1. The geographic direction of elementary school growth is not clearly defined. There are not sufficient children in the southeast section of the city at the present time to justify the erection of an elementary school in that area. 2 The erection of a new school at the Miller St. site is not justified at this time because elementary school enrollments in that area in the next few years are not expected to be as great as in the Arlington and Liberty areas. 3. A large Bddition to the pre sent Liberty school would not adequately relieve the overcrowding in the Arlington area, or vice versa- They further felt the Arlington school Lt as large as a jungle elementary school - Mendelssohn Chorus To Present Concert represen- ting the Esglc Signal Co., Moline 111., to make a new traffic survey on State St. In Murray, Mayor Hansen said. .

This fact was revealed when the city adopted its budget for 1951. Next year's budget of $570, !00, anticipates a surplus equal to thaf started with this year. The property tax levy of Murray City will remain at 15 mills, the City commission decided. At least $30.$00 of the increased surplus was clue to increased power plant revenue. The city! anticipated an income of $225,-- 1 000 but it rose to $255,000 during! 1950. Operating expenses at the; power plant were under anticipated costs by about $15,000. Next year's power plant revenue is anticipated in the budget at $250,000.

Salary increases of city officials have increased the budget to $12,300 for 1951, compared to $11,300 in 1950 and $8,100 in 1349. Police and prison is given $22,810 for 1951, compared to an estimated expenditure during the past year of $20,900.
