Dave Gardner, engineer for the district, says, "This is the greatest project in water history since Brigham,Young' first dug the canals in the new Territory of Des- eret." SANDY COED ELECTED TO SPONSOR CORPS National Contest Draws Friday, Nov. 21, 1952 n JJonor $o(( t. County Lets $20,776 Contract For Jordan Diversion Dam Taxpayers of five cities and towns and several unincorporated areas of Salt Lake county will go! to the polls on Tuesday, Dec. 9, to vote on a $1,990,000 bond issue for the construction of a water supply and distribution system to be operated by the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District. The District was created Sept. 14, 1951 by order of the Third District Court, to solve the drastic need for culinary water throughout the heavily-populateareas of the county. Soon .after its formation, with David L Gardner of Midvale as chief engineer, and Horace T. Godfrey of Union as president, contracts for water supply were secured from Salt Lake City Cor- poration, the Metropolitan Water District and the Kearns water system. If the bond issue is approved by the voters, construction of a plant and pipelines will be started immediately and the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District will act as a wholesaler to already existing water systems, - supplying them with all the water they need, in addition to their present sup plies. It is expected that the installation of this new plant and pipelines will increase water pressures in all sections of the county, and will increase land values in ail areas. The population of Salt Lake County is increasing about 4.6 per cent per annum, and provision must be made immediately to provide culinary water in abundance to meet the growing needs of all county areas. The operation of the proposed Water Conservancy District will provide this need, and will pay for itself In less than 20 years, Is the opinion of district officers. Midvale city, which is now at the limit of its present water supply, is included in the district It takes all of Midvale's water supply to supply local residents, and future growth would be endangered if there were no possibility of securing additional culinary water. The same is true of practically all other communities of the county. d Midvale Third Graders Continue Map Study The third graders at Midvale elementary school are making their large 6 ft by 9 ft map oi Midvale take on the aspects of a true community.
