Show Universal Mi crofila Corp. 141 Pierpont Salt Lake City, Vdx THIS 'ft THAT By Jay Overheard on Main St.,: "Congratulations . . . Are you going to fix our street next year?" Almost 70 of the registered voters in Midvale went to the polls Tuesday. That's a mighty fine turnout. Good candidates and a good campaign are bound to stir up a lot of interest. Close election, too only 180 votes between first and last, and only 25 between a third place winner and a fourth place loser. When you realize that only 13 people, by changing their mind, could have changed the outcome, you realize what a affair the election was. The whole thing shows a healthy interest in municipal affairs, and we hope it stays that way.
