Show The Act's Smash Finish & EPSON IN WASHINGTON Committees Cracking Down On Unregistered Lobbyists Following Gas Measure Veto . PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 1956 Eyesores in Otherwise Beautiful City We know a Provo citizen who lets the parkway in front of his house go to weeds because this strip between the sidewalk and the curb "is the city's responsibility." Whether for the same reason or some other one, a lot of other folks, including some "businesses and schools, are also neglecting to improve the parkways abutting their property. This lack of civic pride and responsibility is resulting in a shabby appearance that is spoiling the over-al- l beauty of the city. Technically, perhaps, the parkways are the city's responsibility. But we're quite sure Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen wouldn't want to foot the tax bill it would take to put this property, throughout the city, under public .maintenance. Lacking the budget for such an operation, the city now does the next best thing and runs a mowing machine along the parkways, whe)e practicable, to cut the tall grass and weeds. Tliis helps, but it's a poor substitute for a well-keparkway, sodded with lawn grass. It's our feeling that any property owner with an ounce of civic pride should not begrudge the time, effort and expense it takes to beautify the parkway in front of his property. That applies to businesses, public institutions, etc., as well as private y By PETER ED SON NEA Washington Correspondent needed fixing up.

We're wondering why a similar pro-gram couian z oe aaoptea as a civic project by some civic, women's or frater nal organization. Under such a project, the city could be surveyed and a record made of neglected parkways and premises. The organization could then send a letter to the property owner, urging, from a standpoint of citizenship and civic pride, that the property be cleaned up and beauti fied. It would be a friendly appeal made in behalf of a community-wid- e project for beautification a program with which nobody can really disagree. Such a program, we feel, would produce results. But we hope citizens, owners of business property, and others will not s WASHINGTON (NEA) None of the five principals involved in Los Angeles oilman Howard B. Keek's effort to give campaign funds to senators favoring the now-- ? vetoed Natural Gas Act amendments were registered as a congressional lobbyist. This is revealed by a check of lobbyists' registrations for the first quarter of 1956, when the gas bill was before the Senate. Every individual or firm attempting to influence! legislation is required by law to file with the Senatst secretary or House clerk a quarterly report on Ms lobby--f ing activities and expenses. The names checked in this connection were those; brought out in the disclosure by Sen. Francis Case;. that a $2,500 contribution had been offered his campaign manager in an apparent attempt to influence his vote. The principals were: J HOWARD B.

They can start now by cleaning up the park ways, ridding them of weeds, and working toward sodding them with lawn grass. The job shouldn't end there. Loose paper, old bottles and other debris which litter the sidewalks and streets should be picked up. Private premises should be kept clean and green. Trash piles should be eliminated.
