Charged with assault with a deadly weapon, Pete Tony 20, Midvale, is being held in the county jail under $1,500 bond, and Ray Stohm, held as a material witness, is also in the county jail. Chief of police Louis Smith reported arrest of Benevidez at Magna by sheriff's officers Tuesday morning, followed by the arrest of Strohm in Salt Ben-avide- Lake City Tuesday afternoon. Police received a call from Abreu about 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Officer Leo Lewis found Abreu badly beaten about the head, evidence of heavy bleeding in the small apartment at 39 Smelter St., and and was told by that the attack had occurred shortly after 6 p.m. and he had apparently been unconscious for about three hours. Abreu named his assailant, saying that Strohm took no part nor came to his aid, Smith reported. Abreu reported the three had watched tv in his combination all afternoon. There had been no argument and no warning, he said. He told Chief Smith that after being struck several times on the head he tried to get a pistol from under his pillow, but could not before his assailant left. After Benavidcz' arrest Tuesday Chief Smith signed a felony warrant before Judge J. Patton Neely in Salt Lake. Benavidez was held under $1,500 bond on the felony and was also sentenced to 26 days or $125 fine under a shoplifting warrant previously held by Midvale police, and for contempt of court. Strohm wah held for parole violation and as a material witness.

It appears that Ray P. Greenwood will be the new flood con- trol director for Salt Lake County. Greenwood has been a county commissioner, mayor of Murray, and a member of the flood control committee for the county. The first fire call turned in to keep the siren silent at night turned up some problems that had not been anticipated, and may result in the firemen asking for siren to blow for all alarms turned in. When a person reports a fire, sounding of the siren gives him immediate confirmation that the alarm has been turned in. Not hearing the siren, the person could be uncertain that the fire department had been notified. Firemen feel that the siren brings faster response by members of the department. Department members report they have worked out a system: When the siren sounds, the fireman jumps into his clothes and races for his car; his wife phones for the location of the fire and shouts it to him. When there is no siren, a ring or two may be required to awaken the fireman, and another couple of rings to get to the phone. Then he still has to dress. Firemen tell us the siren saves them two to three minutes. With no siren, the police patrolling the city have no notification of the fire and cannot give the fire trucks the right of way protection they should have. Men who drive the fire trucks also report that the wailing of the siren is a warning to other traffic to yield to the fire trucks. Conversation of firemen indicates that they feel the command system installed some months ago is excellent, and should be continued, but that the fire department in a volunteer system should have every advantage, and on of those advantages is the audible siren signal. "When lives and properly are at stake, I don't think the sleeping beauties should complain being awakened by the siren," one fireman commented. after the decision Commissioner Crcer wants to spend $35,000 for an elevator for use of prisoners in the Metropolitan Hall of Justice.

Thur-mand- , director of pupil personnel, advised the Jordan board of education that another senior high school will be necessary by 1969-70- . Thurmond's projections, made from students now attending school in the district plus a conservative estimate of move-istudents, indicated that there will be 3,400 high school students by 1969-7in the areas s now served by Jordan and Bingham High, which should be other . un school, and equally dents to Hillcrcst or the CottonHeights area. Transporting from the north portion of the district to a school in the Draper area would present even more of a problem. If the new school were in the Draper area it would be possi ble to transport Kiverton stu- dents io il' but lnat would mean ing Midvale students to Bingham to fill space avail able there. The board took the matter under advisement, hoping for a solution by the next board meeting Jan. 25. District-owed sites will be studied and the board authorized the purchase wood 0 n n t n Supt. Reed H. Beckstead was authorized to assemble a committee of principals and administrators to study the problem and make recomendations. Thurmond said tnat wnile the district is siill growing, the rate of growth is showing a steady, small decline over the last four years. He told the board that there will no problems in the district next year if buildings now under construction are completed. If the Midvale elementary addition is ready this fall, the children can be handled by shifting school boundaries. And if East Midvale is ready, as now appears likely, the district will have rooms to spare, a rare circumstance, Thurmond added. He expects that all school rooms on the west side will be in use next year, with the old South Jordan building available it necessary. Bids were accepted for the purchase of eignt new school uuscs.
