Mayor Beckstead advised the council that he has taken several actions to keep children off the dangerous freeway, where cars travel at high speed and are not looking for children in the right of way. School principals have been advised of the practice and have warned children. State The Highway Dep't has been advised and has agreed to string a strand of barb wire along the bottom of the fences, making illegal access to the freeway more difficult. Midvale have police pledged themselves to keep a close watch and to apprehend any child who tries to crawl under the fence. The mayor also reported to the council that the State Highway Dep't has agreed to study the dangerous situation at the entrance to the Frontage Rd. at Sugar St., just east of the interchange. This condition was discussed at the last council meeting. The mayor also reported that engineers' plans show that thp best route for the outfall sewer of County Sewerage Dist.

Midvale's new garbage truck arrived Tuesday morning and was immediately put into service. The new unit is considered superior in every way to the old unit and will transport two additional cubic yards of garbage. Midvale councilmen met with county commissioners Wednesday afternoon regarding the financing of the swimming pool at Midvale Junior High.
