This bequest was the first of its kind ever received by Midvale Firemen's Ass'n. Chief Bosh said the will be added to the ambulance fund to aid the free ambulance servicemoney for the south end of the valley. This 'n that By Joy Overheard on Main St.: "A highway interchange makes it possible to drive someplace you did not intend to go because you can't get anywhere else." You have to give the seven mayors of the smaller cities in Salt Lake County credit for getting the attention of the officials who have been ignoring them for years. The mayors picked the right time and the right means of getting their attention before the public. They got the legislative session postponed, and when it is called they will probably get exactly the bill they want. They made their point before the county commission, which gave them a lot of noisy but in the end a argument clearcut victory for the may- ors. The seven mayors obviously rule the Council of Governments and made it clear that they will not "rubber stamp" plans just because the big city wants something. The seven mayors, just a little smarter than the big wheels suspected, asked for a legal ruling on the status of the merged health department and the result was a disaster for Salt Lake City. With the county unable to give a figure on what the cost will be, it is highly likely that the seven cities will pull out of the merger and provide their own health services, which they can do for a fraction of what the merger would cost. The Salt Palace, In trouble because the University Special Events Center is getting all the entertainment business, is screaming for a working agreement to keep the university facility out of the entertainment business. When the Salt Palace opened and began taking business away from Valley Music Hall, there was no attempt by the Salt Palace to work out any agreement, and the music hall went broke. Now the Salt Palace Is getting a dose of its own medicine. It is doubtful if the Salt Palace will ever "go broke" because the taxpayer will have to foot the bill, and it appears we have .a great big White Elephant on our hands. Now that we have had our late spring frost, it will probably warm up and be nice. It will be some time before the extent of the Monday night freeze will be fully known, but there was some frost, and the fruit situation is once more mighty precarious. Continued on page 2 Salt Flat News Property at State St. and 7200 South, recently annexed to Midvale City, was zoned 2 commercial Mondaynlght by the city council following a public hearing. The hearing was brief and lightly attended, with only two members of the planning commission, four persons appearing for the change, and none in opposition. According to ordinance, all areas annexed to the city are automatically zoned residential and are changed only after a public hearing. Under county zoning, part of the area, that adjacent to State St., was zoned commercial and was occupied by a trailer court. Under the new city zoning the entire property is zoned commercial, permitting the trailer court to expand Its operation, city off - Five Juveniles, all 15 years old and all first offenders, were arrested by Midvale police for possession of beer and Ronald Lynn Lott, 18, who admitted purchasing the beer, was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Faux in Third District Court Tuesday, June 1, at 10 a.m. Setting of the trial date followed the hearing of a writ before the Utah Supreme Court, which referred the matter back to the district court for hearing, which was held May 6, resulting in the setting of the date for trial. After the hearing, Judge an order Faux issued restraining Sandy City from making any capital improvements to the area under question; required the city to produce the records of ordin- ances and petitions upon which the ordinances are based; required the city to continue regular services to the area; ordered no undue pressures upon any of the petitioners; and required the plaintiffs to furnish their addresses to the defendants. The areas annexed, which are questioned in the actions, involve about two square miles of territory, from the Midvale city limits near 8600 South to 9400 South, and in some instances to 11000 South. Some of the annexed property adjoins the freeway west of the city and some extends east as far as 700 East. The group of petitioners asking the voiding of the annexation in the June 1 trial has Myrna Mae Nebeker as attorney, and the plaintiffs include Mabel S. Johnson and 61 others. The petitioners contend that Sandy City cannot produce the petition necessary for these people's property to be annexed, that a majority of these people never signed petitions; that some of the annexations were never recorded by Salt Lake County; that one of the annexations was illegal because it was passed at a special instead of a regular session of the council; and that notice by posting was not properly given. Sandy city officials deny these allegations, though admitting that the papers on one of them have been lost or misplaced but will be in court June 1; and that notices of an $3,910.

The publishers of the Sentinel hope that their 6,000-od- d readers will find the Salt Flat News interesting and a worthwhile addition to their hometown weekly paper. They will find factual stories and features centering about the salt flats which are only a few miles away, they will find perhaps a laugh or maybe a smile or two, and will learn more than they ever had an opportunity to learn before about the salt flats, which are beyond doubt one of the most unique geographical features in the whole country. to the freeway interchange. After authorizing Mayor Joe Mazuran to sign the necessary papers on behalf of the city, the council adopted a motion by Dr. Jed W.
