Heights library planned Miss Midvale Pageant theme: "a spring reign" A new county library is in the early planning stages for Cottonwood Heights, to be located on a site at 2200 East and 7000 South.

Public approval of the plan was quick and definite, but the city council has been slow to take steps to Implement the master plan. A Neighborhood Re- development Agency has now been formed by the council and a steering committee appointed. One conference has been held with HUD officials from Denver and Salt Lake to acquaint council mem bers with the necessary steps In activating the master plan. Further information on criteria activating the master plan is offered this week by Verne of Drea-go- ux Certain criteria were established by the planning team prior to Implementation of the planning sequence.

Probably foremost of these criteria is the fact that cities of comparable size to Midvale generally find themselves plest of needs relative to the social pace of our current and projected environments. Certainly, when we purchase an automobile in order to maintain a competive level with the rest of American society we transgressing find ourselves the beyond boundaries of our island.
