By MARCELLA WALKER In 1851 Brigham Young PLEASANT GROVE sent a few pioneer families to settle in what is now Pleasant Grove. One hundred and twenty years later the original six families had grown to 5,527 persons in 1970. In the ten years since the population has doubled and the community now has ap- - DUCKETT'S L.

Cornell Haynie who has served on the proximately nSi4!! city council as councilman or mayor during the past ten years, stated that with this tremendous growth which the city has had in recent years comes tremendous problems, too. He said that providing the services for the community, doubling the number of city employees, handling drainage from the many new subdivisions, maintenance of sewer, water and roads, and many other necessities has been a real burden on the community. It was pointed out that federal tightening of regulations for water treatment resulted in the regional wastewater treatment plant being built and put into service this past August Outdated facilities which could not pass require--" ments for police protection for the size of the community resulted in construction of the public safety building.

The city council has been forced to update city policies on improvements and construction in order to try and help the developers and the city maintain orderly growth, he said. During the past ten years the city lias helped with several special improvement districts in order to install roads, curbs and gutters in as many locations as possible, he noted. The 500 North improvement project finished in 1976 was a prime example of this, he pointed out. Improvements to existing parks and the acquisition of the new 15 acre Battlecreek Park which was recently completed has been a prime goal of the city. Acreage and population has been added to the city often during the past ten years as more and more property owners on the east and north sides of the city asked for annexation. Most recent was the annexation of the county area known as Manila from the north city limits to 8800 North in the county. The city was already of"to this area including fire fering many services protection, recreation, shopping, and library facilities. Children from this area also attend school in Pleasant Grove. During the last decade the Veterans Memorial Pool was turned over to the city because it was too imexpensive for the Veterans to maintain. Many provements have been made to the pool in order that it would meet all safety and health requirements. Pleasant Grove's recreation department has been recognized as one of the best in the state. In addition, to all the other progams it offers, tne recreation department ahs hosted several outstanding tournaments such as the Western Regional Women's fastpitch tournament, Men's state class A and Class B fastpitch tournaments the men's major state tournament in fast pitch, the inStrawberry Days tournament, and the city vitational in which several teams from outside the if i 77 O : ft . lijv i" s - ftS 1 - TH,vvw !f v1 ' -- III i' oft-tim- es city participate.
