County BINGHAM CANYON and WEST JORDAN, UTAH, FRIDAY. JUNE 8, 19G2 . An ind.p.ndent Newspaper PHONE AMherst Down Memory Lane BY JOHN J. CREEDON BUSINESS SECTION OF BINGHAM TO GO NEXT It was a familiar sight to see Di Flynn or Straup, with their 1 i 1 1 black bag tied to the saddle makini their way to a sick call. It was in the old Bingham Livery that the hearse with glass window was stored. 1 never could figur out the reason for the glass win dows. You couldn't see anythini but the coffin and for sure, thi occupant could not sea out thi windows. Monk Wilcox, a boy who knev little but horses, spent most of hi time at the livery stable and it i said that he used to sleep in th hearse at night. The thought of do ing this made a hero to the othei kids, but-non- of us would thinl After a lull in the demolition activities in the town, again they are tearing away at old landmarks and buildings that were so much a part of the business in the town. Doomed to go shortly is the bus-iness block from the Feraco Build-ing at 482 Main to the Copper King at 500 Main. " Since the town was young this section has been one of the most active areas in the life of Bingham. Where the Pastime now stands, 4 was the site of Harry Nobles' Vien na Cafe, at one time the classiest restaurant in town. It had a private dining room upstairs and a tank of water in the front window with live trout, which was a drawing i n jm. " HJlWt cara, especially for the young people passing by. Some years later, this was the site of Royal Candy Co. No. 2 operated by Gus and Pete Pitch-io- s. This building burned down in of doing the same. It was in this aection that man of the famous, or infamous, how ever, you may look at it, bar wer located. Next to the livery (table wa th "Old Crow", It had the llargest anc longest bar in town and wa oper-ated by John Sindar. It was here saw my first moving picture. My father took me to see the movie, don't recall what it was, but thii bar had all the inducements to draw customers. They had a punching bag that recorded the force of youi blow and this wa a great attrac-tion. I remember taking empty beei bottle to the Old Crow. One of my pal in Carr Fork, Bert Gregory and I used to make this trip regu-larly. We would receive a few cents for a sack of bottles from the bar tender, Bert Cregory, Sr., father of my friend. . Next door down the street was the Monarch Bar and Globe Hotel. The Monarch was run by Herrick and Jones and I have heard that Si Jones sat in a high chair overlook-ing the gaming tables, much like the Golden Nuggett in Las Vegas, with a double barreled shotgun, guarding the stacks of money on the tables. 1 must tell my readers that the stories of these bar and gambling joint are through the eye and word of friends of mine. 1 was much too young to be allowed in these places. Mr. Creedon ?31 nd was re- -' placed by the present Pastime building, built by Sam Kappas. The downstairs wa occupied by a pool hall and small " cafe. It was here that Paul Erz and Basco Joe held fort for some time. The last one to occupy the pool hall and cafe was Jacinto Rivera. C. P. t Tom operated the cafe for a num-- I ber of years also. I Old timer will ' remember the ; Bingham Livery on the site of the ' Princess Theater building. I have already covered the building and opening of the theater, but the old Bingham Livery was certainly an historic landmark. It was the larg-est and busiest livery in the town. Owned and operated by George E. Chandler, it had saddle horses for ' .hire and rigs and wagons of all ' type. . Bingham Livery wa a hangout for many of the regular about town and it wa here that the gos-sip and discussions of the day were aired and talked about. We all can remember the thrill of seeing the rig come dashing down the steep ramp and make the turn up or down the street, some-times on two wheels. Saddle horses were on the move constantly. Peo-ple living in Highland Boy and up-per Bingham would hire a horse to take them home and then would tie the reins over the saddle horn and turn them loose and they would come back to their stall for the next chore. Doctor and other had their own I private hone and stall in the livery and they were on call day and night.

DAVID AMD GOLIATH : business snmMMT UNIONS BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS AT KENNECOTT Negotiations for new contracts between unions and Kennecott Copper Corp. resumed Tuesday morning for the Western Mining Division, which includes Utah Cop-per. Talks were being conducted on the four-stat- e basis (Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico) with the Steelworkers of America. Negotiations were scheduled to resume with the International Un-ion of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work-ers on Thursday. The union represents nearly 10,000 workers in the western di-vision of which 6,500 are in the Utah Copper Division. Total em-ployment in the WMD is over II,-00- 0 with 7,000 in Utah. The contracts between the cop-per producing firm and the two unions expire at the end of June. Preliminary talks were held in May during which the unions pre-sented their demands. Union officials have said they expect to bargain over such items as wage increases, shift different-ials,- health and welfare benefits, pensions, severance pay, vacations, holidays, job evaluation, accrued benefits, service requirements and supplemental workmen' compen-sation benefits. In addition to the Steelworkers and the Mine-Mi- ll union contracts expiring at the end of June, other unions with bargaining agreements set to end include: The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, locals 1081, 1438 and 1845; Office Employees International Union, local 286; Sys-tems Federation, local 155; Broth-erhood of Railway Carmen of Am-erica, local 1045, and the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, local 506. Three unions in the Utah Cop-per Division have contracts which expire at the end of July. They are the International Association of Machinists, local 568, Operating Engineers, local 3, and the Brother-hood of Locomotive Firemen and Engincmen, local 844. . New. contracts in the copper in-dustry have been signed with most of the major producers and repre-sentative unions except KCC. JORDAN OUTLINES NEW BUDGET The tentative budget for the Jor-dan School District calls for an ex-penditure of $7,082,120 for the 1962-6- 3 school year. 1 he budget has been filed with the clerk of Jordan District, as re-quired by law, by Superintendent Reed H. Beckstead. It is available for public inspection at the school district offices, 9361 South State Street, Sandy. The budget has not yet been ap-proved by the Board of Education, Supt. Beckstead emphasized. The board was to have discussed the budget at its Thursday meeting (June 7). Although the budget represents an increase of $944,699 (about 15 per cent) over the 1961-6- 2 budget of $6,137,521, very little, tax in-crease will be required to finance it, Mr. Beckstead said. The estimated local property tax levy for 1962-6- 3 is 36 mills, up just nine-tenth- s of a mill from the current levy of 35.1. This boost is accounted for in the increase of a capital outlay levy from I.I mill to 2 mills to provide additional funds for building construction. The Jordan District will have an estimated enrollment next year of 13,479, an increase of more than 1,000 students, Mr. Beckstead said. A raise in the district's assessed evaluation from $136 million to $156.5 million make the increased budget possible with virtually no tax increase. Budget comparisons, with the new budget (1962-63- ) amount stated first and the old budget (1961 -- 62) amount in parenthesis, are: General control, $82,600 ($77,-900- ); instruction, $3,652,230 ); coordinate activities (health services, cafeterias, etc.), $77,000 ($74,525); transportation, $170,000 ($159,800); operation of school plant, $438,000 ($370,-750- ); maintenance of schools, $145,000 ($139,350); fixed charg-es (insurance, retirement, etc.), $320,000 ($291,875); capital out-lay (from ill tax), $314,370 ($148,026); debt service, $7,500 ($7,500); South Park Academy (the Utah State Prison high school classes), $16,200 ($16,200); bldg. reserve fund (from 1 capital outlay levy), $1,859,220 (1,591.-520- ).

This outlook, department of fish and game spokesmen noted today, will hold especially true on the ma-jor drainages throughout the nor-thern half of the state where heavy nowpack at higher elevation are yet to come down the streams. OPENER TERMED "GOOD" High water and weather extrem-es set an unpredictable fishing pat-tern over the opening week end of Utah' 1962 angling season. Despite this, however, an estima-ted 180,000 anglers enjoyed gener-ally fair to good fishing over the opener. High water levels in the .reser-voirs together with recent cool wea-ther, conspired to slow creel re-turns on several waters to a point below those earlier anticipated. In spite of this, reports coming to de-partment offices from field person-nel, resort operators, and individ-uals alike were summarized from all sections of the state in words, "Most everyone caught some fish and many anglers limited." As predicted earlier the larger waters sustained the heaviest fishing pressure and yielded thebest re-turns to anglers over the weekend. These traditionally favored lakes, streams, and reservoirs from Pan-guit- ch on the south to Blacksmith Fork and Logan Rivers on the north produced from fair to good catches of trout. Mid-Apr- il type weather and wa-ter conditions were the rule thru-ou- t the state over the weekend. Department spokesmen noted these same conditions were owing, in large part, to the absence of "red hot" fishing on many waters but added that angling re-turns are expected to pick up with the gradual stabilization and lower-ing of water levels on the streams and reservoirs. The general angling season con-tinues through Nov. 30 with daily fishing hours 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. Violations of fish and game laws covering the opening weekend of the fishing season showed a number of arrests being made for "over-limit- s of fish." The department reminded that justice courts take a dim view of such violations and heavy fines are usually assessed the guilty parties. Spokesmen urged anglers to re-spect these limits in the interest of fair play and a more equitable dis-tribution of fish to all license hold-ers. Possession limits and bag limits once again this year remain as one and the same. For trout and or salmon, regulations list the bag and possession limits for each license holder as ten fish or seven pounds and one fish, whichever is caught first. Department officials also remin-ded that licenses are required by law for anyone 12 years of age or older. Trout limits for resident children under twelve were listed as four fish or three pounds and one fish, whichever is caught first. For non-resident children under twelve the law requires that all fish taken must be counted in the bag of the adult angler accompanying the ju-venile. Creel checks over the week end disclosed that several waters this year will consistently produce fish in the pound or better each class, prompted the further reminder to observe weight limits. Spokesmen noted that the weight limits of all game fish are comput-ed on the basis of dressed weight of the fish with heads and tails in-tact. There are no minimum size lim-its on any fish species in Utah. ST. PAUL'S METHODIST Russell Bryant, ' Pastor Sunday School 1 0 to II a.m. Church Service 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon.

K. Porter Company. According to James Stephens, manager of the local Thermoid plant, over 2,200 man days of local labor amounting to a payroll of about $36,000 have been used if the manufacture of conveyor and transmission belting which have been installed in the materials hand-ling system of the Utah Copper Di-vision smelter. The material handling system now in the final stages of construc-tion, has 8,442 feet of conveyor belts to carry copper concentrate and silica material to storage areas or directly to furnaces. v An efficient feature of the belt installation is the use of splices ra-ther than mechanioal fasteners to hold pieces of belting together. The splices, although somewhat more costly to install initially, eliminate spillage and lengthen the overall life of belting. The belting installed at the smel-ter is made of 5 ply cotton and ny-lon fabric embedded in synthetic rubber top covers 3I6" thick and bottom cover I I 6" thick.
