The city council was told that the inspection went extremely well. Everything is on schedule and even a little under budget, McPherson said. The council is pleased with the price and quality of the work being done by Diana, Inc., city officials reported. Because the voltage of the system is being changed, the transformers being removed and replaced in the rebuilding program are not usable for the city, McPherson said. Although Levan has purchased a few of the transformers, McPherson said there really isnt much of a market to sell them and most of them will have to be scrapped. The city has applied for a grant from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development to rebuild the system north of Center Street and west of Main Street. y 7x-zyyyzyz- ; zua elementary teachers called Building Self-Concep- t. and The program will Self-Charact- er There'll be no gar- was the night bage pickup on New Year's Day There will be no garbage pickup in Nephi next Thursday, Jan. 1, New Years Day.

The council also learned that who will be new the building freeway has asked to purchase 500,000 gallons of water a day from Nephi City. The water would be needed for from 12 to 20 weeks beginning in April of 1981. This, it was pointed out, is the peak water use time for Nephi residents. The council voted, therefore, to wait on making a decision until early spring when it will be clear how productive the Jones Well will be and how costly it will be to pump the water to the freeway site. Lee Scott asked the city to lease him land at the Nephi City airport on which to build a hangar. He showed the council a chart mapping out the present hangars, the residence, and the parking lot. Scotts request created a great deal of thought and discussion not among council members lease to the property, but whether what piece of property to lease. Scott said he needed a space located next to the asphalt at the airport so that his plane could be moved in and out of the hangar, but the council defended its need to keep both the north and south ends of the parking lot (where the available blacktop is located) clear for future expansion. The council also decided that persons the contractor should be for of paving the cost responsible a road from the parking lot to the leasing property property. A compromise was finally reached. Scott will be allowed to lease land just south of the Pex-tohangar at $1 per year for up to 40 years. The city will lay down gravel and roll it, and if Scott does the asphalting in the future, it will be done by the city and charged to him at its actual cost. Scott also brought a letter from a group of citizens protesting the unsightly residence at the airport. Mayor Pexton said he would see what could be done about the matter. n stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And Mamma in her kerchief and 1 in my cap had just settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window! flew like a flash, tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the snow gave a luster of midday to objects below, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, with a little old driver, so lively and quick; I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry. His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow. The stump of a pipe held tight in his teeth, and the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly that shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk. And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, you have a and away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
