' ' The showroom will be built by Richard and Lloyd Brough of Nephi about two blocks west of the interchange. It will be built e to resemble a service station in Spring City. It will be 27 feet long, 12.5 feet wide, and 12 feet high. The Broughs are building the showroom to advertise their antique auto business. The main showroom of the business is located at 250 North Main in Nephi. Much of the companys business has come from tourists who pass through town. Since the freeway has bypassed Nephi, however, many of those tourists never see the antique autos. The Broughs hope the showroom will draw some of the tourists off to see their automobile collection. .

A September 20, 1984 Nephi City adopts new utility shutoff policy Nephi utility users who dont pay their bills on time will be faced with a shutoff of those utilities 30 days earlier than is the current practice, the Nephi City Council decided Tuesday night. The council passed the shutoff resolution in response to delinquent accounts written-of- f last spring. The resolution becomes effective Nov. 1. The water and power board has spent the summer working on the new policy. Were not a charitible organization . . . Nephi City cant get stuck with the bill, Mayor Robert Steele told the council.

I think its a pretty good He raised the price and one of the DUP officers told him to compromise. It isnt as strong as I had hoped for, but it is a go ahead and sell it, reported good compromise, Councilman Morgan, so he did. Frank Booth told the council. The commissioners say the old courthouse would be worthless without the tower, since the tower would be the only piece of history left from the oldest section of the building. If we cant have the tower at the price we agreed to, then we may as well let the whole place be tom down. Its no good to us without the tower, Morgan said. The fate of the old county jail is also in question, because Fitzen says he has demolition rights to that, as well. The commissioners and County Attorney Don Eyre Jr. disagree, however. They say Fitzen has no right to demolish the old jail. When we asked for a demolition bid, we asked for the bid on the county courtElder Ron Andrews, son house and the jail, said Eyre.

The commission gave three old county-ownebuildings to the DUP several weeks ago. They are the old county courthouse, the old county jail, and the old Brough building. The Brough building is located directly west of the old jail. The county courthouse is comprised of several parts. The oldest part, built in 1884, sits at the front of the building. The newest part, built in 1935, is at the back. The DUP intended to move the buildings tower from the older section to the ground, demolish the older section of the building, put a new front on the remaining section, and then move the tower to the refurbished building. The building would then be used as a DUP museum. The oldest section must be demolished because it is unsafe, the commission says. In a recent commission meeting, the commissioners donated enough money to the DUP for them to purchase the tower and have it moved. The DUP was authorized to pay for the tower and were told they should conduct negotiations with David Fitzen of American Fork, the salvager. The agreed price for the purchase of the tower and the moving fee was $1,500, say the commissioners, but Fitzen reportedly told DUP officers he wanted more money than the $1,500 for d Lena Whiting, 80, dies; funeral held :Anna Lena Nelson Whiting, Serving East Juab County Full schedule planned for Juab High School homecoming week Anna Lena Nelaon Whiting Nelson, both of.
