In connection with the Mona and Nephi 24th of July celebrations, the Mona DUP is working to publish several individual histories of a few of the original Mona pioneers. The books will go on sale to raise funds. The books also will be offered for sale at the Mona Cemetery during the Memorial Day weekend. Mayor Newton asked Mrs. Kay to make a list of those who are known to be buried in the DUP Park in town, since many people visiting on Memorial Day ask that question. Mrs. Kay said she would list as many as she could, but the task is difficult since many bodies buried at the DUP park were exhumed, and relocated to the present Mona Cemetery when it opened in 1869. She said someone recently placed a grave marker Steele suggested a notice be inplaced in The forming the public about the Times-New- s Lucile Johnson, a lecturer and family therapist, will speak on the topic "Everybody Needs Somebody.

Were informed by city administrator Randy McKnight that U.S. West Communications has requested that it be given permission to route a buried fiber-opti- c transmission line through Nephi. The system would come from Utah County to Main Street, east to 1st East, then down to 2nd North. A second request would take the line through the old football field over to 1st North and on over to the telephone building at the corner of 1st East and Center. The city engineer and utility superintendents are reviewing the requests to see how the citys electric, water, and sewer lines will be affected. f Received a request for a business license from Craigs Home Repair, Craig Thatcher owner.

Any doiation to assist the DUP musj be made in May to be considered in the new budget, said Mayor Newton. Mrs. Kay said she would remind the council of the DUP request for funds at that time.

The commissioner upped the amount from the $350 donated to the venture last year. Twenty bands have been invited to this years parade five more than appeared last year. Of those bands, 10 have already confirmed that they will be in attendance, says Dave Morgan, who heads the project. Morgan said it will take more than $5,000 to bring the bands to Nephi. Each band must have money for buses, drivers, and instructors, and the cost increases should increase the amount donated to help meet the increasing costs. People seem to like bands, agreed Richard Brough, commission chairman. It brings more revenue into town, agreed Commissioner Ike Lunt, but he said he would abstain from voting on the request to donate more money to the project, because he is also a member of the Ute Stampede Committee. In addition, said Morgan, he plans to increase the project he began last summer to bring musical groups to perform concerts in the park. projects set for Mona Three construction will be going on projects corridor to intelephone line from Santaquin to Nephi.

The projects include the construction of a natural-ga- s pipeline which will serve East Juab County and provide gas hookups to Mona; the construcs tion of a telephone line for U.S. West Communications; and the scheduled imn provement of the road by the Utah Department of Transportation. The first two projects will be corridor using the Street. Main off Monas just According to Mona Mayor Greg Newton, bonds to finance the gas project will be sold in the early part of April. The main construction bid will be let by April 15 and the actual work will begin in May.

In discussing the work, Mayor Newton expressed the Mona Elementary kindergarten registration set - 623-208- 'A with the mileage driven. Local businesses donated approximately $1,100 to the effort last year, the Ute Stampede Committee donated $1,375, and the local chamber of commerce donated 10 percent of the costs. In addition, some area eating establishments issued discount certificates .to band members, and the Ute Stampede Committee allowed the bands and their parents to attend Friday nights rodeo for half price. Morgan said that bringing the bands into town was business.

Mona DUP seeks funds from town board Four members of the Mona camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers met with the Mona Town Board at its March meeting. Ina Kay, representing the group, requested that the board give financial assistance to the camp to help carry on some of its projects. If it is only a nickle, we would like it, said Mrs. Kay. A review of the DUP projects was made by Mrs. Kay. She informed the board that the lawn at the Mona DUP park has been poisoned so that a new lawn can be planted. An Orem Boy Scout troop has offered to trim the trees at the park, and to remove the dead grass and transport it all to the garbage dump as an Eagle Scout project. Robert Summer, a former Mona resident living in Orem, has offered to remove the broken glass in the small log cabin at the DUP park at no charge, and replace it with He also will replace the front door and board up a window at the back of the cabin. i March 20, 1991 1-- donated $500 for the project. Met with Blair Grimm and Lewis Fisher. Grimm is the owner of Blairs Bar, and asked permission to sell packaged liquor there. Grimm said he would donate profits from the sale to Nephi, Mona, and Levan to be used for charity, and wants the money to be placed in a trust fund for that purpose. The council established an account called the Nephi City Mayors Trust Fund, to which all donations made by Grimm will be deposited. The fund will be used by the city council for charitable purpose?. ShLT Li Serving East Juab County Met with Blair Sensibaugh of the U.S. Forest Service. Sensibaugh talked about future forest service projects. He said the south interchange will soon have signs directing people to the Nebo Loop Road. The ranger also said the government agency is working with Juab County to develop a plan for the use of Salt Creek Cannon. Mayor Bob Steele said the city will continue to work with the forest service and asked Sensibaugh to see if a sign directing travelers to the Nebo Loop Road also could be placed at the north L15 exit.

Should a water line be broken on the west side of the road, the east side would have to be dug up in order to control the water. Besides the main fiber-opti- c line to Nephi, lines will be in- stalled on every east and west street in town, Newton said. Members of the town board decided to approve U.S. Wests project request with certain restrictions. The company must agree to pay for the services of a supervisor of Monas choosing to monitor to help prevent water line breakage and the destruc- tion of irrigation ditches. The company also must repair any damage done so that the area worked on will be left as it was found. A second request by U.S. West to lower a line at about 1st West on 2nd North to about three feet also was approved. The council agreed that the timing and placement of all the construction must be coordinated with an eye to the best interest of the town. three polios, and two MMR vaccinations.
