Edgemount Housing in 64 Tooele City Council, in a five-hosession, Tuesday evening, set the closing date of Edgemount Housing as of 30 June 1964. Other items of business considered were the drilling of another well, the buying of trucks for the city, of the commercial district, and the terms of a new franchise for the population of 96,000.

She reports that the church is growing steadily and that the number of baptisms is increasing as a great many men and women of influence are coming into the The Country of Sweden is second only to America in social, economic and modern in every reSwedish buildings, industry and transportation are unexcelled in Europe. They are a happy and industrious people, and are free of foreign entanglements and have not been in war for more than a hundred years. Miss Pehrson reported before returning home she visited her fathers counsins in Stockholm and Trolhattan, Sweden, where she was received in a royal manner. She also spent one day in Oslo, Norway, visiting her brother, Eric who is serving an LDS mission there. She reports that he is in good health and enjoying his work and he sends greetings to all his Telephone Company. COUNCIL MEMBERS were In agreement that Edgemount Hous ing, even though it brought in approximately $46,000 per year to the city coffers, should be closed within a two and one-hayear period. The Council felt that the extend ed period would allow sufficient private housing to become available to the Edgemount residents. Methods for bringing in revenue to supplement the Edgemount rents were discussed. The Utah State Legislature allows one-hacent sales tax to be levied by individual towns and cities. It a tax estimated that such would bring in $48,000 per year. CITY MANAGER, Sidney Noble was asked by the Council to initiate correspondence to Tooele County commissioners requesting that the towns and cities in the county be allowed to implement the additional one-hacent sales Representatives from J. S. Lee Company, the drillers of the new est city well, stated that the well is substantially completed. Surg ing and pumping operations are finished, and all that remains to be done is the pouring of gravel and concrete down around the outside of the well casing. AN OFFER WAS MADE to reduce the cost of drilling a new well by $1 per foot, as equipment was already available near the site. However, the Council agreed this matter should be deferred until finances and all pumping information were available. The City Manager noted that complete approval of the well had not yet been granted. Unaminous Council action approved the buying of another dump truck and two pick-up- s for the city. In addition, both police cars will be traded in tax. for 1962 models. The City Mana ger was authorized to accept bids for the new vehicles.

The local Buff team is an over favorite to capture whelming their eighth straight championship but a great deal of interest is being generated in most of the individual events, and a real tight battle for second place is promised. This meet annually draws a huge crowd, so early arrival at the event should assure a good seat, meet officials noted. The oldest record on the books goes out the window here, as Box Elders Keith Melton and Tooeles Craig Lohnes scrap it out in one of the feature events of the day. If Lohnes can completely shake the effects of a cold he has been plagued with, he could win, but he'll have to be in top flight shape cause Melton has to be classed as one of the best freestylers in Utah.

He said the County and Department of Fish and Game had already pledged their support of the dam project. MR. DUNIV mentioned that approximately $140,000 of the scheduled $950,000 U.S. Loan is granted to aid in construction by the Federal Fish and Game Department which estimated $7,000 annual recreation value from the dam.
