Jl ' 1 V h p I ) Including Orem, tL SET FOR COUNTY LandOplionsTalrcn Negotiations have been all but concluded for the sale of the new Vineyard chapel to the United States Defense Plant corporation. It is understood the Vineyard ward has submitted alternative propositions to the United States. The details of the proposals have not been revealed, but it is reported that they are based on a replacement of the present building and grounds. Negotiations between William J. Hickey, Defense riant corporation representative, and Vineyard farmers also continued over the week-enPractically all of the options farmers have signed which must be exercised by the United States by March 15. If not exercised at that time, of course. It will mean that either the plant will not be built there or the options will have to be renewed. Farmers, U. 8. Satisfied Most of the farmers, it appears from statements heard around the county buildings where the conferences have been taking place are fairly well satisfied with the offers which have been made them. Altogether, it appears that both the representatives of the United States and tbe' farmers have been vary fair and moderate in their negotiations and the conclusions reached. Mr. Hickey received a telegram diiecting him to proceed to Los Angeles last Monday, ao that all farmers who had not signed at that time were notified to contact him before he left if they desired o sell. A few out of state land owners had not been signed at that time, but it is anticipated no special difficulty will he encountered In securing their signatures to the contracts.
