C Hear Senator Smoot: I am writing you this letter in refd erence to the arsenal which is in the north end of our county. : A I am interested in the people who lire in the vicinity of the arsenal and I I Am also a heavy stockholder in, and of, the Davis & Weber V'eber Counties Canal company, ' vYose canal runs along the side hill C'rth of the arsenal and that at the I am solicitous as to j present-momet safety of both the residents and tie canal itself. I am wondering if ' could give me any information as yn to1 the hazards of the arsenal as it is rrw and as it may be if the rumored ;eJargement plan is executed by our : ! situ-'tie- mayor Miid, is to determine whether all groups which have need of both culinary and irrigation water can get together on a comprehensive project to develop water sufficient for the needs of all, looking toward economic development of great water supply. Mayor Bowman accepted the commissioners invitation to participate in lie desuch a preliminary meeting, clared that if convinced that u more feasible program than that which has been tentatively decided upon may be devise.! for the good of the city, ho is willing to modify his present plans. The mayor declared he will go into the meeting with an open mind. The mayor emphasized the point that the meeting will In held early. It will be held positively this week, contingent upon the return of Mr. Wallace from u short trip out of the city. The cities of Ogden, Provo, Tooele and Salt Lake City have been invited to meet in Salt Lake City by the Utah Water Storage commission and con- explain- 31,-00- ed and discussing the lack of accommodations as now exists, and anticipating the needs of the immediate future, it was unanimously resolved to get squarely behind the board of education in its efforts to secure funds for the proposed improvements. It is planned to hold a special election, at which time the voters of the county will be asked to authorize a loan sufficient to put over the program. It was pointed out that an eight mill tax on the assessed property in the county would raise the amount asked for, and it is proposed to extend the tax collection over a period of four years. By this method the tax collected would be two mills on the dollar for each of the four years. In dollars, this will mean two dollars per year on each one thousand dollars worth of assessable property for each of the four years. The committees expressed themselves by saying they wanted better school facilities in Davis county, and pledged themselves to work for that end. The special election will be held in various parts of the county on Saturday, April 28. Polls will be open from seven oclock in the morning until seven o'clock in the evening. et NUMBER 19 THURSDAY, ABRIL IS. 1928. Valley.
