M. Reeder, representing the S. U. P. According to Mr. Reeder the commissioners said it was impossible to provide any funds at the present, but as soon as it is apparent that many people will use the building, it may be possible. Over 11,000 cars visited the park in 1948, and we feel that such a building would be well justified, Reeder stated. It is the desire of the S. U. P. of having the building erected similar in design to the old fort building of which there is a miniature on display in the county courthouse, A public meeting is being called at the church house at Bear River City at 2 oclock in the afternoon, Sunday, August 14, to discuss the Box Elder centennial, Mr. Reeder stated. Mayors and town boards in Box Elder county are asked to send one or more representatives to the meeting. Civic clubs and service groups, church organizations and the farm bureau are invited to attend.
