Five-year-o- ld apThe council unanimously proved a motion by Councilman Don Chase that' a sewer line be extended to the area immediately east of Eighth West, between Fourth and Seventh South streets. The action was prompted by increased home building in that section f the city including a housing development under construction by Contractor Henry Crossman. City Engineer Francis Todd explained that Brigham City did not have a policy regulating the type of curb and gutter that could be installed. After discussion of the problem, the council voted to adopt a standard requiring Class B type curb and gutter. This is the most prevel-en- t type in use and would eliminate future installation of the other systems including the low, sloping type.

The council voted to release $500 to Gerald Larkin, a sum he had posted to insure installation of curb and gutter for residences constructed by him in the northeast part of town. Under government specifications, a builder must include curb and gutter before the dwelling can be ap proved. The council felt under the circumstances, that it should permit Larkin to withdraw the money.
