The water and power development pro- gram has been hashed over a multitude of times, at organized meetings, during informal gab sessions and over the proverbial backyard fence. Its an important matter and deserves the strictest consideration of local residents. Up to now attention has been focused primarily on various facts of the program, how they fit together and how the city intends to finance such an undertaking. The chapter in this series has been reserved to discuss features which will not add to the development cost but which could next-to-fin- al thickly-populate- 560-ac- re tion of resort facilities and summer homes in Mantua. These factors add up to recreation-plus for the quiet country community. Where industry is concerned, the ample supply of water stored in Mantua reservoir would be an enticing factor in deciding on this area for locating facilities. Heretofore, this water, pouring from springs and watershed, has run wasted into the Great Salt Lake except for that part used to water crops during the irrigation season. By capturing this water and guaranteeing its availability for lease, Brigham City will become considerably more appealing as a potential site for industry. And new industry is a springboard for any communitys economy. Indeed, these promise a d handsome return to go with other benefits of the $2,500,000 water and power development program.
