As if the Brigham City qouncil doesnt have enough problems a new one cropped' yp Monday night when drillers of what was intended to be a, new water well Jit jhe golf course struck natural gas at 187 feet. Two water producing levels had been passed prior to the strike and a third was being sought which might produce more water at a greater. depth." To continue drilling might endanger contamination of the upper water levels by seepage of the gas around the big well casing without finding a greater flow. JVhat to do? Jm glad I dont have to make the decisions. , 16-in- And another problem, among, many, is how to finance heeded street improvement wop k within the city limits. Before Brigham. City started having acute growing pains, this was done with B nd C road . funds without cost to the abutting property owners'. While these funds Were always inadequate, for the job, they served to make the most needed repairs. , "Jloweyer, this fixation has changed. No linger, yill these funds spread over the grQwjng nee,d. With the opening of new Streets, the program is stymied because fif lack of funds. - Tins year for- example, ttye city has $16,000 in the street improvement kitty and that won't even make a start. - , It all boils down to this. No longer is the city ' going to be able to finance completely th installation of paving. Its going to have to be a joint project between the city ' and butting property owners. . . 1 Some say this is unfair, that others have had thejr streets installed cost-fre- e so all should have this advantage.1 Thats well and good but if the money isnt available, it I Estimates place this cost at approximatea thousand dollars a lot and its all added to the selling price of the homes built, so in the end, the purchaser pays the entire bill. ly So, it isnt unreasonable to expect property owners outside these subdivisions to participate in the cost of such improvements.' It wilj stretch city funds to take care of just the intersections involved where there are nO abutting property owners. That is the program coming up for di.v cussion Thursday night at the courthouse when property owners in the northeast section of town will meet to hear about a pro: posed improvement district. This particular project is further complicated by a proposal to put irrigation water under pressure to serve the residents through underground mains rather that) hazardous openditches which take a toll of toddlers every year. It well could be the start of a systeip that could be expanded to serve everyone p.nd conserve culinary water now used to irrigate lawns and ' gardens at greatly reduced costs. Ive never taken the time to figure up how piuch water is used on my lawn but I estimate the cost to be between $15(1 to $200 ' Friday Night illness, lie was born Oct. 18, 1873, in Brigham City, a son of David and .Laura Burbank Morgan Rees.

Real Hot News Item: Fire Goes to Fireman When a fireman goes to a fire, thats news. But when a fire goes to a fireman, thats even bigger news. Early one morning last week, 2:15 a. m. to be exact, Gordon Reees, 106 North Fourth West, captain with the local volunteer fire department, was awakened by someone pounding on the front door. An abrupt disturbance at that time of morning was shocking. . But Reeves was even more shocked when he opened the door and saw his pickup truck on fire. Of course, quick action saved the day. Putting bus past experience to work, the then fireman subdued the flames with a thorough dousing of water from the garden hose. Pamage: the upholstery of one pickup truck.
