The session, scheduled to start Ut 7:30 p.m. in the city court room, promises some lively debate over merits of the city plan. Councilman Olof Zundel, head of the city streets department, reported last week that there was organized opposition. Petitions have been circulated in both sections of the city and chances for survival of the district proposal now seem somewhat in question. ifTfnjiil i 10 PAGES Storage in Mantua Reservoir Gives Promise of Good Supply Brigham City is riding the crest of a plentiful water supply in a year when many other Utah communities are facing a critically dry summer. The chief reason is the citys newly completed reservoir in Mantua valley. Mayor Ruel M. Eskelsen said Monday that there are now 3,500 acre feet of water inundating the valley floor. This, combined with another 1,030 acre feet from Pine View reservoir, is expected to send culinary users and irrigators alike sailing through what otherwise might have been a woefully dry period. Eskelsen said the city now has enough storage water 4,455 total from Mantua and Pine View to trade local irrigators for seven second feet of culinary water and still have a surplus of 2,310 acre feet. This is figured over 165 days, length of the average irrigation season. The mayor said the surplus water would be available to irrigators to offset their smaller por- tions from Pine View this year. dish-shape- d .
