Duses flo Warn Traffic Hospital As Pupils Cross Road The current question concerning school buses and the responsibility to see that students get across street safely has apparently been resolved in Box Elder district with a three point instruction to drivers and substitute drivers.

Councilman Don Chase who heads parks and recreation, reported on cost finding to construct another nine holes at the municipal golf course. He said, however, the $90,000 figure probably could be reduced to about $61,000 by using city workers and equipment and by cutting out some of the construction items. The cost study was called nearly three weeks ago after the Brigham City Golf club proposed expansion of the course. The clubs proposal into cluded a recommendation help pay the project cost by increasing green fees and also r offered a $20,000 loan two-yea- to the city.
