The Judge also granted 20 days to School District attorney Luke Pappas after the petitions were filed to plea further on the complaint. The groups lawyer also dropped the names of some parents and students from the complaint and asked that an amended complaint which listed each parent as a general guardian be withdrawn. The Judge granted both motions. After hearing the report, the parents also discussed the recent controversy that flared up at Carbon high suspending a student because he wore a long wig.

The Supreme Court of Utah in the case Carbon Canal Co. vs. Sanpete Water Users ruled in favor of Carbon after it showed Sanpete had not worked on the project and no further extensions were granted. During this battle, it went to the District Court four or five times with local delegations appearing before the separate committees of the United States Senate and House of Representatives. Luke Pappas, Price City attorney said, Carbon officials see no reason to reopen the dispute, shortly after the county meeting. Sanpete has never lost their interest in securing construction of the project through public, interest-fremoney, said Helper city attorney Stan Litizzette. 'Carbon interests however believe that public money or grants should not be used for a controversial project such as this one and that there are many water projects on upon which this money should be spent, he added. e Truck kills infant in Sunday mishap HUNTINGTON - A 19 month old infant died Sunday after being crushed by a truck. Heather Jensen, daughter of Harvey and Marylou Jensen was pronounced dead on arrival at the Carbon Hospital after she was crushed while playing near her home in Anderson Trailer Court.

The two were part of a section crew working in the area and according to Denver and Rio Grande trainmaster Mike Kandaris both were new to the crew. According to an eyewitness, interviewed shortly after the mishap by the Sun Advocate, the smaller work train was moving backwards along the line with crew members tossing rails out. The witness said, the other train, a 43 car freight train, suddenly came around the bend. The men on the work train spotted the oncoming train and jumped to safety but the two victims, who were in the section trains caboose and tried to jump off the train when the other train collided with the rear of the caboose. A nurse who happened to be passing by, stopped and offered first aid to the victims. Only four of the 56 cars were derailed but work crews did not have the area cleared until midnight. television W It was like an old enemy rising to do battle once again when word was received that the Sanpete Water Conservancy District had asked Governor Calvin L. Rampton to support obtaining a loan to build the Gooseberry Project. The county officials hold the legal matter had been resolved in the Carbon County favor and there is no need to reopen the dispute. According to all area sources, Carbon county is not willing to meet on the proposal with representatives from Sanpete and the Utah Water Resources Board. Earlier it was reported, the two local representatives to the state legislature, Rep. Mike Dmitrich and Senator Omar Bunnell would try to set up a meeting between the areas water users, with the Governor, but later reports indicated all area parties had decided to let the proposal die down. Sanpete had asked for the governors support in obtaining the $600,000 interest free loan saying the Carbon county had hopefully changed their position. The districts officials had presented a report summarizing various old studies on the Gooseberry Project and a report, made on the situation over the years. Governor Rampton turned the loan request over to Daniel F. Lawrence, director of the Division of Water Resources. Parley Neeley, an engiheer for the Sanpete interests suggested a committee be selected from each side with a disinterested person as moderator to talk about the problem. A meeting was called, shortly after word of this request had been released, between Price River Water Improvement District, Price River Water Users Association, Carbon Conservancy Association legislative heads and the mayors from Price, Helper, Wellington and Castle Gate. The group reaffirmed the position that they are unalterably opposed to the appropriation of any state money for the project. The controversy started almost 50 years ago when a Sanpete official acquired an application of water rights from the Price River Basin. Sanpetes request was for water to be diverted from Gooseberry Creek in the Price River drainage for storage in a reservoir to be constructed in the so called "narrows site. A tunnel was to be constructed to carry the stored water from Scofield Reservoir to lands in the San Pitch River drainage for irrigation. The first motion on that proposal was filed September 11, 1924 by John L. Bench to divert 15,000 acre feet of water. It was rejected by the state engineer on May 18, 1925. the Small Business Administration will be in Carbon County during the coming week. Appointments may be scheduled through Brigham, Young, County Clerk. . lis work. , The speaker is Norman Vuksinick, Price City Police Officer. A veteran of seven years with the force, he usually patrols the citys streets and alleys on the night shift. Officer Vuksinick allowed this reporter to accompany him on a part of his shift last Friday to see the job performed by the small Price city police force. When he checked in at 8 p.m., fellow officers Orson Allred and Sgt. Bob Tilton were on duty and outside their offices located in the basement of the Carbon County courthouse, was their main problem for the evening the Friday night traffic. This job kept Officer Vuksinick busy for most of part of his shift, checking on groups of teenagers parked in the many lots along Prices Main Street. The first stop was to a west Main drive-iwhere teenagers had blocked the exit lanes as they sat back in their cars to talk or just watch the blur of lights moving from signal light to signal light. Throughout the evening, Officer Vuksinick would unblock two lots plus check on groups stopped at closed gas service stations and back alleys. The Price City Police force is presently under a severe man power shortage with two officers recovering from surgery. To meet this load, the officers are working overtime and extra shifts. At 9:20 p.m. the three officers blockaded a section of town for s special church service. While outside, directing traffic the officer discussed a burglary outbreak in the city after he first came on to the force. He said a 17 year old boy had kept the city in turmoil with between 20 to 23 burglaries. He explained the youth was a master in his trade, getting inside shops without breaking any glass. He was finally stopped when a bus agent reported to police a youth had purchased a ticket to Salt Lake using mostly small change, the morning after several vending machines were broken into at another shop. He was stopped in Salt Lake and returned to Price where juvenile officials placed him in the State Industrial School. He escaped from there shortly after his family left Price and was never seen again. "I bet hes causing trouble where ht n ever he is now, said the officer. Seven years ago, Norman Vuksinick was rounding out his 12th year as a route man for Dairy. One day while reading the Sun Advocate he noticed the city was looking for a new officer so he Hi-La- ap-plie- d. Later, the chief called him and said the job was his if he wanted it. After a few days of talking it over with his wife he went for the cut in pay and became a police officer. Since that time he has only pulled his gun once, and that was last year. He said he was on duty when a call came over the radio of a fight at a local lounge with a shotgun and knife involved. By the time he and Officer Allred pulled in the party with the knife had left. When they walked in the two faced a young man holding a shotgun. He demanded the police catch the other party, who he said had in- - timinated him, forcing him to get the gun. Officer Vuksinick then returned to his car and asked help in stopping the car. When he returned to the bar, he told the young man the others were being sought and again demanded the gun. This time the man jammed a shell in the chamber and pointed it at the officers. Norm slowly advanced with his pistal drawn on the man, while Officer Allred, a veteran of six years of service in Wyoming, made his way behind the suspect. Suddenly Norman grabbed the barrel of the shotgun while Orson pulled the young man down. Luckily there isnt that kind of color to his job often. Most of the time its checking property and doors. This endless routine has held down the number of burglaries to area businesses and helped cut down vandalism. OFFICER Vuksinick examines a parked car on a lot a block west ot Main Street for possible vandalism. He said a new car parked beside this vehicle, had its wheels hauled away In a prowl earlier in the week. |
