Show TO THE EDITOR Fillmore Progress Deer Margo: The reason I'm slow In writing Is because I Just got the enclosed article I cut out of the paper copied. (See Front Page story on Millard Fillmore). A bit crazy, but worthwhile. I want to congratulate you for celebrating President Millard Fillmores 182nd birthday in The Progress. I cut it out and I also have the one from last year. It is interesting to note that his mother's maiden name was Millard! Being a genealogist these names always interest me. One night a few years back, the famous sculpAvard Fairbanks, tor, came to see me on a thing we were working on. While here he said he'd like to do something as a memorial for Millard Fillmore as he was interested in Fillmore and felt we needed to honor the President of course I felt the same. Then, in 1979, I saw the bust he had made of OUP Kate Cater, so I called him up and asked how much a Filbust of Millard lmore" would cost, as I thought it would be a great thing to put it in the Art Room upstairs in the old Statehouse (Museum). This would really honor him. Fairbanks thought so too, but it would cost $5,000 -- so he said. Fairbanks helped get the art for the upstairs. Mother was DUP President when they decided to make the art room and she contacted him up here. He brought a lot of art down; even picked the drapes for the windows and really went to bat (for so you can see why it) he is interested. Well, $5,000 is a lot of money, and I didn't feel like I could try to raise it. However, this is a state thing and the DUPs and etc. could get SUPs, but it would involved, take someone able to not a person handle it like me. I had to forget it, but I have been thinking that something should be done, as in years to come, the people will not even realize who the town and county was named after. As I looked at this picture (Progress Jan. 15 edition), I thought why not have a nice big picture of him made and framed and placed in the Art or the most Room, appropriate spot, with what should be said about him, with the picture. At least he would be honored. I don't know just who would be responsible for but doing this, Max Martin, perhaps Park Superintendent or maybe the DUPs would help. It really wouldn't cost a loti I Millard Filfeel lmore" was one of the few, at the time, friendly toward Brigham Young and the Mormon Pioneers and our town should feel honored to be named after him. Not many town are named after presidents. Something should be done to remind the generations coming Fillwhere the name came from. Of more course the Butt would be best, but the picture would be next best. I love Fillmore as I was born there and my ancestors helped settle it. I hope The Progrett keeps celebrating Millard Fillmore's birthday every year. Now, I'd like to say what a big surprise to see Day the old, to me Hotel demolished. I'm I glad it's done, for can remember when it was in Its heyday. The most interesting building on the street, Id see it daily. But I had not been to Fillmore since 1959 when the Dame's had their last reunion and Mother sold Dame's Ladies Store," which was torn down. And when I came through town the summer of 1980, when we dedicated the monument (in the North - - Park), and saw that hotel all boarded up. It made me sick. It was like a deed person. If it could not be It's better restored, demolished! But Im glad Mary got the plaque to I remember it with. enjoyed the history and pictures. Thanks a lot. About "Fillmore Frolics, I, too, have missed them! Wish we could get more. I look for more each time. (See front page article, we now have a Fillmore correspondent.) The Progress is great. You all do a very good job. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Della Dame Edmunds Della, Thank you very much for your kind words. Marge Susan B. Dutson Editor Millard County Progress P.O.Box 507 Fillmore, Utah 84631 Dear Ms. Dutson, After reading the article on the newly elected Fillmore City officials in your January 8, 1982 Progress, I decided to write to the mayor and councilmen Terry Scot-tor- n and Dallin S. Nielsen regarding my concern about the water project. They were all courteous to reply promptly. The two councilmen went beyond their reply by giving me detailed inforto help mation me where the project stood to date. I want to congratulate the voters of Fillmore for their outstanding selection of two fine council-me- n whom I'm sure will serve them well. They showed me through their letters that they are concerned about Fill more's problems and, more importantly, interested in helping and representing the citizens of Fillmore. My husband and I enjoy reading The Progress and the City particularly Council minutes when they are included. Sincerely, Lorraine Iverson 1730 Sanderson Ave. Colorado Springs, CO. understand Excerpts of the meeting the Fillmore City Council held January 20, 1982. Mr. Larry Denham of Burrows, Smith and Company presented a water rate study. The study outlined the proposed improvements to the water system indicating that Phase I will cost approximately $238,000. The amount of committed Board from funding of Water is Resources The study $225,000.00 income then showed statements for the water department for the past 5 years and the water usage for 1981. This information was then used to project future revenues and expenditures. It was the conclusion based that upon current number of connections and given the present rate schedule it is not necessary to raise rates at this time in order to finance the Phase I loan from the Board of Water Resources." The following persons were present for the water rate discussion: Howard Andrew, Ron Brunson, Dennis Trimble. Each of the above expressed the feeling that the city has no alternative but to upgrade the water system and should proceed to take advantage of the interest loan available free through the Board of Water Resources. After a discussion of the study motion by Councilman Baugh that the minimum water rate to residents outside city limits be increased from to $12.00 $6.00 per month; that the rate for water over 30,000 gallons per quarter be increased for all residential users on the system to 20 cents per 1,000 gallons; and that commercial users continue to pay the present rates. Motion seconded by Councilman Cox. Carried unanimously. A letter to be sent to all water users as required by the Board of Water Resources was reviewed. 1 This letter requests com ments.

Unhs for permanent occupancy, condominiums and lots, well, we dont know yet, Mr. Searle said. We do know that the IPA wont unfairly compete against private developers and we wont subsidize housing, he said. The price of housing, he said, will be maintained at the fair market value. We will attempt to make housing finance available in the community at large. We will give our employees the means to afford housing and if they buy through us or some other developer, its their decision, Mr. Searle said. Housing would be designed by us to have an economic advantage over local developers, Mr. Searle said. There will be a need for the private sector to built some 800 housing units, between now and 1986. We dont have contingency plans, so we will try to get private developers to do this. He said private developers should not have to finance and build the temporary housing units. A proposal on housing strategy and policy set for discussion by the board was tabled after the group was told the matter had been referred to the legal committee for study.
