The city council- reinstated its previously used penalty upon hearing that many people are behind on their utilities, causing the city to be owed $50,000 in unpaid bills, and on learning that the state fias relaxed its laws governing this type of delinquency. The council agreed that it needed to be done, but none wanted his name on the record as having officially proposed it, knowing the cruelty of punishing those who already find it difficult to pay.

Noted Utah choir slates Spring City performance SPRING CIT- Y- On Friday, April 23 at 8 p.m. the University of Utah Chamber Choir will again perform in the Spring City Ward Chapel. They requested the use of this chapel over other auditoriums in the county because of its excellent acoustics. There is no charge for the performance which is open to the public. Dr. Bernell Hales, who directs the choir, first became acquainted with the building when he and another music professor stopped to visit with Vicky Collard of Fairview, a firend and former student. Mrs. Collard said they expressed a desire to see the building so she made arrangements and when they entered the building they started singing. They were so excited about the acoustics that Dr. Hales asked if he could bring the choir down to perform. They have since given several performances in the building. The choir consists of 20 students, mostly senior and graduate students, who will sing a wide variety of music without the aid of a conductor. They have, in past years, performed throughout the west in such places as San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Mexico. Dr. Hales has been with the University of Utah since 1965. Prior to joining the Us music staff he was Supervisor of Music for Granite School District. He received his advanced degrees from Teachers College at Columbia and the University of Oregon. Dr. Hales choir is well trained and his selection of music appeals to a wide variety of musical tastes, according to Mrs. Collard. Their abilities, combined withe acoustics of the Spring City chapel, provide for a thrilling evening of music, she said. Prior to the performance, members of the choir will be served dinner prepared by Bishop Lowell Hansen and his wife, Etha; Robert and Ruth Graham; Melvin and Gail Salmon; Lloyd and Lorraine Keyes; John and Karen Thomas; and Frank and Mildred Peterson.
