The local engineering firm, Alpine Land Surveyors, will conduct the financial and feasibility report, OConnor said. Bonding will be arranged through the state municipality pool the council recently agreed to support. OConnor said the interest rate from the municipal pool would be around 7.25 percent which is better . than what the city could get from 'Farmers Home Administration. Plus, he said, Farmers Home has no money allocated for irrigation projects. The cost per property share was not determined at the meeting, but is expected to be a maximum of $600 or about two thirds of the amount Pleasant Creek residents paid because the system is smaller. The pond, which will hold about of water, will be eight acre-fee- t constructed on Allen Shelleys property on the south side of Twin Creek behind the new high school. It will be sufficient to hold all water shares in the project, he said. Farmers on ditches 8 and 9 voted to go into the pond with the city. In return, the city can use their trunk line. The trunk line will contribute about $23,000 to the project. The parties, located west of 500 West now have a sprinkler system in their fields out side the city, but water pressure is not sufficient to use all reisers. Under the new system, with water being sored in the pond, they can utilize all their risers, O'Connor said. Ditch 8 and 9 will remain dry and ditch 6 and 7 will remain open. It is estimated the project will take about five weeks to complete once construction begins. y "Hello" to Sandy and Pete, the new Carrot Patch Dolls who will represent basketball supremacy between North Sanpete and Manti High Say Schools next season.

Shearer said she was encouraged at the number of parties who expressed interest and noted potential operators were responding from both in state and out of state. The time extension was mainly due to time lags in the postal service Ms. which accounted for as much as a weeks delay in receiving proposals. Once proposals are received, they will be reviewed by a technical advisory committee made up of representatives from economic of department development, transportation, planning office and governors aide, Ruth Ann Storey. The advisory committee will forward proposals after their review to Ms. Shearers committee of about eight persons who will also review the proposals before sending them on to Governor Norman Bangerters office for approval. Ms. Shearers is comprised of committee representatives from local government, state legislative delegation and department of transportation. Although no proposals had been received by May 22, some are expected to include as many as 300 pages. After each committee member has had an opportunity to review proposals, a full committee will meet around June 4 to make their recommendations. An operator should be selected by June 17. The deadline for the states agreement with the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad is June 30. After that date, the state will have no firm agreement to purchase the branch purchase line. The state agreed to purchase the D&RGW branch line for $1.3 million after it was severly damaged by a massive landslide at Thistle in June 1983 and D&RGW filed to abandon it. The purchase price was determined by an administrative law judge during an appeal of the abandonment petition last year. Money was appropriated by the Utah Legislature earlier this year, and a committee formed to find someone to operate the line. If an operator-owne- r cannot be located, the state will not buy the railroad. NS music booster club meets tonight MT.

The music program at the high school shows the potential of growing in leaps and bounds but in order to prosper, the support of all parents with children in any level of music or anyone interested in music in the district is needed, she said. Booster club objectives include arousing and maintaining an enthusiastic interest in the various phases of the Music Department of North Sanpete High School, its support programs and its feeder schools programs. The club plans to lend all possible support, both moral and financial, to the general music program in the schools.

The group also wishes to build and maintain an organization to help promote the general activities of the music department. 4 |
