Show Messenger-Enterpris- Ephraim City Council Report BY BARRY Concern BAKER Expressed By Widows Daughter Mrs. Chon Kandaris ofPrice, appeared before the Ephraim City Council to ask for Utah special consideration in correcting past due charges to her mother, Mrs. Virginia Williams of Ephraim. The problem arose from charges to special-improveme- district residents of 300 South, between 1st and 2nd East, a project approved by former city counsel members. The city records show that minimal payments have been made over the years. The concern expressed by Mrs. Kandaris was that, ...all of the residents of this block project opposed it, and yet it was carried out to its completion." The council consensus was that this practice is surely contrary to the practices of any administration of city government they know of; but they will search the records, conducting interviews, etc., and be prepared to make a decision in the August 5, 1992 meeting. Mrs. Kandaris was advised to produce documents to sustain her position.

Accidents and emergen- cies last weekend put their skills to a severe test, and I am pleased to report that they performed with flawless precision. I offer my congratulations for the professional quality of work that was done and sincere thanks for the compassionate and selfless service that was given. Many people are, or have involved been the with Ambulance Association, and each deserves our highest respect and praise. At this time I feel it would be remiss not to mention the service provided by members of the Orval Johnson family over the years. I hope that other individuals and families in our community will sacrifice to be trained and the provide emergency services that we have come to depend on so much. Robert D. Armstrong, M.D. Skorping mayor's letter This is the text of a letter written by Skorping Mayor Inger Peterson, following the visit to Skorping by sister city Ephraims group recently. Tonight we are gathered to say goodbye to each other. The days run much too fast, and I think that we have only just learned to know each other and then already goodbye.

Council representative Elaine Reid expressed concerns of the cemetery committee that they felt the rumors that this property will be secretly sold; therefore, disallowing future cemetery expansion in that direction.

F rom I limmerland, the area in which we are part, there was an emigration to America on 20 to 30 percent of the working population. Himmerland was a poor area in the late 1800s and many were not able to see any possibil ities for them in the future in the old country. They broke up, and the far most ofthem went to America, and as I understand, they settled in exactly your area. We really hope that things went well for them, and they were satisfied with their new life. The theme for this years celebration is our mutual roots", and you have shown us in practice what this is all about, by coming back to see the old country and to celebrate the Fourth of July together with many Danes and Americans in Rebild Hills. Even though Ephraim is far away, our vice mayor Mr. Vagn Gaarde has had the opportunity to visit you, and now you have visited us. Thatisjust wonderful. Mayor Warnick told Mr. and Mrs. McKay Andreasen, interested restoration citizens, that the Ephraim Square Board will make a decision about the future of the old frame building just West of Snow Chateau (former Ephraim Hotel) in their next meeting.
