Ephraim City (Continued from Page 1) about a mile east of town and the Lake Hill area in Ephraim Canyon. Each location has its advantages and disadvantages, according to Timothy M. Jones, of Jones & DeMill, the engineers for the projects. For one thing, the installation cost at the lower elevation would be as much as $30,000 lower than at the Lake Hill area and the preliminary work has been completed. The Lake Hill installation would require a Forest Service permit and meeting other government requirements. It would also require some excavation and the hauling in of substantial amounts of rock. But a tank at Lake Hill, Mr. Jones said, would if properly managed, save the city somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000 annually in power costs. Some Council members expressed reservations about the Lake Hill location. What about accessibility during the winter months? What about the hazard of land slides? The decision is up to you," Mr. Jones told the Council. The Council agreed to meet with the Power Board for further consideration before reaching a decision on the tank location at its July 17 meeting. Manti City (Continued from Page 1) money needed for street improvements be raised through the property tax? Or can some other approach , be taken? There seems to be no doubt in anyones mind that the condition of Mantis streets is a civic problem. In recent years theyve been subjected to more than the usual wear and tear. Thats because of several construction programs that have involved the streets; the installation of the sewer, the installation of the pressurized irrigation system, the coming of natural gas. Manti City receives around $20,000 to $30,000 in Class C road money. Thats state money derived from the tax on gasoline. Mr. Mickelson pointed out that this kind of money doesnt go far in maintainingthe citys streets at an acceptable standard. The council is planning to hold public meetings in order to gain citizens input on the street , problem. Council members agree that they need help in deciding what action to take, if any.

And other feelers may be put out. There seems to be a feeling in town that we should do more about our streets than talk about them," Mr. Mickelson said. English classes starting this week The efforts to help people in Sanpete County learn to read and write in English is finally starting to pay off. A new English as a Second Language class is starting this week and there are 7 people from Ephraim alone signed up to take advantage of the free instruction. Literacy Volunteers of America, Sanpete County Director Jill Hansen said, It feels great ... but its a little The ESL classes are designed to help everyone with the English language, from the students who cant speak or read a single word to the student who just needs a little help. overwhelming It came on so quickly, because Monday we didnt have anyone signed up and then Tuesday we had 27", said Hansen. The classes will take place, on Tuesday and Thursday nights in the Ephraim Elementary School. The classes will last as long as it takes to bring everyone up to the level they are hoping to achieve, Hansen added, Everyone progresses at hisher own rate and we will continue the classes as long as we need to." With this many people, full advantage will have to be taken of the tutors who have been trained provide this type of fact Hansen said they help. In will have to start looking for more tutors with this kind of response. But this is a nice problem ... we love this type of response and we will find as to many tutors as the need dictates, said Hansen. Depending on ho w long this ESL course lasts, there will be another session getting underway sometime in late August or early September. also considering a change in the The council gave attention to other issues at last weeks meeting. .

A $100 deposit is now required of renters. The change would require a minimum of $100 and possibly as much as twice the highest two months historic use. Mr. Mickelson said that the proposed change would place more responsibility on the renter. Under the current policy, landlords and even the city have been getting stuck with utility bills.
