Alpine Coun cil Refuses Terms of EasementRight By LORAINE HEALEY ALPINE — The Alpine City Council met with two local men, Lamar Moyle and Wayne McDaniel, to discuss the possibility of signing easements to allow the city to construct the main water lines, included in the new water systema, through their property. MayorBill Devey pointed out that there are several property owners who are involved with the area where the water line will go. He said that most of the owners had given the easement requests to the city with no concessions made by the city. The mayor told Mr. Moyle and Mr. McDaniel that the city would be able to give them each the free right for one hook up to the city line for an easement. Mr. Moyle said he could only make one agreement, to have two free hook ups to the city water line andto be ableto lease a piece of property now owned by the city, referred to as the Lambert property for fifty years. He would pay the city $70.00 a year for the lease and the city would be able to sell the property at any time, but upon any sale they would agree to reimburse him for any improvements made on the property. Mr. McDaniel said for an easement agreement with him the city would have to give him two free hook ups to the city water line. As the council discussed the two proposals they decided that the city could not grant the demands to the two gentlemen and that the city would continue arrangements to route the water line another way. Discussions were held on business concerning the sidewalk improvements completed last year and also advertising for the sale of bonds for the water improvements to be constructed during the coming months, As each councilman gavehis department report, Councilman Kent Hansenpointed out that in many areas around the outside of town people are continuing to dump their garbage along the roads. Mayor Devey said that very few people had picked up their Tefuge permits giving them permission to dump free at the county site and that all city councilman and himself had them on hand for anyoneto pick up. Councilman James Holley said that the contract with the city and the garbagecollection company would expire the last of october and that the company Theevent is sponsored by the Utah State Board of Education, the Exemplary Center for Reading Instruction, the Utah Council of the International Reading Assn., the Utah Education Assn., the Council for Exceptional Children and the Utah Assn. for Retarded Children. Three nationally known authorities in reading will speak to concurrentsessionsin the Salt Palace beginning at 9 a.m. Dr. Theodore Clymer, professor of elementary education and educational psychology at University of Minnesota,will discuss ‘Whatis a Good Reading Program?” Dr. Joe M.

According to Mr. McAffee, one third of the drop came from Rock Canyon School, and was totally unexpected The report that was done in 1966, when Provo had only nine elementary schools, before the addition of Edgemont School, said that by 1975-76, the district would need two new elementary schools to handle 5336 children if the class size were to be kept at an average of 30 students. That was based on the then calculated rate of growth as projected in the future. Fairly Steady The projection has held fairly well, being only a few students off each year. But this year, Mr. McAffee said, the drop was unexpected, But it was welcome to schoolofficials, who hope this will be the start of a trend toward a decreased rate of growth, allowing the schools more time before having to construct an additional schoo!, The relative increase or decrease in enrollment fluc- If enrollment doesn’t stay below the projection, however, a decision wil! have to be made. Will the district construct another elementary school new high school, desperately needed for secondary education plans, will not help the elementarysituation, he added. School Superintendent Sherman Wing said that the decrease seemed to be state and nationwide, with other schools reporting a small drop in elementary enrollment. Growth within the district is primarily centered in the west and northeastern parts of Provo, withthe Provost School being an exception. The southern districts, Franklin, Joaquin and Maeser, have shown decreased enroliments, and central areas such as Wasatch and Timpanogos seemto remain about constant, said Mr. McAffee.

Inventors’ Seminer Set Start UTC Construction State Sen. Ernest H. Dean, DAmerican Fork, has written the following letter to Gov. Calvin L. Rampton, requesting immediate consideration of new facilities fro Utah Technical College at Provo. Sen, Dean cites the increased enrollment of Utah Technical College by more than 40 percent this quarter as one of the school's immediate pressing problems, Theletter follows: “Dear Governor Rampton: Tam writing you regarding the status of Utah Technical College at Provo and its anticipated building program on its new campus in Orem, Utah. Prefacing my remarks, I know that an agreement was reached between you and President W. W.Sorensen regardingthe delay of anyconstruction program on the new site until 1973. Because of a multiplicity of factors which I ask you to investigate with me, I now ask you to release all parties to this agreement. Someofthe reasons I propose for this action are: 1, There is presently an increase of over 40 percentin the school’s student body over its previous highest peak quarter, and registration would indicate that the school may have as An Inventors’ Seminar will be conducted Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 3p.m. in the U.S. Departmentof Commerce Office, Room 1203 Federal Building, 125 S.

Those interested are adequate to accommodate those invited to telephone 524-5116 so _intending to participate. the numberof students in any previous quarter. This will undoubtedly cause many problems in several of the inStructional areas. The college does not have the capacity to handle the increased number of students in manyinstructional areas. 2, The demands and the interest of making our present facility a Skill Center, thereby transferring the college program to the new campus, is mounting, and again, I would ask that you explore this in greater depth with me. I cannot impress upon you enough the necessity of moving forwardinto a building program on the new campus, and I hope you will join me in pursuing this programvigorously You will note that i am sending copies of this letter to Commissioner G. Homer Durham, Superintendent Walter D. Talbot, Dr. Jay J. Campbell Deputy Superintendent, and President Wilson W. Sorensen. In addition, I have released copies of this letter to the news media.
