Show Sun Advocate imw A Friday, September E4, 19B2 Contractor ready to start work on Price complex An Idaho contractor hopes to start construction on Price Citys new public works complex by Oct. 1, according to architect Kenneth R. Millard. At Wednesday nights regular council meeting, city officials accepted steel-reinforc- states. In addition to the contract, council members tentatively agreed to spend $55,000 to acquire a performance bond. City Attorney Luke Pappas said the bond is necessary to insure that the project will be completed with the specifications agreed upon in the contract. The bonding company guarantees the work of the contractor, he explained. The council agreed to decide on the bond before noon Monday. Millard said the contract with Monolithic does not include the interior work to be completed once the domes are constructed. He said the contractor hopes to have the first dome constructed by Nov. 1. The entire project should be completed by next spring, he shape up.

Heard To update new council members, Councilman Grant Smith said Horace Grant had not developed the property because he ran y into problems with cash flow, and neighbors. Morley said he is completing arrangements with Grant to obtain the property. He said he wants to put homes on 13 lots in the subdivision and adjoin it to his own property. He said he wants the city to form a special improvement district to finance necessary improvements on U.S. 6 and 400 East, mainly extending a sewer down U.S. 6. Contingent upon approval of the improvements, Morley said he wants Wellington City to annex an additional 20 acres immediately north of the subdivision.

Kenilworth asks county for help By SCOTT LLOYD Staff Writer e KENILWORTH This exis sleepy, decaying community a and rebirth residents periencing have asked the Carbon County Commission to assist with the renaissance. A delegation from the community appeared before the commissioners Wednesday at their regular meeting to brief them on five committees which have been formed to grapple with problems, and to ask for help in securing a fire engine and building a park. Since the town is unincorporated, we are looking towards the county for some support in our efforts, they wrote in a formal letter to the commission. We believe that the county will eventually get more back from the town than is given. The five committees have been set up to secure a fire engine and department and a new park, to contain garbage and public nuisances and to - one-tim- a Kenilworth Days celebration next year. Charles H. Brown, Fire Department Committee chairman, said it takes 14 minutes for the Helper City Fire Department to respond to a fire in Kenilworth. He said the committee already has 13 volunteers who have agreed to serve on a fire department formed mainly to contain fires until the Helper department can arrive. He said the residents understand a fire truck, originally small, obtained for the Carbon County Airport, but not in use, is being stored at the county Industrial Center. If Kenilworth obtained the truck, it could possibly be housed in a currently abandoned cinder block structure owned by Price River Coal Co., he said. The firm has offered to lease it to the community for $1 a year for 50 years. Brown said it would need extensive remodeling, including a larger doorway, a new roof, electricity and organize 250-gall- heating. Another possible location, he said, is an addition which could be built on to the former LDS Church which is now used as a town hall and is heated year round by its owner, STEFFIE'S FIGURE SALON fKSL-T- V FAMILY NIGHT ALL TICKETS $4.00, $5.00 & $6.00 for 7:30 PM SHOW WED.

Lyons of the Garbage Control Committee said the residents are considering the land on which the old Independent Coal and Coke Recreational Hall was situated as a site for the park. She said the Kenilworth Water Co. would make $4,000 to $6,000 available. Mrs. Lyons said the utility company board next month will consider contracting with a firm for residential garbage pickup because the current community garbage bin is inadequate. As tentatively conceived by the residents, Kenilworth Day is set for the second week of September 1983 and would involve a parade on Main Street, games and presentations in the town hall, and an outdoor dinner and dance.
