Solar Eclipse In order to view first hand the solar Mr. Christopher was referring to an last year owners of the east portion of Farms Subdivision quickly the possibility of bringing 800 W. on through to 4400 S. by taking out a building permit for a home on the frontage lot in line with 800 W. The city could not deny the permit due to the fact that 800 W. Street in that area was no longer on the master road plan. The developers called the Councils attention to the fact that a roadway across Calls property would not leave room for adequate building lots. There is presently no road through from 4350 S. between 700 W and 900 W. It is not for the best interests of the community to not have one road through in all that distance, Christopher said. Mayor Leon Poulsen twice expressed the hope that Ira Anderson and John DAgnillo who plan, sometime in the near future, to develop their properties adjacent to the east of the proposed subdivision could get together with Mr. Call to work out a feasable solution. Mr. DAgnillo has previously talked of giving land to the city in order to create a road through his property which would be called 750 W'. incident when, the the TUrf thwarted Strong objections came from building planned further north materializes and a 750 W. would not help the problem. Ira Anderson said that he agreed with Councilman Christopher that there should be a roadway through someplace around that point. air. As per a memo submitted to the administration, science coordinator James West said that this will be the last total solar eclipse until the year 2022. Students, in order to view the eclipse totally, will be flown to Helena, Montana. Because this will be in February when the probability of a storm front in the totality region of the eclipse is 70 - 75 per cent, Mr. West recommended to the board that an airplane be used instead of ground transportation. Gil Moore, general manager of Thiokol Astro Met Division has We initiated the program through the State Science Teacher Organization He has chartered four planes which would fly from Salt Lake City early on the morning of Feb 26, and circle in an s pattern over Helena for two minutes and 31 seconds. The students would then return to Salt Lake later that same day. This plan will cost approximately $80 Another alternative, which will cost $200, would also fly the same pattern, but then would continue to Seattle, Wash, and land Then, students could tour the Boeing Aircraft facility, returning to Salt Lake the same evening These alternatives will be studied and a decision by the administration as to which is most feasible for the students.
