Utah bat Lake 07 'I, Election Tuesday Will Decide If City Should Issue $650,000 In Bonds A special bond election will be held Tuesday, September 22, to decide if Payson should bond for $650,000 to construct a sewer disposal plant and to enlarge the sewer system to bring sewer disposal service to all sections of the city. The east part of Payson on the other side of the Prteet-- j neet hill do not have sewer service available to them. Un-- i der the proposed plan, a sewer line will run near Ninth East and will make sewer lines available to all homes within the city limits. The present plant, an tank, is inadequate to handle Paysons sewage and a new plant is now proposed to be constructed northwest of' the present location. All qualified voters of the city who paid property taxes last year will be eligible to vole in Tuesday's election. The election will be held in the new Payson City Fire Im-ho- ff Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The election will decide two questions to provide $650,000 or less in general obligation and revenue bonds for the new sewage disposal plant and extension of lines to the east part of the city. Two questions will appear on the official ballot handed the voter at the polls. Ques- - ; lion No. 1 is whether the city . Station. may issue $325,000 or leas in general obligation bonds. Question No. 2 is whether the city may issue $325,000 or lera in sewer and water revenue bonds. Both bond issues would be repayable in 35 years or less at an interest rate not to exceed six per cent per year, compounded. The total cost of the project can be reduced by approxi- - mately $140,000 by a federal grant which has already been provisionally approved by the State Water Pollution Board. A Citizen's Committee for the Sewer Treatment Plant and Extension lines are encouraging the voters of to vote in favor of the bond election Tuesday.

The stake office building is owned by Nebo Stake, while the property is owned by the Third Ward, according to Reed He Money, stake president. has authorized LaMar Taylor and the Elders Quorum of the Third ward to tear the building down. Funds will be used for a quorum project. The old building was constructed sometime between 1901, when the late Jonathan S. Page was sustained stake president, and 1906, date of construction of Nebo Stake tabernacle. Hyrum Lemmon of Payson and Henry Gardner of Spanish Fork, were counselors to Mr. Page, with Samuel D. Moore as stake clerk. Until Jan. 13, 1901, all Of Utah County was known as Utah Stake. At that time in 1901 a division was made and three stakes were organized, known as Utah Stake, Alpine Stake and Nebo Stake. Nebo Stake then was composed of a large area including Spanish Fork, Lake Shore, Santa-qui- n and surrounding areas. Removal of the building takes old timers back in memory to the appearance of the area many years ago. In pioneer days the tithing office, a large barn and granaries were located where the Third Ward church now stands. Commodities were usually paid in lieu of cash tithings. A new tithing office was later built near the sidewalks of the comer lot. The one room building was of brick construction similar to the stake office building now being dismantled. The entire area was enclosed with a low picket fence and grass was planted within the lot On occasions social events of the church were held here, and electric lights were strung across the lawn for evening socials. In pioneer days Indians $3,488,292.44. The revenues were $41,682.- -' 20 lower than had been esti- mated in the annual budget due to a reduction in the Utah State Uniform School Fund allotment. The initial allocation of funds was $1,492,468.-3- 0 to be apportioned to the school district over the period of the fiscal year. Of this amount, the district had receiv-e- d $1,339,933.76 by June 30, s iW attracted the Indians to this place, and was also valuable in watering stock brought to the tithing center.

Hall, Elsie Eckersley, Genevieve Gardner, Gladys Wilson and Myitis Jacobs. The committee, the mayor and city council are encouraging favorable consideration of the bond issue for the following nine reasons: 1. Present treatment plant is inadeguate, ineffective and unsanitary. 2. The State Water Polution Board has been aware of our situation and has informed the mayor and city council of the necessity to correct the present condition. 3. There are in Utah certain federal funds available to assist communities in building disposal plants. Our chance of obtaining these funds now are better than they will be if delayed. This would amount to approximately 30(4 of cst of plant, reducing amount of bonds needed. 4. The city has obtained an option on a site north west of the present treatment plant for the building of the new facility where the effluent will be run into Spring Creek. 5. Payson has shown a steady population increase and stands to grow more rapidly when the new freeway is installed. 6. Contemplated new facilities will provide for about double the present population. 7. We claim that Payson is a modern city, yet one fourth of the city is not served by the present sewer. The new proposal will provide facilities for the eastern part of the city plus homes on the fringe areas. 8. We should vote this bond issue because Payson is the last city bordering Utah Lake that does not have a modern treatment plant for sewage. 9. Pride in a greater and more healthful Utah County and Payson Community urges us to say yes in Tuesdays election.
