Show " - V- - 'J.A.l Residents urged to conserve water At the present time Roosevelt city officials state that the city is using the maximum amount of water that is available through the main line. The warm, dry weather has prompted heavy use of the supply, taxing the system to the limit. The city council, in order to help conserve the supply available, is asking city residents to sprinkle lawns only between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. The night watering will help improve the utilization of the water supply. The council also asks that all leaky taps be repaired, and perhaps use less water on lawns and yards. Horticulturists have indicated that one inch of water per week is all a lawn needs. An open mouth container can be placed on the area being sprinkled to determine the amount being applied. Work is continuing on the creation of additional water for the city. The people of Roosevelt will be asked to support a bond election for $465,000," according to Calvin Kowallis, city councilman over the water department. "The bond election will probably be held in July, and it will allow us to match a government grant, providing enough money to bring extra water from the Cover area northwest of the city, and also permit us to construct a new one million gallon storage tank." If the warm dry weather continues, Dr. Kowallis concludes, we may find our supply running short of needs unless every resident of the city works to conserve the supply this year. -- SlJl Correction In the published list of honor students at Roosevelt junior high school last week, the names of two were inadvertently omitted.

Ashby A retired person is someone who knows why they call it the golden years. Everything costs money! In the middle of a week when both Monday and Tuesday fall on Tuesday for the production of the newspaper, It is hard to come up with an article of profound thought. As a matter of fact, it is hard to find time to even come up with an article. Consequently, we will propound only a couple of thoughts which might stimulate your interest First we were impressed by the ceremonies that marked the completion of schooling for high school students, and also for those leaving the ninth grade. We've talked to several people who attended different rites, and they all seemed to agree that the thinking and participation that was displayed by this year's graduating crop was outstanding. Without taking anything away from prior groups, we feel that this year's youth are meeting the challenge better than ever before. Amid national and ind ternational unrest, and with deteriation of family, religious and moral ideals on the part of some, there seemed to be a great awareness of personal dedication among the graduates. That would preclude any copping o't on their part We feel that they win meet the challenge. mayor Les Wallace offers his best wishes to Dale Workman who will become mayor June 1st.

They will begin again on July 29, and run through the balance of the summer. . If the student response is sufficient, two summer out of town engagements have been made, with the possibility of others.

Included in the summer program will be a beginning band, advanced band, twirler instruction, as well as free private the or group instruction through summer. The summer band program is open to all students who were in the junior high this past year, and to any students of the 6th grade who will qualify for the band.

Bacon park. Although it isn't much yet, it has great possibilities, and planners are enthusiastic about its development. The park is just across the road south of the Elkhorn guard station, and consists of 40 acres of pasture, with groves of trees and stream. It will eventualy include camping facilities, group outing areas, picnic, game, campfire and recreation areas. The project is being supervised by a committee appointed by Roosevelt Stake. Funds for the park were furnished by the James E. Bacon estate. Mr. Bacon had spent many years in scouting and related activities, and one of his dreams was for a park that sou Id handle outings of .varied nature. His estate is providing this park, and hence its name. We feel the park will be a great addition to the area. 4 ert White River Corp. considers use of Paraho method White River Oil Shale Corp. sees the Paraho Oil Shale process as the most probable of the technological methods available for development of its 5120 acre federal oil shale lease tract in Uintah County, Utah. Paraho Development Corp. a consortium of 17 companies, is presently testing the method at the federally owned Anvil Points facility near Rifle, Colo. The 30 month experimental program is slated for completion by February of 1976. While detailed design for a commercial plant will likely be initialed prior to its conclusion, preliminary engineering evaluations conducted by the White River group indicate that the Paraho method has environmental, operating and economic advantages. The concern's high bid offer of $45.1 million has been accepted by the Department of the Interior, and a preliminary development plan has been submitted. Plans call for exploratory and environmental evaluations to commence this year and continue through 1976. Construction of the $300 million, 50,000 bbls per day refinery could begin in 1977 with the plant in operation by 1980. While River Oil Shale Corp is equally owned by Sohio Petroleum, Phillips Petroleum and Sun Oil The room and pillar method of mining is to be employed. The accident happened at about 3:50 Wednesday afternoon, as the Brundage youth was driving a pickup truck on a county road north of the Bluebell store. He was accompanied by a passenger, Allen Parry. Going north, the youth passed another northbound vehicle, but was unable to bring the truck under control on the narrow roadway. The truck left the road and rolled, coming to rest on the top. The passenger was thrown from the vehicle, but the driver was pinned as the cab was smashed down nearly level with the bed. The Parry boy was taken to the Duchesne county hospital where he was treated for cuts and abrasions. Because of the position of the truck, it was necessary for officers to summon help in turning the truck upright, and then prying the cab loose before the body of the victim could be removed. Investigating officer at the scene was Clair M. Poulson, of the Utah Highway Patrol.

IRS highway use tax returns compliance program Notices of possible highway use tax delinquency are being mailed to truck and bus owners and users, Mr. Roland V. Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue Service for Utah, announced today. The mailing is a part of the Service's nationwide Highway Use Tax Returns Compliance Program. The IRS has matched its highway use tax records with state truck registration records to identify potential nonfilers and During July, cases in which there is no response or insufficient response will be assigned to IRS district personnel who will begin contacting these truck owners. Because highway use tax applies to vehicle users, not all owners are liable for the tax. For example, a lessee rather than a truck owner may be liable for the tax if local law requires the vehicle to be registered in the name of the lessee, liable or not Liable Any taxpayer who receives a notice of potential liability but is not liable for the tax should complete the appropriate sections of the notice and return it to the IKS. The tax applies to trucks weighing of 13,000 pounds or more, 5,500 pounds or more, and buses that use the public highways. The amount of tax assessed depends on the number of axles and weights of vehicles. All taxpayers having delinquent returns to file should not wait to be contacted, but should file immediately to avoid additional penalties and interest, Mr. Wise said.
