Show JANUARY impossible to attend the office at all times, so have a little patience if you call and no one responds. It is imperative that I be out of the office on various assignments and attendance at meetings. If you call or make a visit to the office an. fino no one, please call again. I will try to leave a note on the door indicating when I will return to the office.

If you were faced with the birth of triplets in the family, which the would require construction of new bedroom and possibly new space, bathroom facilities and family room; and at the same time the old car quit and the other kids need clothing; and all the funds you could scrape together would cover less than half of these emergency needs, how would you handle the situation? Such a plight faces Roosevelt City at the present time (and other cities in the county). And the solution seems to be just as hard to come by as yours would be if your were farad with the above dilema. One of the biggest hurdles facing Roosevelt City at the present time is water. The birth the of (tripling triplets a m just lew years) population has placed a strain on existing supplies and facilities. Internal system repairs brought a considerable savings during 1974, making it possible for the city to again get by'. But engineers estimate that we will need up to an additional second-foo- t of water for the use peak period this year if we are to meet the needs of the city. Long range plans for water development look good. The development of Big Springs by the Ute Tribe should make ' available to the city a good source of additional water. Down the line further, the dty has secured rights in the proposed Uintah Reservoir for storage water, and the well system northwest of the dty adds additional insurance But one of the greatest problems at the present is finances. For instance, if the city - were to complete the Campbell well project, build the storage tank and run lines into town, as well as continue to the service lines in the dty and run laterals to the west to serve Major Oil, and to the northeast to serve a possible industrial complex, the cost would exceed all available and potential funds by some one million dollars. It is true that the growth in the area has increased the tax base considerably within the dty. But it is also a fact that the cost of growth has far exceeded the rise in revenue, and will probably continue to do so for some years. The city does have another stop-gap- " howalternative, ever, which we feel they have wisely turned to. Although planning is continuing on the e projects, with construction to be completed as soon as funds can be made available for each phase, dty offidals have decided to use some of the available funds for an "immediate source to eleviate the shortage that may exist this up-da- te 29, 30, 31, and Feb. 1 at 7:30.

Plans call for the channeling of about one second foot of water from the old dty wells west of the city into a line that would be constructed to the vidnity of Major Oils refinery. It would feed back through dty lines to add a supply for the cemetery and that area of the dty. It is felt that this should carry us through the 1975 season, and move doser to the completion of the Big Springs project Solving the problems of a growing city is not easy. We commend those who are using foresight and planning working for our future. in By Dennis Kay At this time of year most people do not see or think about what the Division of Wildlife Resources is doing. Although the fishing and hunting season are still many months away, division personnel are busy at many activities which are aimed at making these sports rewarding and . enjoyable for the sportsman. Data collected during the fishing season is computed and analized to help determine numbers of fish to be stocked and times for stocking on many of the more popular fishing waters. Damage to fish habitat is monitered to determine and record the extent of such loss of habitat. Sex ratio surveys are conducted on all pheasant areas in the state at this time of year to determine the impact of last falls hunt on the pheasant population. These studies largely determine what the next seasons regulations and bag limits will . be. j I I From DITHKSNK HIGH I SCHOOL The Mighty Eagles can't be stopped!

Bell Received a letter addressed to the Ouray Chamber of Commerce, Ouray, Utah, today asking for a list of hotels and their fees in the city and information on restaurants. They would like literature or pamphlets on the city of Ouray and g and horseinformation on back riding. Someone has been doing some excellent jobs on public relations work. Of course, I shall respond to the inquiry as best I can, trying not to destroy the inquirer's image. Sure does feel good not to have the pressures and planning of the annual report and dinner meeting this morning. I was very pleased with the attendance at the meeting. The meeting moved right along and our guest speaker held the attention of everyone by giving a concise picture of the oil shale development. The gavel was passed from Paul Edmunds, the outgoing president, to John Miller who will lead the Chamber this year. Once again, we have wrapped up the old year and are looking with enthusiasm toward a bigger and better year with added participation and cooperation from our members. Many thanks to those contributing to the success of the 1974 Chamber year. The competition in the membership drive seems to be moving along neck and neck. The response has been great and we now have approximately $6,000.00 toward our goal of $11,220.00 making us about halfway there.
