Show ' 4., Water Turns P osted For Lewiston City The Lewiston City Council was held with Mayor L. D. Bodily conducting the business. Councilman De VanOr-de- n reported that it was necessary to turn on the pumps for the culinary water at Clear Creek because of the tack of water in some areas of the city. A letter has been sent out to property owners notifying them of the need to more fairly distribute city culinary waiter and the need to now go on sprinkling water turns. Effective immediately, or out, all water troughs in use must be equipped with a suitable float shut off valve, city water must pot be used to irrigate commercial crops or pasture lands, sprinkling homes facing north and east water on even days, homes facing south and west water on odd days, and watering hours are between 7 a.m. and sunset. If deemed necessary water users premises will be inspected to find water turn violations and or defective watering equipment. The following are some guide lines suggested by Mr. VanOrden that he felt were necessary to eliminate water waste: repair all defective or leading water valves inside turns and hours must be served and a sprinkler or a nozzle must be used on all turns. It was questioned by the group of the use of putting greens on the recreation park and concern about the need of water for that area was expressed. It was noted that there had been several building pro' grams started within the community and the council found that building permits had not been secured.

The proximity of one of the finest schools of education in the West and the desirability of living in Cache Valley has combined to provide many highly trained teachers to replace any vacancy. This has not been the case in other areas of the state or even the nation.
