The completion date for the building has been set at September 15, 1974, according to Stake President Blaine UJ Slake Center stated. The building itself will cost $685,000 and is being built on an tract of land. Aleight-acr- e together it will enclose 25,000 d square feet. A brick will cover the outside with white stone slabs for the light-colore- steeple. Bishop Don Williams of Smithfield Sixth Ward, who has been working on the project, described some of the facilities the new building would include. It has a seating capacity of 1800 within view of the pulpit. There are 25 teaching stations and the chapel seats 360. Of course there will be the stake presidents office and offices for the two bishoprics. , atfje fje Plans Disclosed The new Smithfield Stake Center being constructed at 120 South 6th East is now about 50 percent completed. September 15, 1974 is the suggested date for opening. Smithfield Fifth ward, currently sharing facilities with Third ward, and Sixth ward, sharing with Fourth, will use the new building for ward services and activities. Contractors for the project are Broderick and Howell of Orem. R. Fred Von Neiderhaus-e- r of Logan is the architect. Smithfield Stake President Blaine Rich explained that the population of the stake, which includes nine wards, six in Smithfield and one in each of the towns of Amalga, Newton and Clarkston, about 4800 people in all, has been steadily increasing. It has necessitated the dividing of wards and is the most important reason for the new stake center, Pres. Rich Rich and Bishop Don Williams, who discussed the project with the Cache Citizen yesterday. A blueprint of the center is included on page 6. The building also houses a d basketball court and there will be two ball diamonds on the stake house grounds. One problem has arisen in the construction of the building. The access road, responsibility of Lumberg, Johnson and Jacobson, the Logan Corporation which sold the land to the church, is ungraveled. During these rainy days the road is difficult to surmount. Regulations affecting the construction of the road, the type of gravel to be used and its proper application, are largely responsible for this difficulty. Still, Merrill Gessel, Broderick and Howell Construction superintendent for the project, is hopeful that the roof will be on this winter so that work can begin inside the building. Anyone just driving by the construction might think the work is less near completion than it actually is. On the far side of the building the brick is part way up, and some of the cannot be seen construction i from the road. The cost of the building will be shared on a 0 basis between the church office in Salt Lake and the local wards. Most of the local money has been raised by donation. full-size- 70-3- Working with Stake President Rich and Bishop Williams on the project is Bishop Lynn Nelson of the Fifth Ward. Gene Esplin is working from the architectural standpoint. VOL.

Commission Refuses Rezoning The rezoning , of land just north of Smithfield to allow for development of a trailer park was refused by the Cache County Commission this week. After deciding to take a look at the property the Commission made the decision on which it has been deliberating for several weeks. In reaching the decision the Commission considered the of a trailer court on the approach to the city, the safety hazard it might have presented being close, to two roads, and that the park would have deviated from the County Master Plan which prescribes desirable development for the county. At the last meeting one said that he had been ity com-mission- cr in contact with Mayor Ballam of Smithfield and that it was the .Mayors feeling that the suggested site was not a good place to have a trailer court.
