(Cont. on Page 2, Col. 5) An Improvement District to pay for the cost of maintenance and power in street lighting on certain streets in South Salt Lake is being considered by the City Council. A hearing will be held on the 12th day of August, 1961, at 10 a.m. at the City Hall to consider the proposed levy, Wind Tunnel Saves 40 Grand U. If you cannot afford to buy it, make it. This was the philosophy of the University of Utah Mechanical Department Engineering when a new wind tunnel was needed and sufficient funds for a purchase were not available. A wind tunnel which would provide satisfactory test data for student research was estimated to cost about $50,000. A large amount of the cost of a wind tunnel results from engineering design. The faculty and students in the Mechanical Engineering Department, determined to have a new wind tunnel, pooled their talents to come up with a design which is both economical and practical. Because of their efforts, the construction of this tunnel on campus has been accomplished at a saving of approximately $40,000. With aeronautical industries coming to the Salt Lake area, the need for a new tunnel has increased. There is also an inls in creasing use of other industries. Some of the items now being tested in wind tunnels, outside the realm of aircraft, are: ventilating systems, TV towers and antennas, automobiles and advertising signs. Another use, important to Utah, is the study of the effect of wind on agricultural crops. The size of the new test section is two by three feet, the same as piat of the old tunnel, but the speed of the wind has been increased from 50 to 125 miles per wind-tunne- hour. The increase in speed is obtained by recirculation of the air. The air is not dumped into the atmosphere after it passes through the test section as it was in the old tunnel. It is turned by vanes and sent back through the propeller blades. The obvious gain is and hear such protests and objections to the improvements as shall be made. The estimated cost per year of power and the maintenance for a period will be approxicents per front foot mately 7 of abutting property. All protests or objections to the suggested improvements or to carry out such intention must be in writing and signed by the owners of the property affected 5-y- ear or benefited. The owners must identify and describe their property and name its number of front feet. This written objection must be filed with the City Recorder before the 12th of August. The streets named in the Improvement District are as follows: Commonthwealth Avenue Utopia Avenue Robert Avenue Oakland Avenue Wentworth Avenue Beryl Avenue Vidas Avenue Leslie Avenue Burton Avenue For complete details about this Improvement' District turn to page 4 of this paper and look in Legal Notices under NOTICE OF INTENTION. that once energy has been imparted to the air, there are only minor losses due to turning and friction. The new energy gained in this system may be as high as seven times that of a tunnel without recirculation. Thus, a motor in a closed tunnel may .be equivalent to a motor in an open tunnel. The new 125 miles per hour speed, though not supersonic, is ideal for a broad range of research studies. In fact, for several reasons too high a speed can be detrimental. For example, Wind tunnel is very a high-specostly; the models must be better constructed; the instrumentation has to be sturdier; and on Page 2, Col. 4) ' ed dam-(Co- nt. .
