Bennett, also notified by Secretary Callaway of the I am very Army's decision, said, commend decision with and this pleased the Armys attitude in this matter. While the transfer of these munitions to Tooele had once been the Armys number one alternative, they were clearly responding to the desire of all the states elected officials that the nerve gas be destroyed in place rather than moved," the senator said who only Rep.

Romney, second counselor of the churchs First Presidency, warned Relief Society members. Pres. Romney was the principal speaker at the general session of Relief Society conference Wednesday afternoon in the Tabernacle on Temple Square. Evil Forces Nothing Serious FIGHT FOR FIRST: Well weve got a little historical argument on our hands today. Which y western community was the first to enjoy electric lights? Some folks say it was Ogden, Utah. Others cjaim the distinction belongs to Cheyenne, Wyo. I did a little checking . . . And it looks like Ogden is the winner. According to an item m Frank Leslie's Weekly a very popular magazine of the last century plans wee announced on Dec. 4, 1880, to erect a tall electric light pole on a building m Ogden, Utah making Ogden the first city west of the Mississippi River to boast electnc-lt- y ' i , f'. 9 According to the story, a tall pole was to be erected on an Ogden building around the first of February in the year 1881 there would be four lights or. the building and enough electricity would be generated to light about a square mile of the town. Eut I cant determine if the tower was ever built. But it i an accepted historical fact the honor ,jof being the first city to be electrthed irt the entire Umted States belongs to Cheyenne hemmed Other communities and hawed about whether to install the electric lights. Many of the town leaders said they were a danger and a fire hazard. new-fangl- BELIEVE IT or not, but there were many citizens in communities around the nation who regarded electric lights as rather sinful many said that if God had wanted man to have electric lights He would have given a generator and so,.ie light bulbs to Moses on the top of the Mount. So while the other communities in the nation dawdled, the forward looking town fathers of Cheyenne decided to take a chance. in the year 1892 . . . but electricity back in those days was a far cry from today when all and you have to do is flip and switch pay the bill. Cheynne was electrified Back m those days, electricity was peddled door to door in horse carts. The electricity was sold to customers in the form of storage batteries. At the time, the cost of installation of electric lights in Cheyenne was $3 per room . . . Believe it or not, not e cry body took advantage of the new invention. Most of the housewives preferred the old gas lights. They believed that electric current would spoil the curtains, darken the walls of the room and weaken the timbers of Ihe house. By Frank Hewlett Tribune Washington Bureau - WASHINGTON Sen. Wallace F. met with Secretary of Bennett, the Interior Rogers C. B. Morton for a hour Wednesday and afterward reported be was optimistic that work on the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project will be able to proceed close to its original schedule. This was a preliminary discussion and nothing final was settled but I am very hopeful that the problems can be worked out, Essensaid Sen. Bennett. tially the secretary is with the states position rather than against it, although he faces other pressures, basically money. Sole Republican The meeting m Mr. Mortons office was requested by Utahs senior senator, the only Republican member of the Utah Officials tc Up Car Allowance congressional delegation. The main purpose was to discuss the Bonneville Unit. Its future construction pace is awaiting a decision by the secretary, which Sen. Bennett said is expected within the next few weeks. Sen. Bennett said Secretary Morton also promised him he would keep his to an alternate site for the mind power plant for the Kaiparowits Project for southern Utah. He said the secretary has instructed his staff to work closely with the state and the interested power companies to fmd a new site, farther away from the one m Kane County which the secretary rejected early this summer. That turndown was for environmental reasons and the secretary cited the nearness of the proposed plant to the Lake Powell Recreation Area. ren Decision Priority He said the secretary also pledged to instruct his new commissioner for Indian Affairs, when he is appomted, to give top priority to a decision on what to do with he Intermountain Indian School at Brigham City. It is scheduled to be as a secondary school for phased Navajo children. ot Acting upon a recommendation from Deputy Treasurer Meredith Poulsen, Salt Lake City commissioners Wednesday decided to raise them monthly car allowances by $35. Presently, each commissioner along with the city auditor receives $150 a month car allowance. Mr Poulsen recommended increasing the allowance to $185 after a study of maintenance costs, depreciation and insurance costs. He also recommended the present city ordinance allowing the payment be boosted to allow, at the commissions discretion, up to car expenses. h Most of the meeting, the senator emphasized, was devoted to the Bonneville project and the policy decisions now under consideration by the Intenor Department. The secretary shares my view that it is up to the state of Utah to decide how it wants to use its water, and I dont think the attitude of the department will be dietatonal, said Sen. Bennett. Several Options However, there are some options which the department wants to point out and discuss, although no final decisions have been made at this point. strengthen our defenses against these evil forces, Pres. Romney insisted. There are too many delinquents among us; there are too many of our bndes and grooms who do not get maimed in the temple. There are too many divorces, too many broken homes, too many children growing up w.thout beuig grounded in the knowledge of the gospel. We need to heed the admonition the Lord gave the saints in Zion soon after the organization of the church, Pres. Romney said Elder James E. Fatist, assistant to the Council of Twelve Apostles, told the Mission Reunions, D-1- 3 Relief Society members that although they have, by them enkbhtemng influence, made things go well in the home, they now have a new responsibility canng for a host of choice sisters who are new to the organization. Single Females Faust spoke of all single females of the Church 18 years of age and over who will be under the auspices Elder of Relief Society. Elder Faust said that like his daughter Lisa, 18, each of these young women has an identity; each is special; each is an individual with separate hopes and needs.

Mr. Nemelka, in a letter dated Oct. 1, said the county could expect an increasing number of busmesses to seek industrial revenue bonding because of high interest rates and tight money. He suggested that Salt Lake County ought to decide whether it wants to bond for all applicants that are financially sound or whether it wants to be more selective. He pointed out that the county should complement the activities of the private sector rather than offer competition. ' John Director Fmance County Delaney pointed out another concern was the final disposition of property devei- oped by the bonds after they are paid off. Criticisms Voiced He said industrial revenue bonds offer' advantages to both the county and developers but have drawn criticism from bonding institutions and developers using conventional revenue sources The bonds are advantageous to developers because cl the low interest rates the bonds carry and are advantageous to the county because they encourage the development of new business. The committee will include representatives of local bonding institutions, developers and county officials.
