A On New School Buildings The first round of public meetings to discuss the building needs in the South Sanpete School District was completed last week and plans for future meetings are underway. District officials estimated that a total of nearly 500 citizens attended the seven community meetings and participated in completing the questionnaire and in the ques- - tion and answer followed the slide-soun- that period d pre- sentation. "The Board of Education now has the task of analyzing the information recorded on the questionnaire, said Supt. Ron Everett, and making decisions regarding the Citizen Planning Committee and other matters that relate to our building concerns. 100 Men Laid Off The Road Runner Division of temporary. a major manuEntwistle Co.

As . a consequence, the amount of water in the tank has been diminishing for the past several days and the tank on Wednesday contained only 18 feet of water, whereas at capacity it contains 37 feet. Only about 450 gallons a minute are coming into the tank, Mr. Olsen said Wednes Six day. Ordinarily, at this time of year the tank receives 1,500 gallons a minute. The need to be conservative is urgent, Mr. Olsen explained, because at the present rate of consumption the tank could be emptied. Another consideration is the fire hazard that would occur if insufficient water is retained in the system. The amount of water produced by the springs that feed the system may increase sufficiently to take care of the citys needs, Mr. Olsen said. If this does not occur, he said, a curtailment of sprinkling will probably be necessary. In the meantime, he added, we should reduce waste to a minimum and conserve water in every way we can. Superintendent Everett said the district was pleased with the number of people who attended these special meetings and the positive attitude that seemed to exist in regard to new building considerations. Now that the community meetings are over, any social club or service organization that would like to view the presentation may arrange for such a meeting by contacting my office, Superintendent Everett suggested. He added that the Board of Education wishes to thank those who attended, and especially those who helped facilitate the hearings by making arrangements for publicity, buildings, etc. Future meetings will be held to inform the citizenry at each phase of the planning process and gain their input. Superintendent Everett explained.
