Show OTI VY7 I r h IJ . BY NETIIELLA GRIFFIN The Word vrom ooulder We were informed Sunday that as of December 18 Boul-jler has been an incorporated town. The news was a shock to most of the people who had supposed that a petition to the county commissioners they presented in January had served to Iiead off the move for incorporation. At the general election last November a .proposal for incomoratlon was presented, and a m?.jority of -the voters approved it witb-tuf any definite information, as to what the consequences would be. Later inquiries convinced them that they did noi want the town, which will Include all the ranches, incorp orated. Mrs. Irene King, whom the county commissioners has appointed to be president of the town board, informed the people Sunday that they would have to wait until the next general election and fill other requirements of the law in order to disincorporate. Other appointed board members are Max Behunin, Kirk Lyman, Burnell Baker, and Eugene Griffin. Mr. and Mrs. Heber Poul-sen were called to Richfield Monday on account of the death of Heber's father, Arthur Poulsen. The funeral was held in Richfield on Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Haws and Mrs. Idona Haws attended the funeral. Mrs. Sherrell Alvey returned with her parents, the Heber Poulsens, on Saturday. Her two children came down with measles on the way from Richfield. Several of us helped with the church farm work-day at Escalante on Saturday. Alice AlVey and I were among the fifteen Relief Society women of the Stake who cooked and served dinner to seventy-one men and boys who evidently accomplished a considerable amount of spring farm work -that day. Anyway they had ' i good appetites, and we hope they enjoyed the sociability of working together as much as we women did. We are still rejoicing over the good eight inches of wet snow we had last week (ten inches at the upper ranches) and are hoping that this chilly wind we have today will not nullify the benefits of the storm. The cold nights have .evidently finished off the apri-.cot crop for this year. We hope the peaches and apples will fare better. r.S. The wind brought a gooa soaking rain and some snow. Evidently the storms at last have found us. |
