However, How-ever, it is understood that in case a large group Is moved into the urea, they will be under strict governmental gov-ernmental supervision. The Cedar City Chamber of Commerce Com-merce Board of Directors at its last meeting passed a resolution stating that the organization would not oppose settlement of Japanese in the Beryl area for the duration, provided the settlement is under government supervision. In the meantime a number of Japanese have located in this area, having either leased or purchased property. The Page ranch Is now occupied by Japanese and it is reported re-ported that several other ranches in the western part of the county will be sold. However, the number of settlers is not as great as was feared, and It is hoped by county residents that no further settlements settle-ments will be made here.
