LXVII, No. 52 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1970 SINGLE COPY 10c PS. iiwe Water-Sew- er !nc3 Election Jan., If After careful review of the present condition and need for water improvements the members of the city council have approved to present to the citizens of Pleasant Grove a proposal to authorize bonds for water and sewer improve-ments in the amount of $395,000. According to Mayor Jack E Cook, this bond issue will be presented in two propositions, 1, to approve $375,000 to be issued and sold for the pur-pose of defraying the cost of constructing improvements and extensions to the water system and 2, to approve a $20,000 issue to' be used for the purpose of defraying the cost of constructing extensions to the sewer system. Mayor Cook encourages all citizens to become aware of the need for these improve-ments and vote in favor of authorizing issuance of these bonds. A public meeting will be held Jan. 12, 1970 at 7:30 p.m. in the Little Theatre of the high school. At this meet-ing the city engineer, bonding advisor and city council will present to all interested citi-zens details of the proposed improvements and bonding program. Paul Fordham, former P. G. Mayor, in a telephone call to the Review Tuesday, said he heartily endorsed the need for this bond issue, and urged citizens to get behind the council and mayor and vote in the need funds. The election is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 1971. To facilitate voting and counting of ballots, the city has been divided into two dis-tricts. Those citizens residing east of 300 East Street will vote at the high school and those west of that street, will vote at the city hall. All citizens are encouraged to participate in the election. After one summer of water rationing it is imperative that the proposed water improve-ments be completed. The water improvement project, if approved, will increase wat-er pressure throughout most areas of town and increase the water supply. Additional information rel-ative to the proposed projects and bond election will be forthcoming by means of ar-ticles in the Rewiew and also pamphlets which will be pub-lished. Kay L.

Council Holds Short Session Monday Night, Discuss Bonds ding the city into two voting districts (See article on the bond issue and notice of elec-tion for details.) The council also authorized the city recorder to prepare and have published informa-tion pamphlets concerning the bond election and proposed projects which can be distri-buted to the citizens of the city. Councilman Michael Vicch-rlil- i reported that a member was needed for the planning commission. He recommend-ed Mark Johnson be appoint-ed to serve on the commis-sion. The council approved the recommendation. Mayor Cook expressed lus appreciation to Council mem-bers for the many extra hours spent in city affairs. He ex-tended season greetings to the group and wished them con-tinued success for the New Year. The council approved pay-ment of warrants and then ad-journed. Because of the busy Christ-mas season, the city council meeting held Dec. 21, was held to a short duration. It was the Mayor's wish that the meeting be held as short as possible, and that any busi-ness that could be held over until next meeting, be tabled until it can be further dis-cussed at the next regular meeting. All city council members were present for the meeting. Prior to the regular coun-cil meeting, the mayor, coun-cil members and recorder, met with the city employees to present to them the pro-posal for the water and sewer improvements and also to discuss the bond issue which would be necessary if these projects are to be completed. Gilbert Horrocks, city en-gineer presented a short of what the water project would include and al-so presented cost estimates for the project. Mark Johnson was present to explain the bonding pro-gram and the amount of mon-ey which would have to be raised to finance these pro-jects. Mr. Johnson explained that it appears that with the present increase in water rat-es that the revenue generated from this increase will be able to retire the bonds that have to be issued for the wat-er and sewer projects. Mayor Cook explained that it is important that the city employees be aware of the project and its ramifications so that they will be able to answer the questions which will be asked of them from those citizens who will be in-terested in the projects. The council discussed the procedure for holding the bond election. They requested that the city recorder publish a resolution in the paper this week authorizing a bond elec-tion to be held on Jan. 19. The council approved divi- - tL-- ... J GIVES CHECK Kay L. Jacob, Bank of Pleasant Grove, gives check to Alpine Mayor Willard H. Devey, as Councilman Charles F. Adams, Recorder Evan Shep-herd and Richard Christsen, bonding com-pany representative, give their approval. Bank of Pleasant Grove Low Bidder for Alpine City General Obligation Water Bonds Recently Bank of Pleasant Grove participating with the State Bank of Lehi presented the low bid on the General Obligation Water Bonds for Alpine City's Culinary Water project. The bids were opened at Alpine City Hall Nov. 4, 1970 with public notice of bids be ing given in advance, and several other banks in the area participated in the bid-ding. The water project will con-sist of improving and increas-ing the capacity of lines and the water pressure. The im-provements should assure an adequate supply of water to the residents of the city dur-ing periods of peak usage and also produce adequate fire hydrant pressure. The project will also include construction of a 500,000 gallon reservoir and 24,000 feet of 6 to 12 inch distribution lines and other necessary appurtenances and connections. Kay L. Jacobs, president of Bank of Pleasant Grove made the following comments: "The Bank of Pleasant Grove is most happy to help in the de-velopment of our neighboring community by lending funds at the lowest possible rates. This $80,000 bond purchase represents our sincere desire to provide citizens of our mar-ket area with services neces-sary to make life better." Wildlife Society Opposes Firearm Restriction Laws The Wildlife Society has de-clared its opposition to legis-lation "... that impedes or prohibits the legitimate use or acquisition of sporting fire-arms and ammunition." The Society, with headquar-ters in Washington, D.C., is for professionals in biological or related fields of wildlife conservation. Their statement outlining their position said that ". . . restrictive measures which discourage the American hun-ter's pursuit of his sport will not only curtail wildlife con-servation and game manage-ment programs but will also reduce present opportunities for outdoor recreation." Sportsmen's license fees and excise taxes paid on guns and ammunition provide most of the funds for wildlife con-servation and game manage-ment in Utah. Critics of hun-ters and hunting seasons should be willing to 'put their money where their mouth is' and instead of criticizing the sportsmen, join with them in wildlife conservation and pro-tection of the environment.

Mail will be dispatched as usual and a collection will be made of all collection boxes, at 4:30 p.m. PG Kiwanis Club Hears Talk on Holy Land Area Pleasant Grove Kiwanians, their wives and guests en-joyed a dinner meeting at Parks Cafe Saturday evening. The main feature Of the ev-ening was a talk by Louis E. Gardner. LaMont Brown was induct-ed into Kiwanis by Merrill N. Warnick. Guests of the club were Mr. and Mrs. J. LeRoy Thorne, Stephen Gardner, Ranae Rawlinson, and Mr. and Mrs. Casey Nesbitt. Mr. Gardner was an ad-viser to the Jordan govern-ment in 1953 on petroleum exploration. He worked for several months in all parts of the Holy Lands, the Dead Sea Basin and the deserts to the east. He told of the geography and climate of this ancient land, and of the people who lived there. He showed slides and gave word pictures of the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus and of his ancestoral kinsman, King David. He told of the great caver-nous unlit Church of the Re-deemer built over several hills and with steep steps worn down to mere paths by millions of pilgrams. In some places the walls bear the names or marks of Crusad-ers who were the tourists of almost a thousand years ago. He also described and gave the history of the city of Jer-usalem, of its Holy places, and its countryside where he worked. He mentioned that much of the country had little vegetation and was somewhat similar to Utah Valley, but that the shepherds in the countryside were little differ-ent now than they were al-most 2,000 years ago in the time of Christ. He told of camping out and looking at the deep blue sky studded with millions of stars just as shepherds did thous-ands of years ago. It gave a person a feeling of enormous space and of eternal time be-cause you could 'see for-ever." Mr. Gardner said that af-ter you live in the Holy Land awhile you get i- - feeling of reverence and you want to iust look and think of how three of the great religions of the world, Hebrew, Chris-tian and Moslem had their birthplaces in this small area and of how all three hold the same city sacred. He pointed out that the three great re-ligions have many strong sim-ilarities that far overshadow their differences. Yet, men have long emphasized their small differences and ignored their great similarities to cre-ate misunderstandings, dis-trust and even conflict. These three religions that teach brotherhood, peace, and submission to God have fought inumerable battles and killed unnumbered men be-cause of their differences. He suggested that if any of the audience should be fortun-ate enough to visit the Holy Lands that they first go on t ho guided tours, but that they ,'save time to return alone to some of the places and sit in solitude and silence to think of God, the universe and man-kind, just as countless Jews, Christians and Moslems have done in the past.

Wrestlers Win and Basketball Team Loses in Recent Games In two recent athletic en-counters with Orem, the Vik-ing athletics split. Last Thurs-day the Viking wrestlers won handily 36 to 10, losing only two matches, both of them however, by pins, to give Or-em their 6 points. Tuesday night, however, the Orem Tigers basketball team got back, whacking the Vik-ings by 84-4- 0 in a game at the Pleasant High gym. The loss to Orem was the first league game of the sea-son for the Vikes. They play their next League game on Dec. 30 at Payson and after a e with Cyprus at the local gym, will play a league game with Lehi here on Jan. 6. These two games, Payson and Lehi, should let the local fans see how they will come out on going to State, as Payson and Lehi are the two Class A teams in this league. The Vikings also got beaten last week in a non-leagu- e en-counter with Wasatch High, 66 to 56. The game was play-ed at Ileber. Viking wrestlers won at Carbon Monday night, but no individual scores were avail-able. They will wrestle next on Jan. 2, Saturday, at ie Brighton Invitational, two ses-sions, 1:30 and 7:30. On Thursday, Jan. 7, after the holidays, they will have a Region 4 match with Spring-ville there. Viking wrestlers haven't lost as a team this year so far, and look good to go all the way.
