Grass is also being planted and will be up. Td-Qf- iy GSf Course Wearing npleii The new Tri-Cit-y Golf Course is now about 85 per cent com-plete with grass expected to be planted soon. "The course should be ready for play by the middle of July" Malcolm Beck, city councilman over the golf course and gen-eral chairman of the construc tion, said. "The sprinkling system is 95 per cent complete," Mr. Beck said, and a "top soil mixture is being placed on the tees in preparation for plant-ing." The soil will be lab tested to assure that it is of the prop-er consistency. Mr. Beck said the sprinkling system is fully automatic, and will be set to assure each area receiving the correct amount of water for a lush, green growth. A new hybrid Kentucky Blue-gras- s will be planted on the course. Officials said the strain is disease and drought resist-ant and because of its dense growth, crowds out weeds. It can be cut to a short clip, as low as three-quart- er inch, for putting greens. A mix will be used on the tees, using both blue and a poly cross. The complex features five lakes, three of which will be used in the irrigation system. The two lower lakes will be connected to the irrigation com-pany lines. The American Fork Creek, which runs through the course, is also being utilized as an as-set to the course. The channel will be planted in grass to the waters edge, with four bridges planned to accommodate foot and vehicle traffic across the creek. The maintenance shops and pump house will be located be-tween the first and fifth hole. Other phases of the multi-purpose facility will include the development of a bridle path, an arboretum and other plant-ings to be used by the botany classes at area schools and rid-ing club facilities and race track. Riding club stalls are now under construction at the cour-se with the stalls to be develop-ed for "year round" use. The stalls will have concrete walls and will be fireproof, Mr. Beck said. U&A-- D Cns.icil Meefeg nleld Lasfi Wednesday The London City Council met for their regular meeting Wed-nesday, March 8 with Mayor Stanley Walker conducting. All councilmen were present. Councilman Wayne Peay re-ported on a meeting he had attended in Provo on sewer and water matters. Items discuss-ed were the feasibility of all cities banding together in shar-ing available water as needed, with each city working out its own sewer collecting system, and installing one large dispos-al plant to accomodate the need of all north Utah County cities. Mr. and Mrs. Ori Mumford entered the meeting and told the council the reason they had let a certain trailer remain in their court was to cooperate with the police department in surveillance into a drug mat-ter. Officer Carl Wilkinson cor-robat-this statement. Officer Wilkinson also gave the police report for February. It was a very busy month with $408 collected in fines and for-feitures. Orvil Meacham appeared be-fore the council to inquire if he could build a home on a lot he owned which was of substand-ard size. Mayor Walker report-ed that the State Board of Health had notified him that not more than two homes would be approved at the present for any subdivision within the coun-ty or in any city within the county due to the existing sew-age problems. It was suggested Mr. Meacham work out a trade for more footage for the lot he wants to build on. Mr. and Mrs. Reed Johnson, residents of the trailer court, appeared to inquire about the possibility of getting 6th North Street from the highway to the trailer court, surfaced. They were informed that this was a problem that must be worked out with the landowners on the street. Mayor Walker reported that fires in London City during 1971 had been serviced by the PL Grove Fire Department. Ten calls had been made, with an estimated loss of $100,500. Councilman Wendyl Jar vis reported on the action taken on the right of way to the water storage tanks. One acre of land had been paid for by Mr. Hales to Leonard Walker to accomodate the right of way, and this will be deeded to the city by Mr. Hales. Mr. Jarvis stated that a good chain link fence should be installed the water tank and wires strung to define the right of way. Councilman Jarvis reported also that a meter had been in-stalled to service Holly Max-fiel- d, meter being placed on public property. The city has also acquired five additional shares of North Union Water at $400 per share. Mr. Jarvis also informed the council he had contacted other engineering firms in regards to the Lindon City sewer system, but find their fees are com-mensurate with each other. Councilman Jarvis said it will take approximately $5,500 to install a new water line on Gen-eva Road to better service the homes and businesses in that area. Councilman Dale Gillman re-- ported the Lions Club will again handle the Easter Egg Hunt on April 1 in the Lindon City Park. Lindon Council members all were agreed to hire another employee under P.E.P. to re-place Ronald Wall, who term- - inated his services with the city on March 1. New office hours for the Lin-don City office were set from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday thru Friday. Office will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, and all legal holidays. Residents may also avail themselves of the mail drop attached to the boil- - ding for paying bills during the hours the office is not open. Snow Surveys March 1 Show Good Storage Snow surveys made March 1, by U.S. Soil Conservation Ser-vice personnel Soren Sabey and Ron Zeeman and Forest Ser-vice personnel, show some average snow pack in the watersheds of Utah County. The snow measurements show very little snow and wat-er accumulation since Feb. 1. Much could happen between now and spring. If the present trend continues through April, the water supply outlook from streams within this area should remain adequate. Holdover storage in the two major res-ervoirs are above average. In the American Fork Can-yon area the Snow pack water content is generally 105 per-cent of the March 1 average. Timpanogos divide has the hea-viest snow pack with 58 inches of snow containing 21.9 inches of water. Average content for March 1 is 19.9 inches. At Payson Ranger Station, the snow depth is 39 inches con-taining 14.4 inches of water. This is 103 percent of the 15 15 year average for Mar. 1. In the Spanish Fork Canyon area the snow course measure-ments range from 10.64 to 14.4 inches of water. This is about 102 percent of the Mar. 1 aver-age. The combined watershed av-erage taken on all snow cour-ses were 108 percent of normal. Other snow surveys taken by Jack Young of the U.S. Soil Conservation in the Heber area show Strawberry Summit 14.5 inches snow with 11.6 inches water average March 1, 125 per cent of normal. Weber River Watershed shows 47 inches snow with 10.1 inches of water at 141 percent of Mar. 1 normal Plans for North Utah County Sewer System Discussed by Darrell Berkheimer A northern Utah County sew-er system venture, as proposed by interested citizens and offic-ials also is recommended in a portion of the countywide sew-er and water study now being finalized by local planners. Data for the county water and sewer study was collected last year by the county plan-ning staff and Despain and De-pai- n, local consulting firm. Despain and Despain has nearly completed its additional task of writing the sewer and study plan, complete with con-clusions and recommendations. And the recommendations on the northern portion of the county were presented I. Dale Despain at the county planning commission's meeting Tuesday night. The recommendations, in brief, were as follows: The community of Highland, currently covered by the High-land water system, should be incorporated; and the commun-ity of Manila, serviced by the Manila water system, should either be incorporated or to Pleasant Grove City. The communities of Alpine and Highland should contract with American Fork to have their sewage given primary treatment, while the City of Lindon should contract with Pleasant Grove City to have its sewage given primary treatment. And the seven communities of Alpine, Highland, Lehi, Am-erican Fork, Manila, Pleasant Grove and Lindon should con-tract with each other to con-struct and maintain necessary outfall lines and tertiary (third stage) treatment facil-ities so that the upgrading of all effluent from the three pri-mary facilities to meet Class "C" state water quality stand-ards can be done in the most efficient manner. The three treatment facili- - ties are those now used by Am-erican Fork, Lehi anh Pleas-ant Grove. These three have been considered overloaded or in need of additional facilities to meet future needs. The sewer recommendations add that a sewer district should not be created in the northern part of the county to handle col-lection and treatment of sew-age from unincorporated areas outside of the cities. It is pointed out that crea-(Continu-on page 7) Police Arrests Are Becoming Major Item in Daily Work Load Pleasant Grove police arrests picked up over the last two weeks, as numerous people got into trouble in our city.
