Advisor will be In charge Manila Citizens Ballot to Establish Zoning Guide The Manila Planning Advis-ory Committee met recently to discuss a recent ballot which had been passed to every resi-dent of the area known as Man-ila. The Ballot asked residents to vote whether they wanted to remain as Residential-Agricultur- Zone, or be rezoned to an Agricultural Zone in the County. This ballot was not passed out to rezone the area, but to establish a guideline for the county planning commission to give the commission the feel-ings of the majority of the fam-ilies in the Manila area. Chairman Neil J. Flinders wrote a letter to the Utah County Planning Commission, and gave the results of this balloting. He also explained to the commission what the com-mittee had been trying to do. Balloting results showed the following: Northeast Section, RA-- 1 27 per cent and A-- 2 73 per cent. Northwest Section, RA--1 5 and A-- 2 95. Southeast Section, RA--1 59 per cent and A-- 2 41 per cent. Southwest Section, RA-- 1 65 per cent and A-- 2, 35 per cent. Based on this balloting, the Manila Planning Advisory Committee recommended that the Northeast and Northwest sections be considered for to an A-- 2 status, and that the Southeast and South-west sections retain the pres-ent RA-- 1 classification. Of course, before any action can be taken on such a rezon-ing- , a public hearing would be called and residents could then express their feelings further on any change. Committee members besides Mr. Flinders are Eldon Pack, Roy Boyer, Keith Jacobs, Boyd Fugal, and Beatrice Fisher is secretary. The Manila Planning Com-mittee also took up the mat-ter of the numbering system put into effect by the county. The board approved this sys-tem inasmuch as all the streets in the Manila area are num-bered by the county. Cify Council CHIolds Session on Tuesday collected in fines and forfeit-ures. Both men felt that be-cause of the increased work load and time spent for this activity that aditional consid-eration should be given to these area in the next budget. The council expressed their ap-preciation to Judge Anderson and Mr. Wootton for the excel-lent job that they are doing and for the good reputation that the city court has in the county. It was decided that compensation for the time us-ed by these gentlemen in ful-filling their positions be re-viewed by the council and a decision be reached as soon as possible. The new owner of a local business was present at the meeting to request a beer lic-ense for his business. The previous owner had lost his license because of violations of the city beer ordinance. The council informed the gentle-man that a $1000 bond will have to be posted by the busi-ness establishment before a beer license will be issued. Royce Matthews met with the council and asked to be considered for taking care of the commercial garbage pick-up in the city. The council told Mr. Matthews that they are presently considerig having a private concern handle the commercial pick-up- s so that the city crews can complete the residental areas.

Mr. Steele told the council that the city employees are holding a safety meeting each Monday morning at the shops. It is felt that by holding these meetings the safety hazards of utility work will be recognized and avoided. Judge Keith Anderson and City Attorney Noall Wootton met with the council to report on the activity of the city court.

D. L. Nelson and L. E. Ringger are checking over progress on the new addition to house computer controls. Modernization of Geneva Plate and Strip Rolling Mill 40 Completed Rolling Mill Moderlzation At Geneva 40 Per Cent Complete Modernization of the Gen-eva Works plate and strip rol-ling mill is more than 40 per cent complete and will be fin-ished ahead of schedule if the current rate of progress is maintained Raymond W. Sund-quis- t, general superintendent said Monday. Mr. Sundquist made public this review of the ar project as workmen moved into the most visible part of the job, the construc-tion of the four-stor- y rolling mill building addition that will house the electrical equipment, computer and the control pul-pit. . This structure is being con structed in two phases and will become a part of the present rolling mill building. It will measure about 38 feet by 130 feet. The first phase of the building will be finished by mid-Januar- y and the second phase is to be completed by late May or early June, 1973. A major feature of the pro-ject is modern automatic gage control at the finishing stands with a computor control to carry out split-secon- d adjust-ments in force applied by the big rolls, govern roll speed and interstand tension, and syn-chronize related phasees of the final rolling operation. August Goal The entire project is now scheduled to be completed in August, 1973. Mr. Sundquist said that all electrical equip-ment, except the computor, will have been shipped to Gen-eva before the end of the year. Mechanical equipment for the modernization program is being fabricated at Geneva and this work is well under-way. The rolling mill moderniza-tion will enable Geneva to pro-duce plate, coils and hot-rolle- d sheets of improved quality re-lated to gage, width, and other physical properties. The project is viewed as an important step in Geneva's all-o- ut effort to meet the growing challenge by foreign and do-mestic producers for West Coast steel markets. Ve!ma GiHman Mew President of P.
