Show I P. G. Bids For Central Utah Vocational School A vigorous campaign will be conducted by Pleaseit Grove City, and the civic clubs of this community to secure t(ie newly created Central Utah Vocational School, which was recently created by the Utah State Legislature. i According to the bill which was passed this nqw school must be located in or near Provo, and in as much a Pleasant Grove is located near Provo, this gives us an opportunity to bid for the new school. Mayor M. S. Christiansen stated Thursday evening that Pleasant Grove has a number of desirable sites which can be secured for the school, and with the cooperation of ths civic clubs, an appeal will be made to the state superintendent of schools, and the state school board to have Pleasant Grove designated as the city for the new school. The school has been functioni ig in the Utah County Fair Grounds for the past several years, and now that the state has taken over, new and permanent buildings will have to ke built to house the fast growing institution. It is understood that American Fork, Orem and Provo and other Utah County cities have already bid for the ney school, and inasmuch as Pleasant Grove is one of the most centrally located cities in Utah County's industrial area, a vigorous campaign cam-paign will be launched today (Friday) to bring this school to Pleasant Grove. |
