In Lindon there are only two parties who have nominated candidates. Perhaos it is an off year, and the candidates are not yet trying too hard, or the Review staff is not getting them organized, so we have done nothing more so far than list the names of the candidates in the last two issues of the paper.

County Plans October Beautification To beautify Utah County is io add another valuable resource to this choice area. Well cared lor streets, homes, businesses, churches, buildings and vacant lots invite potential home seekers and businesses, and in addition adds to county citi.ei-- i satisfaction and pride in their countv and communities. The Utah County Beau-tification Committee has met with officials of all the local communities, and ob-tained their approval to set aside October 5 throng Uei. 30 as a special time to remove dilapidated useless buildings. We are urging every citizen to consider removing any shabby dilapidated buildings on their premises. It is true that many old buildings are used to hous'.' animals so that owners are reluctant to dispose of them. However, these owners should consider straightening up boards, renailing loose boards and painting such a structure. The cities and the county cooperating are going to present to each owner who removes a useless dilapidated building trees and shrubs; for the removal of an old shack, house or barn, three trees and two shrubs; a garage, two trees and two shrubs; and a shed, one tree and three shrubs. People who participate in this program will need to inform their community beautification chairman what they have done by Nov. 1. Awards will be made at a banquet in November. The county beautification committee suggests that Oc-tober 25 through October 31 be designated by the communities as their fall cleanup. .This is the time when old plants from the summer, primings and other trash cleaned and hauled away. This is the cleanup time for every citizen in the com-munity. Hoever, the date is suggestive, some communities may find it to their advantage to hold a fall cleanup on another date. Let's all pitch in and remove trash and objects that detract from the beauty of our county. Chamber of Commerce Has Meeting Recently commissioners will put forth cooperative efforts to get promotional signs on the high-ways, on T.V. and other forms of advertising to try to promote visitors to Utah County. These funds were made known through the Mountain Lands Association of Government. This they feel will bring in-terest as well as capital gain into our county. Our promotion committee has been busy as you may have noticed with our October Promotion for hunters as well (Continued on page 6) by Jennie Gilbert At our .September meeting President Hal Allen and Lee Swenson were selected to visit the Forest Service in response to a letter received from them, concerning the use of roads in our canyons. Everyone has been asked to use the roads and paths that are designated for the public use. There has been a lot of trucks, motorcycles, etc. making their own roads and destroying the beauty of the forest, as well as creating other problems. The Forest Service wants to be of service to the public, but at the same time conserve the natural beauty of the forest land. If everyone was allowed to go anywhere and everywhere they pleased with these vehicles they could very soon Cause damage and destruction to our canyons. The Forest Service stresses the use of the designated roads so all the public can enjoy the canyons. They also ask the public to make known, by letter or personal visit, their com-plaints or suggestions, but to make it a specific comment. They urge the public to com-municate for that is the only way action can be taken. They also discussed the lease of the "G" on the mountain. The will renew the lease only on a short term period in favor that something will be done to prove ourselves that the "G" will be kept up. They want something done to stop erosion and to keep it clean of litter and such. This has been a symbol of our community for a long time and with a little work we can keep it up. You may have noticed that it had been pain-ted. Interested citizens and high school students cooperated to accomplish the task. The high school will be helpful but will not take over the responsibility so we appeal to the public. A few painted rocks on a mountain cannot cause a lot of serious problems. It has been there a long time and as I see it, has not caused any problem that cannot be solved. This spot of ground means a lot to us old timers and hope it can remain a symbol to the city for a long time more. We hope interested citizens will respond. Please, we still need a Christmas Tree for the city for our Christmas. If anyone knows where one can be obtained please contact Hal Allen-Preside-of the Chamber of Commerce. We were informed at this meeting of county funds available to Chambers of Commerce throughout the county. It has been proposed that meetings be set up county wide to discuss ways of using these funds to promote Utah county. Chamber of Commerce members throughout the county along with county Lindon City Council Mas Lengthy Session on Oct. 8 The Lindon City Council met for their regular meeting Wednesday, Oct. 8 with Mayor Willard M. Johnson in charge. All councilman were present except LoRoy "Sam" Fryer. Robert Cornaby, Pleasant Grove postmaster, appeared before the council to give a report of postal activities and pointed out the advantages of Lindon City being on rural delivery. Mr. Cornaby further stated that in eliminating box numbers it is very important that "Lyman System" of numbered streets be used in-stead of putting personal names on streets. In a changeover, Lindon citizens would be asked to put their house number on mail boxes and street signs would be required throughout the city. Mr. Cornaby stated that "Change of Address" kits will be sent out to each home and that the change would be gradually made within a period of a year. He pointed out that colorful ornamental mailboxes are available through the Post Office and in keeping with the bicentennial theme. Larry Johnson, superin-tendent of public works, reported on work accomplished during the past two weeks. Due to the recent breakdown of the telemetering system during the time he was on vacation, it was stressed that all city employees have a working knowledge of the Lindon City water system. Mr. Johnson pointed out the need for additional tools. Glenn Cook, City Building Inspector Howard Engh and Larry Johnson had inspected the area on which Mr. Cook intends to build a new home. City water lines, which at the present are inadequate, will need to be relocated and enlarged. Also an electrical underground line servicing the telemetering system will need to be moved. Mr. Cook was aware that he would need to use a pressure pump to have water service to his new home. It was pointed out the necessity of changing the easement for the city right-of-wa- y to the water tank. Mr. Cook said he would have survey stakes placed on his lot by this coming Friday. City Council members would then inspect the area and make any further decision needed at that time. Police Officer LaMar Jolley reported the justice depart-ment collected $1,018 for the month of September. Forty-fou- r citations had been issued, 93 warnings given out 3 ac-cidents investigated, 2 family fights handled, 14 patrol assists, 17 citizen assists, 6 court appearances made, 7 warrants served, 2 prowler calls answered, 19 animal complaints handled, 1 arrest for indecent exposure, 2 illegal possession of alcohol and assisted at two fires. Officer Jolley stated that Officer David Williams had resigned his position as Lindon City policeman and that he had been doing a very good job. During the discussion fibout finding a new officer to fill the vacancy, Councilman Darrell Frampton felt it would be better to find an applicant who had had training at the Police Academy and pay him a higher salary. Salary for replacement for Mr. Williams will depend on experience, the council decided. Jack Jensen appeared before the city council to further discuss his findings about the property known formerly as the Shelley Irrigation Co. After some discussion Mayor Johnson stated he would an-swer the letter to the Small Business Administration on their request for a variance on the building, stating that a variance would be given on the former Shelley Irrigation Building and on the three acres of land adjacent thereto when petition for a business that is agreeable is submitted to the city council and which is also agreeable to the people in that area. .Mayor Johnson reported he and Douglas Johnson had visited with an attorney who had indicated he would be able to act as Lindon City Attorney but that his Wednesday evenings were already taken. Due to calls from Justice of Peace Keith Anderson and from Chief Jolley and on other recommendations, John C. Backlund had been contacted and retained as Lindon City attorney. An employment agreement from Mr. Backlund was reviewed and signed. Mr. Backlund had asked for a (Continued on page 5) ; '. - ; t rz t ' - .' : SARA JENSE Appointed by Governor SaraJenseOn Committee for Center for Arts Sara A.
