Show 2 Public Meetings Set to Explain Proposed $691,000 Bond Election See the legal notice in this and subsequent papers to see what is proposed to make up the total of the $691,000. Each proposal will be voted upon separately at the election, but some proposals tie in with each other, so that if one is defeated, the other may not be implemented. All city residents are en-couraged to attend these in-formation meetings and make a decision from the facts in-volved as to how they will vote the bond election. The city council of Pleasant Grove City has set the dates of Thursday, July 8 and Tuesday, July 13 for times to meet with the residents of the city to explain the issues on the proposed $691,000 bond elec-tion. These meetings will be held at the Pleasant Grove City Hall and will begin at 7 p.m. The council encourages all citizens of the city to attend this meeting to become better in-formed on the issues. It is proposed by the city fathers to acquire and develop certain properties for various municipal purposes and in order to do so will require issuance of long term bonds. The maximum amount needed for all the projects would be $691,000 but it is hoped that the actual costs will be less than the full amount being requested because of grant-in-ai- d ap-provals and further negotiation of prices. Date for the bond election has been set for Tuesday, July 20. "Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah County" VOL.

Here the cars stack up around the turn. Roundabout Races Going Strong After 25 years of racing all over the United States Don West came home to race in Pleasant Grove last Saturday. He began his local racing career by timing slowest in his class, but the rewards of being slowest is that you get to be first in the race lineup. Howard Sorensen showed every intention of setting a record in the Super Stock class as he burned around the course in time trials for a fast time of 19.4 seconds. Gordon Wright set a record in the Stock class at 20.7. The Modified Dash was first on the program with a tremendous battle between Mike Roundy and Jack Elwell with Elwell inching by and taking the win. The Super Stock dash saw Dave Nelson jump into the lead but Howard Sorensen fought to the end and took the checkered flag for the .f win. iNoiin Rhodes once again captured the Stock Class trophy dash. The Modified Heat Racing brought excitement with Roundy grabbing the lead, but after much dust and spinouts Craig Chynoweth roared to the win. The Super Stock heat was a comedy of errors for Don West as he charged into the lead only to spin out time after time. Danny Houston ran un-challenged to the win. Marv Flatt was out for the first time in his new car gaining ex-perience and learning the way around the track. Robert Newman is really catching on to how to race a dirt car and took one of the stock heat races and Wild Steve Turner took the win in the other. The main event in the Modified Class was 15 laps with Chynoweth leading most of the race. A battle of wits was going on between Elwell and Roundy and after spin outs Jack Elwell wook the win. The Super Stock main was the time for Don West to redeem himself after his spinning heat race. He took the lead from start to finish and showed the tremendous power he has down the chutes but was very very careful in the turns. Fast guy of the day, Howard Sorensen was fighting through the pack and on the last 3 laps made a challenge for the lead, but a spinout was his undoing and Don came home for the trophy. The Stock Main proved to be dusty and wild as cars changed positions and fought for the win. Robert Newman came through for the victory and the program was ended for another exciting and eventful race at Roundabout. PL Grove Chapter FBLA Awarded Top Honors one session of the U. S.
