Business began with Mayor Haynie reporting that it may be necessary for the solid waste district to change landfill locations from Spanish Fork to Lindon because of the problem negotiating an acceptable lease payment on the landfill property with Spanish Fork City. He noted that the Lindon landfill site can be used for about another four months and then the most likely site would be the clay pits west of Lehi. A meeting of the district will be held soon to determine what course of action will be taken in this matter. The Mayor also reported a desire to hold another public information meeting with local citizens to inform the local residents of various matters, including solid waste.

Adams Releases Study on United Order Pleasnt Grove residents will be in-terested in a study just being com-plete and ready for publication at the BYU entitled "An economic History of the Pleasant Grove United Order, 1874-1880.- " Few of the current generation, because of the scarcity of historical accounts may be aware that the United Order operated successfully in Pleasant Grove for six years (1874-1880- ) with several holdings being retained unti 1892. This study should prove interesting especially to those residents who ancestors lived in Pleasant Grove during the United Order era. Funding for the study was provided by the Associated Students of BYU under the direction of Dr. L Dwight Israelsen of the BYU Economics Department. John A. Adams, a four-yea-r Honors student and a President's appointee under-took the study. He has spent about 5 months researching his assign-ment using all historical resources available as well as having personal interviews with older residents who might have memories or records relating to the project. Leonard J. Arlington. LDS Chur-ch Historina accepted the work with these words which he addressed to Dr. Israelsen: "I have now read "An Economic History of the Pleasant Grove United Order, 1874-1880- " by John A. Adams, a student of yours at BYU. I find the paper well resear-ched, fair, balanced, interesting and an important contribution. I find no objection to the use of the material in it, and hereby approve its place-ment in the BYU Library and any other depository or depositories that you and he may agree upon." ill DAVID L.
