Council Discusses Business Tuesday The City Council met in regular session on Tuesday evening begin-ning at 6:30 p.m. The meeting began at 6:30 to provide time to discuss with interested citizens the proposal to vacate 300 South Street West from 1250 East to the LDS church parking lot. There were no citizens present to discuss this matter. The council voted to vacate the street and to deed it to the LDS church subject to them accepting the responsibility to im-prove this road with asphalt to con-form to city standards and to accept maintance of the road. Lee Wimmer, city engineer, was present to review several matters of business. He presented an an-nexation plat of property to be an-nexed on Sam White lane just west of the existing city limits and on the south side of the road. The Council voted to accept this annexation. The annexation plat of the Wade Springs property was reviewed. The council voted to approve this annexation. The need to replace the old existing water line on Highway 89 from about 300 South to the south city limits was discussed. Mr. Wimmer noted that this work should be done prior to the of the state road so as to avoid cost of paying for repair to the asphalt. The council authorized Mr. Wimmer to prepare the necessary documents to bid the project. The replacement of the 600 West sewer line was discussed. The council voted to investigate the possibility of grant funds to assist in this project. The minutes of the planning com-mission meeting held December 6th were reviewed. The final plat of Terrace Hills Subdivision Plat B was reviewed. The council voted to ap-prove this plat subject to the recom-mendations of the planning com-mission. The recommendations, regarding the proposed annexations to the north and west of the city were reviewed. The council discussed the proposal to place the historical marker previously located on the state high-way to the Central Park located on 200 South. It was noted that the State is attempting to get all of these type signs off of their right of ways and is asking the city to find a new location for this particular sign. The council felt that this sign would be appropriately located at the new park. Mayor Haynie reported on the recent decision of the county and cities to discontinue the Council of Gover-nments as previously established. He indicatd that it was his opinion that this move will hurt the smaller cities as equal representation in the new organization will be more difficult. The mayor also noted a decision which Utah Power and Light officials had established which would eliminate the company's par-ticipation in providing the power for the cities Christmas lighting programs. This action being taken because of the pressure applied by government agencies and special in-terest groups. The council voted to adopt a resolution to express ap-preciation to the company for this service which has been provided in the past and to request that the company continue to provide this power for the community Christmas lights. Members of the local business development corporation were present to view a 3lide presentation presented by a new industry looking for building sites in the north end of the county. After the presentations, the group felt that this was a desirable company and would assist in helping to find property on which the company could locate.

First Presidency Gives Christmas Message, 1 978 The first presidency, governing body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, has issued the following message for Christmas, 1978. "When the angel of the Lord declared to the shepards in the fields of Judea, 'fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people,' he sent a message of hope and truth resoun-ding through the centuries to our day; '"For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord'. If our Christmas this year is to reflect the sacredness of that first Christmas, we to, must know and declare the devine sonship . of Christ. "This Christmas and each day in the new year before us let us talk of Christ, preach of Christ, and pray to God in the name of Christ, in order that we, our children, and all man kind may be influenced and blessed by the divine Son of God whose birth we celebrate at Christmas time. Let us each individually and with our families reverently bring the teaching of the scriptures into our daily living they proclaim that the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not, and to worship him with all our might, mind and strength, and our whole soul. "If we will do these things we then will eagerly and gratefully join in the joyful anthem, 'glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward man,' that filled the heavens" at the birth of Jesus Christ. Then we will contemplate and conduct our lives and mend our ways when needed, so that, indeed, a promised peace, and good will of Christmas may be ours now and forever. That all man kind may do so and rejoice in the redemtive mission of Jesus Christ is our fervent Christmas prayer and blessing.

"TRAILS END" Mark Einerson admires his casting which won him a certificate and $150 in recent Pine Valley Art Assn. art contest. Mark Einerson Award Winner At Colorado Art Assn. Show Mark Einerson, local banker and artist has been signally honored this fall.

It is cast in bronze, and after a number of castings are made the mold will be destroyed.

Chief Reports Crime, Says Watch Accidents Twenty-seve- n accidents occurred in the month of November, with the property damage at approximately $22,300. The intersection with the most accidents for the month of November is State Road and Center. Wednesday is the day the most accidents occurred with Thursday and Tuesday being second and third. Vandalism increased 75 in November. Burglaries of cars, houses and apartments generally increase during December, Chief Mike Ferre' warns. "People are aware that most homes and apartments contain gifts and new merchandise at this time of year, making crimes of theft more attrac-tive. When a person leaves his home or apartment during the day or evening he should leave all the doors and win-dows secured and locked, Ferre' said. "It's also wise to leave a radio or TV playing to give the impression there is someone at home. "Don't give out information to persons on the telephone who claim to be participating in a survey of ap-pliances or items purchased as Christmas gifts," he said. "Report to law enforcement officers any strangers who may be loitering in apartment complexes or the neigh-borhood, as well as all questionable activity." The serial numbers of all applian-ces should be recorded and stored in a safe place so they can be used later to identify an item in case it is stolen, Ferre' said. "Without the record of a serial number, it's awfully hard for local officers to identify a stolen item and return it to its owner. Pleasant Grove Police Depar-tment has engraving equipment to mark appliances and identify them. This equipment can be checked out on a temporary basis at no cost. These suggestions not only apply during the holiday season, but throughout the year. The Pleasant Grove Police Depart-ment wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year. |
