Bureau of Kocla.ma.tion and-Cenlr- Utah Water Conservancy District officials have said no to a proposal made recently by the favors of north Utah County that would modify existing plans for two giant aqueducts currently planned to transport water north from Provo Canyon. The mayors, operating as the Timpanogos Planning and Water Management Agency (which they ormed to raise a united voice in their jpposition to certain portions of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project), proposed an alternative to each 4 of tne planned Jordan jqueduct and reach 3 of the Alpine iijueduct. At present, plans call for these two lipelines to slice a 130-fo- pathway trough the cities of north Utah jounty. dissecting Pleasant Grove ind Lindon and causing fears in the icrthern cities of future interference rilh local water supplies. The alternate plan suggest using the existing Provo Reservoir Canal (Ivlurdock Canal) to transport CUP water to Salt Lake County - an idea that eliminates the need for acquisition of any new rights of way since the BOR already holds rights to the Murdock. The mayors were rebuffed, however, by the BOK and the Water District, who claim the plan is unworkable. But the mayors' proposal is in fact similar to the original CUP plan which called for the use of (he Mur-dock Canal instead of the currently-planne- d aqueduct system. BOK engineer Jay Franson says the plan had to be changed because an agreement could not be reached with the Provo River Water Users Association for joint use of the canal. Although the BOR owns the un-derlying right to the canal, Provo River Water Users have contracted for its use to.convey their water. American Fork Mayor Malcolm Beck said Monday that if the BOR really wanted to simply take the canal right of way away from the PRWU it could. --The BOK could condemn tlwir use," said Mr. Beck. "You bet they could." Mr. Ki anson admits that BOK could lake the canal. "We could condemn the canal - although it is already ours," he said. "But we would be breaking a contract. As soon as we start ed breaking contracts like that we would not be good business part-ners. No one would want to do business with us." Mr. Franson says another problem with BOK's original plan was a question of whether water tran-sported through the canal would meet future national water quality stan-dards. With the federal government holding title to the land under the Murdock Canal, Mr. Beck is skeptical about the BOR's alleged inability to reach an agreement for joint use of the canal. Mr. Beck says, "I don't think it went to the point where they could or could not use the canal. I think it was just a matter of which Continued on Page A-- 2 Six Candidates Vie for Lindon City Offices Lindon City elections Tuesday will feature two candidates for mayor and four four city council seals. J ID ' V f ' ' ? V V ; Ken McMillan Mayor "The new Mayor has a wonderful opportunity to bring the city of Lindon and the people of Lindon back together after some problems of the past," observed mayorial candidate Ken McMillan. McMillan went on to pledge an objective and responsive city government. He believes that every citizen of Lindon has the right to be heard and represented by the city - council. ;a In reference to the layout of the city, McMillan said that he thinks that the city is ideally laid out with ex-cellent commercial, industrial, and Dennis L. Thompson Mayor Dennis L. Thompson, candidate for mayor of Lindon, says that he, as a current councilman, has taken pride in the council's efforts to purchase additional water for future needs, as well as to reduce pumping costs. He said that he has worked to enlarge city boundaries to protect the city's interests, and helped to start up the Lindon Fair again. Thompson, who works at BYU, has served as an assist nat to government and to a U.S. Senator and has worked for the U.S. State Department. He served in the U.S. Army as Captain in the Intelligence Corps. Thompson Lindon Tells Voting Sites Lindon voters were instructed that Districts 1 and 3 will vote at the city hall next Tuesday in the municipal elections while District 2 and 4 will vote at the Lindon Elementary School. These are the same locations used in the primary election held a few weeks ago. City officials urge everyone to vote for the candidates of their choice on Nov. 3. New shop Fills Need Warnick's Wedding Displays of Pleasant Grove has recently opened right next to Ted's barbershop on Center Street near main. The business is unique to the area, and hopes for a good response. Owners of the business, Lynell Warnick and Mary Jones, feel that they will fill a need for the area with (heir philosophy. They will take care of and coordinate everything for the bride that plans to hold her reception in a church cultural hall, or home.' They will provide the catering, backdrops, plants, flowers (by Debbie Gull of Orem), and Photography (by Richard Thayne). This, said Warnick, will free the bride and her mother up from the hum-drum chores to enjoy the day. Lynell commented that they set up and lake down the decorations, and the catering includes bringing it to the reception, but not serving it. This said Lynell, will save the family a lot of money. They will have unique backdrops, and floor-lengt- h table cloths. The table arrangements can be rented, to save the cost of having to buy several of the same arrangement. Best of all, said Lynell, is the fact that they pick up and deliver, which simplifies the whole reception for the family. Also, she said that the bride can take advantage of all the ser-vices, or only part of them. She said that they can get a package deal which will save money, also. Council Candidates on Page A-- 3 residential districts. He believes that each of these districts should be developed in a controlled way that would preserve the rural atmosphere that we all enjoy. He would like to see governments at all levels to tighten their belts, and carefully analyze their budgets, so that inflation, "doesn't steal away from us all that we have worked so ' hard to earn. He promises to represent the people and be as frugal as they would be in the fiscal policies of the city. also served as bishop in the LDS church, and a regional commissioner of the Boy Scouts of America . Thompson is basing his candidacy on the accomplishments of the current mayor and council in tightening up the administration of the city government, responding to citizen needs, and preparing for the future of the city. He stands strongly on maintaining Lindon's rural at-mosphere, including the current land development code and animal rights. Turnbow Wins Town May Self-Destru- ct Cedar Hills Mayor Richard B. Turnbow is campaigning for re-election on a two-plan- k platform that would eliminate his own town and his own job. He is advocating annexation to American Fork where the grass looks a little greener for citizens of his struggling community. Citing the town's battle "against overwhelming odds" since its in-ception, Mr. Turnbow wrote in a proposal prepared for the October 8 debate on the future of Cedar Hills that the situation "has now gone to the point where the interests of the citizenry are adverse to the con-tinuation of the town." He was not alone that night as 34 residents voting in a "straw poll" favored continued annexation discussions with American Fork; only 19 favored remaining a town. That vote, Mr. Turnbow has said, "is reflective of the opinion of the citizenry, and properly so, to continue discussions with American Fork." He adds that if he and his running mate, Don Macpherson, are elected the will view the vote "as a message to the government of American Fork" that annexation is in fact what Cedar Hills wants. Meanwhile, Mr. Turnbow promises to run the town in a responsible and conservative manner - the second plank of his campaign platform. In the statement prepared for October 8, Mr. Turnbow said, "I believe the only significant roadblock to annexation to American Fork is the absence of a strong expression on the part of our citizenry of this move." Mr. Turnbow continues in the statement that he intends to "with-draw or resign" if he fails to suc-cessfully negotiate and complete an annexation to American Fork" on terms favorable to our citizens." Thief Hits 7-- 11 Store An undisclosed amount of money was taken from Pleasant Grove 7-- store on East State Road on October 23. Police has signed a complaint against a suspect, Carl C. Hardy, 22, of Orem, who is a former employee of the store, police said. A warrant for his arrest is being issued, they said. Officer Jim Jones is continuing the investigation.

Alpine School District Audited for Performance State legislative auditors are auditing the Alpine School District to determine how the state's portion of the district budget is being spent. State Rep. Lee Farnsworth a member of a House interim committee on auditing, has said that the results of the audit "will be very important to the citizens, since 65-7- 0 percent of the school district's operating budget comes from the state." The audit will examine how money is being spent and how facilities are being used. According to Farnsworth, Alpine School District has been chosen because it is a large and g district in which a great deal of communication goes on between citizens and administrators. He said the legislature hopes to use it as an example to find exactly what problems exist in other school districts of comparable size.
