He added that although he had not tesearched the minutes to be sure the allegation was true, several Manila-are- a residents had indicated flat they were told by a Previous city council that they would not be forced to hook on to the sewer when Hey asked for annexation to pleasant Grove. Mr. Wimmer stated that the situation had changed considerably since the area was annexed because fle past two or three years have been so wet which has created the high ground water problem there JOW. The high ground water has in turn treated problems with the septic tanks in portions of northwest Pleasant Grove, causing some to fail. The laterals and "YV will be installed at city expense and a determination will then be after made talking to the city attorney to see if the people will be given notice that they will be required to hook up within a certain number of years. The area involved includes 1100 North to about 1500 West and 1800 North from Manila School to Cascade Meadows Subdivision. Jonco Construction is presently placing the sewer line in those areas as part of the sewer line installation project being funded by a Com-munity Block Grant totaling $150,000. The sewer line is being extended into Firwood and Cascade Meadows Subdivision as part of a Special Improvement District being financed by the residents of those two subdivisions. Mayor Holdaway reminded the city engineer that the council had previously told the few property owners involved that they would not have to hook on to the sewer. The engineer has encouraged the people to hook on so that the roads do not have to be dug up again and again when each property owner decides to hook up. The decision to go ahead and place the laterals at city expense will alleviate this problem. The city will recoup its expenditure when the property owners do hook up to the sewer in the future.

A M i Fifth grade students from Central Elementary, Jenny Pymm, 10, and Ryan Carter, 10, told what they liked about the Pleasant Grove Review. Sixth grade students from Central Elementary School, Matt Gover, 11, and Mary Hill, 11, answered question on National Newspaper Week. Students express views on newspaper By CINDY LLOYD This week of October 7 through 13 is National Newspaper Week! Yea! Hurrah ! As part of our recognition of this week we decided to ask students of Pleasant Grove's Central Elementary School what they liked about the Pleasant Grove Review newspaper. The following replies are from the fifth and sixth grade classes: Kelly Adams, 11, Steve Conder, 11 and Kelly Anderson, 10, all said they do not read it. Why don't they read it? Do their parents keep it under lock and key? Do they burn it in the fireplace? Or, heaven forbid, are the children just not interested in reading it? (No, that couldn't be!) Mary Hill, 11, said, "I like about the kids and the sports sections." And then she said, "It's okay." (Thank You!) Ryan Carter, 10, shrugged his shoulders and laughed. Cary Cook laughed and said, "I don't know. (I didn't know the question was so funny.) Matt Gover said, "I like the sports section and stuff like the contests, big pumpkin contests like they had last year and the pictures. It's all right." (Thanks again! ) When I asked Elaine Mattenson, 11, if she liked the articles she nodded, "I like the articles." I asked if she liked anything else about the paper, she said "Nope." Cassy Bone, 11, and Derek Taylor, 11, both like the comics ! Scott Tingey, 10, said, "I don't know." And Danny Schoonover, 11, said, "Sports, I don't know." What's with the I don't knows? By this time I fell in love when Andy Fisher, 11, said, "I like the local news. I like to hear about what is happening around town." Oh joy! Joy! Julieanne Turner, 12, said she liked the "Comics and Dear Abbey." (Dear Abbey? Perhaps we should have a Dear Marcella!) Thanks kids! City maintains indigent burial policy At the suggestion of the Pleasant Grove City Sexton, the Pleasant Grove City Council decided to keep he present city policy on burying at city expense the bodies of those who cannot afford burial costs. The city council did state that each case would be reviewed in-dividually. The sexton said that the city has such a case arise very rarely. He said that he knew of only four pauper graves at the present time. Councilman David Dickerson said that the sexton reported one incident where the family said they could not afford to bury the individual and so the person was placed in the cemetery at county expense. Later the family had a fine monument put on the grave. Road project to improve 1100 North Mayor David Holdaway told the Pleasant Grove City Council that he had been assured at a recent meeting of the Mountainlands Association of Governments that Pleasant Grove was scheduled to receive funds in 1987 or 1988 for improvements to 1100 North. The mayor noted that the project will extend from 1300 West to 100 East Street and will include curb, gutter, asphalt and covering of ditches. .......... A " ': ' r.The project is expected to cost about $1 million. The mayor noted that about $50,000 will be spent for in 1985. This cost is over and above the $1 million allotted for the project, he explained. At or near the same time 1100 East in American Fork to the State Road 89 will be done, Mayor Holdaway reported. The 1100 North project has been on the list of priorities for several years now and the city is eager to have the work done. They said they would like to have sewer laterals in place and other work installed so that the new pavement would not have to be torn up to put pipes in the roadway. The project will be paid for by the State of Utah from Federal Urban Access Funds, Mayor Holdaway said. In other action the city council authorized the mayor to sign a proclamation declaring this week as National Cosmetology Week. In addition, the council approved a beer license for Ivan Walker's gas station on the State Road 89 in Pleasant Grove. The council was told that the Board of Equalization must, by law, consist of three city council mem-bers or the city recorder, city at-torney, city engineer or public works director. At the last meeting of the council it was decided that the Board of Adjustments plus one councilman would serve as. the Board of Equalization, but this is not legal. Geneva Rock Products will lay 30 feet of top soil to line up the lawn with the road in the new cemetery. The sprinklers will have to be moved and the lawn Eagles receive OK for convention parking Pleasant Grove City Council gave the Pleasant Grove Eagles Aerie permission to use city property for parking during the Eagles Conv-ention slated for May 17, 18,19 of next year. Buzz Moss, representing the Eagles, asked if they could tell those planning to attend the state conv-ention that they could park their RV's at the rodeo grounds. He said that quite a large number of people would be attending and that there was not enough space at the Aerie Home for the RV's to park. Noting the many contributions that the Eagles have made to the city, the council members said that they would check the schedule and if the rodeo grounds parking lot was not available they would find another location for the RV's to park. They felt that at that time of year there should not be a conflict unless the high school rodeo was at that time. One councilman noted that perhaps a fee of $1 should be charged for use of the property for liability reasons. Councilman David Dickerson was to check on the scheduling and let the Eagles know if it was all right to use the parking lot. Youth hurt in accident Two young men were injured, one seriously, Sunday night when the motorcycle they were riding struck a barbed wire fence at Proctor Lane and Sam Whites Lane. According to Sgt. Don Aucoin of the Pleasant Grove Police Depart-ment, Shawn Bath, 16, American Fork, and his passenger, Cory Heaps, 18, Provo, were traveling north on Proctor Lane (6800 West) . On the south east side of the in-tersection the road jogs in and narrows. Not familiar with the road, the motorcyclists traveled straight ahead where the motorcycle struck the fence, knocking out three rows of the barbed wire. Both youths were taken to American Fork Hospital by Pleasant Grove Ambulance where Cory was treated and released. Shawn was treated and transported to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where he was listed in serious but stable condition with a hairline skull fracture, a fractured jaw and a broken hand. bailie's aato ysr&tsf T nnMTTn 1-- 15 PHONE 225-922- 7 f I (Just off the Freeway) f f ( T VnjRE WORK 24 HOUR SERVICE mmMmm j.
