The grave opening and costs for went e Sown from $215 to $200. Double-dee- p grave openings and closings will be $200 for residents for 0 the first opening. The cost for non-- r residents will be $400. The city has e already sold a number of double-dee- p grave sites. The city does not encourage the double-dee- p sites because it is more dangerous to dig f Ihem. Grave opening and closing fees for infants graves will raise from $35 to $50 for residents and will stay the same at $100. Families will be allowed to dig infants graves if they would like to. Ashes of those who have been cremated usually are placed under a headstone and the recording is required as in all graves. The fee is $50 for residents and $60 for non residents. The fee to disinter an infant is $125 and it is $250 for adults. An extra fee of $50 will be cont-inued for Saturday opening and closings to pay for overtime of cemetery personnel. P8: Opening and closing fees can be paid in advance and no additional charges will be made even though prices may rise in the future The city council noted that these new fees are still a little lower most than cities. In other action, the city council approved a new plan that has been suggested by the Justice of the Peace for renovation and rental fees of the space being used in the Pleasant Grove Public Safetv Building. Mayor David Holdaway said that Justice Vergil Peterson had suggested that the rent be $650 per month for a minimum of 36 months. It would cost the city about $5,500 to make some alterations which would give the justice's office more space. Mayor Holdaway added that he thought it would be an asset to the city to go ahead and make the alterations. The additional rent would pay for the renovations in three years. The council agreed that a service window could also be made from the hallway into the Justice of the Peace office. They suggested that one of the two interior doors between the Public Safety Building and City Hall be removed to allow for this window. Mayor Holdaway also told the council that Mayor Evans of American Fork had indicated that he would be able to make an offer to the city on the Tri-Cit- y Golf Course around the first part of November. The city has been discussing a possible buyout by American Fork of the city's share of the golf course. The city council reiterated that the front footage fee on the extension of the Manila sewer line will be billed for only up to 150 feet. Anything over that will not cost the property owner, any more, as has been the city policy for the past several years. The council decided that it would not deviate from this set policy. Councilman Lloyd Ash asked if the city council would be in favor of burying a time capsule under an area of the new city library. The capsule could be dug up in a certain number of years. Ash will try to learn if there is any interest in such a plan. Those who would be interested in proceeding with a time capsule are encouraged to notify Councilman Ash. The council formally approved the appointment of Carol Smith and April Harmer as assistant librarians and ReNae Nadesky as a city clerk. The council changed the Nov. 3 city council meeting to Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. in the city hall because of the general election being held on Tuesday. The new metal building which the city was able to acquire will be located near the present city shops. The National Guard unit from Orem will move the building in January and the Salt Lake unit will erect it in April. They need to practice erecting these kind of buildings periodically and this will give them this op-portunity. Kcvicw - Wednesday.

Lindon City Council business Continued from page '' foundry was located in the building Mr. Lee from Giraffics stated there was a small foundry weighing about 90 pounds. It is used lor pouring brass and aluminum Giraffics make signs and does screen printing. Neighbors questioned the Com-mercial Zone in their backyard and how it would effect the property v ; k Mr Lee is not proposing any buildings at this time. One third of he properly is commercial and he needs to have it all zoned com-mercial. He is renting space to two other businesses. He will offer a buffer zone and he does not have a noisy business. Legally he could make a roadway now. but is offering a trade-of- f with I he neighbors. They can have the roadway property and he can ex-pand his business. The council stated they do not have any plans for a roadway. In looking over the commercial zoned area, the 500 feet back from State Street zoned commercial has created problems. It needs to be changed to a logical order as it is cutting into businesses. The council decided to grant the request, eliminating the 212 x 50 piece of property to be sold to Mr. Brewer conditional on the sale of the property. City Engineer Dave Thurgood met with the Council and was in-structed to move full speed ahead with the UDAG project on the East side of Geneva Road. Thurgood reported they are working hard to meet the deadline on the debris basin. The debris basin at Squaw Hollow began last week and is more difficult than the Dry Canyon project. They had an emergency at Orem following the all night rainfall. Three feet of water came out of Dry Canyon. The next morning, workers could hear it coming and they got the backhoe and people out and pulled out the forms at the debris basin. The election judges appointed were Marilyn Kunic, Ila Johansson and Merle Jarvis who will serve as Election Judges for Districts 1 and 3 at the City Hall. Linda Preece, Norma Brown and Carol Chidester will serve District 2 - 4 at the Lindon School. rife "V wet cure .

Mrs. Tom (Lucille) Walker of American Fork remembers her husband telling of his experiences hauling the material up Timp for the Glass House. Vivian West was the Forest Ranger in charge. A group of men including Arnold Green and Tom Walker hauled the sheet metal and frame with the help of George Richard's burros. The material was hauled to "Hell's Whirler," a place where the air sucks up through the path from Timpanookee. At that spot, the men would carry the materials to the top. Glass was placed in the upper part of the building, it didn't last long with the extreme winds. It was such a worry to Richards that on one journey they were camped at the Base Campe and George had a dream. He saw one of his burros Chub, with the metal flying into space siding as wings. He always worried that the wind would catch and overbalance the burros and they would fall down the mountainside. They had a difficult time because of the wind and the updraft. Tom talked a lot about Timp and often looked through his binoculars where he could sometimes see people near the top of Timpanogos Mrs Walker stated that a monument was erected to Vivian West by his children and grand-children It was installed at the base Timpanogos Trail. Her husband tribute to West when the Tom, paid monument was erected. Vote For: DJ1VE) For City Council Citizen's Party Be sure to volt' Nov. 3, 1987 MM p fflg |
