Show Officials Feel Water Development Develop-ment In Canyon Feasable with additional bills were allowed. The matter of the issuance of tax sale certificates against property sold for the delinquent paving tax as of February 15, 1933, was called to the attention of the council. It was the council's decision that these certificates certifi-cates be made out but not recorded at the present and the recorder was instructed to proceed with the work. A According to the report made by Mayor Warren Anderson before the council at the adjourned regular meeting Wednesday night, December 20th, he and Councilman W. S. Storrs together with Councilman-Ject Councilman-Ject Albert Tregaskis have investigated investi-gated the possibility of further water wat-er development at the gaging station sta-tion springs in the canyon and had come to the conclusion that further work in this vicinity would be of lasting good to the community. The Mayor, Messrs. Storrs and Tregaskis Tregas-kis had therefore made a trip to Salt Lake City and had contacted A. Z. Richards, city engineer, relative to this work. Mr. Richards, they stated, had agreed to make a trip with the council to the tunnel and there would advise them of the best manner to proceed with the work. It was then agreed that the old and new council would investigate this matter with Engineer Richards some time this week. In the matter of the location of the David Davis Service Station, the mayor reported the state as being willing for the station to be located in approximately the same position but suggested that the county, state and city officials get together with a common understanding as to the prospective location of the same. No action will be taken until a contact can be made with the county. . City water superintendent Lenard Pett reported that all project work until February 15, 1934, should be in the county office by December 21, 1933. The working out of further projects was therefore referred to the committee for action. Chief I. L. Pratt made a report of county fires answered by the city department together with the valua- tion of the apparatus as had been submitted by the county auditor. Chief Pratt further reported there had been but nine fires in the city with a loss of approximately $300.00 or about 10c per capita loss which was much less than the state average. aver-age. Chief Pratt felt a public report re-port of this splendid work should be made. He requested the serious consideration con-sideration of the replacement of the present chassis of the fire truck as the present chassis was out of date and hard to supply with extras. A number of other changes were suggested sug-gested but inasmuch as the new administration ad-ministration will soon take office, no action was taken. In keeping with a request from the auditing committee, relative to the audit of the city records for the calendar years 1932 and 1933, bids were received from five parties. The bid of Elma Peters, the lowest of the five, was accepted and the auditing audit-ing committee was asked to so notify noti-fy Mr. Peters. Inasmuch as the meeting was, called as a hearing of the 1934 bud-j get an ordinance entitled "An Ordi-, nance Making Appropriations for the, Support of the City Government for) the year 1933" was considered.
