Show Kiwanis Has First Hand Report From Basin Legislators Senator B. H. Stringham and Representative William Brotherson, Broth-erson, who served the people of Duchesne and Uintah counties in the recent state legislature, were speakers at the weekly meeting of the Roosevelt Kiwanis Kiwan-is Club last night. They reviewed re-viewed laws enacted by the 1953 legislature and commented on bills that did not pass. The Senator, who is chairman of the 21-county water council in Utah, discussed the new water law that was passed and signed by the governor that will set up a new organization to fight Utah's water problems as affected in the Upper Colorado River program. "We all know what the Central Utah Valley Project and Echo Park Dam can mean to this part of the state, and we should get in and fight to get those things due us," Mr. Stringham said. He stated this was the first service club to ask for a first hand report, and praised Kiwanis for its interest. Mr. Brotherson discussed the oil bill that failed to be revived from the sifting committee, and announced he had been named to chairman a committee whose responsibility it is to prepare a new bill that might be acceptable ac-ceptable by oil people and land owners for presentation in the '55 session of the legislature. Robert Montgomery, chairman chair-man of the Public and Business Affairs committee of the club, was in charge of the program, and introduced the speakers. Next week the local club will host the Vernal club at a 100 meeting contest. Roosevelt will return the visit later on, and the club having the lowest attendance at-tendance record, will fete the other at a third meeting to be planned later. |
