P ' If permission can be obtained shj v Bellon said, the next well ,' be drilled on Indian land just across the road straight east of the present well. However, How-ever, if the Uintah and Ouray agency does not approve of drilling there, the next well will be drilled close to the present well on land owned by Winifred Wini-fred Long. The first well was also drilled on Mr. Long's property. pro-perty. Just how many wells the city will drill aie dependent upon the final results of the next well. Mr. Bellon said it is possible the city may have to drill three wells to insure an adequate water supply. The citx is also negotiating with Indian agency officials for the use of emergency water from the canal just east of the present well, now being used to supply water to Ft. Duchesne. It was suggested Tuesday morning morn-ing at a meeting between city and Indian agency officials that the city acquire water from the Dry Gulch Irrigation Co. and store it in the canal, where it will then be pumped to Roosevelt. Roose-velt. If acquired, this water supply sup-ply would only be used in an emergency to supplement well water. The city council decided Monday Mon-day night that another well will have to be drilled, as expected, and reached a agreement with Mr. Long for drilling to start immediately on his land. ' The concensus of opinion among councilmen was that well drilling should be pushed, and that no steps be taken toward a pipeline until it is certain there is sufficient water avail-abe. avail-abe. . - W. Russel Todd, chairman of the Union high school board, j met with the council in regard j to an agreement whereby sewage sew-age from Union high school could be channeled from the high school to the city's dis- j posal plant. He estimated it would cost the school board I about $5,800 to make the necessary neces-sary connections. The alternative alterna-tive solution, he said, would be construction of a septic tank. After discussion, the council turned Mr. Todd's request over to the sanitation and public , health committee for consider-' ation. Because of numerous com- plaints from tourist park owners own-ers and residents, the council nulif ied its decision of last week, and banned the sale and explosion of firecrackers within with-in the city limits until July 3. Last week the council ruled that it would allow the shooting of firecrackers Drovided they were not used maliciously, at night, or to disturb the peace. The council also authorized Marshals Carl Hacking and Reese Timothy to arrest owners of all cars equipped with "smit-ty" "smit-ty" mufflers, or extensions on mufflers which emit disturbing noises. The council also (l) granted a taxi license to Edward Davis, (2) announced that 1950 bills for business licenses will be mailed out shortly, and (3) leased the city pasture adjacent to the reservoir to Milton Fenn and Max McDonald. |
