According to Mayor Paul Murphy, a special plea is going out to citizens in the city to begin now while the weather is good and get their property cleaned up. Later in the spring a vigorous clean-up campaign will be waged. The mayor announced an-nounced that another culinary water well had been drilled at Leeton and would be ready for testing in the near future. If the tests prove successful, the new well will supplement the city's water supply. George Stewart, was again named city attorney by Mayor Murphy. He has served several years in this capacity. On Jan. 16 the local Lions Club, who for the past several years have been planning and working toward to-ward eventual street marking and house numbering forRoos-evelt, forRoos-evelt, and who last fall completed com-pleted a large portion of the project, asked the city to take over and complete the few remaining re-maining phases of the project. They will finish a graph of the city, showing lots and numbers. A discussion of curb and gutters gut-ters imrjrovement on Plat "E" came in for consideration, and Councilman Kenneth Aycock was appointed to contact engineers engi-neers for further details on the project. Property owners in that area have petitioned for a special improvement district to be completed. The council gave approval for sending a delegate to the Municipal Water and Sewage Workers school in Salt Lake City, at the University of Utah on Feb. 15, 16 and 17. A policy was .adopted by the council regarding proclamations, which when signed and printed in a newspaper, require a publication pub-lication fee. Henceforth, only those proclamations that pertain to city affairs will be signed by the mayor, consequently, the j local paper will not print various var-ious proclamations unless the organizations are prepared to pay the publication fees. The next regular meeting of the city council will be on Monday, Mon-day, Feb. 15, at 8 p.m. |
