Y. NJ. c. A. DIRECTORS
OPPOSE EXCHANGE
Elks May Submit Proposal to
Purchase Building for
100000.

AT tonight's lodge meeting of the
Elks in the club building on state
street, a proposition will likely be sub
mitted for the purchase of the Y, Nj.
c. a. building and grounds on the
southeast corner of State and First
South streets for a consideration OF
100000, the lowest figure at which The
Y. NJ. c.. A. board of directors are will
ing to sell.
When special Elks committee and
the Y. NJ. C. A. directors met yester-
day afternoon TO discuss the question
of n probable exchange of buildings,
the trade proposed was not even con-
sidcrcd by the Y. NJ. C.. A. directors,
who voted that they would not dispose
of the property except by direct sale,
at Il figure not less than S200,00O, IN
cluding building and site.
"'This figure was named upon the
most conservative advice of local real
estate men, said Frank 4. stephens,
one of the directors, last night. With
such sum we could erect building
suitable to meet the purposes and needs
ness and still have sufficient to make
good start with. This decision was
made known to the Elks' committee.
I am unable to say of course, what the
of the lodge members may be,
They meet, believe tomorrow night
So far as any trade Of buildings is con"
cerned. we would not dream of such a
thing"
The action of the board was taken
upon report of n special committee,
composed Of r. B. Porter, Duncan Mac
Vichie and L G, Miller. According 10
officials of the Y. NJ. c. A., no, direct
offer has been made for the purchase of
the Y. NJ. C. A. property at the figure
named, although it is thought such
deal may be consummated in the near
future.

O BENEFIT FARMERS

According 10 Alfred II. Thiessen, sec
rcau, there will be snow survey made
of all the canyons above the water
sheds throughout the state to determine
how much snow water is stored in the
mountains, 1t is the intention of Mr..
'Thiessen TO popularize the method of
j. Cecil Alter OF conducting yearly sur
'veys in Maple Creek canyon, between
.Hobble and Spanish Fork canyons, east
of Springville, so that the method can
be applied in all watersheds in Utah.
For three years Mr.. Alter. observer,
has been conducting snow surveys in
Maple Creek canyon, such surveys be-
ing in every way accurate and reliable.
Information regarding these surveys,
showing the amount of snow in the
mountains which will be available for
irrigation purposes, will be furnished
the farmers.

density taken above the Maple Creek
watershed this spring, according to Mr..

cent more irrigation water stored in
these hills than at the same time last
year, that the compactness Of the snow
is practically the same as it was last
year. and that the ground beneath the
snow contains no frost, as was the con
dition last year. If weather conditions
average the saUe until the close of the
irrigation seaaon as they were last year,
Maple Creek. which is good criterion
as to conditions in nearby mountains,
should supply about one-eighth more
water this season than last year.
