City Council
Grants New Franchise

The City Council held a special ses-
sion Monday evening and granted the
promoters of the independent tele-
phone company a new franchise. II
differed from the first one in that II
provides for central In Lehi, three
free phones for the city's use, and
prohibits the trimming OF shade trees
without the consent OF the property
owners OF the city. Pleasant Grove
has granted n similar one, but the
American Fork city council 80 far u,
refused to be 80 liberal as her two
sister cities and wants to tack on
some provisions that will give the
old company decided handicap over
the new company. The promoters
say that they can't understand why
American Fork should want 20 sub
ject home company to conditions
so much more stringent than is re-
quired from foreign corporation,
and they intimate that II the Ameri-
can Fork city council continues It's
blocking attitude the project may fall
through. Otherwise It is their iuten-
ton 10 commence work at once on the
new enterprise.

A Neglected Pleasure

For pure children's enjoyment, un-

than to take them for a weeks camp

long, with gentle sandy slope OF
into the water for bathing, a bunch
OF big willow trees for shade and q
grassy plot for the Riddles to romp on.
When you add to this a row boat and
raft for them to dive from, Il forms
a combination that fills the soul OF any
child brim full and running over.
Several families during the past sew
eral weeks have taken advantage OF
Mr.. Southwick's generosity and pitch.
ed their tents there for week at
time.
Some have suggested that the /.
should buy a strip, say fifty acre
along the lake shore from A, b. An

low trees and use II for public pur-
poses. Willow trees seem to thirty,
abundantly in this damp low land
and attain a size OF three feet In dia

that the county still owns a continu
alton OF the road leading south from
the City Park, also a continuation to

II this be true at least these three
roads should be opened for the pul
