TWO years has been a resident OF
'ni' city. had all the fingers OF his

mr. Mitchell's left hand was caught.
All the fingers and the thumb were
necessarily amputated.
Mr. Mitchell purchased the Myers

Something Should Be done
To Remedy Poor Mail Service

American Forks mail service, we
believe. is the poorest in the whole
state OF Utah, and some radical
changes are necessary to remedy
he many defects. Every few days
the mails are late, or the mail sacks
are carried on. or they are not
sent down from the Salt Lake Of
flee. or something else has happened.
It's a shame for o city the size OF
American Fork to stand for such
rank cussedness or carelessness, and
we believe the business men and
Commercial Club Of this city could
do all the people great favor. as
well as themselves, by taking the
matter up vigorously and demanding
better service from our public serv.
ants in the mail service.
Thursday, again the morning mails
were carried south. according to the
postoffice people, and Wednesday
morning business house received
important letters from Salt Lake
that were mailed at Salt Lake Mon
day night-36 hours to come 8:
miles.
It's great service. and will con
tinue such until we make a vigoroul
and concerted protest, and It Is Ger.
tainly time we did so.

BOARD LET CONTRACT
FOR ALPINE GYM

The school board met Tuesday In
regular session with all members
present. Mr.. Ware. the architect.
and Mr.. John Hunter were present,
and presented the proposed cuts to
be made in the Alpine gymnasium
building. There were many cuts
proposed, and the architect declared
that they would not make any diff
ference in the value OF the building
and stated that the cuts would make
II possible to erect the building for
the sum Of money available. Mr..
Hunter then proposed to build the
structure for the sum of $13,767.
The school board has $4,000 to build
the building, and II was deemed ad-
visable to give the contract to the
Chapman Nero. Co. for the sum OF
$13,767 The building is to be complet-
ed by January LIST. and work has al

A. r. Overlade was granted q

transportation between the Lincoln
and Pleasant Grove High Schools as
his time IL to be divided between
these two schools.
The matter Of registration fees
was discussed at some length. and
some comparisons were made with
those Of other districts. The registra-
tion fee In this district includes lab
oratory fees. In the Nebo district a
registration fee Of $3.50 Is charged
and at Provo $500 Ii the fee. This
does not include the laboratory fees
In either case. The average labora-
tory fee at Provo is S.. The aver
age in the Nebo district is So, al
though the superintendent Of that
district reports that the fee was not
sufficient to maintain the labora-
tories there.
The school board felt that the
$500 here would not be sufficient
to give all students laboratory cour-
SEES free. no they decided that fee
of $1,000 would necessarily have to
be charged this year.
NJ. 8. Lott was present to discuss
the plumbing and heating for the
Cedar Fort school. No action was
taken, however.
Virginia Smith was released from
her contract and Mrs. Mary Ann
Davis was employed.
Bids were opened for the transpor-
tation Of students. Ben Bates was
given the contract to haul the Alpine
students at $3.50 per month. although
he was not the lowest bidder. but
better Accommodations were provided.
The contracts for the Lincoln dis
trict were let to Niels Anderson OF
