Garden Perform In Annual Show Further Insight into the proposed street numbering system for Midvale city was given to the Midvale city council at their regular meeting held Wednesday night at the city hall when Harry Wright; city engineer outlined plans for the renumbering task that the city is planning to undertake as soon as weather conditions permit A Beckstead, acting mayor in the absence of Mayor A Nelson, was in charge of the meeting.

Mr Wright recommended that where street names and numbers have not already been established that the numbering system be made universal with the intersection of Main and Center streets as the focal point The board felt that inasmuch as many streets have old established names they should bear said names together with the new numbers, thus maintaining the dual address until the numbering system becomes the exclusive pattern for the city. Thus the city engineer was authorized to proceed with the approval of the local planning board. An application was made by Stan James for franchise to operate 15 taxis in Midvale city. The matter of a franchise, according to Ben Bagley, city attorney, involves many things, and it was decided to table the matter until a more clear picture could be presented to both Mr James and the city in this matter. Chief of Police Marcell Graham reported on a sanitary inspection tour of the Midvale eating places, and according to his report, said establishments are in excellent condition in respect to cleanliness and sanitation.

Chief Graham also reintroduced the matter of board for prisoners at the local jail, and whether or not a fixed amount should be made for such costs. The board felt that fixing a set amount would not be too wise, and finally decided that the mat ter be left to the discretion of the police department. In other matters pertinent to the meeting the council rejected the application of the West Jordan Cab company to operate in Midvale as the application read, and passed a motion to pay the Boy Scout Troop 118 $50 for distributing handbills throughout Midvale recently. Lawrence Mineer, city recorder, said that the council also voted to thank A A Larson, city superintendent of water street departments, for the job done in -keeping the streets clear of snow during the extremely bad weather recently. He said the city officiafs were aware of the almost superhuman task which faced street workers.

The two men left Alta Airpark Sunday to fly to the ranch check on Arthur Shirl Allen, unreported at the ranch for several days. The four men ploughed their way to Elberta finally to Pay-son where they made bus connections for Salt Lake.

Yesterday morning Millerberg was back at his business Ennis had returned to the ranch. The Allen men did not come all the way to Salt Lake. The fliers landed in a small ski equipped plane were taking off when one ski hit a sand dune, rolling the ship over on its nose. The propeller was bent which prevented further efforts to get back to civilization. Efforts were made Monday to rescue them by Robert Madsen and Ray Brimhall co-managers of Alta Airpark but since the vie-tkns had stamped a message in the snow that they were unhurt the idea of dropping a new propeller to them was abandoned as" impractical.

Contact was difficult with th stranded men since there is no phone at the ranch. The plane had a radio but it was not usable. "Our battery was dead," Gene explained. "That's why we could not radio a message back." "We graded a runway," he added, "in hope that we could take off or a rescue plane could land. We had damaged one ski when we first tried to take off had planned to try a take off without them on the dry runway." "I sure want to thank everyone for being so concerned about us." He said that at no time was he hungry or cold.

There was sufficient food St shelter at the ranch for all. "But tramping that message in the snow," he concluded, "sure wore us out. The snow was up to our knees it took a long time."
