43 Second class postage paid October 24, 1974 Ei9ht and a half acres Midvale annexes 7200 S. property Thirty years of service to River-ton and its surrounding communities paid off for H. S. Egbert a few weeks ago when he received the finest reward possible for a community project. Mr Egbert has been a member of the Riverton Lions Club for thirty years and has served the club in almost every capacity, including being president three times.

During his thirty years of service, he has participated in many community projects and has helped the community grow. Recently the Lions decided to clean weeds that had overgrown a sidewalk along 12800 South east of Redwood Road toward the city park. As Egbert worked on the weeds, two kindergarten boys on their way to school saw what he was doing and burst out with, "Oh gee, thanks, thanks!" Shocked by the sudden delight of the kids and a little baffled by the sudden excitement, Mr Egbert asked simply, "Why?" "For cleaning the sidewalks so we don't have to walk in the road on the way to school anymore," replied Chad Randal and Michael Acerson. An excited thank you from two five year-old boys made thirty years of service completely worthwhile for Mr Egbert. area is owned by Francis and Florence Anderson.

The request for the zone change will be sent to the city planning and zoning board. The city council tentatively set a public hearing date for Nov. 19 on the zoning change. The council Tuesday also lifted a moratorium on the construction of multiple unit dwellings that has been in effect in the city. When the moratorium was put into effect, the city count ii felt that the restrict ion could help alleviate sewer problems in the area.

But it is now the feeling of the council that none of the communities thai are connected' the sewer lines are putting any restrictions on development and that with the moratorium the city was shortchanging potential developers. Councilman Phillip C. Kemp reported to the council that the city's application for a federal grant to redevelop the city park has been approved by state agencies and is now being studied by federal agencies. He said that the grant, if approved, will provide $60,000 in federal funds that will have to be matched by local funds. A.
