special e le c tio n on the
proposed issuance o f $450,000
in general obligation bonds for
construction o f a new sewer
treatment plant.
The plant would be located
on a selected site about two
miles west of Sandy where
options have already been
obtained on approximately 30
acres of land.
The new facility would
operate in addition to the
present treatment plant which,
constructed in 1952, has been
fo u n d
defective in many
respects by state sanitary
authorities and condemned as
barely adequate for present
loads.
Plans for the new plant are
the result o f a two year

state to do so.

annexation to the city would
be desirable.
The men said the plant
would be the only one o f its
kind anywhere in the U.S. and
as the headquarters and home
o f the parent company, would
be a showcase.
They said they were not at
liberty to reveal the name of

The council assured the
group to its willingness to help
them find a suitable location
and expressed the feeling that
this was the ideal type o f light
industry desired by the area.
Ned Dyal, chairman o f the
Chamber of Commerce’s new
City Beautification Committee
asked the council to enforce
existing ordinances pertaining
to maintenance o f vacant lots,
signs, and junked cars.
He urged that if present
ordinances along these lines
were inadequate that they be
rewritten.
Dyal noted that Sandy was
still operating under its original
charter drawn in 1913 and
suggested it be brought out for
study and possible up-dating
and revision.
