HISTORIC HARRISVILLE
Leland Ray Saunders took an active part in petitioning for the city to incorporate. As a result, 52 years ago on April 9, Harrisville became a township and he was appointed as president. After a special census count, Harrisville became a third class city January 1964, and Leland became the first mayor, serving until 1974. While he was mayor, city officials bought the land for the Harrisville City main Park, and obtained a unit that was
part of a 1942 government housing project and placed that unit on a concrete foundation which became the first city hall building at 1350 North Highway 89. The metal maintenance shop behind the first city hall was erected in 1972. Being a building contractor himself, much of the construction equipment used for these early accomplishments was donated by Mayor Saunders. While he was mayor, he also helped obtain a government grant to construct the sewer system throughout Harrisville. Leland Ray Saunders was born in Ogden, Utah on 15 November 1922. His family has been connected with Harrisville since the 1850s. He moved his family to Harrisville in 1957. He continues to reside in Harrisville with his wife of 71 years, Leila Porter, and they have ten children, many of whom also live in Harrisville.

Specific waste containers for regular garbage debris and green waste will be available at the Harrisville Main Park, 1350 N. Highway 89, during the Spring Clean Up for disposal. As part of the spring cleaning this year, we ask you to trim and remove obstructive trees and branches on your property or in the park strip. Trees overhanging sidewalks should be trimmed to the height of 8 feet in order to meet code requirements. Trees overhanging roads are to be trimmed to 16 feet as well. Diseased trees and vegetation should be removed and disposed. Trees or vegetation that obstruct or threaten sidewalks, waterways, culverts, pipes, storm drains, or utility lines should also be trimmed or removed. Our annual community spring cleaning days are a perfect
opportunity to get outside and enjoy the warming weather as we make Harrisville City a beautiful place to live and work. Thank you to everyone willing to help your neighbor or others who struggle to maintain their yards and spaces. We can work together to keep our community safe and beautiful.
