V Logan Utah Sunday November feel badly pursuing matter which occurred before my time in office 1 would hope that Mrs Clay would come Letters to the editor into (Continued from page 10) have voted for every budget increase for every rate and service for every increase salary increase and they have voted for a rash of stupid projects such as Botanical the Garden on South Main which has cost ap$400000 proximately ed Wouldn’t volunteering to do so seem like a more Logan they set themselves up as a private corporate entity to intentionally circumvent the right of the people to a bond election for several million dollars (for a city service center) The council chairman has consistently tried to pervert the law regarding the optional form voted for by the public and tried to impose his own form of government upon the people of Logan The policy has been spend spend spend and have sera practically restraint How long are we going to tolerate this kind of policy and how long are we going to continue to elect and people with this kind of we no re-ele- philosophy? I hope the citizens of Logan will be smart enough to put Carol Clay back in office She is always informed she is prepared she knows the issues and she has the guts to say no when it is necessary Look at your monthly billings and ask yourself do we need a change? Let’s replace the liberal with a strong conservative who will help us to slow this spending spree down Vote for Carol Clay Darwin W Larsen Logan Many times I have felt that Carol Clay's letters to the editor deserved an answer just to let the public know the other side of the story In early 1976 the Logan d newly-forme- Council Municipal questioned the old city commission's trade of certain real property I have advice my regarding that transaction reviewed I therefore thought it best to assist them hoping to generate a feeling of mutual trust and good will between the two newly-forme- d branches of government So I volunteered to allow the use of monies out of city attorney's but cautioned that the Municipal Council's business was legislative and that so long as they remained in that role and directed their activities toward view To the Editor: declaratory judgment suit brought against Mayor Anderson by Carol Clay Darwin Larson and Loye Mar-tlnda- le Anderson contended that the Optional Forms of Government Act was patterned after the and state and provided for complete separation of powers as related to the city council and administration federal This ni concept was brought to light when you and others spent $130000 in city funds reviewing making and policy Mrs Clay I agree with your contention that the city council should seek legal advice They have an excellent attorney available at all times who is employed by the city I disagree with the idea that the city council or any of It’s members be allowed to spend the taxpayers' money in an improper manner You have voiced concern that we should be open in Logan city government I agree and ask you publicly to recognize the facts in this issue The issue comes from an appeal to the Utah Supreme Court of a ruling rendered on the the ad- ministration's real estate actions The Utah Supreme Court ruled in favor of the separation of powers concept Justice Hall wrote the opinion representing the action and ruled: "The final point to be considered herein is the propriety of the expenditure of city funds for legal services rendered to the Council to set aside prior sales of real property by the Having found Mayor as we have that the Mayor In fact has that power it follows that the award of the attorneys fees must be reversed and we so hold" Carol this ruling was in response to your actions instigating the suiL Haven't you done your homework or are you Ignoring the facts? 1 am sure that the city and all other parties Involved have a copy of that ruling and would surely WallerN Nickel Mayor Future time-consumi- of chaos? lawsuit legislation they would be safe However everyone soon found that what everyone suspected was in fact true: Mrs Clay and at least one other council member were determined to do everything they could to effect a redsion of the trade The act of rescinding a real estate transaction is not a legislative act This I told Mrs Clay and others on more than one occasion the Utah When Supreme Court decision was handed down which reversed the District Court’s spproval of the expenditure dearly To the Editor: hope that Mrs Clay's recent experiences have convinced her that she can be wrong too and that perhaps she should listen to the opinions of others with a more open mind This is to thank you for the coverage you gave me in The Herald Journal's voters guide and for your attention to the ads I placed It surprises me to find that present J Blaine Zollinger Logan City attorney (Editor' note: Mr Zollinger's letter exceeds our ISO word limit We

irritation the same way highly placed males never have creases in their trousers is one of crashing depression These rich gentlemen of gloomy mien and despairing expression haven't been brought low by the recent downward swoop in the Dow Jones Industrials They are used to such fluctuations What has them dispirited to the point of silence is the flow of announcements in The Wall Street Journal: Exxon up 118 percent Mobil up 131 percent Sohio profits up nearly 200 percent "This is worse than the time we did those hippopotamus commercials" says Fiend alluding to an incident the others around the table would have preferred to forget As stockbrokers they had not chosen their advertising agency well and had consented to the creation of a company logo which depicted the Peril Squinch Sinner

Gross TEL AVIV Israel (UPI) — It is said in Israel that for every two Jews in a room there are three opinions So it came as no surprise when a new political party formed last month It is to the political right of Prime Minister Menachem Begin appealing to a vocally demonstrative segment of the population that opposes returning the occupied Arab territories and favors widespread Jewish settlement of those areas Called Techiya which translates as Renaissance the party is viewed as a definite treat to Begin's ruling Likud bloc and its major coalition partner the National Religious party in an election contest The Renaissance Party was born amid calls for new elections coinciding with the fact that Begin's hold over his government has weakened considerably since he came to power 28 months ago low Begin's popularity is at an all-tidespite the major foreign policy accomplishment of his administration — the agreed that the correctness of hiring counsel to review and rescind real

stop making quarterly announcements The trick is npt to let the numbers pile up so we don't have those devastating jumps We can get around 1919 percent increases by announcing profits daily A 191 percent quarterly increase is only two and a half percent a day With an inflation running at 13 percent anybody literate enough to read The Wall Street Journal can figure out that we're losing 11 percent a day which should qualify us for a federal loan guarantee" "But what do we need a loan for when we've got all those profits?" asks Fiend who despite his moniker is the honest one "Companies intelligent enough to lose money the right way keep their profits to themselves and use the government's money for a new investment” Peril explains in a supercilious kindergarten post-Wor- ld
