Show bars numb teflioni sales The limiting of one tavern per square block was discussed informally by the Roy City Council in their workshop session Tuesday. Also the issuing of beer licenses to gas stations was of concern to the council as they looked at Ogden Citys ordinance which bases their decision on gross receipts on food commodities. As sections of the county are annexed into the city, the cost of addding them onto the storm sewer system and whoshould pay the cost was given some input by members of the council Tuesday. With the study presented by City Engineer Byron McGregor last week as to how much per acre it would cost, the council looked at how they should attempt to cover these costs. NORTH OGDEN PASS, Hot Springs and Ogden (shown above in cen- ter of map) was the trail in 1849 of explorer Howard Standsbury in trying to find a shorter route from Fort Bridger to Salt Lake Valley, according to geological engineer of the U.S. Forest Service in Ogden. Standsbury went from the head waters of lost Creek down into the Ogden Valley and Over North Ogden Canyon, but found was not shorter or better road than the one already used. it City Manager Wayne Kimber brought to the council's attention that in August 1975, a committee was established to look at the beer license ordinance and come up with some recommendations. On the whole, lie said they felt that the present beer ordinance was adequate. We basically have the same type of ordinance as surrounding communities, Kimber said, with the council and the police department having to approve every establishment that applies for beer licenses. The only other restrictions that some cities place are the issuing of licenses from 500 to 600 from schools and churches. Ogden City has this restriction, which is also a state statute. They also restrict the number of bars on a particular block to two. South Ogden also tries to limit the number of licenses they issue, but nothing is written down. council he told the founcilman Kail Morns indicated that l.e felt Ogdtn s restriction to two baisper block was a good restriction and "the city should adopt something like that toa oid getting areas such as Mice! 2 5V Mayor Joseph Dawson then said dim it the council passed an ordinance restricting the number of bars to two per blot K. thei e cut lently would lie no conflict as there are only two within th ty not on the same blix'k ' it is adisab!e to restrict tuerns to a certain area of the city or should we look at perhaps one per block to trali.e them through out the asked Councilman Larkin city 1 Patterson Councilman Richard Uhbarn indicated his approval of this idea and suggested that while the number of bars was low, a resolution needed to be written. Councilman Morris said that he would like to see the taverns be dispersed throughout the city with the restriction of one per block. Inis is a good, comfortable time to make some recommendations, Ulibarri said urging the council to come up with an ordinance. I personally can't visualize Roy supporting that many bars.

Ogden Utah pioneer trails traced by GLEN PERRINS North Ogden Old wagon trails and river crossings of Utah pioneers are related by Darius E. Coker, geological engineer of the U.S. Forest Service, who recently helped trace them and river crossings as they came west. "Early days of Ogden and North he Ogden are related in journals, says, in discussing the Lander cut-of- f of the 1857 Oregon trail Lander is the Wyoming city where rails end and trails begin Its interesting what a road will do For example, as you go into Malad, Idaho, there is a Y and one road goes otf to the left and one to the right "That is the way it was in the early days of wagons and stagecoaches The leit road went off and you pointed right toward Bannock Mountamdown Bannock Creek and on down the Snake River Valley and across Poitneul River to Fort Hull. Tins was the original mad north "loiter on, Ben Holladay, who was to know the stagecoach business, decided that it was too rough and he took the right road and that, in the stage days, went over the Malad Divide down into Marsh Creek to Pocatello, which later became the road. was When Captain Standsbury going up there, he took the one to the left of Malad and went over the Bannock Range and called it the most natural highway in the world. Weber Valley Road I think its interesting to know what the roads were like in the early days and what Utah did with the road into Weber Valley and in to Ogden. The road then went on north to North Ogden and on to Willard. The early roads then went on to what is now Willard, Brigham City and past Crystal Springs, then west across Bear River, continues the There Ogden geological engineer. River the Bear on were four crossings used by people going up into Idaho or Montana. The Mormons had only been in this in 1849 and 1850, when the gold seekers came on the way to California. When they couldnt get across the river, one of them remembered that back in Salt area three or four years, Lake City hed seen a boat at the residence of a man named Thomas Jefferson Christensen, who might ferry them across the Bear River. So, they went back and got the ferry called The Mud Hen to ferry them across the Bear River. This worked, but was expensive so they started looking for a ford in' the river and finally found one which they called The Hampton Fod. This has been preserved as a stae station and is a very remarkable spot today. "Also there is the Boise ford which and between Deweyville is Honey ville, which was the junction of the road to Oregon and the road to the gold mines when gold was discovered in 1862 in Montana "The original ferries were later replaced by more substantial ferries Then came the toll roads and every able bodies male over 18 years ot age had to pay a tool tax ot one days labor had to go yearly One day a year, they how Thats mads the on work out and built road the they got "A day's labor in those days was lust in hours at the rate of $1 50 per public mads Charter Granted A charger was granted to a fellow named James Brown giving him the right to take over the roads between Weber and Ogden Rivers, providing he would improve the roads and maintain bridges across each stream. Here were the toll charges: $3. for a carriage or wagon to go across the bridge, $1 for every addition of two animals, $1. for every man and horse, $1 for every pack animal, 25 cents for every loose horse, pack animal, mule, etc., and l' j cents for every sheep, hog, calf, colt or goat, etc. This was the typical fee." Coker says that one trail which has some effect on the Ogden area was the 1849, Howard Standsbury trail in when he was trying to find a shorter route from Fort Bridger to Salt Lake Valley He went trom the head waters of Lost Creek (see mapi dwon into the Ogden Valley and over North Ogden Canyon, but found it was not shorter or better mad than the one already established First Bridge The first bridge over the Ogden River," reports Geological Engineer Coker, "was built by a man named James Brown It cost him $2,HK), and it contained mud, wet brush and willows as fill between the logs. A few years later, in 1855, the East Weber River bridge was built by a Mr. Jacob, who said My structure is so well built it will stand as long as the mountain behind which it is built will last." The roads and briges remained about the same from 1851 to 1869 until the coming of the transcontinetnal railroad and the driving of the golden spike at Promontory on May 10, 1869. The territory then got tired ot toll bridges, and appropriated $1,503, and later $3,000. to build a bridge over the Ogden River, Weber River, and the Bear River week's flag photo is of two service stations located along 1900 West. These two have one thing In common: both have applied for beer licenses in the past few months. The one on the left was given a license and the other ap- plication Tuesday's Nov. 7.

Voter approval of a bond issue will be needed to meet expanding population growth and shifts which have created imbalances. At the by A $2.7 present time South Ogden communities are doing well, especially Bonneville High School which is nearing completion of $1.9 million remodeling project. Plans call for the new areas to be ready for the 1978-7school year. A real need for a new high school in North Ogden area will not come until 1985. Broadly speaking according to Dr. Paul Fawson, research specialist, there is an overall decline at the high school age level while the junior high school population is steadily growing. To build a new high school now would not be reasonable in view of research he said. Cost for a new high school would totaL $11 to $12 million. Projected icnovaiion for high schools would be $4 to $9 million. Thus, the necessity to prioritize needs in determining action.
