Show FARMINGTON - A county computer programmer has received the go-ahead to travel to Oregon in an attempt to sell comDUter orograms. THE DAVIS County Commission Com-mission gave its nod of approval Tuesday afternoon to the trip by Boyd Pope, an employee in the county clerk's office. He will go to Redmond, Ore. to meet with , Crook County officials considering con-sidering purchasing com- puter programs for use on Burroughs equipment similar to what Davis County uses. " He will leave Oct. 30 and return the night of Oct. 31 with trip cost to be covered in the computer program package if Crook County purchases it or paid separately separ-ately by that county if the plan is rejected, Mr. Pope told the commission. HE WILL OFFER the Oregon officials four basic programs developed by Davis County including one for taxes and voter registration. Amount the county will receive depends on which programs, if any, Crook County accepts. In contracts prepared for signature by the commissioners, commis-sioners, the county is absolved ab-solved of responsibility if Pope's programs should not prove satisfactory.
