j; r And you thought your gas bill was high!!! CAC84 111 EXP. Commission's unhappy The Juab County Commission has a difference of opinion with the Juab Rural Development Agency over how much the county agreed to pay on the natural-ga- s line now serving customers in the East Juab County area. ect Golden Mangelson, gas-prdirector, and Commissioner Jay Morris (Ike) Lunt disagreed at Mondays commission over the terms of the project. Mangelson brought raft of paper to the meeting indicating that the county commission should have known how much they were being asked to pay when the documents were being signed. All we ever agreed to was $600,000 plus the interest, said Lunt. The commissioner saidihe county would not have agreed to more. The commission only was interested in making certain the project was a success and did not expect to make money on the deal, but neither did they expect to pay oj ; The county now is being asked to pay substantially more than the agreed price, said Lunt. The county has been told they are to pay $140,000 a year for seven years, or a total of $980,000. Needless to say, the county commissioners are not happy.

In the public hearing, said Lunt, the people were told they would pay $600,000 plus interest. Lunt said hehad had the county attorney research the documents. He said commissioners had payback so agreed to a to free could be pay for other they pressing county needs after that. One clause, said Lunt, which the county might consider taking advantage is the default clause. It reads: In the event the county agrees not to budget on an annual basis sufficient monies to make the yearly payment, andor fails to make said payments, any Sgt.

Juab County Sheriff Dave Carter said Brent Dean Barron, 30, of Hayden Lake, Idaho, was .picked up following his jail break in Nephi.

In addition, he now has been charged with escape from jail, I auto theft, and damaging county property. Barron, who served a prison sentence in Idaho, has re- -' rased to waive extradition.
