Returning, to the council April, Holbrook sought approv al again, this time for a PRUD, or planned residential unit development, under Housing and Urban Development guidelines. Although HUD would like at least 24 of the proposed 72 units started initially, Holbrook worried that the market might not absorb 24 at one time. Instead, he plans to begin with four, preselling the remainder from a model home. To facilitate his proposal, Holbrook asked the council to remove his five lots from the subdivision, eliminate lot lines, aqd vacate one road. With those concessions, he could develop the plot as an entity with larger STEELI Ravlaw Corre pendant SUNSET Sunset landowner David Holbrook was once again in the talking stage with the towns governing body, .in negotiating plans for developing five lots he owns in the RoyDale Subdivision No. 2. This time PRUD seemed to be an effective password in gaining the City Councils approval. Located in the far southwest part of the city and bordered by Roy and the Union Pacific Rail--, road tracks, the land had been the Subject of controversy in recent years. Just last year, when Holbrook proposed a plan to establish a mobile home park on the site, he met opposition from neighboring property owners who protested that the park would devalue their homes and increase traffic congestion.

Officer Gives Tips Make Homes More Secure ; By SHELLEY KANCITIS Review Correspondent The only foolproof way to protect your home is to open the door and throw a hundred rattlesnakes inside, said George Cummings, community relations officer for the Roy City police department. R0Y ; Since most people prefer more practical methods of home security, Cummings suggested using traditional techniques such as exterior and interior lighting at night and high quality window and door locks. ; He also thinks some new crime prevention devices are useful in supplementing existing protection. One is a device Cummings demonstrates in home security presentations. It is a light switch activated by sound. It costs about $35. The device is installed in place of an ordinary light switch. If someone attempts to break into a house, the noise activates the switch and the light goes on. In a recent rash of suburban vandalism-burglariethe pera stone threw petrators through glass windows or doors. If nothing happened to indicate people were home, the burglars broke into the house. In cases like this, a sound sensitive light switch might prevent a burglary, he said. By setting a timer on the device, it can be programmed to turn on the light after a predetermined interval. The timer then resets itself for continuing use. It can be adjusted for sensitivity since the sound of a dogs toenails on a tile floor is enough to activate it. Cummings also believes the type of timer sold in hardware stores is effective. It is attached to a wall socket and can be set to turn lights on and off at specified intervals. They are especially useful when people go on vacations. Several timers can be set to turn on lights in different areas of the house when it gets dark, making the house appear occupied. Another new. device is a travelers alarm which also acts as a smoke detector. It resembles a small box and can be hung over the top of a door. If an intruder rattles the door, a loud alarm goes off. A woman who lives alone, or whose hus-- . band works at night, could use it on exterior doors or her bedroom door, Cummings said. Cummings says the cheapest alarm is already found in many a dog. A barking dog houses can be a real deterrent because a burglar never knows if he is vicious or not. For pepple who cannot have a dog, Cummings recommends recording a nasty sounding d bark on tape.' Using the light, a handy homeowner can arrange it so sound-activate- the tape automatically plays if activated by noise. Cummings does not recommend a full house alarm system for the average homeowner. You have to figure the cost of the alarm system versus what you are trying to protect. For most' people, it is not cost effec- re common-groun- three incremental stages.
