Voter League Gets Legislators' Input ENNY MEYERS Review Correspondent Why as it is now. million. dont constituents call the legislators and let them know they want tax increase rev-- i enues to go towards a better edu-- ; cation system in Utah? said Naomi Shumway at a League of Women Voters Dinner, Jan. 5, in Kaysville. Mrs. Shumway, Republican Representative and a member of the House Subcommittee on Social Services attended the dinner with fellow Republican representative Ute Knowlton. Key point of the discussion was the spending of the proposed tax increase revenues, which would amount to $150 $2,000 1960 dollars. A tax increase, donated totally to education, would add $100 per person to those figures. Knowlton said he wondered if that amount would do the trick. He noted that, it would be a great commitment, and it would be sad if over a period of ten years a billion and a half does not do the trick. Joan Gould, League member, asked Mrs. Shumway which taxes specifically would be chosen to bolster education. Some League members said the disposable diaper and soda pop taxes might be appropriate. Mrs. Shumway pointed out that each tax increase alone does not provide enough revenue to help education. On the issue on diaper tax Knowlton noted that this is getting into the seat of the whole thing but refrained from further Knowlton said he has a master plan for the Utah Education system which would get parents more involved. He said his plan would involve less hours of sports, fewer coaches per school. Knowlton noted that he is not in favor of merit pay in this respect, for it creates an unhealthy competition amongst teachers. He said he wishes to see the entire school, parents included, go for an increase in excellence, which would then be rewarded. Knowlton added that in 1960 comment. it took $274 real dollars per Knowlton then announced that student per year to educate a he would vote down the use of Utahn. In 1981-8- 2 it took $640 real dollars to do so. In inflatthe entire $150 million in tax revenues for the school system ed dollars that would mean Knowlton said that he views the school system as a problem child, which is ignored all year, and then bought off at Christmas with large sums of money. He said he wants to improve the product which would be bought with the taxpayers money, before putting band aids on. -, Commissioner Harry B.

The film is a biography of vaudeville great Eddie Foy and his struggle to raise seven children after his wifes death. Show time begins at 7 p.m. each date and admission is free. The theme of the festival sponsored by the Davis County Library system is where theres hope. Police May Get Raise in Warrant Fees CENTERVILLE The Cen- terville City Council is considering a resolution that would up the amount of pay city police officers would receive to serve warrants while off duty. The officers would receive $40 per warrant served if the warrant is less than 90 days old. If the warrant is 90 days old or more, the officers would receive $40 plus 10 percent of the warrant value if the fine is collected. The additional pay was recommended as an incentive so more warrants can be served and fine money collected. Mayor Neil Blackburn said the city currently has over $50,000 in outstanding warrants on the books which is going up monthly. Warrant money that is collected goes into the citys budget and can be used in the general fund, Blackburn added. Blackburn said the warrants are a problem to serve and collect. Currently the city pays police officers $25 per warrant served, Blackburn said. The $25 is a flat fee regardless of the distance the officers have to go to serve the warrants. The state allows $50 per warrant, Blackburn said. Blackburn said most of the problems city police have had in collecting warrants involve indi- viduals who live outside of the city limits. City police officers would receive no fee if the warrant is served during on duty hours. Centerville Approves Fire Protection Pact The CENTERVILLE terville City Council has approved a cooperative fire protection agreement. The agreement, which has been approved by most fire departments in the south Davis area, will mean the Centerville fire department can respond to fires and emergency situations in other communities in the county without compensation. The Centerville fire department can send equipment and personnel to respond to situations in other communities. Also other communities, under the agreement, could respond to emergency situations in CenterCen- ville. Bruce . Erickson, a new city councilman, noted that some north Davis communities are quite a distance from Center- Blackburn said many of the warrants involve individuals who have left the city. Some go back four or five years and many of the individuals are scattered around the state. He said the city had considered hiring a constable to serve the warrants, but decided to up the fee per warrant served in- - stead. A city police sergeant will Blackburn said, and will furnish a monthly report. City Administrator Mark noted that if the warrant amount is not collected by the city then officers are not paid the $40. Pa-le- sh Public Hearing Will Look At Deuel Creek Solutions CENTERVILLE The Centerville City Council will hold a meeting Thursday to discuss flood control measures along County Planning Director Rick Mayfield said digging of the hole for the basin at the base The neighborhood meeting is open to the public.

But Mayor Neil Blackburn said the city should respond if there is a catastrophic situation in one of those communities. Blackburn noted that Center- ville firemen often respond to fires at oil refineries in nearby south Davis communities. He said Standard Oil Corp. pays the city $5,000 per year to provide backup help in case of fires at their south Davis plant. Blackburn said the city receives several benefits from the oil company as well as the, yearly payment. He said Centerville firemen also receive training from the oil company in how to handle refinery fires.
