THE LONG-TIMpeace officer also fired a written salvo at certain sections of the new minimum standards for juvenile detention, prepared by a state committee of which he is a member. Paragraph Four drew special criticism because it requires that children from Class C counties (Box Elder) must be transported to Class A (Salt Lake) or Class B (Weber, Utah) facilities within 24 hours unless the juvenile court orders otherwise.

Access is through another locked door to keep juveniles apart from development, health, safety, public affairs and problems of 'aging. Judge Sets Up FINAL ARTICLE IN SERIES Frischknecht, cational programs Box Elder county inched into the issue of juvenile detention homes in Utah last week when Sheriff Warren W. Hyde recommended that Box Elder, Cache and Rich counties cooperate to build a detention home in the Mantua area. In two letters to the county commission, Hyde indicated that Box Elder county now is in violation of state law by having existing juvenile facilities in the county jail building. And he indicated a preference to have local juveniles kept closer to home rather than sending them to a central home such as has been proposed in Weber county. Hyde said that joint planning would cut the cost of a home in or around Mantua and he thought that four to six detention rooms would be adequate. He also suggested attached living quarters for a juvenile officer and his wife. , The sheriff noted that copies of his recommendations had been sent to county commissioners and law enforcement officials in the much-bandie- d Home Agent and fire con- trol board will hold its regular meeting at 8 p.m. in the court- sters Found Innocent Jail Facilities Violates Law, Sheriff States New County For Local Kids ten-whe- 8 PAGES Board Picks Set This Week THE COUPLE reportedly were to a from Smithfield enroute Spanish Fork cannery.
