Landoivners Engage in Feme Dispute A fencing dispute with a tang of the Old West flared into the open Wednesday as the county commissioners conducted a public hearing in the court house. Approximately 60 stockmen and farmers crowded First District court room to wage a verbal battle on whether or not an approximately 150,000 acres of land should be annexed to Howell precinct. The hearing produced a story of the situation, ended in stalmate and dumped a hot potato in the commission lap. Reminiscent of a Zane Gray novel, farm owners of the 150,000 acre area stretching from Snow-villto Promontory, petitioned for annexation to protect their farm lands from grazing cattle. With a fence law in force, the farmers have had to maintain their own fences to prevent stock from using their land for grazing grounds. The Howell precinct has no fence law thereby placing the responsibility for fencing on the stockowners. Speaking for the farmers, Brigham City Attorney Sherma Hansen pointed out that over the past 10 years, the area had become predominantly farm land with a relative few acres still Of used for grazing purposes. 50 property owners, she explained that 95 percent were seeking inclusion in Ilowell precinct. Built Roadblock However, Walter G. Mann, attorney for the stockowners, built a roadblock in the petitioners path by stating that the boundaries could not be extended except by vote of the people. He capped this statement by pointing out that not one petition signer was a resident of Howell precinct. Mann agreed that the commissioners have the right to alter precincts for voting purposes two-side- d e Ked-dingto- well-know- stock-owner- The Fox Elder high school a cappella choir (shown here) will combine with the a cappella choir from Dear River high for a concert Thursday, March 26, in the LDS tab TO AFFEAR IN CONCERT ernacle.
