Show Sun shines over Utah housing Utah Housing Finance Agency (UHFA) will once again be able to provide below market interest rates to moderate income Utah homebuyers as Congress extended the Agency's authority to issue tax-exempt tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds (MRB) for another four years. UHFA, which raises its capital through the sale of MRB's, has been unable to do an issue since December 31, 1983 when the authority to issue tax-exempt bonds was "sunset" as sated in the Mortgage Subsidy Bond Tax Act (MSBTA) of 1980. On Friday, June 22, House and Senate Conferees approved a massive tax bill which included a section that extended state government's authority to issue MRB's until Jan. 1, 1988. The 1984 Tax Reform Act, passed by both the House and the Senate, was signed into law July 18 by President Reagan. In anticipation of the extension, UHFA began preliminary work on a new issue during the month of June. "We hope to have a new issue of bonds out by this fall," according to Grant S. Whitaker. Acting Executive Director of UHFA. "Before a new issue of bonds can be done, the Agency must determine deter-mine whether favorable market conditions exist for the sale of the bonds. It is the Agency's goal to provide a mortgage rate not to exceed 11.95 percent." With the passage of the Tax Reform Act, experts expect a rush of Housing Agencies into the market which could have an adverse effect on bond prices and interest rates. "We expect to see more housing bonds on the market during the next six months than during a normal six month period." said Whitaker. ' What effect this will have on our bonds when we are ready to enter the market, is still unknown." Alpine District announces lunch fee policy The Alpine School District has announced its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price for school lunch. According to Leath Stratum, Department Head of Food Services for the District, the guidelines for determining which families are eligible for the program are developed at the federal level and passed on to state and local officials. of-ficials. The eligibility requirements for a free or reduced price school lunch are based on a family's total income and the family size. Individuals may apply for free or reduced lunches for children by filling out an application which is available at the school principal's office and returning it to the school. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. If a family member becomes unemployed unem-ployed or if the family size changes, the school should be contacted. Such changes may make the children of the family eligible for reduced price meals or free meals. For the school officials to determine eligibility, the household must provide the following information in-formation listed on the application: Candidates warned about signs . All political candidates and their supporters are being reminded it is illegal to place advertising signs anywhere within the right-of-way along state highways. Boyd Hansen, state beautification and encroachment coordinator for the Utah Department of Transportation, Tran-sportation, says illegally placed politcal signs will be removed and destroyed. The federal Highway Beautification Act specifies it is unlawful to place advertising signs within the right-of-way along in-terestate in-terestate highways and roads that are part of the primary highway system. That means no signs within the fenced area along state highways high-ways or on telephone poles, fences, trees or official sign posts. Signs that are erected outside the right-of-way must be approved by the Utah Department of Transportation. Illegally placed signs will be removed by UDOT and charges will be filed against the candidates as well as the landowners. The State of Utah spends thousands of dollars every election year in the removal of illegally placed signs. Candidates and their supporters should consult with officials in city, county or state government prior to erecting signs on public or private property. State Forester praises Utahns Large wildland fires have not been as numerous this year, said State Forester Ralph A. Miles. Miles gives much of the credit for fewer wildland fires to people who are careful with fire while visiting the state's wildlands. Careful use of fire has conserved considerable timber and range resources in Utah this season. Utahns, said Miles, should be proud of this achievement. It is the State Forester's expectation that people will continue to be careful with fire throughout the remainder of the potential fire season. c obituaries Calvin Gray Calvin Clark Gray, 59, died Tuesday, July 17, 1984, at his home in Provo of cancer.
