Fishing will be allowed on Saturday, September 14. A misprint In the fishing proclamation states that the opening date Is September 15, but the Intent was to open the lake on Saturday, which will be allowed. Fishermen coming toMlnersvllle this fall should not yet expect to catch large trout. Trout will range from Inches In length. Trout are growing rapidly and some will be In the one to two lb. range by the middle of next summer. The legal limit Is set at four fish and will remain In effect through the remainder of 1985. Although regulations have not been set for 1985, recommendations have been made to have a four trout limit from January 1 through May 23, and a six trout limit through from May 24 December. The reservoir is opening sooner than normal after chemical treatment because of high water and fl)ds as wellasbecauseofnongame fish. It was desirable to allow fishcondiing as soon as possible while tions permit and hope that poor environmental conditions will not reoccur In the near future. It Is also hoped that typical spring opening weekend crowds can be somewhat alleviated by having a fall opening date. Plans are to compensate any small trout harvested this fall by stocking an additional 15,000 catch-abl- e size rainbow trout In the reservoir later this year. 9-- 12 gen 1 Big draw not avaiteMe Results of the big game permit drawing held August 16, were still not available to the County News at press time. Ironically before the advent of the computerized drawing, the DWR turned the results over to a printer who made complete copies and the results were In the hands of media, often the next day. Now, unless the media covers the drawing In person, the lists are not available for publication for up to two weeks after the drawing, long after the successful permittees have been notified. So much for modern technology. Anxious hunters who weren't able to attend the drawing can find out If they rew a permit by visiting Wildlife Resources the nearest regional office, lists of successful applicants should be posted at the offices In Salt Lake City, Ogden, Vernal, Prlce.SprlngvtlleandCedar City by Tuesday, August 20th. Many local radio stations and newspapers will also eventually receive lists. Nearly thirty thousand sportsmen applied for the coveted big game permits, and Division personnel worked long hours preparing applications for the computer drawing. Permits will be mailed out during the next two weeks. Refunds should take about four to six weeks. ft A ( V County Metro Milford authorized Mayor Swain tc continue negotiations In an effort to keep Metro alive, but with reduced services to get Mllford's share to a point where they can afford It. Milford already faced with a loss of funds from mishandling by the City Manager, and expenses ofthe audit and court proceedings Is strapped for funds, and has suffered a loss of approximately $10,000 from property taxes to the 106 percent limitation. Our only source of additional revenue is to raise water rates, Mayor Swain said. Swain was sworn in as Interim Mayor on Monday, August 12th, after Mayor Pettey resigned on July 23rd. I really haven't been able to get a firm handle on the city finances, until the audit report Is complete, approximately September 1st, Swain said. The county and sheriff made the only reasonable proposal they could, Swain said, but $61,000 is a big hunk out of Mllford's $165,000 operating budget.

Request of Principal Pettey and new coach at Milford High School 12 month extra work to begin program was granted. Errly payment of coaching fee was authorized and two weeks extra pay was approved with the coach to work for time putting up the funds. Mayor Robert Christiansen said, but will have to forego other services. "We will provide law enforcement for our people one way or the other," he said. Christiansen said Beaver could provide its own police force If it came to that, but he added it's up to the council to make the decision. His city had Its own force at an annual cost of about $100,000 before the metro system began, he said. "The good thing about the metro system was that the county paid the bill," Christiansen said. But Christiansen said Beaver City Is In a better financial position than the county and could run a more economical public safety operation. He said the current 10 -- member metro system employs too many people. "We're In favor of reducing costs, but I don't think the county's (offer) will reduce it" enough, Christiansen said. He said too much money has been spent on law enforcement, when It could go toother resources. "There needs to be a happy medium somewhere," Christiansen said. When the metro system began, Johnson said, Beaver County was paying tor It through budget surpluses. But Increasing land value assess -ments, because of geothermal developments In the county, coupled with the 106 percent tax revenue limitation have not allowed tax revenues to grow In relation to value anc assessed growing services. If the metro Is dissolved because of lack of funds, Beaver County will still maintain a Sheriff's Dept., a for each town, dispatch service and jail, Johnson said. However, some officers now on the Metro force will lose their jobs If they are not hired on as police officers In either Beaver, Milford or M inersville. deputy Want to own a IVild Horse If you've wanted to own a wild horse, now is the time! Wild horses recently gathered from public lands in Utah are available for adoption at corrals near Dugway, Delta and Cedar City. In addition, for just two days 24 md 25 -- - as many as 50 head will be available for adoption at the rodeo grounds at Fourth West just north of Highway 73 in Lehl. Because of increasing numbers of wild horses on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Manage- ment, Congress appropriated extra funds this year to gather as many as 17,000 horses from the western ranges. In Utah, about 600 head are expected to be gathered. Persons with adequate facilities to maintain horses and the patience and knowledge to domesticate tham may adopt up to four horses. The cost Is $125 per head, which includes required veterinary expenses at the time of gathering. For a year an adopted wild horse remains the property of the federal government, but If the adopter demonstrates proper care of the horse durlnethat year, application maybe made to acquire title to the animal. Thousands of wild horses have been adopted during the past years, Maxfiled said. Some have been trained for riding and some even as show horses. Others have become pack animals. But potential adopters should be aware that the horses have len running wild. Any truck used to transport them should have sturdy sides, for example; an ordinary horse trailer may not be sufficient, Maxfiled pointed out. Additional information maybe obtained by contacting the BLM part of the time to qualify for the extra pay. Also with the custodians approved were four assistant coaches, CullenCarter.ChadHardy, Layne Johnson, and Terry Allen. A reauest to reverse the Beaver h Canyon-Nort- Creek-Manderfie- ld bus route first pickup point was reviewed C. David White moved that the route be reversed this year and alternate each year. The motion was approved. C.DavldWhltemoved that the following high schoolcredit be given for drill team and cheerleaders. The motion was approved by the board. Drill Team P.E. .5 One Time Only; Cheerleaders P.E. None;Dance Yes None, Elective HERE'S MORE ABOUT City Council He estimated this would raise between $30,000 and $40,000, and the rest assessed to water connections. An alternative would be to raise water by approximately $10.00 per month. Swain said that exact figures were Impossible until the audit Is returned by the audlors about September 1st, and he can develop an accurate budget, and know just what the financial condition of the city is. Swain then made proposals to: Close the swimming pool as of Tuesday, August 20. Approved by Council with Whitney, Lister and Davis voting for and Wiseman and Schow against. Not replace the Assistant City Forman, and hire temporary city help as needed. Approved. Drop contract for C lty Engineer. Tabled until next meeting. Stop collection of surcharge on water connections until disposition of recreation complex known. Credit amount collected to Individual connection. Approved unanimously. Make city forman responsible for maintaining Inventory and Issuing tools to city employees. Excessive loss of tools or misuse of city property for any reason whatever, will be cause for dismissal or disciplinary action. City Employees responsibility to return all tools to city forman. Dr. Symond emphasized the need for police protection even If necessary to drop the recreation complex. Councilman Whitney said he felt It was pretty well dead anyway. Dr. Symond said the Union Pacific could not participate In the project with matching funds, but would build two racquetball courts adjacent to the (new) existing facility. There was no representative of the railroad present, and the COUNTY NEWS has been unable to verify the Union Pacific decision. The decision If confirmed does not necessarily kill the recreation complex, but would affect the Community Impact match. It also could affect the Union Pacific demand for a year around facility. Norman Lamb asked what the city was going to do about the golf course. He said the four new holes have been allowed to burn up. Councilman Whitney later said that it was Impossible for the city to take care of the four new holes, and that he was going to approach the Men's and Women's Golf Association. They had Initially agreed to maintain and water the new holes. However, only a very few had made a contribution of time and labor. He said Kevin and Marilyn Long a good had done on the job established golf course, but had been working without a contract, because he ( Whitney) hadn't got it drawn up. He addmitted some responsibility, "If the golfers of this but said community don't want the new four holes bad enough to help out, they don't deserve them." Keith Erlckson asked about the bids on tree trimming at the He said he had cemetery. approached the city and was told it would be advertised for bids. Councilwoman Lister said she had called Terry Wiseman and a tree trimming company In St. George for bids, and Wiseman was the only bidder. However, Wiseman was hired without fonuai Council action as far as could be extablished. She said Wiseman wanted a payment on the job. Erlckson also said he would like to bid on taking over the garbage haul and dump, and he oMected to the city with t Unloa Baking a trad Pacific for grading the yard, as a part of the agreement to furnish water to the golf course, as loaf as there was private enterprise willing and able to do the job. This trougti about a discussion on the fact the ctty had spent the $3,600 promised by the railroad for the summer recreation program, but does not have the money or even a written confirmation from the railroad. It was also learned that no written proposal has been made on the railroad water hookup or golf course jvater agreement. Mayor Swain chlded the Council that they have spent $3,600 dollars they don't have, and reiterated that the city make no more verbal contracts or agreements. This had previously been agreed by the Council, but not aherred to. Mayor Swain said according to his calculations, Installations of water meters were costing approximately $25X0 for city tools. The bid specifications had been fcj the Installer to furnish hlsown equipment. Again there was no written agreement between the city and Installer. However, the bids of $40.00 per meter by two bidders had Included their own tools and equipment. Mayor Swain said he planned some changes In the city office. He related a previous term as councilman when in a like situation he had sponsored and pushed through the treasurer's responsibilities and job which was later description, dropped. He said he had asked Council-womLister to remain as treasurer for the time being, and commended her for her service to the city diligent and council. However, the treasurer Is the chief financial officer of the city. It requires more than 10-minutes a day to You check and counter check. can't expect a $50.00 per month employee to devote adequate time He to the duties of treasurer. said, "I will be making recommendations on this In the near future." At the request of Red Wilson, the Council approved, and the Mayor signed a letter to the Five County AOG, requesting their help In securing new Industry for Milford, and to have one of their staff attend the monthly meetings of theMllford Industrial Business Association Committee. Erlckson asked Councilman Wiseman when he was going to burn and push off the dump, the house he demolished. Wiseman explained the agreement with the city. This brought about discussion on In kind labor, Gower Construction owed the city, and their application for a dump permit for a burned out house. Mayor Swain said these verbal and after the fact ageements were costing the city, and said it was the city responsibility to clean or have the dump cleaned. It was decided to raise the dump fee for a house or qulvalent to $300.00 from $250.00 and the city clean off the dump. Kim Wallace, of Bush and Gudgel, city engineers had requested a change order to purchase special pipe to carry the sewer under a water line, which had been broken. Discussion ensued, with no action taken. But the newMayor's message was clear. Cut, Cut, Cut. You can't spend what you don't have. He warned the new budget he will will be strictly bare prepare bones that's all we have.
