Consider the advantages 1 Losing the trees, tragic as it is, could prevent the loss of a child or eliminate the agony of a broken arm or leg 2 It is presently a state law that park in along state highways be parellel only because of the hazard created by backing out into such a road 3 The trees in question are actually on state road property 4 Whether a child uses the sidewalks largely depends on how he is taught. A light won't do anyone any good unless it is turned on, and a sidewalk useless unless children are educated by their parents and is The to use them state or Utah has allocated to Plain City to use for sidewalks This is significant proof of the states desire to elliminate pedestrian hazards along state roads 6 When the sidewalks are installed people can hop from their cars onto blacktop, rather than into mud Plain City Mayor Lower, says there will be no action taken until a survey of the Plain City citizens has been completed, then the actual desires of the matonty will be satisfied Engineers are also drawing up alternatives and all potential plans will be displayed for the public to $14,500 view The original plan is to start in the center of town and go north and south along the highway as far as the money will allow.

The cost will be added to the connection fee, which the property owners will have 11 months to pay. Since everyone must connect to the sewer within 90 days, it will save them a lot of money to have the stubbing out done while the hole is there. Also, when the road is paved, it wont have to be torn up again. Councilman Lary Doman lives in the Ranchettes subdivision. He has made first hand observations. He said it was a wonder that no lives had been lost in the trench as it keeps caving in on the workers. They have to work inside a cage for protection. I wouldnt go down 11 feet for anyone, not even my own mother, remearked Doman. The North Ogden City Council wrestled with the perennial problems again Tuesday night irate citizens, lack of funds, time and man power, people building without permits, sewer, garbage and street problems. A resolution was passed keeping the null levy the same for another year. A cooperative Fire Department Contract with Pleasant View was approved for another five years. was accepted A recommendation from the Planning Commission to update the Master Street plan in regards to a proposed acsess street 2300 North to Monroe. The paving bid was awarded for 1700 North Street. According to the city administrator, Dennis Shupe, a major problem is caused because people apparently dont realize they must get a building permit from the city for any kind of construction. He explained that the reason for the permits is to stop a lot of problems. We dont want people to have to stop work on a project once theyve started. Shupe said a permit is needed any time the ground is covered: a fence, driveway, shed, addition to anything or a patio, for some examples. There are ordinances specifying many details that need to be adhered to, such as in the case of a fence, what kind, where it may be put and how high it may be. Many gas and telephone lines have been severed because someone didn't know they were there. - 'T? IY 0 u N.
