Haws to gather all pertinent data including costs and educational impact on students, to make presentations at public hearings and let citizens decide how to proceed. Haws told the board that high costs at least a million dollars to remodel Box Elder Junior High to accomodate the ninth grade was the most prohibitive reason for keeping the grade at the high school. The board agreed that moving the ninth grade was the best move education-wis- e at the school. Board President Donna Gordon of South Willard said several things the board needs to do at the school cant be done with the ninth grade there. Haws suggested the public hearing route after some board members felt that with declining enrollments and high building costs, it was not feasible to discuss moving the grade at this time. Move Students But sentiment for moving the students, from Mrs. Gordon and a half dozen citizens at the meeting, urged the board to consider presenting the case to the people. Board member Arnold Thompson said the board was not at a loss what to do. We need to determine how to go, how to find the means." Board member Deloris Stokes suggested a bond election or bond refunding to finance any construction, but warned that an auditorium built at Box Elder Junior High would require the board to take similar action at Bear River Junior High. The board plans to hold at least two public meetings the next 60 days on the issue and has also directed Supt. Haws to investigate for an assessment of needs by outside sources. In other matters, the board adopted for 30 days a revised dress code for all schools in the district, authorized borrowing of up to $600,000 in tax anticipation notes and agreed to purchase gasoline from a Tremonton dealer. The dress code, which essentially does away with length standards, was recommended by an ad hoc committee established by the board. Avoid Extremes In an opening statement, the committee said the Box Elder Board of Education requires all of its students to conform to standards that avoid extremes and tend to draw undue attention, and further supports the position that parents should oversee the appearance of their children. Girls will be permitted to wear either dresses or slacks with tops which are in good taste in the community and school. Girls wearing boys shirts as blouses must wear shirt tails tucked in. No tank shirts or bare midriffs are allowed. Appropriate footwear must be worn. Hair should be worn in good taste and neatly groomed. Extreme colors or coiffures will not be permitted. Bangs are to be kept above the eye brows and hair which fall in front of the face or otherwise needs constant attention is not acceptable. Make-u- p should be worn to conform to good grooming rules for daytime wear. Boys standards say trousers, whether levis, cords or slacks must be worn at the proper height (waist), not too tight, with a belt (when required). Shirts should be properly buttoned and tucked in at the waist, unless tailored for outside wear. Sleeveless shirts or cut-oarms are not permitted. Shoes with cleats or other hardware that may be damaging to floors will not be permitted. Appropriate footwear must be worn. Hair and-o- r Neat Hair sideburns should be clean, Absentee ballot available from BE clerk's office Voters who will be out of the county on Sept. 10, primary election day, can pick up absentee ballots from the county clerks office until Sept. 9. Clerk K. B. Olsen said absentee voters must sign an application for the ballots before the county can issue them. A person can pick up the ballots at the office or have them mailed to him, he said. Clerk Olsen said voters may still register for the upcoming primary. The last regular registration day when voters can sign up in their own precincts is Tuesday. Aug. 30 is the last day for signing up at the Clerks office before the primary. There are three more regular registration days in October, said Olsen. They are the 12th, 15th, and 29th. The last day the county clerk can register voters before the November election is Oct. 25, he added. Olsen said the county can not register voters later than 10 days before an Sideburns are not neat and to extend below the bottom of the earlobe. The boys hair standard is a change from a board ruling last year that stated hair could reach only to the bottom of the collar. trial period The board set up the to allow anyone opposing the new standards to voice their opinions. The board authorized clerk David Morrell to set up machinery to draw up to $600,000 in tax anticipation revenues from First Security Bank, low bidder on the loan at 6.81 percent interest. The borrowing is done annually at this time when revenues are small and district y expenses high.. The board voted to purchase gasoline ' from Chevron Oil Co, in Tremonton at about 31 cents a gallon, rather than place the purchase at competitive bid. Morrell said the district is allowed to make a direct purchase from Chevron since that firm had the district contract in 1972, which is the year federal energy officials use as a base year for figuring gasoline allotments. He said the district could take its chances and call, for bids or be assured of a supply based on 1972 use. This way were assured of gasoline" if the energy crisis should worsen, he added. COUtldl looks at computer buy to streamline operations of Brigham City was made by the City Council last Thursday when it voted to pursue purchase of a computer. Councilman Douglas J. Wight made the proposal, citing a need to drastically update management practices as well as A move save money. Wight suggested, and the council agreed, to look into a used system at a greatly reduced price from National Cash Register, which could provide a used machine for about half the cost of a new one. Councilman Wight said that although the city has not budgeted for the item, the money saved by reducing three employes handling utility billings and catching possible errors would more than offset the cost. He said the computer could help the city keep track of its financial affairs almost up to the minute. Now, however, there is a y lag in receiving financial reports at the end of a month. Wight predicted an annual cost of $10,000. The city budgets $20,000 annually for billing costs. He said the computer could handle twice the number of the citys billings with about a half person, a savings of 3 2 workers. The council gave Wight the go ahead to firm and develop the contact specifications for bid. Cable TV In other matters, the council heard a proposal from a cable TV firm for a franchise in Brigham City. The firm proposes to provide 12 channels at a cost of about $7.50 a month. The city would receive a percentage of the gross take by the firm plus rental for d allowing the cable to be strung from utility poles. The firm said residents could receive all local channels, possibly one or two from Idaho, later regular cable TV channels, and an FM station. The council agreed to hire two civilians for dispatching at the city police department, raised the wages of the animal city-owne- control officer and established a classification of police The civilian dispatchers would start at $407 a month. The animal control officer was raised from $555 to $604 a month and n Mrs. Leola Larsen was placed in the classification at $525 a month.
