City Councilman Peter Knudson reported on the situation during Thursdays weekly council session. He said the flow from Brigham Citys culinary water sources in Mantua valley is down from last year. Flow in the final week of June this year was 12 Vi to gallons per day. This is down from the same week a year ago when the volume was 15 to gallons daily. But you must remember that last year was a water year . . .we had a lot of water, Dr. Knudson explained. He reported that it became necessary to tap two sources earlier than usual this 1414-milli- summer the Peter C. Jensen spring and a nearby well, both located on the valleys east side. Both are normally turned into the city's culinary system each summer. Its just that it was done sooner than usual, the official explained. At this point the flow looks good. We dont anticipate any serious problems, he added. In other business Thursday, the council approved appointment of three new memboard. bers ot the museum-galler- employed by the city be asked to meet with the council so that they might become acquainted. In the past this practice has been followed in the case of new police officers but not in all departments. Councilman Dale Baron said he liked the idea because he sees people working for the city whom he doesnt know. y They Vaughn two-yea- r are Lloyd Gunther, Ned Young and Nielsen. Each was named to a term. Reappointed to another two-yea- was Ellen Siggard. r term Completing terms on the board and asking not to be reappointed were Val Gunther and Kaydene McIntosh. Also leaving the board as an appointed member was Rick Huchel who recently was named museum-gallerdirector. In a change of policy, the council askad that in the future, all persons to be y I don't know if theyre regular employes, welfare workers, prisoners or what, he remarked. What raised the subject was disclosure that five police trainees had not been introduced to the council. The chief of police wanted to use them for undercover work and thats why they did not come before you, Mayor Harold Felt explained to the council. But theres no reason now why they cant, he added. Acting on a recommendation of Police Chief Jay Herbert, the council accepted a proposal from Cache Communications to service city radio communications equipment. Cost to the city under a one-yecontract will be $500 a month. One other proposal was received, $582.75 monthly from Weber Communications. The council approved amendment of an ordinance establishing the city judges salary. The action reflects a 3 percent pay increase to $19,368 annually. The council gave its approval to a final plat for Cherry Wood subdivision subject to clearance by the city attorney. Approval was given to seek an opinion from the city attorney concerning a rear yard clearance question at Forest Hills subdivision in east Brigham City. Ben Markland, greenskeeper at the city golf course, expressed his appreciation to the council for new mowing equipment purchased for the course. A pay step increase was approved for Janet Bass, police from typist-dispatche- $533 to $549 monthly. Officials ponder porch lighfl wiring progeef J 'v7 J ; f;- $ fi Brigham City officials have agreed to end a local policy allowing free porch light service to many residents. But how to get the necessary wiring changes done has them stumped at least for the moment. Councilmen pondered the situation Thursday during a weekly session that also saw them focus oh downtown parking , enforcement and reported code violations by some cable TV installation. In approving the new city budget, councilmen recently voted to discontinue providing electricity free of charge to operate porch lights. The service is currently enjoyed by families in an estimated 68 percent of the homes here. It reportedly began in 1922 to encourage use of electricity in Brigham City. Home owners were allowed to bypass the meter when wiring to the porch light. Now, 55 years later, however, many homes havent been wired to take advantage of the free service. It has created an inequity which officials find objectionable. To end the policy will reportedly result in a financial savings to the city this year I; h i t I a I work, submitted two proposals to handle the job: To have a qualified electrician go from meter to meter and get permission from homeowners to change over, at a rate of $12 per hour, changing as many as possible each day. To charge a flat rate of $2 for each meter. Mayor Felt urged expediency in getting the work done since to delay will bring a corresponding reduction in anticipated savings to the city.

And if theres nothing else to do, theyll even get a vacuum and help clean up, Mrs. Tuveson said. The youthful volunteers didnt go the home as an organized group. But they have organized now. I started coming here because there are people to help here. The aides cant get everything done, the little important things like letter writing. We have more time, said Natalie Young, 13, who was chosen leader of the volunteers. Natalies activity at home influenced a friend, Julie Hamson, 15, who is also a regular volunteer now. I told myself if she can do it, so can you, Julie explained. Named the groups she explained that what attracts her is the homes atmosphere. . . the people around here and helping others.

It will be the first test of a booster being developed for the National Aeronautics and Space administration program. The static firing will take place at Thiokols Box Elder county plant site. ' Although not the largest rocket motor ever to be fired there, the space shuttle booster is a big one. It is made up of four casting segments with a total length of 125 feet and is 12 feet diameter. Each booster weighs about 1,293,000 pounds and is designed to produce 2,900,000 pounds of thrust at sea level.

It must be decided whether the city can do the work or if it should be contracted. And whether to accept one of Seelos proposals or to call for bids. Whatever decision is reached, Mayor Felt said he wanted local residents to understand that we are in no way going to turn off porch lights. The only difference is that power for the lights will be metered. People who use it will pay for it and not the mission of the space shuttle with the first manned orbital flight now scheduled for March 1979. The booster casings are designed for reuse for up to 20 times as, for the first time, rocket motors will be routinely recovered and used in future flights. When the spent boosters are separated from the shuttle vehicle external tank, they will descend to the ocean by para chute. To be towed back to the Kennedy Space center (or later to Vandenberg Air Force base), the boosters will be disassembled and the motors returned to Thiokol, there to be refurbished and once again loaded with propellent. The first flight motors are scheduled for delivery to Kennedy Space center in Octo- ber 1978.
