Trail Problem, Bookmobile Gain Commission Attention A meeting on the stock trail problem and additional consideration of bookmobile operation in Box Elder county gained attention of the county commission Monday. Jay Hotter, representing the ProtecNorthern Utah Livestock tive association, said it appears that a suit may result to the stock trail through Brig- ham City. Koiter po.nted out also that there still doesnt exist a herd stopping place between Corinne and Lampo along The commissioners said they had agreed earlier to meet with the associations attorney to help in any way they rould to straighten out the problem. They also pointed out that J. Y. rerry, West Corinne, had offered to have a fenced corral on his land as a stop area for $5 a herd. RUSSELL DAVIS, representing m Nji'ii iM the state library board, explained that the years trial bookmoblla operation in Box Elder was ended. He noted that book circulation during the year was 7.74 per capita which is above the state average of six books per capita. Davis said the trial basis could be extended but only with the understanding that the county would agree to operate the bookmobile when a new budget was set up. It was brought out that even though Brigham City, Garland and Tremonton, all of which have their own libraries, may not wish to participate in a county library board setup, the county could levy a library tax and then return that portion to each city based on as. scssed valuation.
