WAIT TEA Clerk Proposes District's Merge The Box Elder county clerk has proposed consolidation of four voting districts and urged the county commission to move quickly to get it done this year. K. B. Olsen said Junction voting district at Lynn should be combined with Yost since there arent enough permanent residents left in Lynn to even hold an election. Residents themselves requested that the district be combined with another one when we held the last general election, he explained. Only one family now resides at Lynn. Both communities are located in the remote northwestern area. In addition, the clerk porposed a merger of Beaver Dam and Collinston voting districts in eastern Box Elder county. Commissioner William L. Packer said he would contact the Democratic district chairmen from these districts to ascertain their feelings and Commission Chairman Don Chase said would consult with the Republican leaders. There are currently 54 voting districts in Box Elder county.

All services are volunteer except a woman who handles distribution in the supplemental food program, Gordon explained. Commissioner Malcolm C. Young said he had some questions about the supplemental food program, calling the program discriminatory. Didn't we decide at one time we couldnt keep the program there and pay rent? he asked. That was the basis for setting up the budget with plans to distribute from the courthouse, Commissioner Chase replied.
