Fife described It as being an ideas spot for a pistol range. The Brigham City council, faced with accepting money it know was coming in, Thursday evening moved to cut the city tax levy by one half mill. The action established this years levy at 19.5 mills and came as a mild surprise since the council had hinted previously that taxes would remain the same. didnt proved to alter the anticipated action was the half-mi- ll levy made last year by Box Elder county for library purposes. The city simply hadnt anticipated receipts from this levy and planned Its current fiscal year budget on 20 mills.

Based on a recom-endatl- on of park superinten- dent Harold Anderson, family reunion groups will be charged $10 for each 100 persons or fraction thereof for which the bowery Is reserved. The action came after Anderson pointed to an apparent trend which has seen reser-atlomade for more persons than actually show up. They Just want more room, Anderson said. The result Is that the bowery Is being only partially utilized much of the time when there are enough persons wanting reservations to put It to full use every weekend. ns TO BACK up his contention, Anderson produced figures which showed that In 1960 the bowery accomodated 268 reunions with reservations for 30,680 persons. In the present year, reser- vations have been made for 173 reunions and 31,768 persons. Anderson referred to one instance wherein a man tied up not only the bowery but the entire park area tables for 1,000 persons. No other reservations could be made for that day. the day arrived only persons showed up, the park head said. In another move setting new policy at the park, the council directed that the park area and tables In the fUrure may not be reserved but will be WHEN 90 available on a first-com- e basis. Anderson said he would begin taking 1964 reservations for use of the bowery begln-ln- g in February. ol No Campaign Trials! . . k f f j .VI Judge Elected -- U six-ye- ar J Police Chief Dell Fife' this week DON'T DO IT, KIDS reiterated a warning for local youngsters to stop tagging the fogging units of the Box Elder Mosquito and Fly Abatement district.
