The proposed development goes against good zoning practices in that it mixes incompatible functions that is farming and residential. Permitting this type of intrusion into an agricultural area encourages a widespread scattering of non- farm residences and sub- divisions all over the farm countryside. Sooner or later this unguided urban invasion creates problems for both the Federal Aid Share Was $7,228,000 (Special to the Cache Valley Citizen) To what extent is Cache county sharing in the billions of dollars of Federal funds that are being distributed by the government annually in the form of grants-in-aid- ? Of the $29 billion handed out ' by Washington in the past fiscal year, how much reached the local area? Based upon Treasury Department figures and a state-bystaanalysis of them made by the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit organization that keeps track of and taxation government spending, Cache countys share was relatively large. An estimated $7,228,000 went to the local area under a variety of community aid programs. The grants made throughout the State of Utah as a whole totaled $181,000,000, the Tax Foundation reports. They were for such purposes as urban renewal, welfare and public assistance, highways, te food stamps, Job training, health, education and many others. The figures take into account to states and only grants-in-ai- d their communities, it is noted, and do not include other made by the expenditures government in local areas for goods and services. As to the cost of these benefits, it comes out of Federal income and excise taxes that are allocated to the grants-in-ai- d programs. Cache countys share of these costs amounted to approximately $4,554,000 last year, it is estimated from a breakdown of the Tax Foundations figures. The statewide contribution is listed as $114,000,000. This is exclusive of the amount that must be paid in matching funds. In some states, the costs involved exceed the benefits received. In others the reverse is true. There is no intention of striking a balance in that regard. The awards are intended to be made on the basis of local requirements and needs. Many communities are not getting as much as they might from the grants programs because they are unaware of what is available and therefore have not submitted applications. In fact, according to Senator William Roth of Delaware, there is no one in Washington itself that is aware of all of them. With much difAcuity, he states, he has been able to compile a list of 1,350 grant possibilities. Meeting Explains BRAG Purpose Makeup of the Bear River Association of Governments was clarified in a meeting Wednesday afternoon in the Utah State University Center. The Bear River Association of Governments executive, committee will be made up of the three commissioners from each of the three counties, Box Elder, Cache and Rich, and two other representatives from the cities of each county, one of whom must be from the largest city. The commissioners of each county will notify the Council of Governments in their county so that the selection may be made and these representatives attend the meeting to be held on June 29, at the Bear Lake Motor Lodge restaurant in Garden City. Officers of the association will be chosen from county members, and a quorum will consist of either the chairman or vice chairman and a majority of the other members. Bruce G. King, executive director of the association, read a memo from the governor's office which staled that the governor will not approve the spending ot any OEO money which does not also have the approval of elected officials in counties or associations of government. Mr. King explained the plan for the Bear River Association of Governments becoming the contracting body for the Community Action Program. The executive committee of the association will be the contracting body. Under this will be set up Head Start and Home Start, which are funded by HEW, NYC and Operation Mainstream which are funded by the Department of Labor. An advisory board d elected composed of d officials, public at d low income large and will be set up. At the present time it is hoped that this board will serve in two capacities, as the CAP board and as the board. Manpower Planning BRAG is still awaiting work if this is feasible. Mr. King said that he was concerned over the facilitating of federal funding programs for communities and agencies in the area, and would like to get these under way. He said that he had been notified that Utah State University has filed a notification of intent to apply for 'federal funds through the Historical Society for restoration work on Old Main. Mr. King suggested that there is a need for dialogue with the counties across the state line in Idaho adjacent to the three northern counties in Utah. He was asked to write the governor's office requesting direction on interstate cooperation. It was decided that the association will meet the fourth Wednesday of each month in each of the counties in turn. An agenda for each meeting will be prepared beforehand. one-thir- one-thir- one-thir- resifarmer and the dent.

Concerning a request of Clair Stalnaker to zone change 120 acres in the Peters boro area from FR-4to it was decided to reject the rezoning but to create an amendment to the present zone. Otherwise, it would be spot zoning. The amendment will allow Stalnaker to build a permanent family residence on property which is already connected with an agricultural operation. Without the amendment, the zoning ordinance allows for only seasonal cabin-typ- e residences.

Cache Schools Get Ratings Cache schools were found to be above average or normal on a national basis, except in a small area of spelling in the secondary schools, as shown by recent scholastic testing.

High areas were in reading, arithmetic and study skills at the secondary level, with about one-ha- lf above the national or 207, hit the very top score, or a 13.6 achievement level.
