Mr. Jacobsen said that the group is concerned over what will happen to the Senior Citizens program since Logan City has sold the building where the group has met. Since the county has provided part of the funds to operate the center, the group feels that the county has an interest In the matter. The commissioners said that they are deeply concerned over the program and recognize the need for such a center. They observed that in Utah wherever there are such centers, cities take the lead in establishing them. They have been invited to visit centers in Brigham City, Ogden, Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork on June 12 and Ilunsaker was read in which he reported his visit with state recreation officials to the Wellsville County Park and the Benson Boat Dock. The officials felt that Wellsville Park was one of the finest of its type in the state. Some suggestions for the park were the placing of 12 more picnic tables in the area, the fencing of the boundary near the road, the replanting of trees that have died, grouping them through the park rather than planting them on the fence line, and the addition of two new toilets east of the parking area.

The commissioners said that if Logan City felt the property had to be sold, they would have appreciated an opportunity to buy it for $15,000.

A new center would be a big investment While they were concerned over the future of the Senior Citizens program, they made it clear that they were not trying to interfere with the business of Logan Ciy Com' mission. Chairman Marion Olsen reported that members of the Utah National Guard would move into the Hardware Ranch area on Friday and on Monday would begin to build the road to the site of the new visitors center there. The National Guard with heavy equipment will work two shifts a day to a week to construct the road, about half a mile in length.
