Show I Industrial Development Continues To Increase pays taxes and doesn't produce childrer to be educated Mr King feels it is essential to provide jobs for youth in the community, since we want to provide for our own If jobs are provided m Davis County, these young people will find jobs, stay in Davis County and contribute as taxpayers By ROSELYN KIRK Industrial Development in Davis County as of evidenced by the announcement of Centerville to contract for design plans for an industrial park and by North Salt Lakes action in giving preliminary approval to the second plat of the North Salt Lake Industrial Park continues to expand west problem that in the industrial development plagues MR. KING said one county is getting the utilities to the area west of I 15 where most of the industrial 15 was development is planned When I THIS INDUSTRIAL expansion, in addi tion to other growth factors m the county, is the object of a study prepared by the Davis County Planning Commission for the Weber River Water Quality Planning built, the county did not have the of cooperation of the Utah Department A metal Transportation (UDOT), he said pipe, which could provide the encasement to carry utilities under the freeway to the industrial developments w'hich are planned on the other side, was not prov ided for m the building project In order to provide utilities on the other side, cities now have to bore underneath the freeway for lines to the other side This problem exists in the area from Council This study analyzes potential growth in the county through 1995 The study deals with potentials for growth and projects alternatives for handling this growth According to Robert Scott, Davis County Planner, who presented the study, the county will increase in population from 126,000 in 1975 to 156,000 in 1980 Planners estimate that the population in 1995 will rise to 227,800 Kaysville south to West Bountiful THE REPORT says the growth of Davis ANOTHER problem that Mr K.ng sees in developing the industrial areas is is indicated by increases in both the gross sales of the county and its labor force During the five year period of gross sales in the county doubled The gross sales increased by 113 percent from $143,712,716 to $305,617,239 The gross sales in the state of Utah increased 96 percent during the same period The report also show's that the location of employment has shifted during the same period In 1972, 72 percent of all the employment m Davis County was located north of Farmington By 1975 only 67 percent of the workers w'ere in North providing fron age roads so that the county will have access to some of the locked in areas near the freeway Indus trial areas in Davis County do not have access to industrial real estate as do the areas in Salt Lake County, he said Water is available in the county if needed for industrial development But Mr King pointed out that acreage is the biggest factor in determining where an industrial park is feasible There arent many places left in the county where there are 200 acres of uncommitted land with access MR. SCOTT pointed out that employment distribution indicates that 52 percent of the workers in the county are employed in the Clearfield South Weber area in fields of manufacturing, trans portation and government IN ADDITION to the North Salt Lake Industrial Park, the Freeport Center and the planned Centerville Industrial Park, Mr King suggested the potential for an In Dav is industrial park in West Layton County people want industry west of the railroad and the freeway County's economy 1971-197- STREET NAMES B) ROSELYN KIRK Names Fiddlers like Muttonhollow' Road, Creek Road, Angel Street and Gentile Street still retain the pioneer flavor of Layton, een in the face of progress BUT SOMETIMES progress wins out Jerald Wiggle, 1304 East Gentile said eight or ten years ago there was a move to change Fiddlers Creek Road to Rosewood Lane Mr Wiggle had a vested interest in the project since his grandfather Jerald Wiggle had been one of the fiddlers the street was named for We fought the change and had a meeting with the county commissioners to retain the old name We w anted to keep the name for old times sake, but we w'ere So Fiddlers Creek Road is now ignored named Rosewood Lane w ONE FAMILY, John and Carol Morgan, ho live in the 1500 block, have to retain the old address, Fiddler's Creek Road been able 1500 East This history of the street is told by Leona Adams, 813 East Gentile The early settlers in Layton, at that time a part of Kaysville, settled next to Holmes Creek since there w'as an abundance of water The name of the creek was later changed to Fiddlers Creek by the early settlers because many of the men living on the creek played the fiddle Tom Bennett, Jerry Wiggle and Lewus Whitesides would roll back the carpet in one of the houses and play for the dances MRS. ADAMS said the early settlers used to call the music Tom and Jerry music after these early fiddlers Mr Wiggle said he has heard tales of how the participants danced so hard that clouds of dust rose from the floor where the dancers stomped and danced He had heard the fiddlers all got together and practiced prior to a dance Sometimes they didnt prai tue The) just pla)ed Frank and Leona Adams had other stories to tell about the history of some of the names of the streets Gentile Street, which runs from the lake to the mountain road, w'as named for tw'o non Mormons who lived on the street, Mrs Adams said IN THE early days, Christopher La) ton, the Mormon bishop for w'hom La) ton is named, tried to convert two families who lived in the town W'ho werent Mormons One lived east near the bluff The other lived near the post office in the center of towm by a little park near the railroad track These two families W'ere the only ones who lived in Layton who didnt belong to the Mormon Church Bishop La)ton couldnt convert them so he jokingly named the street after them The name stuck and Fast and West Gentile is the main east west street in I Davis Jerald Wiggle shows the old WiggU home on Holmes Citek that later tiecame known as Fiddleis Ciei k a) ton EASY STREET is one of the names of a street that lasted for aw hile and has since changed Leona Adams said John Gibson, who used to run a steam engine at the Layton Mill, moved east from the center of the town into an area which is now known as the Hillfield Road There he built a four room house The area was so quiet compared to the noise of the mill and the stoking of the engine that he said it w'as like living on Fasy Street The name stuck for awhile but most of the street now is know n as the Hillfield Road ONE STREET that has maintained its name without there being total agreement on the legend behind the name is Angel Street Virginia Bennett, Syracuse, said she had heard the story that tw'o or three of Bishop Laytons favorite wives lived on the street and he coined the name Angel Si ret t Hank and eon Ad mis said this is not tiue, although the) hid heard the same version of the tor) The) tell an even mote interesting stor) As their story goes, two girls who lived on the street 1 i -- went to the d in t s in I a) ton and met two biothers w ho were interested in them But the father of the girls, Andrew Fghert, disapporved of the romance SOME PEOPLE said he thought his daughters were too high c lass for the King boys Neither couple ever married, but the bo)s christened the street Angel Street after the two girls, making fun of the father who thought his daughters were too good for them Like Sugar Street, which was named after the sugar mill an earl) industry Fort ane street is named in the town after a fort h) the same name Kaysville had originally built a large fort to protect the people from the Indians on the south side of the cave made by Kays Creek Fort I ane led from the main road to the The eastern areas of the county around Fruit Heights would be an excellent site for a research park, Mr King said It is just as good for the area as a school or a church Research parks are very common in the Fast They contribute to the neigh borhoods and provide jobs closer to w'here Bountiful is the second largest area of employment in the county, but the 5,302 workers in this area are employed mostly in construction, trade and finance Service is the largest industry in South Davis people live THE REPORT predicts, that by 1995, 93,523 people will be employed in the labor force in Davis County In order to cope with the population projections, communities in the county IT WILL be a selling job, he admitted, residents that certain kinds of industry should be located on the bench areas, but its not logical to think of that area as sacred Mr King says the heavy industry in Davis County is located in the right place below' the railroad tracks to convince have been encouraged by the Davis County planners to upgrade their master plans In most cases the cities have been given professional assistance from the planners office 1 fort MUTTON HOLLOW Road, located in the unincorporated area of the county between Kajsville and I a) ton was named after some people in the area who ran sheep, Frank and I eona Adams said But there is a more recent tw ist to the story As the area developed, nine families who now live on a street that joined Mut ton Hollow Road looked for a name for their street The choices were Rams Run r F we Turn The vote was taken and Ewe Turn won So the old picturesque wajs of naming are continuing, this time being perpetuated h) newer residents who are moving into the area and picking up the old graphic wajs of naming the city streets i HE ARGUED that even without any more industry, Davis County is not as poor as they tell us Statistics available from the Utah Economic and Business Review' show the total assessed evaluation of Davis County for 1976 at $243,185,000 as compared to Weber County at MANY OF these master plans are nearing completion, although few' have been officially adopted According to the report, Cities in Davis County are becoming aware of the problems relating to w'ater pollution, storm drainage and land use as well as the need for better data upon which to base their decisions In planning for industrial development, cities must take into consideration statis tics which show' that industrial acreage will rise from 1,627 in 1980 to 2,285 m 1995 Ear! King, director of Industrial Resources in Davis County, says that in dustrial development is needed to raise the taxes to educate the children in the community and to provide jobs $257,893,000 The report issued by the planning department reports that an overriding policy in the county has been that grow th should be encouraged and should occur in the cities ALTHOUGH the report agreed with Mr Kings projection that all cities did have access to existing water supplies to handle 1995 population projections, it stated the cities did not have service line and storage facilities at present to handle the demands of the 1995 population The report pointed out the need for each city to plan a capital improvements program to provide these services IT COSTS $1,000 per pupil to educate he said The in the county, average property owner pays an average children of $450 per year property taxes He point ed out this is half of the cost needed to educate one child per year For this reason we must turn to industry w'hich GvOtiw Mrs I ois Neilson accompanied her daughter and son inlaw, Milt and Dianne Weilenmann and daughters Melanie and Melissa on a tour of Mexico They enjojed a vacation in Puerta Vallarta, Guadalajara, Mexico City and Oaxaca Miss Kara Anderson is vacationing in I os Angeles, California with her aunt and uncle, Mr and Mrs Keith lit ox and farm!)
