Three-fourtof that would pass through to local control while the remainder would be used for statewide advertising and other campaigns. Dr. Williams of the total could go for explained. About school-ag- e the with education proposal accepted very favorably but now much to increase (the tax) and who will get the money havent been resolved. FARMINGTON Depending on the Legislature, Davis County could need a million addition to its jail while potential strains to existing mental health facilities are also up in the air. $l-$- 2 one-four- North County Editor SUCH UNCERTAINTY, common with most groups dependent on the Legislature, were expressed to members of the mental health advisory board in their recent meeting by Mental Health Director Rus- board member. The proposed drunken driving legislation, Com. Gerlach said, would have a definite impact on Davis County taxpayers due to the tax proposed for education programs. Added to that, the incarceration considered, depending on court action and changes in the law, could necessitate increasing the jails capacity although the facility has been open only about two years. prog- rams, Dr. Williams said that, as of now, the drug and alcohol programs standard budgetor enough to continue current programs but without counting gained tentative approval. The general mental health budget is still in the hold by nearly $300,000 statewide, he added, although the original near $1 million deficit that showed up after the governors budget has been trimmed by $670,000. The state retirement system proposal that would strip it of four percent funding ties into mental health with up to $200,000 of that projected savings earmarked by some hopes for mental health. If it passes, we would be able to stay at the same level (of service), Dr. Williams explained, noting medical costs have risen faster than overall inflation. to be responsive, ' least he added. tile. As Supt. Lawrence Welling told the council in a special session last week, if the swap can be arranged, the old school could be used until the new facility is completed, avoiding temporary transfer of students wherever space is available for the year or so of construction. d, STATEMENT, opinion to the district 1981 buildings and grounds office, Felshaw King said the district is not generally required to comply with local zoning ordinances in connection with the erection of school buildings and grounds and added Stevenson emphasized desire not to force undue inconvenience on students by forcing demolition of the old school before the new one could be built, Supt. Welling was reminded the city would have the that local building permits arent required and added that state building codes must be followed. IT FURTHER noted the district, as the city, has eminent domain powers to take over property deemed necessary and noted that in the case of city park land, for instance, it might be possible to take if its for a more necessary public use than that to which it has been already appropriated. The court might possibly permit the condemnation of a portion of a municipal park for the establishment of a needed school. THE NEWER opinion was needed, though, because of some doubt shed on that need to comply with local zoning ordinances raised in a 1979 amendment. cam BARRY H, AVERY TAX SERVICE in the comfort of your home - Business - Partnership Personal district more frontage on West Gentile it would be forced into some back acreage, that, City Councilman Bob Stevenson and others noted, could be worth a lot less on an assessed valuation basis.

A LOT depends on pending legislation, he went on, such as a beer tax proposal that would go towards education. Some $2.3 million is being eyed from that source for transfer to the general fund.

EQUALIZATION was sought after for years by the mental health board and Dr. Williams noted that while equality has yet to be reached the per capita funding for Davis County has risen from 36 cents to a little over $2.
