ALTHOUGH Silver Age has held three classes and has a fourth ready, Mrs. Hancock cited problems in getting the program going at the Clearfield Heritage Center.

THE COMMISSIONER reiter- ated support for a library in Layton, relating again how the center of population between 1970 and 1980 shifted from north Centerville to south Layton. That growth Continues, meanwhile, as Layton far outstrips all other county cities in new residential con struction, nearing Bountiful in population and anticipated to pass it having a much larger land area. soon-somet- hing The city officials stressed desire funds could be guaranteed for a new library-- as set by ordinance for their city-b- ut noted realization the county could use those funds for any library capital improvements needs and that a new county commission could set different goals. 4 |
