DAVIS COUNTY School District officials are seeking possible answers to that question while facing the prospect of losing another $ I million all from federal impact aid monies. About this time of the year it becomes difficult to say pleasant and interesting things about snow. It's still beautiful. It doesnt stick to highways as it does earlier. We can always use the water, though we apparently are doing well in that regard this year. But the snow keeps coming. And we just have to acknowledge it. So here it is. Another flaky week. Two sessions have been held with community leaders in north Davis County with another set for south Davis residents this week. IN EXPLAINING the dilemma facing Davis School Di- strict. Board Clerk Roger Glines outlined loss of $1.6 Suit On Antelope Island On Court Docket For April 8th FARMINGTON A suit seeking condemnation of Antelope Island which was filed in Second District Court in February of 1979 will finally be heard on April 8. ' THE HEARING refers to a condemnation suit filed by the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation against owners of the Dejsland. Anschutz Corp. of nver. Since the suit was filed. State Park and Recreation offi- - By TOM BUSSELBERG Giving FARMINGTON at the up processing operations Davis County headquarters would library in Farmington result in only a tradeoff, the incounty library board was formed Monday. THAT FACT surfaced after on nearly two hours discussion pros and cons in transferring processing from Farmington to the State Library Board offices on 21st South in Salt Lake City. State officials esti- attending the meeting remated l'2 people might be if the quired to fill added work systhe Davis Library joined tem while local librarians said at most the same number of positions might be saved. The board opted to further study the matter and set , ciaws have tried to purchase the rematinder of the island or to negotiate a swap with the owners for other land. This proposal, however, met with disapproval by the owners. THE TRADE was to offer the owners 4.500 acres in Carbon County, valued at more than $ .9 million, for the island 15 miles in length to pre- serve Antelope Island as a state park and wildlife range. EACH END of the island, however, would be developed for tourists. A State Park already is partially developed on about 2.300 acres on the north tip of the island. 1 which at that time was appraised at $1.7 million. Meanwhile, the state has appropriated $3.75 million to purchase the island which is another meeting for Monday at I p.m. in the county commission chambers. Discussion was aired as part of findings presented by the state, county and Dr. Merle Lamson, a professor of library science at Brigham Young University. He was commissioned to complete an impartial study comparing the two processing systems and indicate which would profit the county most. RELUCTANT to give an answer with parties from both camps in attendance, he finally said he would probably go with the state, but did not elaborate. The study was asked by the library board after Librarian Jeanne Layton was reinstated several months ago. One contention raised in a letter used as a basis for her firing last fall said the county could save More than one million tourists visit the island annually, but this figure is expected to increase to between three and five million with the development of the island, according He Could A man could retire nicely in his old age if he could dispose of his experience for what it :ost him. Evening News, Buffalo money if the state processung center was utilized. And Commissioner Morris F. Swapp. who also sits on the library board, had said he was for shelving. Of those, the told by the Davis County Schools Superintendent (then Bernell Wrigley) that the school district could save $100,000 if it joined the state. That move was taken nearly three years ago. BUT WERE the county to join the state system, because of a budget cut mandated by the governor, it might not be possible to actually join the system until July 1, 1981. That would be the start of the first budget year after the next legislative session will meet to decide financing. Dr. Lamsons study indi- cated 23 steps followed from the time a book order is generated until it is jacketed, ready million in 874 funds the district must absorb during this fiscal year (ending June 30) or go in the red. The 874 monies are of property provided taxes that federal installations, such as Hill AFB. don't pay. But while no taxes come from the mammoth facility the district is responsible for educating thousands of students w hose parents live and or work on base. Funding is broken down into "A" monies for those living on base and B" where parents only work on base. PREVIOUS cuts have pared the kettle down by $ .6 million in-li- to Park and Recreation officials. A BOAT marina is being erected in the bay at the north end of the island to tie in with several public beaches, swimming areas, picnic sites, nature walks, etc. -- state could only provide five or six. County Chief Cataloger Sandi Long, who also conducted a study and responded to Dr. Lamson's report, said. THE STATE could classify and catalog a book, type catalog cards, add headings to cards and label and jacket books. But other procedures, including those with ordering, would have to be completed by the Davis Library, it was noted. And as Dr. Lamson noted, the state does not process -visual materials and cannot meet rush orders for a book that could be obtained within a day by going to Salt Lake City. In fact. Miss Long and Miss Layton estimated 45 percent of processing activity would have to continue locally even if the state did the rest. audio- akrd 'ike cdy coumd loafTtmeiHl1 UWioJaM-tu- l Cuir Council 1u,4y 44newa they hcoJ lliitofl Hotel rt for the imi mowU he hud! at about o.S.u!h 4Vmnf fcc SNOW LIMBS JSPa5 . 1 over previous projections w hile President Carter is proposing effectively eliminating any additional funding to Kmd for the wlmli kk pro-jrt- t. uiuiumoul a move would arproced, not ailect use or lotse any dfte upon the coy and Ciiv Anorncy Allied Van'kgoen cad the request appeared in Irjtd order.

District officials are seeking to make up" for the $ .7 mil IF THE state provided for the service, many cataloging services would have to be done locally or dropped. Those included book dotting where different colors are placed on fiction books according to a code such as red for western and yellow for mystery. Both Miss Long and Miss Layton say that code helps those merely browsing through the fiction collection who might not consult the catalog. Other sophisticated procedures that the state wouldnt provide include cataloging books by the same author under the same name. Some authors use several pseudonyms, such as Mark Twain and Samuel Clemens. The authors name is taken from the title page and if it differs from one book to the other books may be placed in diffe lnal arprocal Irom Hobday Inn lilt," TWENTY-ON- E cost-savin- g possibilities were presented with those attending asked to take the list and information to their groups, whether it be a church or a chamber of commerce or a city council, get additional input, and bring it back. Those meetings were set to begin this week. Proposals totalled $2.2 million. more than enough to meet the $1 .6 million goal, but Supt. Lawrence We King emphasized they were only suggestions. THE PROPOSAL that would save by far the most $942.000 was saved for last. It would increase the student-teachratio I ': students per class, on the average. Eliminating the string music program in elementary schools would save $100,000 while central office reorganization would save $211,800, placing junior high athletics on intramural $80,000. eliminating some district senior high athletic costs $ 3 .000 and reducing school nurse services $50,000. er 1 OTHER CUTS would see a $15,000 savings if driver education fees were raised from $5 to $15: $200,000 by reducing secretarial, custodial, mainte rent areas. The casual reader might miss some books, it is reasoned. UNDER THE state system a collection of plays would be cataloged under the general title while individual listings for each play would be completed by Davis County. Patrons can consult a reader's guide but that may not be available or may discourage the patron from checking, the board was told. Speaking in support of the county's cataloging was Helen Sheffield. Kaysville, former head school district librarian. Whether the board decides to go with the state or not I would hope these extra services wouldn't be eliminated.

Annual Spring Cleanup Day Set In Kaysville Annual spring cleanup dates for Kaysville city have been set by the city council for Monday.

Exceptions are generally the larger library systems including Salt Lake City and County with partial use by Orem and Provo. Weber County, with a larger collection than Davis, uses the state system. DAVIS COUNTY does receive assistance from the state library for its bookmobile service, with about $40,000 paid from county sources and other monies provided by state and federal sources. side at 8 a.m. on April 21.
