AND ALTHOUGH Library Board Chairman Evan White-side- s was seeking a three-fiv- e year limit to that construction, in discussion during the boards Monday meeting, County Com. Glen Saunders said the commission couldn't commit to a definite timetable. Layton city officials havent said whether theyll stay in the system, with Dec. 31 the last date residents could expect e service unless the city fee-fre- council rescinds its motion to leave the county system. The citys former library committee was officially reorganized as a board, to meet state guidelines, by the council last week. STRESSING the serious- ness of the situation Mr. Whitesides, himself a lifelong Layton resident said, I think this is perhaps one of the most serious matters we as a board have to consider, noting he didn't feel the board was going against earlier plans that included following the "regional library concept where facilities would be built to serve areas, rather than necessarily each city. He referred to a 1969 meet- ing where all city mayors agreed to the concept with the first regional library com- pleted in Bountiful followed by the North Branch in Clearfield that opened in fall, 1975. That meant the closure of small libraries in Clearfield, Syracuse 1 and Layton. Layton residents and at most 3'A miles away as close as a Layton Library might be to some residents. If Layton goes it alone, other cities could follow suit, he said. If others, like Centerville, withdrew, we may have difficulty continuing the current system." He sought, and received board support for continuation of the regional concept with comments such as those from Board Member Eva Jean Law of West Point. I think that small, local libraries wont have a chance to keep up (with new technology). Theyve got to tie into a central library." BOARD MEMBER Robert Arbuckle, who also wears the hat of Centerville city councilman, said he feared every city would want its own library if Layton obtains one. He questioned the possibility of a city building the facility while the NOTING THE North Branch library was built to serve Layton as well as other nearby cities, Mr. Whitesides said it is within a mile of many LN OTHER council action, unanimous approval was given to the Bouchard Construction Co. for the erection of a pump- house at the Sandridge reservior. Bouchard submitted the low bid for $79,125. Included in the bid is the installation of two booster pumps and the electrichook-u- p necessary to put this pumping station in full operation.

Library Director Jeanne Layton said that had been the previous policy before regional libraries were built. Thats why we had a lot of small libraries (Farmington, Syracuse, Clearfield, Layton and Bountiful). The locations were moved depending on the city. Library needs were secondary to the city. SHE SAID up to now all county taxpayers, except in Kaysville where a separate library is operated, had paid for the current facilities. Agreeing with the regional concept Board Member Sharon Smith, also a Layton resident said, Im for the regional concept but I know Layton wants, and needs, a library. I'm a little torn, myself." CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 By TOM BUSSELBERG The first phase of the municipal elections is over for 1981 as primary election victors in those cities where they were held prepare now for the Nov. 3 vote. PRIMARIES W ERE held in only three north Davis cities: Clearfield, Layton and South Weber, with the mayors seat running uncontested in South Weber. In her two big brothers to the south, though, some in- teresting results for mayor appeared. Clearfield, Neldon Hamblin, who has served eight years on the city council, gave a strong showing in the race, gamering 595 votes vs. 229 for Incumbent Donal W. Town-leContender Jay I. Barlow, meanwhile, pulled 121 votes and is out of the race. y. IN LAYTON, Incumbent Lewis G. Shields, seeking his fourth term, commanded a 932 vote in the mayoral race while former city councilman Robert G. Austad came in with 237 votes. A third candidate, Nathaniel C. Johnson, took 196 votes. Looking at the council race in Clearfield, two four-yea- r terms will be open for grabs with 12 entering the primary. Top vote getters, who made it into the finals, were Joan Baird, with 224 votes, Paul W. Boogs, who received 245 1 THE COUNCIL authorized more weed complaints. Mayor Shields commented he believed Layton was benefiting from this weed control program. He cited the improved appearance of the vacant acreage near the Bank Of Utah on Fairfield Rd. as an example of one area that had improved since the council had taken action against weeks. Councilman Golden Sill reported he had talked with Police Chief LaMar Chard about extending the time for city traffic guards assigned to busy school crossings. The chief said he was currently conducting a study to see if there was a need for crossing guards to be on duty for more than he allotted, two hours. THE QUESTION of hiring crossing guards for longer periods of time was raised at the last council meeting by Councilman Sam Trujillo who had received a request from the E.G. King PTA safety committee asking a traffic guard be kept on duty for more time before and after school to help children cross Fairfield Rd. Chief Chard felt nothing should be done until his study was completed. There is no money in the current budget for more school guard time. COUNCILMAN Sill requested that any assistance the PTA might want to give the crossing guard at the Fairfield intersection be carefully coordinated with the police department. Mr. Sill reported the reduced speed zone sign or Gordon Ave. near E.G. King School had been moved so traffic approaching the school from the West could see it in time to slow down before reaching the school. MAYOR SHIELDS said the speed limit on Gordon Ave. had been reduced from 40 mph in some spots to a uniform 35 mph. Ammendments Slated For Sunset Pawnbrokers And Junk Dealers POLICE Chief Archie By MARK D. MICKELSEN SUNSET - A report that certain local business establishments are fencing stolen merchandise has prompted ac-- tion from the Sunset City Council. THE COUNCIL began Thursday by reviewing several amendments to the citys existing pawnbroker and secondhand junk dealer ordinances. The proposed amendments will further restrict the dealers, their hours and the methods used in identifying incoming merchandise. According to city attorney Steven R. Bailey, separate ordinances are needed for pawnbrokers and second-han- d junk dealers because each reg- ulates a different type of establishment. Primary Results In 1 1 KEIR CORP. is beginning phase three (the final phase) of Stone Hedge, a 60 unit government subsidized housing complex, located on Fairfield Rd. and Gentile St. Two million dollars worth of bonds are needed to complete the project. The council vote was tied at two in favor and two opposed. One councilman abstained from voting. Mayor Lewis G. Shields cast the deciding vote in favor of authorizing the bonding. KEIR CORP. will now work with the Davis County Housing Authority to sell low interest bonds. Layton city will assume no obligation or no responsibility in the sale of these bonds. Council approval was needed before the Davis County Housing Authority could proceed to work with the Keir Corp. on the sale of the bonds. The Davis County Housing Authority will be responsible to see that Keir Corp. meets their obligations and to see that the housing development is adequately maintained once it is completed. built on the corner of Main St. and Antelope Dr. This allows the sale of beer but prohibits the consumption of beer on the premises. chandise.

Sam Trujillo at 518 and Incumbent Lynn W. Wood with 601. ONLY ONE candidate-Will- iam R. McGuire, who received 325 votes, didnt garner enough votes for Nov. 3 ac ar tion. In South Weber, Mayor Rex Bouchard faced no opposition while six contenders entered the race for two four-yea- r council seats. Those receiving enough votes to enter the finals were: Ernest Miller, with 171 votes, Jeffery G. Monroe with 105, Lynn D. Poll at 89 and Arnold S. Polf with 53. INSUFFICIENT votes were tallied by Mark K. Wilson, who received 32 votes, and Rex E. Feustel, who received 18. and Rodney F. Vaterlaus. In Fruit Heights, Mayor Neil K.
