FBI AGENTS and bank officials were not disclosing the amount of money taken from any bank. In fact, a Davis County Clipper reporter was turned away from the bank and refused pictures or a chance to get information by an FBI agent who said the doors of this bank are closed and no one is getting in. At the same time, a Salt Lake Tribune reporter was approached by local police who ordered him to get out of his car and he was then frisked . He was told he matched the description of the suspect. TWO BRANCHES of the Bank of Utah were robbed at gunpoint. The Roy Branch was robbed about 2 p.m. and the Centerville Br inch a few minutes later.

The planning commission has decided that the right way to handle multiple unit developments is not with conditional use zoning, but with a complete revamping of the city existing master plan. CHAIRMAN Harold Eborn said Monday the city has been guilty of allowing spot zoning over the last couple of years a move, which in many communities, eventually leads to law suits and inevitable problems for city planning officials.

Some concern arose from the council Thursday over whether or not a landowner wanting to dig in his own yard would have to obtain a permit. IN MOST instances, the individual must already get a building permit from the city to do any major building or house reconstruction. But Mayor Norm Sant said the city is looking to correct violations from major Off mates, work release programs, rules and regulations to be followed by inmates, etc. "We realize that jails are not hotels, but should be a clean and humane place for persons incarcerated for a crime to be detained from society," said Sheriff Johnson. - member evaluation team will usually include a police chief or sheriff, a jailer, a member of the Council of Criminal Justice, a public official, a e, etc. "We want persons s areas of the city.
