However the best short term solution is one or two wells building up to the major treatment facilities. ACCORDING to Ivan Flint.

Flint says "We are planning to request that a couple of our current permits be transferred to a new one which should be a matter of formality." new well along with necessary pumping equipment and hookup lines. Nielsen, Maxwell and Lang-sgar- d conducted a feasibility study during recent months, and have recommended the new well as the only feasible solution for the very near future. THE PROBLEM, according to Weber Basin Water officials. is that they are out of water in that all of the water they now have available is committed to current THE FEASIBILITY studies have shown that within a few years down-the-roa- d. that plans should be made to bring water from Willard Bay into a large water treatment plant to at Smith and Morehouse. This project would be funded by the State of Utah using State funds. WEBER BASIN Water officials have not made a commitment on this project since it is not clear yet to what extent it will benefit water users with Weber Basin Water. Officials say this will be one of the main topics at the April meeting.

The costs to develop new water sources has gone up with inflation just like everything else.

By TOM BUSSELBERG library processing employees. After that discussion, board As a FARMINGTON first overture to joining the state processing system, the members said they wanted state. The county would either have to continue performing such functions or drop them altogether. In calling for the letter, Davis County Library Board approved drafting a letter asking when the county could expect inclusion and whether funding would even be available for such a move during a special Monday afternoon session. THE BOARD heard a report last week from a library consultant who indicated he would lean toward joining the state over retaining a completely separate library processing operation. Input was also received from state and county move. The Davis School Board opted to join the state system nearly three years ago with some claiming it has resulted in Targe savings. In last weeks meeting, though, it was thought savings for the county would amount to little more than a trade-of- f. THE COUNTY could possibly eliminate 114 positions, which the state would probably have to pick up.

If we go with the state and the governor cuts the budget three percent more are we going to be cut off?" asked County Comm. Morris Swapp, a library board member. We're not going to want to have to turn around and come back. If he (governor) cuts it what would we have to do? BUT HE said he would lean to the state because of information already received. Library Board Chairman Evan Whitesides said he estimated about $12,000 could be saved by the county if it joined the state. That was based on saving at least one position, for y to a park spokesman.

Several productions will be presented during the season. - The elcmcn-tai- y schools and retirement of a junior high principal have necessitated some shuffling in principal assignments for the Davis School District. THE BOARD of education approved the changes during its regular meeting Tuesday night where Lyle Webb, cur- rent assistant principal at Bountiful Jr. High School, was named to succeed Lou Gale, who is retiring. Other changes, brought on by the opening of a trio of new schools and closure of another, were also approved. Carl Peterson, current Hill Field Elementary School principal, will move to the new G. Harold Holt School in Clearfield while his place will be filled by Ed Case, who was Fremont principal. George Cook will assume principalship duties at the Fremont School, having filled that post at Pioneer in Clearfield, which is closing. about $7,000 plus supplies and value of space that could be freed for other uses. THE STATE might incur a $12,000 expense (if Davis joined it) but we are only one twenty-nint- h (with 28 other counties also contributing funds), Mr. Whitesides said, noting that he had talked with Weber County library officials concerning their processing and state relations.

The Davis system has about 150,000 volumes. BOARD MEMBER Robert Arbuckle, of Centerville, asked if the remaining processing operations in Farmington (supposing the county joined the state) could be retained rather than moving processing to the new Layton headquar- ters library, anticipated for opening in a couple of years. Officials have voiced concern about space and cost limitations for that facility.
