THAT BODY approved a 4.7 mill levy increase, upping the total package to 16.54. While that may seem hard to swallow, the council had considered a six mill increase, to 18 mills. In the same meeting, the council voted to bury a proposed utility tax that would have been .levied against utility firms operating within the city. Mayor Donal Townley said he. favored having taxes all out in the open. Everyone spoke against the utility tax (and the chambers were filled). student-bod- y secretary; and received the Blue Key, outstanding senior award. Receiving the Miss Photogenic award was Sherrie Rasmussen, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Rasmussen, West Bountiful. Ellen Hepworth, 18, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

OlcfiPlicid Oliays By TOM BUSSELBERG committee Centerville, was selected as the princess. Her attendants are Melissa Fondario, 4, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Fondario, Kaysville, first; and Charlotte Cor- nelius, 5, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Cornelius, Clearfield, second attendant. Little Benjamin Merrill, 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Merrill, Bountiful, charmed the judges into awarding the title of Davis County Prince to him. Selected as his attendants are Douglas Madsen, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Madsen, Layton; and Richard Harris, 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Harris, Bountiful. NO SPECIFIC percentage had been determined but the mayor said such a tax, if implemented, would probably continue and grow larger. In Salt Lake City, an original two percent tax has grown to eight percent, he added. The mayor said he had opposed the tax because it would be inflationary since extra manpower would be needed by utilities to compute the tax with that amount added to customer bills. A utility tax provides no correlation between funding city and utility collections but city fund needs can be coordinated through property tax. municipal elections this November 6 with three of the five city council members having their council seats expire in each community. Several will seek and some will win. But county election officials predict there will still be quite a turnover among the elected officials. ' IN for BOUNTIFUL, example, two of the long-tercouncil members whose terms expire have already announced they will not seek A third councilman, whose term also expires this fall, has not yet decided but probably will seek Veteran councilmen Warde Tolman and Don Perkins, both of whom have gewed on the council for seylwjv years, have announcedjiSthey do not intend to another term.

It is not necessary for candidates to produce petitions with names of 50 qualified voters as was the procedure in past years, said Mr. Carr. CANDIDATES IN the remaining 11 communities can be nominated through local party convention or by filing an individual petition with the city recorder, it was explained. Final election for all can- didates will be Tuesday, November 6. IRONICALLY, THE three councilmen in Centerville whose terms expire this year were appointed to fill unexpired terms. Thus, all three Dale Ford, Duane Price will and Ward Middleton be seeking election for the first time. A spot check of communities show that only one candidate has filed for candidacy business, the council approved an in- surance bid from Vern Smith of American State Insurance for $39,799 to provide complete coverage. The only other bid, from Action Insurance, was for $2,000 less but was rejected after the council had received input from state insurance officials and investigated company performance, the mayor said. The city is currently covered by American State and we have been fully satisfied with their service, Mayor Townley said. CANDIDATES IN these five cities must file before 5 p.m. on September 17. Vernon Carr, Bountiful, who is recognized as an election authority in Utah, said the early deadlines in the five above mentioned cities is a result of the cities adopting an ordinance allowing them to conduct city elections under specifications of first and second-clas- s cities although all cities in Davis County are rated as third-clas- s cities. non-partis- PRIMARY election will be held in each of the five cities to reduce the number of candidates to six (or two per each seat vacant on the counA cil). THE STATE said we better stay with what we have and in talking to a neighboring city to the north (Sunset) they said the competitor (Action) left a bad taste. .Deadline for the other 11 communities will be October 9, said Mr. Carr. UNDER THE additional .45-mi- ll levied in the unincorporated area's special service fund will be used primarily for fire protection and is necessary because of the fewer number of residences now in the unincorporated area due to annexations of large areas by cities, said Comm. Chairman Glen W. Flint. He also explained that there were several changes made in i50-mi- ll 1 78h thus far, although the filing d deadline for the five communities is more than a month away and deadline for the other 11 cities before-mentione- is not until October 9. THE LONE candidate to file is Kenneth Holman who has filed a declaration of candidacy with Centerville City Recorder Tess Porter. A breakdown of council members whose terms expire this year are as follows: BOUNTIFUL: Warde Tolman, Don Perkins and Paul Allen. The seat for Phyllis Southwick may also be up for election. This is being researched and will be announced soon, according to Mr. Carr. Centerville: Dale Ford, Price and Ward Duane Middleton. WOODS CROSS, Ralph THERE WERE numerous changes and additions to be made and we felt that it was better to make the changes now than to have to do the same work over again in a few years at a much higher cost, he said. The courthouse addition and remodeling will be completed by late fall and the levy will be removed 2.0-mi- in 1980. THE MILL levy was increased from 1.50 mills to 2.0 mills to bring in art additional $150,000 for additional costs. Total construction costs will exceed $1.5 million, com- missioners said. The new mill levy was based on an assessed valuation of just under $300 million after being adjusted for collectable taxes based on 91.74 percent collection rate. The actual estimated assessed valuation is closer to $325 million, according to Mr. Goldsberry. FEEL good about the I new mill levy and next year's said proposed budget, Comm. Emest Eberhard Jr. Ar-gyl- e, Larry Wilkinson and Craig Lavender. North Salt Lake: William Jackson, John Graves and Rodney Wood.
