BLODGETT BUT THE PSC, in a SALT LAKE CITY - In a surprise move Friday, Mountain Bell Telephone Company filed a petition with the Utah Public Service Commission for a rehearing of extended telephone service in Davis -- V3flh J kUi- - County. PTraiainiBME', 2-- 1 split vote, later reversed the portion of the petition dealing with calls to include Salt Lake and amended the ruling to allow calls between e Salt Lake and Kaysville-Layto- n to be as well. Olof E. Zundel, of Bountiful, a member of the PSC, explained that, it is the procedure of the Public Service Commission to allow any party involved in a hearing to file for a rehearing within 20 days after a ruling is rendered by the PSC. toll-fre- three-memb- THE TELEPHONE company did not challenge the entire PSC ruling of last month, but did seek a rehearing specifically on the ruling allowing e area customers to call toll-fre- to Salt Lake City. Mountain Bell also referred to the service that PSC countywide toll-fre- e favored, saying that there was not enough testimony (in the hearings) to support need for extended area service between Bountiful and Clearfield. THE PETITION alleges that records do not support the PSC ruling for extendto ed area service from Kaysville-Layto- n include Salt Lake City and that Salt Lake customers were not allowed adequate participation in the part of the hearing the necessity of that would affect them Prom at Layton High School, this week, and one lad apparently doesnt want to take any chances on getting his date.

The dance was just a little more than a week away, to be held Saturday, March ?L, vi;.. '; AS CHRIS got close enough to the place where David works to see the Smedley Plumbing sign, she knew the answer to her question, Yes, she had a date for the Junior Prom.

FARMINGTON LAWRENCE ' Construction submitted a bid of $997,799 base plus secondary bids of $5,385 for asphalt and $58,885 for completion of the basement. Architect Don Frandsen had estimated construction costs at $1.2 million. A total of six bids were received for the basement and main floor addition. The commissioners said they hope for Completion within a year though Lawrence Construction, also contractors for the courthouse addition, have seen delays adding about a mtinth to completion of that' facility. ! ; THE ADDITION will add cell space, including facilities for women who must now be housed in Weber or Salt Lake county jails. Jim Chamberlin, Mr. Frandsens partner, said the lower level will include an auditorium, communications center, emergency services office, locker room and criminal laboratory. The cells will be on the upper level. The facility will include 9,240 square feet on each level-- i and can be expanded with an upper story, he said. It will be built of brick veneer and with block reinforced con-- , concrete, struction. substantial I ' i OTHER action, the commission set a March 27 date to review a proposal for installation of a new, larger computer operation.

I suppose some people will always have a fault that something can become addictive but we can't hide from everything.

Mr. Harris made a motion to retain the present ordinance but it died with no second. CHIEF CHARD said the original ordinance was' passed about 12 years ago after problems had arisen with payoffs but said, "I'm rather neutral. I suggest you could pass it (the revision) and see what happens. At that. Councilman Robert Austad made a counter motion favoring passage of the change the citys ordinance prohibiting playing of pinball machines by those under 18 between 8 a.m.-- 4 p.m. weekdays during school months. A change had been asked by several businessmen, including the owner of one convenience store containing a pinball machine. Part of a national chain, their outlets generally contain such equipment. PREVIOUSLY, youngsters under 18 couldn't play pinball at all, Police Chief LaMar Chard said. Speaking against the change was Councilman Randy J.

THE COUNCIL did pass an ordinance lowering the age allowed for checkers to sell beer in places with a Class A beer license. That includes grocery stores or other places where it is sold in a container, and not drunk on the premises. Formerly, checkers had to be 21 but under the revised ordinance, someone between 18 and 21 may sell beer if an employee over 21 is present and can supervise. THE MOTION passed by a three-tw- o vote. The change was prompted after some larger grocery stores claimed it was difficult to find employees and over to man all cash registers. In smaller operations, such as convenience stores, if a single employee were operating the store he would have to be 21 or older, tb REGARDLESS of the PSCs decision, whether the commission upholds its ruling or changes it, any party may file an appeal with the Utah Supreme Court. This is a customary procedure for all PSC hearings, explained Commissioner Zundel. HE SAID that in this particular case, any party involved in the hearing could be any of 200 or 300 persons who testified during the hearings held for several months before the final PSC hearings last month. Monday afternoon, the Division of Public Utilities filed a suit similar to that of Mountain Bell, but even more restrictive in that the Utilities Division wants Davis Countys extended area service limited to calling only between Farmington and Clearfield and no e service for county e customers. toll-fre- East Layton Council Decides On New Shooting Ordinance ID! lOSti After that, the PSC has 10 days in which to determine if the petition from Mountain Bell has validity for a rehearing or to uphold its (PSC) ruling.

GATHERUM The East Layton city coun-- . cil considered the adoption of two ordinances at their March 13 meeting. The first or- dinance was a home occupation ordinance. The council tabled this proposal because the wording did not reflect the intent of the council. It will be brought up at the March 27 council meeting. A SHOOTING ordinance was adopted. The law will allow hunting within the city limits during posted hunting seasons and if the shooting is 600 feet from a. residence. Shooting on target ranges can be done with the approval of the chief of police. The two ordinances were to be adopted several weeks ago but there were several problems that had to be solved before the council felt they could act on them. In other action, Berny Nalder was granted a from A- to C- on a one acre parcel he owns that faces Fairfield Road. This acre would connect with other Cproperty. Mr. Nalder will -l -l -l probably build an office building on this site. He said definite plans are way in the future. MR. BARNES, city manager, reported on the progress of the city well. The drillers will plug the bottom of the well and set up a test pump as soon as 600 feet of broken cable are removed from the well casing.
