But once it begins, its a dtelease that spreads therough a relationship and withers it with blame and blows of abuse. And the disease spouse abuse is not only present in Davis County, its flourishing. From August through November of 1982, spouse abuse cases reported to the Utah State Protective Services Division in Layton exceeded the total amount reported to the department in all of 1981.

But it is difficult to give one definite personality description of the abuser. They can come from different sections of society, social groups or races.

At present, each city except Bountiful hires outside firms to collect garbage and haul it to the landfills. As the idea was studied, several factors were coming together in the resource recovery plants favor. First, Hill Air Force Base needed to increase its supply of steam. The plant could help to fill this need thus creating an early market for energy. Second, the plant was put out to bid. And the lowest bidder gave the county a special deal. Not only was bid $7 million less than the next bidder, but also less than engineering estimates. could offer a special deal because the company had never before ,built a resource recovery plant in the United States. is a a part of Katy Industries large U.S. conglomerate, The company is also associated with a firm Seghers of Belgium that has built ten resource recovery plants in Europe. has been given the okay to use Seghers technology to build plants in the U.S. The Davis plant, then, would become a showplace a model for other communities considering a similar plant. As part of the deal, the countys landfills would also be taken over by thus turning them over to private Katy-Segher- s, Katy-Seghe- rs Katy-Seghe- rs Katy-Seghe- rs Katy-Seghe- rs Katy-Segher- s, enterprise. The landfills would be needed to dispose of materials that could not be burned, according to Jefferies. And tipping fees (the charge to dispose of garbage at the plant and at the landfills) could be standardized. Regardless of whether a resource recovery plant is built in Davis County, the two d landfills need major revisions, according to Richard Harvey, county environmental health director. According to a study done by enEmcom, a California-base- d gineering firm, the North Refuse Disposal dump has 35 years of life left if $2 million of improvements are made, $771,000 of which should come in the first year, according to the study. Harvey said the improvements only buy us (the county) county-operate- because federal and state restrictions on landfills time, are expected to be tightened in the future. If the planned improvements for NARD start this year, tipping fees for 1983 will be $7.74 a ton and will increase to $33.56 by the year 2009, according to Franklin and Associates, a Kansas firm which developed a cost analysis for the resource recovery project. But, according to the study, if the resource recovery project is built and takes over operation and maintenance of the two landfills, cities in the NARD area will pay an $8 a ton tipping fee when the plant begins operation, and BARD cities will pay $12 a ton because of a $4 transportation fee. Tipping fees should rise $1 a year for the first six years of the plants operation, according to the Franklin study, and then drop because of the sale of energy. The key element in plans for the resource recovery plant and-itattraction for its proponents lies not only in its ability to dispose of 95 percent of the countys garbage, but in its ability to convert that garbage to steam and sell it to Hill Air Force Base. The proposed builder of the plans to sell plant, steam from the plant to the base, saving the base and eventually county residents money, according to Richard Harvey, Davis County environmental health director. No formal agreement has been reached with the Air Force. The base now produces its own steam at a central heating plant using natural gas. Its the greatest situation in the world for Davis County and Hill, Harvey said. Its boilers Wont wear out as quickly, and it schedule back.
