One man was physically ejected from the meeting by the city police chief after repeated outbursts and warnings from Mayor Elmer Bar-lothat such outbursts would not be tolerated. The mayor asked the man to raise his hand and that he would in turn be recognized. The man told the council that he had heard it was attempting to sneak a liquid oxygen plant into the northwest section of the city by amending the zoning ordinance and that the council should wait until after the elections to consider the zoning change. Other residents voiced concern that homes would have to be torn down if medium industry were allowed into Bountiful. w Staff MOCK DISASTER "victim" Toney Emerson, 12, is loaded into ambulance by paramedics, Hal Manning (left) and Photos By even one area above Orchard Drive that could be possible sites. Jay Bingham, council member, said that allowing medium industry into the city would provide greater employment opportunities, and greater revenue to the city. He noted that other cities nearby have a higher tax base than we do. Phyllis Southwick, council member, suggested the ordinance be tabled so the language could be tightened, and the enforcement provisions strengthened. Roger Winslow seconded the motion, which was approved by the council. After tabling the zoning ordinance, the council decided to continue the public hearing on the ordinance in the next council meeting which is set for Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. In the ordinance, land that may ) be used for medium industry is restricted to the manufacturing, compounding, processing, asMany simply did not want sembling, packaging or testing en-of medium industrial businesses goods or equipment within an closed structure, or an open yard located near their homes.

Crandall also suggested that the WFRC get involved in reviewing the performance of the UTA bus system. He said that the rail system could be modeled after the Tiajuana trolley system in San Diego, Calif. The system in California was called inexpensive by Crandall at $5 million ambulances and the Davis County Sheriffs paramedics quickly responded to the call not knowing that what they would find there were nurses aide students with accident symptoms pinned to their chests. chain which called everybody quickly. Personnel were required to continue reacting as though it were a real disaster even though the 15 victims were healthy. Victims were transported into surgery rooms and care areas. Those who could not be handled by this hospital were assigned to other hospitals in the area. When the created crisis was over, the accredihospital had received a two-yetation from the Joint Community group. Hospital public relations director, Gayle Smith, said that that is quite an honor for the hospital. a mile. The system is carrying more people than was expected by officials, he said, but it still must be subsidized. All projects of this size and purpose are subsidized, he said. He told the council that a project like this would take extensive planning because once the track was laid it would be expensive to move. The council was asked to consider having a general study made of the area to determine possible alternative means of mass transit. irl Killed by Car ed CENTERVILLE A son, Centerville policeman.

Before the Reagan administration, the service was provided out of federal revenue sharing funds. If cuts like this are made, the county will have to support the paramedic program with local funds. The county will be unable to do this because it is already taxing about as high as it can, commis- said.

A big brother can sometimes come in news discussed another method of paying for the service. It was suggested that individuals who use the service be charged $50 and be set up similar to the Weber County system. Johnson said that the county could expect to collect from about 50 percent of the calls. The paramedics now respond to about 200 calls a month. Charging could potentially bring in $1,000 monthly, he said.

The mandate does not take effect until July 1, 1983, but Johnson told the commission he was worried about meeting it. Paramedics burn out after about four years and it takes six months to train a new one, Johnson said. At that rate, the program has a difficult time keeping the two units it has on the road now. It will be more difficult after the mandate takes effect, he said.

The vehicle the new one will replace presently has 75,000 miles on it and by the time the new one arrives it will have 90,000, the sheriff said. He estimates that the vehicles are driven 10,000 miles a month which requires their replacement every year. The new vehicle will cost between $12,500 and $15,500, Johnson said. Love Martha!
