Becaus'e the six cars are not patrol vehicles and dont require extensive options, Johnson said he may be able to take advantage of rebates and discounts, and possibly buying slightly used cars if they meet the requirements. You couldnt do that if you bid, he said. I think you get negotiating. Johnson said other departments have used the negotiation method to save money. Commissioners Glen E. Saunders and Harry B. Gerlach agreed that it may be worth the experiment, and gave Johnson their approval. Commissioner Harold J. Tippetts is vacationing and did not attend the meeting.

At a recent public hearing, the council heard protests from farmers who feel water rights one-thir- d should be considered independent of property rights and that the city has no authority over water rights. The citys position is that water must be provided to subdivisions. The ordinance amendment further states that if the farmer doesnt have enough water, the subdivider or property owner would be required to pay the city an amount equal to the market value of each share he . lacks, plus ditch rights, less the market value of water that may have already been transferred. The amendment would mean, in effect, that when a farmer sells his land to a subdivider. quartet consisting of Jenai Isatt, Brenda Cook, Ryan Kemp, and Jared Felt will perform as will a chamber group directed, by Kathy Skidmore and Dennis Wright. The public is invited to attend the performance. In May the Layton Civic Arts Association will feature A Light Night at the Opera which will be a humorous rendition of opera.

Company management thought it could make up for its losses on the well site because things were going better than expected on the transmission line project. But problems occurred with that project also, said Jones, and the firm spent $89,000 completing it. We were doing better on the transmission line design phase, said Jones, and thought we could make them both come out. Jones said his company will , lose approximately $5,000 on the well project and $1,000 on the transmission line design phase. Club Leaders Can Get Training Farmers Protest Proposal Farmers in Board Members expressed their concern that cost overruns on the project were not reported to the districts management. Jones explained that his firm had another contract with the district, a lump sum agreement with the district for $88,000 for 4-- H by j SYRACUSE 4 project. Original estimates on the project for engineering consulting fees was $15,000, but because the firm was unsure of the scope of the project, and because of an erroneous low estimate, the cost to the firm was $45,000, according to Kent Jones, Ogden office manager for the company. The engineering firm estimated that it would cost $5,000 for work on a pump station for the well. That estimate should have been between $20,000 and $30,000, said Jones. The engineering company claimed the well contract was based on an hourly rate and could exceed the projects esti y rm:n, A But, he said, he has been advised that the contract is based an hourly rate and had changed his mind.
