Residents living in unicorporat-e- d areas are not subjected to the utility tax because state law does not allow counties to impose utility taxes. "The new County Council, however, is looking at the possibility of imposing utility taxes for the county's unincorporated areas as a way of generating additional income." Those in opposition to the future incorporation of Magna argue that in order to incorpo-rat- e, property taxes would be. elevated to among the highest in the state in order to pay for essential city services.

Heaven never received so many laughs, or so many headaches, than it does with the antics of Joe. played by Hale Theater newcomer Daniel Lasko. Lasko takes the role of the "in the pink" pug and brings him to life, from arguing with the messengers about the type of body he wants to have, to falling in love, to playing an saxophone.

"This is a good stop-ga- p solution bt a new school needs to be built there," Pulsipher said. While all of Magna's schools d are currently on a schedule, Whithers said that building a new school in Magna is third on the list following two proposals for new schools in the new Hunter subdivsion and the Diamond Summit subdivisions in West Valley.

The play follows the same storyline as the original movie "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," which then inspired a newer version starring Warren Beatty, Julie Christie and Diane Cannon. The message left in the end. Joe is the essence of one who "fights" for what is right and tries to do the right thing for the right reason, even though he doesn't have to. "Joe is a good reminder. Life is too short, some things are worth fighting for," said director David Nieman. "He is given the chance to leave the rest of the rat race behind in exchange for eternal bliss. He chooses instead to fight for life rieht here with the rest of us. Heaven Can Wait continues at West Valley's Hale Centre Theatre Mondays through Saturdays through Oct. 20.

Music of the 1940's and 50's between scenes set the tone for the time element of the comedy Highlights of the Saturday opening of Heaven Can Wait included scenes of Joe building up Farnsworth's rundown body with the assistance of Mrs. Ames, played by Vicki Pugmire and Joe, as Farnsworth, trying to convince Max who he really is.

Copper Hills Elementary School is expected to receive students currently attending Hillside Elementary School that live between 4100 South and 4700 South and 6400 West to 7200 West. Another major concern of the district was how to relieve overcrowding at Silver Hills Elementary School. The area contains two large subdivisions, which are still expanding, including Diamond Summit and Parkridge. The district's proposal would move students that live between 5600 West and 6400 West and from 4700 South north to existing Hillside boundry from Silver Hills to Hillside Elementary School. To accommodate the Silver Hill students, 90 students from Hillside Elementary that live beteen 4100 South and the Salt Lake Canal would move to Orchard Elementary School. An additional 120 Silver Hill students that live between 5700 West and 6400 West between the canal and 4100 south would move to Whittier Elementary. "Even with the increase in students Whittier will not need d to go to a schedule for at least two more years," said Jerry Pulispher, director of Planning and Boundries for the district.
