The motion carried unanimously, and Nick Coles-sidecity attorney, was authorized to draw up an ordinance to this effect, i sewer hookup in the Salt Lake County was made last week at the home of District Sewerage Improvement Eldred Beckstead, 12317 South Redwood Rd., Riverton.

This week the "muckrakers" started their campaign to dig up any kind of dirt that they might be able to find to convince everyone that the forms of government in the county are bad. So far the greatest amount of muck that they have been able to find is that there may be some legal question as to the agreement between Salt Lake County and South Jordan. Big "deal! During the consolidation election campaign there were many questions raised as to the legality of different aspects of the proposed charter. Many of them with more serious consequences than the South Jordan agree ment. Bui at that time the proponents of the plan made the questions seem like trivia that could be taken care of with the passing of time. Now all of a sudden we re laced with this serious legal question of the South Jordan and Salt Lake County agreement. There are probably some problems with the South Jordan and Salt Lake County agreement, but a close look at the agreement between South Jordan and Salt Lake County just might solve some of the problems lor other muni i tf '.iht it's in the county. tuition rate is available which entitles each family member to one class per week.

The council agreed that this was acceptable. Mrs Andersen also said that the Jordan Valley Riding Club planned to donate from $300 to $500 to the city for use in building additional bleachers at the north side of the arena. Willie Martinez asked to be able to vacate M50 South as a street. Attorney Colessides said that this is a dedicated street and the statutes must be fol lowed in vacating it. A petition and a public hearing will be required before the street can be vacated. v - -- A public hearing was held to consider rezoning property located at 8870 South between 2800 West and 3200 West from RR1 to RR0.5. The change would allow Ivory and Co. to develop the area in lots. During the public discussion people living in the surrounding area expressed the concern that the smaller lots they would be forced to give up their animals. A petition against the zone change was presented to the council by Terry Holzworth representing citizens in the area. Mac Oswald, representing Ivory and Co., explained their proposed plan and stressed that property values would not go down, but the opposite would happen. He also said that animals could be kept on : acre lots if a conditional use permit were granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr Oswald pointed out that the West Jordan area is growing and that the people must realize this. After considerable discussion Mr Hunt moved that the zone change be granted, but the motion died for lack of a second and the zoning was not changed. Public hearings were set for Apr. 1 to consider annexing and zoning Vz acre owned by Marvin Steadman and also property at 8200 S. Redwood Rd. owned by John Green.
