The plans are all made; most of the loose ends are tied up, and everything is ready to go for the Midvale Carnival-Fair- . Residents demonstrate of Midvale must now whether or not they really want to have a community celebration during the summer. No one else can decide. With the support of the community the celebration will be a big success. Without the support of the community on Saturday the celebration will fall on its Jordan Valley Sentinel Continuing the Midvale Sentinel face. Those who have been planning the celebration have worked hard to provide some activity for everyone in the community. The only people that can provide any reward for the hard work are the people of the community. Midvale Firemen and the Fire Ladies Auxiliary will participate in the Carnival-Faithis week. The ladies will raffle off a handmade quilt, while will the men participate in demonstrations of fire fighting equipment and challenge the Sandy department in a water polo game. r of the Becky Brown of Brown's Shoe Boutique in Midvale shows some the with in week shoes that the store will be selling this conjunction Men's of Duke's to Duke D'Autremont, owner shop Midvale Carnival-Fai- r in Midvale. Sandy . . Complaint registered Mrs Carter Davis registered a com- plaint against the inspection department at the July 31 meeting of the Sandy council. The inspector had approved cement work on a driveway and sidewalk at the Davis home which did not have expansion joints. Councilman Dick Adair explained to the Davises that Sandy s building ordinance does not include specifics on outside cement work. Mayor Dewey Bluth asked the Continued on page 10 Last week we asked some questions about the Salt Lake County recreation bonds that citizens will be voting on next week, and no one in the county saw fit to provide us with any answers. So the only thing we can surmise is that the county officials either don't know the answers or they just don't want to answer the questions. We don't know how much the bonds will cost us if they are sold for more than the 5Vz per cent interest rate. We don't know where the money will come from if the cultural hall runs more than the money allocated, and we don't know what will happen if the county should need to bond in other areas. There is another hidden cost to the taxpayers in the county that hasn't been assessed by the promoters of the bonds. If the county acquires the 3,500-plu- s acres of land that they say will be needed for recreational facilities, who will pay for the loss in tax revenue that will be incurred by taking that land off the tax rolls? Once the land is taken off the tax rolls it will stay off for ever and will never generate revenue again for the county or any other government agency. One of the reasons that Salt Lake City has constant tax problems is because so much of the land within the city is owned by various government agencies and does not produce any property tax revenue for the city. The county could fall into the same position if the county leaders continue to let government get bigger. During the past two years residents of the south end of the county have voted on and approved bond issues that allowed the school district to build more schools, approved bond issues that allowed some communities to expand and improve water distribution systems, and approved bonds that allowed sewers to be constructed in the south end of the county. Not all of the bonds have ended with direct tax increases to the property taxpayer, but most have provided indirect costs to the taxpayer. We supported the bond elections that have faced the voters in the past two years because we felt that they were necessary to the well being of the community and were necessary functions of the government. But to ask taxpayers to pay for a function of government that is not truly a necessity during a period of inflation is wrong. Hopefully, one day inflation will end and prices will get into line, but until that time comes the county recreation program should do the best they can with what they have just as the guy that they are asking to pay bills has to do. Midvalo's Carnival Fair promises some of the top entertainment to be seen in the valley on Saturday, Aug. 10. Beginning at 7 a.m. there will be things to eat, things to sec. things to do, things to laugh about, learn about, and appreciate as Midvale celebrates its 65th birthday.

Carl Nelson, a planner with the Salt Lake County Recreation Dept., attended the council meeting to answer questions that council members had concerning the proposed $49.5 million recreation bonds that will be voted on Aug. 13. Nelson told the council that the recreation department's figures indicate that Midvale city has 1.7 per Recreation bonds lack support at Kiwanis meet The proposed $49.5 million county bond issue for recreation purposes failed to get much support Monday Animals for chasing, catching, dressing, riding, and showing will be the center of attention at the Herriman Days celebration Aug. 9 10. A rodeo for hometown cowboys Friday evening with bucking broncos and steer riding will start the celeanimal bration, and even more 'far-ousports are scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

Councilmen told Nelson that they felt that the county should have asked for input from the city before plans were made for any projects that will affect Midvale. Councilman A.M. Ross said that Midvale has been disregarded all the way down in the line in recreation projects. Councilman Donald J. Poulsen told Nelson that if the county would not raise the mill levy to pay for the program that Midvale could raise their mill levy the same amount intended by the county and get more mileage from the money that would be generated locally. The council did not pass a resolution either for or against the bond issue, but they will make their feelings known to County Commissioner William Dunn in a letter. Herriman townfolk offer 'wildlife'fun and games evening in a roundtable discussion at Midvale Kiwanis Club. Projects to be covered by the bond issue were cited, and members ex pressed the opinion that apparently the county officials included a w ide scope of projects in an effort to please everyone and as a result pleased no one. The catchall aspect of the bond issue was particularly criticized by Kiwanians during their informal discussion. Members also noted that the only Midvale project included is development of the park at the south edge of Midvale, which was rejected by the council as a city park, and has never been used by any organized sports groups. It was reported that Murray citizens .ire opposed to the proposition, which will Im- voted on at a special election or, Tuesday. Aug. 13. because no Murrav projects are included.
