Huish, 9800 S. 1100 E.. who has donated the ground for this worthwhile project. There will be winners in each class, each first place winner receiving a Motocross bike, and then at the end of the day a bike will be raffled off among the entrants. There will other prizes too, which have been donated by merchants in Sandy. This special event is under the direction of the youth director, Gary M. Saville, and project director Fred Charnpneys of the Sandy Police Dept. Sandy Mayor Dewey C. Bluth discusses the master plan for Sandy developed by University of Utah geography students. The students presented the plan to the city last Thursday. UofU students prepare master plan for Sandy The astonishing five year growth in Sandy, which is fast becoming one of Salt Lake County's foremost "bedroom communities," has city administrators seeing red: Red tape and red ink. But a study compiled by University of Utah students with recommendations for Sandy's orderly growth is rubbing some liniment on the city's growing pains. The report was presented to city officials Thursday morning in Mayor Dewey Bluth's office by members of the U student team and their instructors. The city intends to use the study to aid in development of a master plan for Sandy in conjunction with Salt Lake .County. The study covered physical, social, economic, transportation and housing and factors in both immediate It was considerations. long term developed as a project for 30 senior and graduate students in the Practical Urban Design class of the University's geography department. The assignment was undertaken last January after Sandy City had sought planning assistance from the U Bureau of Community Development. Morris E. Johnson, a professional planner with the Bureau and an adjunct associate professor in geography, set up a cooperative arrangement between the city, the bureau and the U geography department which opened the way for the student survey. Meantime, the bureau is proceeding with related studies. Under the direction of Johnson and Dr. Elizabeth K. Burns, the students focused on five major areas: housing, bind use, economics, transportation, and populationsocial characteristics. The 35 page report, complete with charts, graphs and two col. 'd maps, is not intended to be a definitive guide for Sandy's development, Dr. Burns says, but will offer basic information for a detailed discussion of the city's problems and potential. The study notes that Sandy's population has tripled in five years (from 6.438 to approximately 22,000), water and sewer revenues are insufficient to provide new services and facilities, and that the area lacks a high volume, east-wes- t traffic corridor. In addition, Sandy's population contains disproportionately large numbers of school age children and correspondingly high number of residents in prime child bearing years (25 35), the study shows. Dr. Burns says this situation will bring additional problems within 10 years unless preparations are made. Other problems involve Sandy's annexation policy which has resulted in "leapfrog" development with irregular "islands" of unincorporated land within the city's boundaries. Utility service has been over extended leading to mounting deficit. A lag in commercial development is reflected in a proportionate decline in sales tax revenue, and a recreation assessment shows serious deficiencies, according to the five-rnont- growth dude: two basic study prof wise plans.

A formal annexation policy to "round off Sandy's boundaries and restrict growth which would be an economic liability. A hard look should be taken at the rational limits of Sandy's growth, the report says. In the interest of time, citizens' opinions were not solicited for the study, but Dr. Burns says this should be a priority item before final growth blueprint is adopted. "The project provided both the opportunity for students to gain first hand experience in planning work and the chance to offer a community service," says.

Stringent accounting procedures and management at Trans-Jordagarbage dump have paid off, according to financial reports for the fiscal year ending June 30. The facility came close to operating in the black this year. It has steadily shown increases in assets and operating revenues under the new management system that went into effect in March 1974. In addition to showing a marked increase in income from the pit operation, the dump is now also earning money from salvage sales and Mudy the J'.r.gh'. n MUf iTai-,t.- t, payment for the building that now houses Sandy City offices.

Some Jordan Education Association school members with "earlybird" duties have reported for work, but their services could cease Aug. 27. a JEA leader warned. JEA executive director. George McKay, said the members now at work are those who traditionally start work early to prepare for the regular school year such as counselors and football coaches. McKay said the JEA memliers' decision to rejiort for work despite the fact that contracts have not been signed "will save the public a lot of inconvenience." He said counselors are critically important at this time of the vear they d.rect the registration of students before s hool opens.

McKay said that to date, the Jordan District administration had refused mediation and that no contract talks were scheduled. At that time four cities decided that West Jordan City would no longer have sole for personnel, responsibility purchasing, and general operating procedures at the dump. Murray City assumed responsibility for accounting, and the four cities elected to alternate representatives as chairman of the board. Mickey Ross, Midvale councilman, was then appointed chairman of the board and is still serving. A six month comparative report prepared by Clifford J. Brown, Murray auditor, shows that during the first full six month period under the new management $14,000 was cleared for investments, and by the end of the year $35,000 had been invested to earn interest for the operation. During the previous year no funds at all were invested. Also in the first six months salvage sales at the pit earned $202.60, and the figure rose to $734.38 by the end of the first year. Here again, the previous year brought no revenue at all from salvage sales. Income from the pit increased $2,557.29 during the first six months under the new management, and by the end of the first year the increase had risen $10,520.46. The higher rate charged for dumping was not in effect until the end of December and cannot be credited for more than a portion of the increase. Under the new management system, there have been increases in payroll expenses but reductions in other operating costs. From June 30, 1974 to June 30, 1975, Trans-Jordaincreased its total assets from $98,255.34 to $103,352.46, and at the same time reduced its liabilities.
