Fire Calls: Dickson' Utah county should pay $30,-000 $30,-000 per year for fire protection rather than the $12,000 it now pays, according to Lloyd B-Dickson, B-Dickson, Provo fire chief, who issued a letter to the pres today to-day clarifying the stand of cities cit-ies with respect to furnishing fire protection outside their own corporate limits. Chief Dickson pointed . cut that on a basis of assessed valuation, val-uation, Salt Lake, Cache and Weber caunties pay from six to 12 times more for protecting the unincorporated areas of their county than does Utah county, either by furnishing separate fire fighting facilities or by participating with the cities. Mr. Dickson's letter was written writ-ten in order to clarify the stand of most Utah county cities' with regard to the city-county arrangement arr-angement for fire protection in the unincorporated areas of the county. The letter follows a series of meetings which have been held between city officials in Utah County and the county commissioners at which equitable financial arrangement has been discussed. The letter reads, in part, as follows At present, the county pays $12,000 SEWER . : PROJECT. . I ON ITS WAY Notice of intention was pub-; lished today by the Orem City council for the installation pf approximately one mile of sewer sew-er line in the southeast section of th city at a cost of approximately approxi-mately $12,750. The sewer installation is slated slat-ed for Lincoln street at Fifth East street to run eastward for 3300 feet on the south side of the street; and on Fifth flast street between Eighth South street and 1010 South. The installation will cost between be-tween $2.46 per front foot and $3. 27 per front foot-' The city council will hear protests or objections to the improvemwits, should there be any, at their meeting October 4.
