I - - - - ' K;vmt ; AN EXTENSIVE information program on the upcoming county-wide county-wide bond election has been underway throughout Utah County. Posters, brochures and other printed material have been distributed throughout the county under the direction of Don T. Allen, chairman of the Project Two Thirty-Nine Executive Committee. Here Chairman Allen gives material to Mrs. Bill (Margaret) Pope, Provo, while County Commissioner Paul A. Thorn looks on. Fa cfs Call For Tes' Vote On Bond Election Jan. 18 There's been a lot of talk around Utah County lately about crime control and $2.39. It all ties in with a special election being held -next Tuesday, January 18, for a new judicialsecurity building, to be constructed in Provo immediately east of the existing County Building. These are the facts about Project Two Thirty-Nine, and we think they speak for themselves: 1. With a 152 percent increase in crime over the past 20 years, Utah County is sadly overdue in providing proper facilities to contain ever-growing numbers of prisoners. The present jail is an abandoned pump plant. A number of jailbreaks in recent years graphically illustrate its un-suitability un-suitability as a confinement place for prisoners. The sheriff, your county commissioners, com-missioners, judges and other county officials agree that it is entirely inadequate for today's to-day's needs. 2. The new judicialsecurity facility, our county leaders assure us, will help to control crime by providing a new and adequate jaiL Importantly, also, it will help control crime by providing adequate administrative and tactical facilities for the county sheriff; by isolating young, first-time offenders from hardened criminals; by making available needed space for the rehabilitation of prisoners; and by properly containing our prisoners in a facility designed to hold them, as required by statute. 3. Utah County offices are presently spread over more than a half-dozen locations, and offices in the County Building, (built in 1926 when the population was approximately 35,000), are hopelessly overcrowded. The new facility will provide not only a new jail, but needed new facilities for a number of county departments, thus relieving the crowded conditions and consolidating your county government for more efficient operation. opera-tion. 4. The present bonding proposal is the result of exhaustive study by your cottety commissioners, community leaders, professional pro-fessional consultants of the Federal Bureau of Prisons; and state and municipal prison authorities. A wide segment of the community com-munity supports the project as being a legitimate legiti-mate and immediate public need. 5. Utah County has been pronounced in excellent" condition to undertake a bond issue, with no present bonded indebtedness. 6. No tax increase is involved. The $2.39 figure represents an average per-resident per-resident yearly cost for the $4 million project pro-ject over its 20-year payoff period. The payoff money comes from a mill levy established es-tablished for capital Improvements several years ago. No one argues the need for adequate security facilities in this county, and no one can take issue with the seriously overcrowded over-crowded conditions in the County Building today. What's needed, then, is simply a strong "Yes" vote next Tuesday, January 18, in support of Utah County's new judicial' security building. We urge such a vote.

By a split vote Tuesday night the Orem City Council approved the proposal for construction of a 50-unit government-subsidized planned - dwelling apartment "house complex to be built one block west of the Orem Post Office. The action came as the climax of a public hearing on the matter mat-ter which had been continued from January 4 to give Council members mem-bers an opportunity to study the proposal further. At last week's public hearing tba Council denied the request of the Ross B. Hammond Company Com-pany of Portland, Oregon, to move the present R-2 Zone on Center Street eastward to accommodate ac-commodate the new development. The zone change had been requested re-quested by the developers so that the more stringent fire code requirements re-quirements of the C-2 Zone would not have to be incorporated into the apartment complex. Appearing at Tuesday night's public hearing on the project, Jack Miller, president of the Ross B. Hammond Company, told the Council that his architects would revise the plans and specifications spec-ifications for the apartments to comply with the requirements of Fire Zone I. "We think this development will be a credit to your community," Mr. Miller told the Council. Concerning the proposed landscaping land-scaping of the development, Mr. Miller said his company is prepared pre-pared to enter into a contract with Orem City to spend up to $10,000 in landscaping and beautifying beau-tifying the apartment complex. In answer to a questionbyCarl Clegg, local realtor, regarding the financing of the project, Mr. Miller said, it would be built under the provisions of Section 236, F. H. A. with an interest subsidy to the developer. Marvin Jensen, local builder, said he is concerned about the proposed location of the development develop-ment in the center of town. "We have sought other locations loca-tions to no avail," Mr. Miller stated. Councilman LeRoy Walker, a member of the Orem Planning Commission, said, "The Planning. Commission has not changed its position in recommending the approval of this development at the proposed location." Councilman Glen Zimmerman stated, "I don't feel Uj Is the right place for this development, although we need it someplace in town," Councilman Harley M. Gill-man Gill-man said, "I feel there would be pressure brought to bear on the developers to rent apartments to people with incomes less than $7,500." At this point Dan Simons. president of the Apartment House Association of Utah, rose to accuse ac-cuse the Council of discrimination discrimi-nation against low income groups.

"Land finds its highest and best use," Mr. Simons continued. "This particular piece of land is owned by Sid Harmon, one of the largest shopping center fievelopers in the West, and he has not seen fit to use it for a shopping center." Mayor Winston M.

People have to have a place to live, and the Council must decide whether we are to have this development." "This won't degrade the area," the Mayor continued. "It looks-like looks-like a beautiful development." On the motion of Councilman E.
