Government tunas may De available to Lindon City to help in the improvement and development of the Lindon Marina and adjoining property. City Administrator Wendyl Jarvis said it was probably a long shot but they were going to try and get the funds. They are seeking some $120,000 for the recreation site. Before Lindon City Council passed an ordinance at their last council meeting, the police department could not technically confiscate anyone's driver's license or registration. The technical error was brought to the attention of Police Chief Leon Laws recently by city attorney Ray Harding. Under Utah State Code, the Uniform Operator's and Chaffeur's License Act allows a driver's license or registration to be seized, however, until the city itself adopts the ordinance, citations given to traffic violators would have to be handled through the county attorney rather than the city attorney, since it would require enforcement as a state rather than city law. massage of the council corrected the le2Ce.

I Stream makes for fine fishing Strawberry isn't the only place to go to catch trout according to Steve Fordham. His wife, Nila, and their four children were out to prove it early last Monday morning as they dipped their homemade poles with a skinny worm dangling at the end into a little stream running parallel to the railroad tracks west of town. Dad had fished there when he was a youngster and had caught a trout. Now Mom, Chad, 5, and Robert, 4, sat comfortably amid the tall grass on one bank, while Jennifer, 11, and Darrell, 9, perched atop the tunnel that carries the water beneath the tracks and on to the other side of Highway 89. And as the water traveled leisurely on its course they waited leisurely for a bite. Are there still trout there? May be no way of telling except by trying it yourself. One thing's sure it looked like a lot of fun. Grant (Continued from page 1) which will be used to advertise activities at the center. Citizens are urged to watch the sign for the upcoming activities. Council approved Plat E of the Autumn Cove Subdivision. The council discussed the petition to zone an area around 30 E. and Center as single family dwellings and exclude multiple dwellings from this area. The feelings of some council members was to have multiple dwellings scattered throughout the town. Councilman David Dickerson reviewed a request he had received to prohibit individuals from using chicken manure on their lawns. The council felt that no action should be taken on this request. A schedule will be set up requiring schools to water the lawns at night to relieve the water pressure problems during the daytime hours this summer. Usually the city sets up this watering schedule for the schools so that the watering can be done at night when demands on the system are less. The city water system is set up for 40-6- 0 pounds pressure, Coun-cilman Smith reported. Most cities have 30 pounds. The water pressure a home has depends on where the house is located. For instance at the end of the Battlecreek System might have more pressure than that and pressure regulators are needed at those homes. Automobile runs off 1-1- 5, j stops on Maxfield Lane I A Sandy woman received injuries when her car left Interstate 15 in Lindon and ended up on Maxfield Lane on Monday morning. Trooper Dave Sheen of the Utah Highway Patrol said that Sherri Airmet, 42, received abrasions and contusions on her head in the mishap. According to the officer the driver apparently went to sleep at the wheel, losing control of the car. The vehicle traveled down a 15 feet gravel embankment, through a freeway boundary fence, over a cement irrigation ditch, across a hayfield for 50 feet, through a fence and onto Maxfield Lane. The car did not roll over but the officer said that if she had come off at a slightly different angle it probably would have.

Sandblast (Continued from page 1) they had been using previously. Representatives from the sup-pliers of the sandblasting material were present when the tests were being run. One of them, John had a report with him in-dicating that the California Air Resource Board had run tests and approved their copper slag for use as a sandblasting material. Donna Brock, Pleasant Grove City councilwoman, was at the site on Monday to hear complaints and determine preliminary results of the test. The parties involved are now awaiting the results of the tests conducted but Mr. Matthews says they are not going to give up until the company has complied with their requests. Leeway (Continued from page 1) literacy classes, and supporters of a voted leeway say the district will not be able to educate children in the schools adequately unless more revenues are dedicated to education. "We have looked at several dif-ferent alternatives to increase revenues in the district, "Mrs. Peterson said. A voted leeway ap-pears to be the best alternative. In a resolution presented to the Alpine Board of Education recently, the District Public Involvement Council encouraged the the Board to take whatever steps seem necessary-o- r appropriate to increase revenues for the School District from all available sources, and that such funds continue to be used in a judicious and efficient manner. The resolution went on to say that the council members would help carry the message of the need for more funding to the schools. The leeway is the method Utah's school finance law allows local school districts to boost the level of their total school programs beyond that provided by the basic program. It must be approved by voters of the district in a special election. State law mandates that a 23.25 mill levy go to all school districts in the state. Local districts are then permited to add up to 10 mills to that, if local voters approve. Once the leeway is approved, the local board may set a levy each year not to exceed the amount authorized by the election. Several surrounding school districts have adopted the voted leeway. Their 1982-8- 3 levy limits are: Salt Lake, 9 mills; Granite, 7 mills; Murray, 6.93 mills; Jordan, 5 mills; and Provo, 1.39 mills. A voted leeway provides a district with flexibility and more autonomy in adding to their basic education, according to the Utah School Finance Reference Manual put out by the Utah State Office of Education. Since a public vote on the leeway must take place before the December before the school year, a leeway will not be an option for Alpine School District until school year 1984-8- But the Alpine District is starting to discuss the possibility now with a report on the progress of a leeway proposal planned for last night's school board meeting. Lloyd said the district still is undecided about how much taxing authority would be asked for if a leeway election is held, but he did have some figures about how much could be raised. A two mill increase voted by the residents of the Alpine District would bring an addition $1.2 million. Most of that would come from residents, although the state would pay over a third of that. Based on current taxing policies, an increase of a mill on property taxes would mean about $10.50 per year for the owner of a $70,000 home. The owner of a $100,000 home would pay $15 per mill increase. For each mill the district would raise $348,000, not including the state's participation.
