County Attorney Jerry Hess stressed in opening comments that the bonds would not become a debt of the county. Industrial Revenue Bonds, he said, had been used other times by the county such as for the financing of the Chevron Shale Corporation in North Salt Lake. The bonds are what he termed conduit financing and are not paid off by tax revenues. The amount of the bonds is not to exceed $53 million. The money from the bonds would be a loan to the company interested in the burn plant, one of the affiliates of Chrysler Corporation. The money would be used along with the companys own capital to purchase the plant. The 1984 bonds that are now outstanding would be paid off from the sale of the plant. Only two members of the public of Davis County, Kenneth S. Reed and Jim Hurst, both of Clearfield, were present to ask questions and to speak against the sale and bond financing of the burn plant. On some points of the practicality of the plant, the men were told that the public hearing was not the place to discuss those points but those feelings should be addressed directly to the Board of the Solid Waste Special District. Mr. Hurst stated his concern over the way the money from the first bond sale had been used. Com. Harold Tippetts said that the county commission is not accountable for the expenditures of funds by the Bum Plant Board and that they are not in a position to defend the Special Improvement District. The purpose of the Industrial Revenue Bonds are to make money available to broaden the tax Continued Page 2 BREAKFAST; BIG SUCCESS Bowmans Market in Kaysville sponsored a successful 2nd annual Pioneer Day breakfast with wide support from suppliers and others making it an event enjoyed by hundreds of area residents.
