Here, one of his sons maintains a Farmers Insurance outlet which broadens what Mr. Brough can offer potential home buyers. On the upper level the principal real estate agents maintain 12 individual offices that Mr. Brough calls, the finest in the state in real estate. from forging ahead with an expansion of his real estate business. Housing has never really recovered from the slump of 1979-8said Mr. Brough. Readers will recall double digit interest rates during that period. And for the last 18 months, things have slowed down, but I think were due for a change. 0, Moving to a lower level, room is provided for another five agents who will augment the business. Were hoping to expand more into Layton and into the southern portion of the county, Mr. Brough said. Finally, in the lowest level of the structure, Mr. Brough will place As if to beat that change to the punch, Mr. Brough is opening new offices and adding agents.

In the old building weve only been able to allocate a desk to this very important part of our business. Now we have several rooms devoted to our construction work. Throughout the tour of new facilities and discussions, one feels Mr. Broughs respect for a field that is, at best, unpredictable. He said forecasts each year only approximate what is really on the horizon. "Nevertheless, Ive gained the philosophy that we (Utah) tend to follow Californias real estate market, and theyve had several good years, he said.

The issue has been discussed by Recorder-Administrat- or day Eight-perio- d eyed by committee FARMINGTON Acting upon a request made by the DEA and other interested groups and individuals, the Davis County Board of Education has begun the organization of a committee to study the eight period high school program. All Davis County high schools with the exception of Woods Cross d use the plan. Students attend four class periods for 90 minutes each day. This means classes are given on alternate days. Davis High School started the pilot program four years ago. Supt. Richard Kendell noted the committee which will consist of 15 to 18 members will deal with the eight period schedule and other scheduling options. All six high counselors, parents, students, ' administrators and support staff, will be included on the central committee. The committee will be charged with identifying scheduling options, listing advantages and disadvantages of each plan, identifying information that needs to be collected and analyzed and preparing recommendations to the school district for action. The Board of Education wants to see a preliminary report by February or March of 1988. The final report and recommendations may take over a year to compile. ; W ""M M - & ' , K. ..V- s ;' u 'V y v j i oQ8 i ! cf Cossrce will; The Kay'svCe KAYSVILLE second Fta be holding it Tha bit saloon AC carting lot on Sntuny.Oct.lO. several hundred dollars that wi3 he tiled to suppat cofittnuaaty PChamber is currently r- in the process of pwchasing street 2C0 North Street banners for Kaysville Main SSeet and the been have instated on banners street Easiness District.
