Show I Rtvitw, November 4. Editorials Hike A My While recommendations. The Board heard the advice, mulled it over carefully, and then decided on a quick side-ste- p. They passed the burden of decision on to the state, fearing if they took some students In buses the flood of demands for others would angrily pour in. From a report from John Brinkerhoff of the State Department of Public Instruction Wednesday morning it looks like the state might act with fortunate speed and resolve the requests by its next meeting of the Granite Board. but the board didnt know that Tuesday Thats good We think they should have faced the matter squarely night. and gone along with the committees recommendations. They were worried about the consequences if the state wouldnt reimburse them for the costs, but in the four cases in question no cost was involved since excess bus capacity was available anyway. The Granite Boani keeps insisting on its right and duty to act without public pressure yet in a situation like this it appears to us as though they let anticipated public pressure sway their decision. If the task force had come up with vague mouthings it would have been a different story . but the conclusions and suggestions were sound, and gave the board a very solid leg to stand on. The task force is to be commended - its members, under the chairmanship of Earl Tanner, and the guidance of the districts Dr. John Reed Call were Mrs. B. Z. Kastler, Mrs. Jerry L. Pinder, Mrs. Wayne 0. Ursenbach, Mrs Robert M. Novasio, Richard C. Howe, Mrs. Frank H. Brown, Marvin R. Bowden, Charles A. Woffinden, Mrs. Roy D. Breeze, A. L. Rosenhall, from the GEA; Captain Occie Evans, from the County Sheriffs office; G. Ernest Bourne, from the Utah Safety Council; and Mrs. C. C. Bush from the PTA. We look forward to the final report of the task force, and some immediate and positive .action based .on . this report to U$ve..samjiangerous conditions existing-withithe I should like to thank all those city folk who wrote my name In on the ballots last Tuesday In the Salt Lake elecall six at you.

Congressman Kings authority in this issue reaches further than a loud plea to the county commissioners. Salt Lake County has had exploratory meetings with representatives of the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers regarding federal participation in the storm drainage system and channel Improvements for Mlllcreek. The Army .Engineers believe that the present flood control laws give authority for federal participation in improvements of this nature. Mr. King hopes to persuade Congress not to appropriate money to tht Army 'Con of Engineers for this Venture. !.tf! and when Salt Lake County-'-ev- er requests such aid. r The reason Mlllcreek would have to be widened is that the corps of engineers requires that major flood channels be adequate enough to pass a 100 year frequency flood. Because the volume of water anticipated from a 100 year frequency storm will be excessive, the flood engineers believe that It will be necessary to provide channel lining for Mlllcreek and other tributaries. The planners believe 1 ) that the saving in right of way by lining the channels would offset the cost of a much wider right-of-wto required convey the anticipated flood flows in a natural earth channel. This is a strange type of controversy....

Congratulations to De v J ennings for his new position with the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council.. ..little did philosophy applies, municipal or county government cant be responsible for looking after every little problem a home-own- er might encounter. Yet in both of this weeks cases the problems that may seem confined to the hapless owners are not exclusively theirs. The county does have the obligation to fight fire with water, no matter what the obstacles. And in the problem with the residential area, the sewage might well cause pollution of Magnas water supply. The county zoning and building inspection departments are making some effort to remedy some problems with more rigid Inspection requirements. But it seems to us that a home buyer, or commercial, industrial, or residential developer has some obligation to Insure that basic utilities and normal emergen- -. cies which Involve the public can be handled. George Buxianas, Salt Lake County Commissioner Marvin G. Jenson, and State Highway district engineer Harry Wilbert discuss the possibilities of state control of the new Butterfield Canyon Road. To most of us, gazing up from the comfort of the valley floor the Oquirrh Mountains seem like desolate hills. Those hardy souls who regularly venture into them report otherwise, and we discovered a taste of their beauty and interest in a tour up the new Butterfield Canyon Road this week with members of the Salt Lake County Commission. At the summit of the partly finished road, Salt Lake and Tooele County Commissioners met with state highway department personell to discuss the possibility of putting the road under state jurisdiction, thereby having the highway department finish the work and assume the spearheading this project, the cooperation of the National Guard in its construction, and particularly Commissioner Marvin G. Jenson, who as commissioner in charge of the roads and bridges department has pushed the idea through to its present stage. Since the road will be of importance to other Utahns besides those living in Salt Lake County, a state takeover i makes sense. When Butterfield Canyon Road is finished, next summer the drive will be most worthwhile. The unveiling of the Seed was a phenomlnal success.
