A California educational planning consultant told the board that by 1985 the district will have as many students living east of the Jordan River as there are now In the entire district. Ira B. Ralston, Odel MacConnell Associates, Palo Alto, California, presented the first segment of statistics gathered In planning a proposed 2,200 student Cottonwood High School at 5800 1300 East. He estimated that to meet mushrooming population, the district will eventually need 17 more elementary schools, three Junior high schools and three high schools In the Wasatch Front portion of Granite District east of the Jordan River. In order to determine specifically the size of Cottonwood High School, the consulting firm has examined enrollment projections for the area as well as the capacity of other high schools within the district. The population of Salt Lake City has grown slowly, the report said, while the population outside city limits has grown rapidly. The study Indicates Salt Lake City will continue to expand slowly for the next 20 to 25 years and most of the growth In the county will be experienced In suburban areas. A large percentage of this, he said, will occur In the area which constitutes the Granite School District. Dramatic demonstration of future school obligations was contained In the fact that the area comprising the Granite School District Is now only about 30 to 35 percent developed. Within the past ten years student enrollment In Granite has jumped from 18,724 In 1954 to 53,286 this year.

The board made no decision, tabling the matter Whether the National Education Association calls off In Utah is Its sanctions almost entirely dependent on the performance of the new Utah legislature, according to an NEA official here. The NEA source also Indicated that the national association would quite naturally follow the of the Utah Education Association before acting to call off the sanctions. He said that national officials In charge of the Utah case have not seriously considered any change In policy, and that the first review of the situation will come In February or March. Pre-Pai- d Money Hearing Due On Floods rapidly WASHINGTON, 10c Land Head To Talk Compromise 6 WASHINGTON, D.C. December 16, Max C. Gardner, director of the Utah Land Board, will be In Washington tomorrow for a meeting with John A. Carver Jr., assistant secretary of the Interior for public land management. v The purpose of the discussion is to explore possibilities a compromise between Utah and the federal government In the dispute over ownership of lands boron the Great Salt Lake. dering Such a compromise, especially over the intricate problem of defining the boundaries between state and federal land, could produce a single bill for action In the next session of for ng & islative session. But until these hopes are converted Into reality, sanctions will remain In effect. A ;v Congress. Complete agreement between the two sides Is not likely, however. That tills possibility exists at this point Is a tribute to Mr. Carver, who list summer reversed Interior Department policy by making it clear he favored Congressional action to settle the matter. This move gave a boost to bills which had been lingering without much hope in the House and Senate. Utah-sponsor- ed Though probably not crucial right now any narrowing of the differences between the two positions will make It that much easier when Congressional committee hearings on proposed legislation get underway early next year. David S. King visited Washington briefly Congressman-ele- ct last week to attend a conference for Democrats newly-electto the House and Senate. Mr. King, who served two terms In the House before dropping out In 1962 to challenge Republican Senator Bennett, was someblitz course, which was thing of an anomaly at the one-ddesigned primarily for House freshmen. The course covered such mundane matters as how to obtain ed ay 9 and set up office staffs, apply for committee assignments, make use of radio and television, and get around the District of Columbia. It provided the Second District Congressman a chance to renew old political acquaintances and to get the feel of the education upcoming 89th Congress.

The chandeliers are expected to sway. Caldwell, Richards and Sorensen, Inc., the engineering firm who put together the original study, first proposed a $10 million bond Issue to finance flood control but the sentiments of a citizens advisory council has swungtoward a two and one- - half mill method. In 1962 the Salt Lake Planning Commission prepared a 39 page booklet on floods. This pamphlet says, In part, Important opportunltes exist to decrease the cost and Increase the attractiveness of eventual plans. The master plan can preserve natural channels and flood plains by clustering open space uses such as parks and agriculture along the river and streams. Natural channels which drain flash floods can be kept open. Storage and detention reservoirs can be cooperatively managed to serve water supply, recreation and flood control purposes. The most economical and attractive solution to the flood control problem is a plan which emphasizes open land along flood courses and multiuse operation of reservoirs.

The society foots the bill but lW'Felmbursedby the county. Financed by the United Fund, donations and the legislature, Childrens Service Society makes no profit by helping the county with Its problem children. No fee Is charged. The request to revise the present arrangement was made by W. Lloyd Bennett, superintendent of the Salt Lake County Detention Center. This year a total of $20,000 has been appropriated for the shelter care program and all other child care obligations of the county. Mr. Bennett, however, predicted that the account would finish the year In the red due to an Increase in shelter care and payment for local children In other counties. Mr. Bennetts budget calls e case worker for one at $3,600 annually and a case aide at the same salary $1, part-tim- for clothfor special fees, ing, $2,000 travel expenses will cost $2, 000 and care of children $27, 000.

Commission chairman Clarence W. Brady, Jr, said the switch was the first step toward the future development of a shelter care program professionally staffed and planned to meet the needs of an ever Increasing number of dependent and neglected children. From April 1, 1963 to March 31, 1964, the society aided 292 children and provided the county with 4,769 shelter care days. In a letter to M rs. Virginia Bennett, Tuesday, Decern-- " ber 15, County Commissioner Brady lauded the Childrens Service Society for the wonderful support and help you have given to the children of this county. Although surprised by the service switch, unexpected Mrs. Bennett said our relationship with the county commissioners and county auditor has always been delightful. We havent talked over the transfer of foster homes yet, commented Mr. Bennett, But we will qse the homes avail- able. Foster families make the choice of being listed with the county welfaredepartment or with a private childrens agency. Staff-withe shelter care program will almost remain the same. A social worker and stenographer, both part time handled the project for the Society. County plans presently call for the hiring of one part time social worker. se How will the county provide for the additonal wardsdrop-pe- d Into their laps? W.
