Membership Cards Jenson Proposes Second Lake A proposal for a large reservoir, or lake, in the Cottonwood area along Big Cottonwood Creek met with generally enthusiastic reaction this week among those concerned with flood problems in I Salt Lake County. The-- ' reception was, so good in feet, that Commissioner Marvin G. Jenson has proposed another lake this one along Little Cottonwood Creek in an 1 area above 9 th East between 5900 South and Vine Street. x The Little Cottonwood lake would also involve a rerouting of Vine Street traffic flow along this East-We- st s! route and reduce accident rates. The second reservoir would be between 25 and 30 acres, as would the originally proposed lake along 4800 South, west of Highland Drive. Favorable response came from residents living along the Creeks including John Canepari, Jr. who has led a suit against the County in the State Supreme Court for a cease and desist order to stop the construction of a pipeline along 4800 South. This is a first step taken toward conservation of property values, noted Mr. Canepari. He said his group still intends to continue their suit, even though the proposed lake would make widening of Big Cottonwood Creek unnecessary if it is built His group objects to what he caUs inflated plans on the entire flood control program.... stating that the project could be done for half the price, by even cutting the 4800 South line down from seven feet to five feet in diameter. The concept behind the flood control aspects of these lakes is that they would permit water storage during flood peaks, either from spring runoff or late summer rains, which would allow water to be released from them at a controlled rate. They would also be of benefit for recreation purposes.. ..permitting fishing, boating, swimming and possibly ice-s- ka tine in the winter.

Federal tax regulations, to hear police tell it, actually make it difficult or impossible to concentrate enforcement efforts on unlawful liquor sales activity in public taverns federally taxed on liquor sales. State laws and local regulations, It appears, serve to protect, rather than expose, the private liquor locker establishment against police detection.

They submit their pleas for money, and whos to know whether the competing demands are for the best interests of the state, ,which demand outweighs the other, and whether there shouldnt really be an overall plan of some kind? Probably the only source of information ready to regale him is the coterie of representatives of the institution itself. The Little Hoover Commission in its extensive report tried to remedy that situation by recommending a Board of Higher Education with the power to plan and the power to make sense out of competing budgets. Last Saturday representatives of the Universities agreed with most of the Commission's proposals. Except ontrary to the report - they want a member on the suggested board. The Commission said the Board should be formed along similar lines to the present Coordinating Council on Higher Education except with teeth, and without those institutional representatives. Edward W. Clyde, chairman, U of U Board of Regents, presented to the Legislative Task Force Committee cm the Hoover Commission study a statement which indicated concern with proposed significant powers of the proposed Board. Resistance came uniformly to any effort to deprive regents or trustees of their administrative authority of their own institutions. On Board representation Mr. Clyde said We recognize the need to dilute and this can the political be done by having the public representation widely outnumber institutional memWe can bet better coordination bers if members of the bbard of regents are there to talk." On the other side Peter W. Billings -chairman of the present Coordinating Council cm Higher Education noted that there has been considerable evidence that the institutional members on the council act first to guide benefits toward the schools they represent. Mr. Billings told of a Master Plan his group was preparing for the next legislature. Such a plan has been recommended by the Little Hoover Commission. As proposed in the Commission study the Master Plan would include enrollment projections, major program assignments and financial requirements. -c- WEEKLY CALENDAR Thursday.
