Brown What will Kanabs status be four years from now? be bankrupt? and continue to be the laughing stock of the state and part of the W'ill we nation? Already in just a little more than one month, efficent, smooth working city government has come to a complete standstill in Kanab. For more than fifteen years this writer has watched efficient and smooth working city government in action here. There have been different administrations and different view points and actions, but never, has it been impossible, for any length of time, but what things were put in order and those elected to serve the people, did so. Now, starting from the first meeting on January 3, it would appear that the incoming mayor, A. D. Findlay, wants no government unless it be entirely to his liking. Starting off, trying to switch department heads around, and to his liking without the consultation or discussion to a full understanding with council members, Mr. Findlay, went even further and hired a city marshal, Erwin Wright, without any apparent authority, causing additional expense to both the city and to Mr. Wright And now, to further complicate matters and after the five council members had bent over backwards at Tuesdays meeting to try to iron problems out; Mr. Findlay, again entirely on his own, and without any authorization, hired a Salt Lake City attorney to represent liim, Coordinating Council will meet Tuesday. 15 The regular meeting of the Kanab Coordinating Council will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday, February 15, in the City Club Room of the Library building. A special meeting of the board members is scheduled for 7:30 the same evening, according to Les Pugh, temporary chairman of the Council. At this meeting the board members will select a new chairman, and secretary. The new officers will be picked from the following: George R. Aiken, Jim Bunting, Afton Cram, Diana Franklin, Dick Hamblin, Sterling Johnson, John Kimball, Thomas Lawson, Leslie Pugh and Norm Swapp. Community meeting in Kanab February 17 You are invited to attend a meeting on "Community Action Is the Key To Human Resource Development. Mr. Nick J. Colessides will be at the Kane County courthouse February 17 at 7 p.m. and wants Kanab City you, and you, and me, to dole out an additional $500 dollars) to pay for this attorneys expense in doing unauthorized work. The council members, at Tuesdays meeting, agreed to pay the two city marshals salary up to this date, and in trying to settle for Mr. Findlays attorney were astounded when it came out that $500 was the bill to the city for Mr. Findlays attorney. They refused to pay the amount, and rightly so. We definitely do not think that Kanab City, again, you, and you and me, should pay for Mr. Findlays every whim and wish in his trying to force his will and ways on the citizens of Kanab. If this matter is allowed to go by the board, and Kanab City pays this attorneys fee, not authorized or allowed for in any manner, then you, the citizens of Kanab, had better look for a miracle, that surely wont happen, to pull you out of one of the most unheard of situations that one can imagine. In this matter of spending money not authorized, A. D. Findlay, who set himself up to head the finance and law enforcement departments of Kanab City, should first be held responsible, and pay this individual hiring of an attorney out of his own pocket, or be removed from the office of Mayor for Kanab (five-hundre- Courtesy of Sterling Johnson d City. We feel that Council members are right in refusing to pay this money, and in holding up payment of the marshals until matters are straightened out satisfactory to all concerned.

This forecast of 7,900,000 feet assumes that precipitation will be average in the next six months of February through July.
