Show i ' i t , Roy Fathers Hear Policy Plea Before Hen Edition A half dozen people appeared to discuss business with Roy City Council at their meeting last Friday. They were City Attorney Stark, Win Templeton, Byron McGregor, Josepr Pulispher, Joe Dawson and Ray Hipwell. Attorney Stark went over several point s of policy with the council in order that he might accurately interpret all of the present ordinances in the new revised edition which he is compiling. The city attorney also reported that an inspection of the city ordinance on garbage disposal shows it already has broad enough powers to handle the situation. One exception to that was its lack of a specific requirement that all waste must be handled covered in such a manner that it does not spill off along the strees enroute to the sanitary fill. It was brought out that two definite lines of thought are becoming apparent in the community: on the one rand many small home owenrs are willing for this service to be inluded in their taxes while on the other hand the large taxpayers feel it would be unfair to them in proportion. The opinion among the council members seemed to be that no extensive changes could be made in the disposal service at this time inasmuch as no appropriation had been set up in the budget. Several expressions of Let things go as they are were heard. Ray Hipwell was present to follow up his proposals made at earlier meetings. He was given an application blank to fill out for a city license, which he did. There was a definite difference of opinion regarding the matter of 4iow much regulating by the city council should go along with the granting of a license to enagae in the garbage disposal business. Some thought that if each householder understood he was doing business with a legally licensed individual the competition would naturally take care of the regulation. The majority of the everyday services available to people come under this category. Others felt tat the duty of the ocuncil is to lock out for the well being of the citizens. Some believed that a definite maxium and mini- mum charge should be specified. In the case of collections in advance they maintained that a bond should be furnished by the business doing the collecting to assure that no unforseen circumstances might interfere with the delivery of such services. Roy Citys dog catcher, Joseph Pulsipher, appeared to ask if it would not be possible for the local police to issue citations for dogs running loose as is done in many La-V- THt CITY WITH Vol. 4. No. 38 Roy Utah, Thursday, February IT, Riverdale Council Face Problems With Vigor Upon the recommendation of the Weber Co. Planning Commission, the Riverdale City Council i& in the process of setting up its own planning commission. Since 1953, advisory matters along that line have been handled for the town by the county planners. recently told him they expected to be all through and out of here by April. Mayor Anderson said a special effort will be made to inform the citizens soon pretaining to the deadline for paying the $125 connection fee and making their private connections. Secreary Martha Davis brought to the attention of the council that Washingtons Birthday falls on a a regular day Saturday this year for the city office to be open until noon. As it is illegal to enact any official business on a legal holiday, it was decided the office would remain closed on that day. Robert D. Tucker of the county planning staff met with Riverdales governing body Monday night to explain the specifications for this new advisory council. He said his staff will continue to give technical help upon request as they do for all incorporated areas of the county.

It is expected that a building boom will be touched off by the installation of the sewer lines. The completion of the master road plan for the community will eliminate construction bottlenecks as the development progresses. He warned against the inadvisability of setting aside too much land for commercial purposes. A tital of 144 acres (5 percent of the citys area) has been earmarked for commercial zone here. Quoting from the experience of other cities he said a very low percent cf the land set aside for that purpose is ever actually used for of commercial, causing a tie-umuch valuable property. Deeper commercial zones are to be encouraged rather than the impractical narrow business strips along the highways, he advised. Another important point, Mr. Tucker stressed was basically sound planning then a firm stand to back it up. Exceptions made-fo- r one person can too easily lead to difficdlty in enforcing the ordinances later on. Justice in the few cases of proven hardship can be provided by the Board of Ajustment. In answer to a query regarding the approximate date of the completion cf the sewer line, Mayor G. Edwin (Ted) Anderson said the council had been unable to secure much definite information about it.

However, only trained personnel can be used in the construction of the pool, local labor could be used for the dressing room section. The swimming pool authorities concluded by telling the group, if they conducted a vigorous fund raising campaign in the next thirty days, water could be splashing in a pool by June 1.
