Since Roy is one of the largest cities in Weber County, we should have been allowed to try to raise money for a library there." Progress is slow on the fund raising project being conducted by the Roy Junior Chamber of Commerce, President Kay Herzog told the city council Monday. The pur- - pose of the drive is to finance the beginning of a library in Roy. "People in Roy are interested in getting a library, he told them, but only to the extent of one dollar each. We are offering a small trailer house as a prize as a means of gaining support, but haven't met with as much success as we hoped.

Both Councilman Charles Hull and Dale Bingham sided with President Herzog and recommended that a letter be written to County Farm Bureau since he is chairman of the Tomato Days celebration and advise him of the import of the situation.

He said that he told the salesman that the budget was already made up for the year and recommended that he call again before July of next year and the city might be interested in setting aside some money in the budget for decorations.

I Petitions to increase commercial property in Roy were approved by the city council in a public hearing kvst Monday night. The decisions uill allow the expansion of the. present shopping center and a trew development on the southwest corner of 4800 S. and 1900 West. Unaimous approval was given to expand the commercial area behind the north side of the present shopping center. The R-zone was changed to a zone allowing for the construction of stores from the highway down to the intersection of 2000 West on 5600 South. The lots facing 2050 West on that block will not be affected by the zoning change. A diesussion involving the conflicting opinions of several private citizens present ended in a split decision to create a restricted l commercial zone on the southwest corner of 4300 South and 1900 West. A petition filed by Joe Dawson of Dawson In vestment Company asked that an area encompassing 440 feet south of the corner and 660 feet west be changed from an R-zone to 2 C-- 2 C-- 2 C-- l. Firm Committments In explaining his request for the change, Mr. Dawson stated that he has received many firm committments from businesses to locate on the property. Naming two of these, he said that Albertsons Food Company and Standard Oil rfe ready and anxious to build there. This neighborhood type shopping center fits into the overall plan of the long range plan, he said, and the people desiring to develop the center are "ready, willing, and able to go ahead with their plans. Mr. Dawson pointed out that in the petition is a clause allowing the property to revert back R-to the orginal zone if property is not developed with jn five years, Vern Thompson, one of the objectors present at the hearing, stated that he thought we have enough commercial property in Roy." He said that he had not built on his commercial property farther north on the highway because of the negative results given him through a survey by 2 IN LAWNS a marketing research group at the University of Utah. Councilman C. Dee Sparrow who cast the only dissenting vote, said that he objected because "we have enough business area here now. We cant be a floursh-intown if we have businesses on the rocks. I hesitate to allow more businesses to come here when we may not have the need for it. Councilman Sparrow expressed the belief that if Roy built up its present facilities and gave a better selection of goods in one place, Roy residents would shop more in Roy. He said that businesses pay much of the taxes collected by the city, especi- ally sales taxes. "I wouldnt want another shopping center to stunt the growth of what we have, he concluded. Other citizens against the zone change did so claiming that the business district would be long and spread out. A person would have to get in his car and drive to the different stores to complete his shopping rather than parking once and walking to the stores where he wanted to shop, WATER SITUATION BRIGHTENS WITH RECENT OFFER Councilman Dale Bingham ported to the city council last Monday that Roy had used 624 68 acre feet of water dur- ing the month of August and had a balance of only 375. Even though it is expected to use that much during the month of September, the concern is not too great since a recent offer by the Weber Basin water company made, available small amounts of water on a temporary basis. Councilman Bingham said. This is an offer not before given, he added. It used to be that water was sold to municipalities only on a permanent basis. Since Roy is expecting to install a secondary water system next year, a bit of apprehension existed on the council about the water situation until this offer was made. One of the citizens present claimed that stores here now are starving for business. He said that Roy isnt the city it should be for the amount of businesses here presently. Another stated that putting two shopping centers at each end of town would put the two against each other and would defeat their purpose. Favored change Councilman Binham placed himself in favor of the proposal when he reminded everyone present that the council had just approved expansion of the present shopping center. He said that those concerns must have done quite a bit of study before wanting to locate there. But this city is three miles long with most of the commercial are located e one from the south line. I have only heard favorable comments from the people on the north end of town for this restricted type of neighborhood shpping center. 4300 South is just about midway in our city and should keep the northern residents from going into Ogden to shop instead of staying here in Roy. lie also pointed out that the change was recommended by the planning cpmmission of Roy. half-mil- Counciiman Howard Stahle re- marked that the neighborhood shopping center is becoming quite accepted now.

He added that as Roy continues to grow more facilities will be needed there. Good business develops prior to the time it is needed and these people are ready to start, he said. If wo keep them out, it would be like legislating against private enterprise. We would be saying that people not locating in the shopping center should not be in business in Roy, and thats not right. Chairman of the planning commission, Bryce Jensen, indicated that (he commission approved this shopping center because: (1) commercial zoning presently will not accompdate the expected 35,000 population of Roy, (2) another shopping center connected by 1900 lawnmovvers are having a fit, West w'ould relieve congestion and I dont blame them. driving customers, and (3) num-erctfacilities provide better LaMar Nelson, city building of products to customers. inspector, said that the street selection was guaranteed to be fixed acOne of the citizens present said cording to city specifications, and that the competition provided the gravel shouldnt be spread by another shopping center would until it is patched up correctly. keep both areas on their toes to statMayor Charles W.

Gravel Piled In Road Draws Complaints From Residents A large pile of gravel placed in the middle of 4350 South two or three weeks ago has caused considerable complaint by the residents of the area. Councilman Dale Bingham told the Roy City council last Monday. Councilman Bingham said that the Smedley Construction Company placed the gravel pile in the middle of the street two or three weeks ago with the intention of that street. Nothing has been done since, he said, Cars have to pass single file over the edge of the pile because there isnt enough room to drive around it.
