Good Price A small exchange took place r between Roy City Attorney La-Va- Stark and Mr. Fuller when Mr. Stark stated that the city had offered a good price for thj land and that rights for its usage for any or all purposes should rest with the city. Mr. Fuller took the stand that the price included damages and the cost of the land. Mr. Stark insisted that the city never indicated it was supporting damage costs. Adequate Offer Mr. Fuller stated that he and Mr. Jackson considered that the price did include damages and that they would define it in that manner for tax purposes. Roy officials stated that the land was officially appraised at $7,200 and that they thought their $8,500 offer was more than adequate, Mr. Jackson and his attorney stated that the purchase price Former Presidents n Community Portrait founding last week.

The laundry was burglarized less than a month ago. Laundry owner, Keith Read, Ogden, estimated that loss at between $80 and $100. This time the thief entered the laundry and evidently unlocked a coin changer with a key. The culprit removed approximately $65. In the first robbery the coin changers were broken into and investigating authorities found coins scattered about the floor and in wastebaskets. The second robbery, which was much neater than the first in its execution, was reported by A. W. McFarland. Starting .x)e Roys the past presidents Perfection Peak r For Roy Kiwanis ism. Thieves Hit High was not in question. Mr. Fuller was quick to admit that the city would have complete domain, but he believed that adequate seeding of the banks of the reservoir would prevent erosion. He recommended further that the cattle be channelized in their movement to and from the area by fencing off the area and leaving two openings for the cattle to pass through. 10 Yean Enough A question as to a time limit for the expiration of Mr. Jackson's use of the land was also raised. It was the general thinking of the council that a period would be adequate. Roy council members emphatically denied an assertion by Mr. Jsckson that he had been threatened with condemnation proceedings. Roys governing body has instructed attorney LaVar Stark to prepare a new contract agreement for the use of the land. This will make contract number three prepared by the city ' attorney since the beginning of the original negotiations on the use of the land. . 14th Birthdate The American legion Auxibiary, Clearfield Unit 134, held its regular meeting. Special guesst were Mrs. Ruby Farnsworth, Mrs. Zelda Jones and Mrs. Leslie D. Larson. Mrs. Farnsworth spoke on American- d Agreement on Land Use Still Undecided More than an hours discussion resulted in no conclusive agreement between the Roy City Council and property owner Ray Jackson at the regular Monday meeting of the council. The city has been negotiating with Mr. Jackson for the purchase of a five acre section of land since last fall. The land is to be used for a storm drainage reservoir for Roy. Mr. Jackson appeared at the council meeting with his attorney Glen Fuller, of Salt Lake. Two Problems Left Mr. Fuller stated that the only two problems left to hinder the final purchase of the land were those parts of the agreement between Roy City and Mr. Jackson which dealt with the use of the land and the grazing rights. In regard to use of the land Mr. Jackson specificially objected to the termination of his use of the land. He also took exception to the fact that the city council could restrict the grazing of his cattle on the land at anytime. Roys City has offered to pay Clearfield Legion Auxiliary Honors Military honors will be av corded both Hill AFB airmen who lost their lives early Sat-- , urday morning when the car in which they were riding left the highway and rolled over near the top of Uintah dugway two miles south of Ogden.
