With this program the cooperating states are unified in a comprehensive enforcement effort toward the high accident causation factors such as speed, drinking and driving, following too closely, etc. As you travel over the Fourth of July holiday you will notice that this enforcement effort will continue right across state lines as our surrounding western states, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona, all are committed in this effort to reduce holiday traffic fatalities. The Utah Highway Patrol plans to especially patrol high accident areas within the state by increasing the number of officers to the maximum available. The patrol plans to increase the available field strength by canceling days off and temporarily reassigning personnel to cover the problem areas. As Governor Scott Matheson stated at a press concerence: It is essential to your safety that you support the Utah Highway Patrol and the patrols of the surrounding states in this combined effort to reduce the holiday traffic fatality rate. As responsible drivers, I encourage you to take the affirmative step towards obeying the laws of the state of Utah and promoting a safe driving attitude.

ARTS AND CRAFTS Arts and crafts entries are being sought by the Aprender Guild for the Roy Days Historical Exhibit to be displayed Aug. 25 at Sandridge Junior This prominent Roy company is a general contractor, specializing in commercial buildings, custom built homes, excavating, all types of remodeling, customized building, concrete and metal buildings, Boise Cascade homes and swimming pool construction. Insuring construction jobs against vandalism, fire, winds and theft has become the most expensive areas of the total insurance package in the past few years, according to Dennis B. Liggett, general manager of the O. Kay Construction, Inc. of Ogden, Utah, builder of Boulevard Plaza Office Building in Ogden, the Pizza Marie restaurant of Clearfield and more than 1,500 residences in the Roy areas. We were lucky in the 1979 windstorm season, however, The windstorm didnt unroof any of our he reports. buildings, although it did blow one of our houses off its cribbing. We put the home back on its cribs the next day and all is well, although other construction firms didnt fare as well. We guard against vandalism and theft by taking what tools we use on the job with us in our trucks when we leave and what we cant haul with us, we lock up or put a chain link fence around. In this way we keep the construction jobs safe from vandals. We avoid fire danger by keeping construction jobs free from rubbish and hazardous material that could easily be ignited. We feature neatness and encourage construction with a homey, orderly touch that discourages firebugs. They get a feeling that we are watching over our work, and are around in the neighborhood. Mthough this type of insurance costs the most in the total insurance package, we wouldnt be without the Travelers policy having an umbrella of protection over our construction work. This type of insurance has paid off on commercial jobs such as construction of convalescent nursing homes in Bountiful and Clearfield. Even though health and accident policy rates have gone construction up, we take out insurance on immediately. For example, even though we have completed construction, there might be a case where the has neglected something, like failing to anchor a sheetrock mantle properly. A youngster climbing upon it might pull it down and get hurt. Also, there is a case where a homeowner drove nails in a plastered wall, and punctured a water pipe, causing inside wall leakage from unseen pipe. So, expensive insurance covers liability for the contractor of the new construction. Thus, the rather expensive insurance pays off, whether the construction company participates on a 5 basis with his employees or subcontractors, or on a 0 basis. The new construction in Ogden is expected to spark millions of dollars of additional construction in the area over the next decade, including a $12,000,000 Hilton Hotel convention center, and a project to restore lower 25th Street area with a Pioneer Days atmosphere. Liggett graduated from the Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in 1970 with a Bachelors degree in law, and from the Anchorage University in Anchorage, Alaska, in' public administration in 1977. He served in the U.S. Army as Captain, and now lives in Roy, at 3020 W. 5850 South. 65-4- 50-5- UTA plans extra runs in July The Utah Transit Authority this week announced that it will provide extra bus service from Ogden to Lagoon July 4 and 24 to accommodate an expected ridership increase on those two holidays.

No such intent was imputed to the VIP applicants but Police Chief Mike Daily was instructed to investigate. The results of Daily's inquiry were discussed in a closed executive session of the council. The State Sunshine Law permits a closed session where the governing body can show that the discussion will pertain to personal reputation or character. The law does not allow the group to make any final decision on the matter in question during the closed session. Daily apparently found no cause to recommend denial of tne application. At the last council meeting, City Attorney Frank Warner presented a proposed ordinance which he had drafted to provide for licensing and regulation of escort services. The ordinance adopted by the council is retroactive to January 1, 1979, and requires registration of each employee of such services who is classified as an escort. It also provides for a police investigation of the background of the escorts and prohibits persons with convictions of unlawful sexual conduct from being an escort. You cannot deny a license to a lawful business but you can regulate such businesses in your community," Warner told the council. Secondary water supply is critical.
