Dr. Richard Johns, administrator of the Board of Health, said survey forms will be sent home with school children on Jan. 23.- THE department of healih has talked to Davis School officials and principals in an effort to plan the survey of all children kindergarten through grade 11 The form also asks that immunization records for any preschool children also be recorded and returned with the survey sheet. The survey which has been required by the Utah State Division of Health, is part of a national immunization survey administrator of Environmental Health, said the local health board can give only lip service to the act since there is no enforcement money. DR. JOHNS said the 2 cents per pack of cigarettes would generate about $2 million statewide, a portion of which, if passed, would be placed in the general fund to provide money for enforcement. He said $450,000 is needed statewide to provide money. If passed, about ten percent of the money would come to Davis County based on population figures. According to Dr. Johns, Governor Scott Matheson said there weren't enough people in the state who wanted enforcement of the Clean Air Act so in an effort to prove otherwise, health officials are collecting signed petitions to which will help identify children who may be unprotected serious against diseases such as polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and whoop- n show that people do want the act enforced. HEALTH Board member, Bonnie Rae Barlow, said there had been a drastic change in the attitude of people since the law was passed and didnt think that enforcement was the central issue. According to Dr. Johns, the most serious violations are in restaurants, but he said the environmental health department has also received many calls complaining about lack of enforcement in places of business. IN OTHER matters. Dr. Johns reported to the Board of Health that the paramedics had been approved on a trial basis in the south end of the county. Davis County residents can approve or disapprove the program when they vote next November. diyfifU! OF determine Davis J IN ANOTHER matter of business. Dr. Johns told the county health board that the local health department is working with Utah State legislators to pass legislation to fund the Clean Air Act, which prohibits smoking in public places. Last legislative session the funding measure did not pass either house, but Dr. Johns said the Davis County House member, Douglas Sonntag and Senator Karl Snow will submit bills to the two legislative bodies, which will call for a two cent excise tax to be placed on cigarette to pay for enforcement of the Clean Air Act. I This act was passed two years ago without the allocation of any money for enforcement.

According to the letter trom the State Department of Social Services, which specifies guidelines, if after a review parents feel that children need immunizations, they should be obtained immediately from a private doctor or local health department.

Clerk Rodney Walker said at the present COUNTY time the money is being held in a capital Improvement fund. He said the transfer "should have been made when we knew we were no longer in the hospital business."

IN 1171 an additional $4.75 million in bonds were sold. At that time the county planned to use the money generated from the bonds to build a hospital in the north and one in south end of Davis County. W hen two private corporations agreed to build the two hospitals, the money was available to repurchase the bonds. The county last year authorized Ken Newman, a representative of Burroughs and Smith Bonding Agency to purchase as many bonds back traced. of as could remainder cannot be traced and mus be paid off when they mature. The money to purchase the bonds has been held in the past in a capital improvement fund, but Mr. Walker said independent auditor Robert Goldsberry said the money should be placed in a bond sinking fund. Commissioners said they will Just be changing the nomenclature. MR. WALKER said the county may work through First Security Bank since that bank was one of Ihe original agents for Ihe bond.
