How to assist in a worthy cause and yet keep faith with the public trust has created a dilemma for the County Recreation Board following a presentation at a meeting here last Wednesday, Officials of Opera- tion Conquest, organization ed an compos- of primarily parents of mentally retarded persons, met with the board to outline a proposal to two acres of county-owne- d land on a long-terbasis. The purpose is to construct a shelter home for mentally lease retarded persons whose disabilities are not so extreme as to require institu-tionalizatio- n in a treat- ment center. The spokesman for the group explained that there will be HUD and Community Development money and some potential state funds made available to the organization to run the center. Property in an undeveloped area adjacent to a park was considered ideal. The recreation staff was recommending that two acres in the southwest of section Riverton park be made available. That park is as yet conof about 265 undeveloped, sisting acres that was once projected to become a golf course. Several members of the board said they felt very warm toward Programs Are Slated KEARNS. Summer activities are continuing at Kearns Library on Wednesday mornings.

As people many as 160,000 along the Wasatch Front have a greater chance of having health problems when air pollution exceeds federal standards. Thats the conclusion reached in a study released last week by Regional Council. Three counties -- Salt Lake, Davis and Weber - violate one of three air quality standards established by -- the Environmental Protection Agency, said WFRC public information coordinator Gay Saunders. The health-basestandards are population, planning for the attainment of stanthe health-basedards does not mean controlling pollution for the benefit of a Saunders very few, county-wid- said.

Young children have been identified as a very high risk group when exposed to airborne lead, Saunders pointed out. On the other hand, the very old are susceptible to the ill effects of pollution because their bodies no longer are strong enough to resist contaminants, she noted. People with chronic diseases are the most susceptible. Exposure to low levels of pollutants triggers outbreaks of an illness or worsens its impact. Studies in Los Angeles have shown, for instance, that the number of heart at- tack victims increases when carbond monoxide levels in the at- mosphere are high, Saunders said.

Sales tax revenue for the final quarter of fiscal year 1981 will not reduce West Valleys budget deficit, City Auditor Russ Sanderson said Tuesday. Following a talk with an official of the Tax Commission, Sanderson said Tuesday the city would receive a check for $877,632 from the state within the next two State weeks. Even with that amount, which in- A I cludes $186,000 that was not forwarded to the city in previous quarters, it wont change the deficit, Sanderson said. The check for the final quarter, which includes retail sales between January and March, brings West Val'eys first year to $2,338,000, Sanderson said. tota' That figure is less roughly $15,000 than the most recent prediction by the auditor and former City Treasurer Randy Baker. The $186,000 bonus in this check quarters represents sales tax revenue generated by businesses in the city. In previous quarters, city officials noted that revenue from a number West Valley firms was being returned to other government entities.. City financial officials last month submitted a list of city businesses to the state to ensure that West Valley receive its proper share of sales tax revenue, Sanderson added.
