County Commission Now Has Power To & J Reject Request To Hold Election For Incorporation election request. Should the commission choose to set an election date, it has the right to set the boundaries of the proposed city, either as as proposed by the petitioners, or modified amendment A late sees fit. the commission to that portion of the law gave some power back to the local residents however. A majority of the original petition signers could overrule the commission's modification of the city's boundaries. Two other major changes in the state's laws on incorporation, as provided by HB 71, give residents of a proposed city a chance to vote on whether or not to incorporate, then later, if city status gains approval, to vote on the new city's officials. Also at the initial election, voters have a choice of the form of government they or prefer, commission, council-mayo- effects are embodied in the state's newest law, one altering procedures leading toward a community attaining city status.

From now on, the commission will make a decision not on when to hold an incorporation election, but whether to have it at all. Had such a law been on the books four years ago, there is every indication that a West Valley City election would not have been scheduled. The county's attitude at the time, coupled with a feasibility study that painted a rather bleak picture of West Valley's chances, point to an almost certain rejection of petitioners' request for an incorporation election. The new law (HB 71) goes into great detail just what the commission shall base its decision on. It does not require the commisXX sion to order a feasibility study, but says it Wi so. Following the study and a .v.v "may"do public hearing, the commission then decides if an election is to be held. One of its options, of course, is to flatly reject the Arson Unit Budget Endorsed SOUTH SALT LAKE Approval of a $50,000 budget for the countys special arson investigation unit was one of several items handled here Thursday by the County Council of Governments (COG) The council also approved the county's participation in a Utah booth at the Invest in America Cities" program later this spring, heard an update on a study of the countys criminal justice system and were given a pitch on the causes of the rate increase being sought by Bridge Task Calls Area Man TAYLORSVILLE.

Following graduation from Utah Tech, Mr Carver earned a bachelors degree from USU before joining Chicago Bridge and Iron The father of four said his training at Utah Tech has been tremendously helpful" in his professional life. He said the historic Golden Gate bridge, now 50 years old, is in poor shape, but when rebuilt will be good for more than another half century. n mid-Apri- l, Utech Dean To Head Association TAYLORSVILLE.

COG endorsed the arson units request for a $50,000 budget, the same that it is operating with this year. Because it did not begin functioning until November, money probably will be left over from this years budget, said South Salt Lake Chief Robert Adams. Salt Lake County pays the largest share of the units expenses, roughly $19,000. West Valley, which has had more arson cases than any other city since the units recent inception, is responsible for $3,800 of the budget. Murray pays about $2,300. In other matters, COG recommended that Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce president Fred Ball be sent to Hong Kong to help sell foreign investors on the qualities of Utah and, more specifically, the Salt Lake Valley. On Monday, the County Commission followed up on that recommendation by voting 1 to appropriate $9,700 to finance the junket for Ball. Commissioner Bart Barker voted against the measure. During a previous COG meeting, several members strongly urged participation in the project, arguing that aggressive action is needed to attract quality business to the area. Rapid growth in its three-stat- e area, high interest rates and expensive environmental equipment required by provisions of the Clean Air Act have forced Utah Power and Light to seek the $104.9 million rate increase now before the Public Service Commission, said company spokesman Anne Elwood She said that 18,000 new customers, including big operations such as American Express, have been added to UP&Ls system in the past year. The $104.9 million request represents a 19 percent rate increase. Of that percentage, she said, 8.7 percent will be used for construction and actual work costs. UP&L is currently building the Hunter III plant and is a major partInterner in the mountain Power Project outside of Delta, she noted. Even though the size of IPP has been cut sharply, those expenses are still large, she contended. In this regard, Elwood cited the impact which environmental controls have on costs, stating that 25 percent of construction costs at the Hunter III plant are related to pollution control. She said UP&L would like to see the environmental standards relaxed, claiming Utah coal is cleaner than eastern coal, the main target of the federal law. Another 6.4 percent will go to operating expenses and inflation; 3.3 percent for payments on outstanding bonds and interest, plus returns to stockholders (the company is seeking to increase the maximum return from 16 3 to 17.3 percent, she said); percent for tax purposes; .1 percent for bad debt expenses. She granted that the rate increase has not made the electric company many friends with the public but added that UP&L has taken a number of measures to tighten its belt. West Valley Mayor Jerry Maloney added that undesirable as the rate increase is, there is some salvation for those of us cities who levy a six percent utility tax. .5 .
