Show Okay South Davis, Tuesday's The Day By GARY R. BLODGETT South Davis County voters, will go to the polls Tuesday in' the 1981 municipal general election to vote for a mayor and council members in each incorporated city. POLLS WILL be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Voters must be registered in the district in which they live. Each city will elect a mayor and at least two council members, mem-bers, but the number of council members varies depending on the number of incumbents serving an expiring term. IN BOUNTIFUL, for example, exam-ple, voters will cast their ballots bal-lots for two 4-year council posts and also for one 2-year council seat. The race for mayor in Bountiful will be between be-tween Davis County Clipper Editor Dean S. Stahle and former for-mer Bountiful police chief Dean O. (Gus) Anderson. Both have expressed an opposition, at least for the present pre-sent time, for development of a downtown shopping mall one of the major issures that has become a part of this community's com-munity's election campaign. MR. STAHLE was top vote getter in the primary election with 1,910 and should have little lit-tle trouble in that race. However, the race for the second 4-year seat between incumbent Roger R. Winslow, J. Dean Hill and George S. Burbidge could be very close. MR. HILL pulled 1,506 votes, Mr. Winslow had I, 1195 and Mr. Burbidge was more than 400 votes back at 784. For the 2-year council, H. Keith Barton was the only one to exceed 1 ,000 votes. He had 1,081. His opponent will be Breck England who tallied 686. CENTERVILLE, too, should provide an interesting race with incumbent Golden L. Allen who won four years ago on a write-in ticket having hav-ing an uphill battle against newcomer Neil L. Black-burn'Tm Black-burn'Tm going to have my work cut out for me," said Mr. Allen, who trailed Mr. Blackburn Black-burn 574 to 261 in the primary race and defeating Steven Myers by only 13 votes. Kenneth Lee Duncan Jr., Dennis R. Lifferth, Steven J. Campbell and Dallas R. Workman Work-man will be on the ballot for 4-year councilmen. Two will be elected to fill these seats. IN WEST Bountiful, incumbent incum-bent mayor Grant H. Secrist will seek re-election against John Trimming. They defeated Brant A. Child and Rex L. George in the primary election. elec-tion. Incumbent councilman J. Dewell was the top vote getter with 334 votes, but the remaining remain-ing three candidates for the two 4-year posts were so nip and tuck that the final' race should be a dandy. Irene Jones pulled 199 votes and there was only one vote separating Dwane Hughes, 199, and Neil Breinholt, 176. THERE WERE only two candidates, thus no primary election, for the mayor's seat in Farmington. With incumbent incum-bent mayor E. True Johnson opting not to run again, the general election will pit incumbent incum-bent councilman Merrill R. Petty against newcomer Clair M. Seeley. In the race for two council seats, the four candidates pulling pull-ing more than 100 votes each will be on the final ballot. They are Jonathan S. Hughes, 183; Gary C. Flood 173; Richard O. Ellis 123; and Roger L. Claw-son Claw-son 114. INCUMBENT mayor Robert Palmquist is running unopposed in North Salt Lake. The four successful candidates candi-dates from a primary ballot of seven are incumbent Richard V. Strong 270; Dwight L. Adams 185; Rulon Crosby 92; and Carlin W. Jacobson 85. Two will be elected to serve four-year terms. IN WOODS Cross, where no primary was held, incumbent Lawrence W. Urry will oppose Ralph T. Argyle for mayor.
