Show Page Ten Friday, December 15, 1961 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Series Explains Public Notices Public notices, or legal adver-tising appear in this and other newspapers regularly, as pro-vided under the laws of all of the states. These notices are a part of the basic right of the people to know what their gov-ernment does with tax money under the American system. Copyright 1961 By James E. Pollard HALF A LOAF (No. 45 in a Series) The principle of giving public notice through "legal advertis-ing" is well accepted in the U.S. Hundreds of laws in the codes of the 50 states, as well as nu-merous local ordinances provid-ing for such publication, attest to this fact. A public official who fails or neglects to carry out the intent of the law in such matters may lay himself open to a charge of nonfeasance. Similarly, a per-son who in some private capacity is supposed to give notice and does not do so may deprive some other individuals of their legal right to be put on notice con-cerning something that affects them. Occasionally an ordinance or a law may provide that a public notice be published by title only. Actually this is rare and is ob-jected to on the ground that while this is a notice of sorts, it is insufficient and inadequate notice. This would be true espe-cially of a proposed action where the title "might include "... and for other purposes," the "other purposes" not being writ-ten out. The argument usually given for suggesting the occasional publication of notices by title only is that it still serves the general purpose and is more eco-nomical. Neither reason is sound when weighed against the basic reason for public notices, namely to inform the public where its rights are affected. At best publication by title is only half a loaf or less. It is a question whether, in such cases, half a loaf is almost as bad as no loaf at all. Fortunately, and significantly, most jurisdictions do not permit this practice. and wildlife. The national advis-ory board council will have the same number of livestockmen, but wildlife representation will be expanded from three to ten and there will be up to ten rep-resentatives of other interests. In addition there will be one mem-ber from each of the states of Alaska and Washington, which in the past have not been repre-sented. Director Landstrom said mem-bers representing resources and uses other than grazing will be added to the boards from nomi-nations made by state or local government officers or private organizations interested in public lands. Interior Announces Multiple Use Advisory Boards Representation on state and national advisory boards for public lands has been expanded to reflect multiple interests in the National Land Reserve, Secre-tary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall announced Wednesday. Bureau of Land Management Director Karl S. Landstrom said advisory board representation was discussed at a meeting of the national advisory board council in Salt Lake City on October 6 The proposal to include represen-tatives of interests other than grazing and wildlife was accept-ed unanimously. It was published as proposed rule making in the Federal Register, September 7, and public support has been over-whelming, said the Director. Under new rules the advisory boards in the ten western public land states, and the national ad-visory board council will include representatives such as the forest products industry, minerals in-dustry, soil conservation, outdoor recreation, urban and suburban development, and county and state government, as well as live-stock and wildlife. Secretary Udall said that such broad representation will strengthen multiple use manage-ment of the 168-million-a- Na-tional Land Reserve. In addition the states of Alaska and Wash-ington will each be represented for the first time by a member on the national council. The new rules will also change the Department's charges for grazing trespasses on federal rangelands administered by BLM. Where the owner of tres-passing livestock is known, the Department will charge damages including full commercial value of the forage consumed. If it is not reasonably possible to de-termine commercial rates, a min-imum charge of $2 per animal unit month will be charged for accidental trespass. A minimum charge of $4 an animal unit month will be made for repeated or willful trespass. The new charges will help in the collection of trespass dam-ages when it is not possible to determine comparable commer-cial rates. In addition, the new rates will discourage trespass, the Department asserted. In the past, these boards have been known as "Grazing Advis-ory Boards," said Secretary Udall. Membership has been limited to livestockmen and wild-life representatives. The amend-ments to the government's public land regulations .broaden the duties and functions of the boards, as well as representation. The new boards will be multiple-us- e in character, said the Secre-tary. They will cover many sub-jects and resources involved in public land administration. Con-siderations and recommendations by the boards will not be limited to grazing matters alone. The new regulations provide for the same number of livestock and wildlife representatives on state boards, but in addition al-low up to seven representatives of interests other than livestock Report Summarizes U. Services to People of Utah The report of the Registrar issued this week by the Univer-sity of Utah contains in statis-tical and documented form a summary of the University's varied services to the people of Utah. Of prime significance in the data are figures showing that 83 per cent of the University's stu-dent body is from Utah with all 29 counties of Utah represented. The other 17 per cent come from the other 49 states, District of Columbia and 50 foreign coun-tries. This provides for a highly desirable balance in the student body. Opportunity to associate with students of varied back-grounds and interests adds to the classroom, library and labor-atory experience. A total of 29,077 individuals were served in some kind of classwork last year. There was an overall increase in enroll-ment of 5.2 per cent. The in-crease was correctly predicted by the Registrar's office last year.
