The lightning-caused fire is located in the monument's Natural Fire Zone which unless it threatens life or property pro-perty will be allowed to burn itself out. The fire has burned about 20 acres in an isolated area of mostly Ponderosa Pine. "Naturally a fire occurs every seven to 25 years," said Steven Peterberg, spokesperson for the Dinosaur Monument. Monu-ment. "This fire will help remove a lot of the under brush, but won't affect the trees because of their fire retardent nature."

Mayor Samuel Snyder said that the requirement "would be a nightmare for anyone and why have it if the city intends to not enforce it." City Attorney Lynn Payne strongly urged the city to leave the requirement in the amendment, not because of nm-blems nm-blems with existing restaurants, but because some might come in that could take advantage of the ordinance. The council recommended the recording keeping portion of the proposed pro-posed amendment be simplified and brought back before the council at their next meeting for approval. Resolutions to increase the city water and garbage colcction rates were given similar treatment, as the council requested more study of the city ci-ty rate structure before making a decision deci-sion on the two proposals.

PipptlPTHP n CHAIM SAW Something always By Steven Wollls Fxprtu News Editor If there is anything that involves one's opinion, judgement or money; there is bound to be an agrument about it. Some people love to argue. In a country where freedom of speech and opinion abounds, it's fertil ground for a good argument. Not that agruments are all bad, but sometimes they precipitate into personal attacks, grudges and all out fights. These contentions con-tentions develop over something people peo-ple are suposed to have differences of opinion. Such differences are openly expressed express-ed on the baseball diamond, tennis court or golf course. Such argument abound in politics. Last Wednesday is a prime example. For two and half hours last Wednesday Wednes-day the Vernal City Council Uintah County Commission and state officials vigorously discussed what to do with about 50 feet of sidewalk w hich was place 13 feet further in the street at 1st North and 1st East than city officials of-ficials wanted. City officials wanted the sidewalk moved, county officials wanted it left w here it was. Inevitably Colorado river Runoff into the Colorado River Basin has been at a record high for the second year in succession which translates into full reservoirs and high river flows, according to the Bureau of Reclamation.

City and County officials, however, came to an agreement and Thursday the sidewalk was removed. The county, coun-ty, state and city will share costs of putting the sidewalk back 15 feet. Although the agruments were heated and both sides were fervently presented, after the two hours were up, officials shook hands, and they went on to other business. Such an atmosphere is essential especially in a small town, where things that aren't that important, are important. One thing people who like to argue should keep in mind is there are certain cer-tain things that you can argue about until you're blue in the face and you won't change a person's mind. Sidewalks are one of those topics. But no matter how entrenched a person per-son is about hisher opinion, there are certain issues that they will be agree-ble agree-ble to. Hopefully one of these issues is compromise. Frankly a compromise satisfies very little in solving an agrument, but it is one step better than fighting. runoff is still elevation should now begin to go down slowly. The spillways will not be used. April-July inflow forecast to Lake Powell is 15.2 million acre-feet, or 204 percent of average. Releases through the Glen Canyon Powerplant and outlet tul)es remain at 43.000 cfs. It is expected this release will be decreased to 26,000 cfs in July as the inflow decreases. There are no daily fluctuations in river flows. Inflow into Fontenelle Reservoir was cfs on July 15. The reservoir is at elevation 6.4H2 feet. Since the reservoir will not be allowed to fill much higher, releases will match the inllows. Forecast inflow to Flaming Gorge Reservoir is 123 percent of average. The reservoir was at elevation 6.039 feet on July 12, Releases from the dam are cxpoctrd to average nearly 4.ooo ds. then they w ill gradually decrease to atmut 3,4000 cfs In August. mine whether favoratile market con' d.tirn, r; tor the ale t the brmds.

TVc (1 I , 5, brewing Another local argument is brewing between the Ute Tribe and the Uintah School District over a sewer system for Todd and West Junior High schools. The schools will eventually need the sewer system, but the Ute Tribe is acting too slow and wants too much money for a connection. It's tough to argue your case if you don't have someone to argue with. That's the problem the school board is encountering everytime a meeting is set up to discuss the sewer problem, the meeting is later cancelled. There is no better feeling than to argue an opinion with someone who totally agrees with you. You get it off your chest and "of course your right." One greatest arguments in Ashley Valley is water who should get how much, who should service who, and it always costs too much. Granted there is a lot to agrue about and some people can argue about anything, but wouldn't it be peaceful if there were no agruments and everyone agreed? Actually it would be about as boring as playing yourself in a checkers game. at record high The Green River at Green River, Utah flows peaked at 42,000 cfs on May 27. They were 10,000 cfs on July 16 and will continue to decrease the remainder re-mainder of the summer. The forecast of runoff into the San Juan River basin remains at 117 percent per-cent of average. The flow of the San Juan River at Bluff peaked at 9.GQ0 cfs on May 27 and was l,4oo cfs on July 16. Navajo Reservoir, now at elevation 6.084 feet, has 1.7 million acre-feet of storage, or 98 percent of capacity. The runoff above Navajo reservoir is forecast to be alxiut 1 17 percent of normal. nor-mal. Releases from Navajo Dam are expected to remain at 8K) cfs.
