Before the amendment manufactured manufac-tured homes could not be placed in residential areas of the city because they were not certified by the Uniform Building Code, but rather the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards. Now that Utah is accepting both HUD and Uniform Building Code certification and after several discrimination dis-crimination lawsuits filed by the manufacturers business industry, cities are allowing them in residential residen-tial areas. They were only allowed in mobile home parks or subdivisions. subdivi-sions.

Over the weekend, burning spread south-west and east, climbing out of the canyon and onto McPhcrson Ridge. Monday back-burning tactics tac-tics by fire fighters were successful. The blaze only gained where fire fighters used back-burns. Back burns are a strategy in which firefighters intentionally burn an area in front of a spreading fire to deprive it of fuel. The blaze is one of seven fires started Tuesday, July 30, and is burning on dry fuels of Pinion Juniper, Douglas Fir, Oak Brush and Sage Brush. The terrain is extremely ex-tremely steep and flames have been rapidly climbing the canyon walls, said Ray Tate of the Bureau of Land Management, though no structures or facilities have been threatened. Wednesday's 10-15 mph winds and low relative humidity contributed to the rapid growth of the fire.

For nine years, Naples City has depended heavily upon sates Ux to fund its services, such as roads, said council member 'Dennis JuJd.

The reasons for ordinances that keep manufactured homes out of residential areas, is because they tend to lower the value of other homes.

U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Fran Reynolds said a total of 540, men had worked on the fire, 360 were actual firefighters. Cost of the fire is over SI million, she said. to $183,471. A reason for the great reduction in funding from sales lax is several large oil companies located in Naples have started to do business in Colo.
