Ask your real estate broker to help you select a neighborhood with a recent history of increasing property values. Also look for a house that's been on the market for a long time; the seller may be ready to deal. The house should be comparable in size to its neighbors, structurally sound, but in need of modernization. Start with the landscaping and the home's exterior. This is what the buyers see first. Next, concentrate on the "hot spots" of buyer appeala bright kitchen and modern baths. And look for low cost ways to increase closet and cabinet space."

Vernal to create ordinance Vernal City council members will next month consider creating a policy poli-cy which would mandate the installation instal-lation of curb, gutter and sidewalk in new subdivision development. If approved, the new policy will become part of the city's general building policy. Councilors believe the mandate is necessary to ensure storm water is managed properly in new developments develop-ments and to improve the appearance appear-ance of city properties. Residents in older subdivisions often of-ten ask the city to establish special improvement districts to install curb and gutter in their neighborhoods. The costs of the upgrades are passed on to owners or buyers of properties. proper-ties. Language of the new policy must be presented to and voted upon by both the city council and planning commission before it will become law.

" The first day of school and the City considers tree planting ordinance Concluding that Vemal City is incurring in-curring "a lot of expense" in repair and removal costs, City Manager Ken Bassett urged city council members last week to pass an ordinance ordi-nance prohibiting the planting of trees closer than eight feet to sidewalks. side-walks. Bassett contends that the root systems sys-tems of trees planted closer eventually eventu-ally lift and crack walkways. "Property owners want to plant trees in yard fronts to beautify their properties," said Bassett. "But people peo-ple who planted trees 30 years ago are now asking the city to remove them." Councilman Jim Abegglen argued against the suggestion saying the required re-quired distance was excessive. He called the proposed ordinance "an "Special Thank You's" We would like a Special Thanks to go to the Vincent Brothers Ranch, Lewis and Verlin, for letting the Jensen Cemetery tie onto their irrigation system. This year I have been able to keep the cemetery mowed up nicely because of having extra water. Thanks to Commissioner Lewis Vincent for getting the asphalt repaired from putting in the new pipeline before Memorial Day. Another Special Thanks goes to Ferron Moon for all of the many countless hours he donates toward the Jensen cemetery. This year Ferron contacted several people to help him with the pipeline and moving headstones that had sunken. Thanks to Larry Gross, Auer Warren, Tom Douglas, Bud Gilroy, Wade Slaugh, Buddy Wiswell, and Scott Wiswell. Thanks to Fran Olsen the secretary for making signs telling the people "Sprinklers are irrigation, Hydrants are for drinking use. People like those help make our community grow.

"All sorts of things can cause damage," said Abegglen. "Are we going to restrict, everything? This infringes on responsible tree planters." With the support of other council members, Abegglen asked Bassett to obtain legal counsel and then to research the tree planting policies of, other Utah cities instead of setting what he called "an arbitrary planting plant-ing distance" from sidewalks. He suggested the city consider limiting the distance to four feet.
