Council Mulls Policy In License Refund Paid under protest.' Just what affect this endorsement, placed by some Orem businessmen on checks made out to Orem City in payment for business license fees, will have on the eventual recovery of these funds, remains to be seen., . Studying the matter of possible refunds for business license fees is a committee headed by Councilman Coun-cilman Harley Gillman, appointed appoint-ed Monday night by Mayor G. Milton Jameson. Mc oibers of the committee also include Paul Washburn and Lowell Thomson. Formation of the committee came after a discussion by th Council regarding the adoption of a policy regarding the treatment treat-ment of those who have paid their business license fees under protest, pro-test, and those who have not. Councilman Gillman said "Personally. I would like to see us refund all of the license fees, or none at all. Those businesses who paid their license fees as provided by law without protest are certainly as entitled to a refund from a moral standpoint as those who paid under protest." pro-test." The license fee problem resulted re-sulted when the Utah Supreme Court handed down a ruling upholding up-holding the District Court's reversal re-versal of the conviction of Dee Pyne, Orem auto dealer, who was found guilty in the Orem City Court of violating Orem's business licensing ordinance. - Following the Supreme Court's ruling, the Orem City Council enacted a new ordinance which set a flat fee of $25.00 for each business, plus additional for each employee.

Mrs. Cooper said she estimated the unpaid business license fees for 1963, 1964 and 1965 at $4,150.00.

Mayor G. Milton Jameson told the Orem City Council Monday night that he had received a letter from Mrs. Grace Snell, secretary of the Alpine Credit Union, together to-gether with an affidavit attesting attest-ing to the full compliance by the Credit Union with the city's zoning ordinance.

City Manater Earl W. Wen-green Wen-green noted that the matter of the Alpine Credit Union's application for a license to operate In its present location Is on the agenda of the Orem Planning Commission Commis-sion for Dec. 1. At a recent meeting of the Council, City Attorney Hugh Vern Wentz pointed out the provisions of the zoning ordinance which permit the Planning Commission to set up "reasonable conditions" under which a home occupation may operate. Should the Alpine Credit Union be found to be in full comt)li- ance with the section of the zoning ordinance dealing with home occupations, and should it also be able to comply with the reasonable conditions" which may be set up by the Planning Commission, its continued operation opera-tion at its present location is likely. . Meanwhile, both the Orem Planning Commission and City Council are considering the revision re-vision of the section of the zoning zon-ing ordinance dealing with home occupations to provide for more specific definitions and operating operat-ing conditions designed to protect pro-tect the neighboring residential area.

This fact was evident when Utah's four representatives in the Congress in a joint statement issued today, unitedly encouraged residents of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, to authorize, at a special election December 14, the District to sign a repayment contract with the Federal Gove rnment. The contract Is needed for beginning of construction of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. Senators Wallace F. Bennett and Frank E. Moss, and Representatives Representa-tives Laurence J. Burton and David S. King, said the election is-the is-the last necessary step to enable construction to begin in 1966 Without such approval," they said, "Utah's opportunity to use much of its rightful share of the Colorado River water may be lost forever." They also pointed out that other states are now striving to obtain additional water from the Colorado River, and that approval of the repayment contract is vital at this time If Utah is to protect pro-tect its water rights and put to beneficial use its share of Colorado Colo-rado River water. , They said, 'With the realization that water is a most Important key to Utah's future, we encourage the eligible voters to show their support for this great water development program by voting "yes" in the December 14 election." 1 Property owners of this county have an urgent date at the polls come Tuesday, December 14. The citizens of seven key Utah counties on that date will have the opportunity to cast a decisive vote for a greater Utah. For ten years, civic leaders of the state have been fighting sometimes against almost overwhelming oddspowerful interests in Lower Colorado River Basin states for this state's fair share of the river. The massive dams at Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge have been built, waters have been regulated and power is being generated. gen-erated. Now comes the vital step building the project which will put Utah's share of this stored water to work on this state's thirsty acres and in this state's growing cities. The Central Utah Project is the keystone of the entire Colorado Colo-rado River Storage Project as far as this state is concerned. Its size and cost and value s are by far the largest of any par ticipating units of the entire Colorado River Storage Project. The Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project will cost an estimated $324 million of which Utah users will be caUed on to repay but $130 million. But its benefits are legion. It will: - Develop annually a total of 315,900 acre-feet of water. -Increase Irrigation supplies by an average of 230,400 acre-feet acre-feet annually. (About 22,300 acre-feet in the Uinta B.isin and 207,600 acre-feet in the Bonneville Basin.) Provide an average of 79,000 acre-feet annually for municipal and industrial use. But what the Bonneville Unit will add to the economy of Utah is even more impressive. It will: Increase the assessed valuation of property In the project area by $500 million. Support an increase of 300,000 in Utah's population. Increase the gross income of farm families in the project area by $15 million per year. Ti do so, they will invest from $30 to $40 million more in their farm plants. Expend $220 million for materials and equipment for its various works. Provide an estimated $80 million for wages and $24 million for transportation. Take 15 to 25 years for construction and provide 9,000 ma.i years of emiloyment for Utah workers. There is no opposition apparent to the Yes vote asked by Utah's governor, Water and Power Board, and civic leaders unless you look beyond the state's border to Arizona and California. These fast-growing states in some areas have used all their allotted Colorado River water and more. They hope to fall heir to much of that belonging to the Upper Basin states by the simple expenient of putting it to use first and then utilizing political pressures IU uailg uinu u, umaunuue uiuwiiug iuu uciajuig upstream projects wherever and whenever possible, A "No" vote would be exactly what they want. A "Yes" vote, on the other hand, demonstrates to them and to the federal government that Utah's citizens are determined to put their fair share of Colorado River water to work with all possible speed.
