METERED WATER Much of this water does not go into the sewer, however, under the present ordinance commer cial users have their sewer charges based upon the amount of water which goes through their water meters. Mr. Leavitt said under the new schedule the city would realize approximately the same revenues as under the present schedule. Final action on adopting the new sewer rate schedule was tabled until next week, pending a further study on special sewage contributors. SAFETY HAZARD In other action, the Council received a petition containing 331 signatures of residents in the neighborhood of 800 West between be-tween 400 South 400 North, presented pre-sented by Richard Long and Gareth Seastrand. The petition pointed out the alleged safety hazard on 800 West Street where numerous children must walk to school without the benefit of a sidewalk. The Council was requested to take immediate action to eliminate elim-inate the safety hazard and install in-stall a sidewalk. Mr. Long said nearly all residents res-idents of 800 West had signed the petition, indicating that the setting up of a special improvement improve-ment district for the sidewalk construction would gain approval of the property owners.

The fee to be charged for en- Certificates To Be Issued Wheat Growers Wheat growers who participate in the 1967 Wheat Program will be eligible for domestic marketing mar-keting certificates for. about the same amount of wheat as in 1966 but the percentage of allotted acres is less because of the in creased allotment according to Claude Hunting, Chairman of the Utah County AgriculturalStabili-zation AgriculturalStabili-zation and Conservation (ASC) Committee, said today. The per centage is 35 compared to 45 in 1966. The i expected domestic food use for 1967 is 520 million bu shels. Mr. Hunting explained that the law required domestic certificates cer-tificates to be issued for no more than the expected domestic food use. The 520 million bushels is 35 percent of the projected production pro-duction of the 68.2 million acre national allotment. In the 1966 program, the 45 percent of the farm projected yield for which program cooper-ators cooper-ators earned certificates was estimated es-timated to equal 500 million bushels. Thus, cooperatorsinthe 1967 program will be eligible for certificates on 20 million more bushels, Mr. Hunting said. Domestic certificates, which are issued to help maintain farm income, will be valued in the 1967 program at the difference between the national average loan rate of $1.25 and parity next July 1. The certificates are valued at $1.32 in the 1966 program. Details of the 1967 Wheat Program Pro-gram may be obtained at the Utah County ASCS Office.
