Revamp Of Ordinance Recommendations for revision of Orem City's beer licensing ordinance were presented to the Orem City Council Monday night by Councilman E. Dixon Larson who, withCityAttorneyHughVern Wentz, has been making a study of the matter. Mr. Larson said the study was designed to provide information to assist the Council in developing develop-ing legislation which would affect the number of taverns, supper clubs and general distribution of beer in Orem City. Patrick Healy, Executive Director Dir-ector of National Cities, was contacted con-tacted through the Utah Municipal League in an effort to establish the number of business selling beer in cities of comparable size, Mr. Larson said. He also said the cities of Logan, Bountiful and Murray had been contacted regarding the number of beer licenses they issue, since their populations are comparable to Orem's. Orem City was found to have fewer beer agencies than any of these other Utah cities, in spite of the fact that Orem has a great-. er population than any of them. Mr. Larson said 'it was the opinion of Mr. Wentz that such' comparative numbers would be significant In a court case, and that such a comparison would make it extremely difficult for Orem City to deny a proposed beer license on the basis of there being too many. Specific recommendations of the study were for Orem's ordinance ordin-ance to be revised to include legislation that provides for a Fire Chief And Detective Attend Arson Seminar 4 Fire Chief Arnold Long and police detective Byron Penrod returned from an arson Investi gation Seminar held recently at the University of California at Riverside.

Legislation would include: complete com-plete review of buildings and facilities, fa-cilities, and approval based on general aesthetic improvement to the Orem City image. Mr. Larson said he believed such legislation would eliminate some of the unsightly existing facilities in Orem City and encourage en-courage general improvement of such establishments. He suggested that the Council act on such legislation before the next renewal period come up for beer licenses. The Council took the proposal under advisement, meanwhile ap proving Class "A" beer license renewals for 1967-68 for the following establishments: Wil-berg's Wil-berg's Market, Taylor's Bar-1 gains and Allen's Supper Save.

For the 1967-68 budget hearing hear-ing an unusually large number of interested patrons were on hand, and their presence was appreciated apprecia-ted by the board of education. The group represented In general and real estate, agriculture, business, bus-iness, and student segments of the district. Their questions were centered largely in tax increases and the relationship of district monies to such increases. While recognizing changes in valuation with the resultant increase in the local tax burden, Superintendent Peterson carefully pointed out that such increases in no signi-icant signi-icant way add to the total money available for expenditure by the local school board. The budget as such proved quite acceptable to those at the hearing and received the unanimous support sup-port of the board of education.
