He further stressed that school construction over the next five to six years is necessary in every major community in the . district.

From the left is JoElia Ljka , Mr. Eldred never :had any children to inherit his wealth, so he looked for a way that his money could best be used after his passing. From these circumstances, circum-stances, the Eldred Sunset Manor was formed. The Eldred Hospital was established es-tablished from part Federal and part foundation funds, however the foundation withdrew from the hospital sometime later after difficulties dif-ficulties with the newly-elected county commissioners arose. The Eldred funds are kept in stocks, managed by a board of 15 members. Yearly earnings from the stock holdings are donated to worthy causes, such as research, art and science projects, senior citizen projects and some scholorships.

The harrassment of State and local governments by the federal government has got to stopSenator stopSena-tor Jake Garn (R-Ut.) said today in announcing his support of a bill to do away with compulsory motorcycle motor-cycle helmet laws. Senator Garn said that, under the auspices of the Highway Safety Act of 1966, the Secretary of Transportation has issued safety standards which require each state to enact a compulsory helmet law for motorcyclists. He said that any state refusing to enact such legislation stands to lose all of its federal highway safety funds and 10 percent of its federal highway high-way construction funds. "Here we have another perfect example of the federal government thinking it knows more about local situations than local elected officials," of-ficials," Senator Garn said. "To impose stringent economic penalties penal-ties on states that do not comply with a federal law smacks of dictatorial dic-tatorial government." (center left) and Emil Hansen (center right).

INFLATED BUILDING PERMITS We have received numerous complaints about the new Orem City ordinance that was passed as a revenue raising act during the time the Citv council was setting up the 1975-76 budget. The ordinance in questional a fee of five dollars a front it foot on the builder's according to the lot size, when he applies for a building permit. The jeason the $5.00 fee was levied Js the Water and Sever was to cover the cost of installing the water meters and the sewer hookup. It was reported the city was losing money on each hook-up. If so, a raise in the the hookup hook-up and sewer charge should be put on. however it is hard to believe the new rate snould be more than double the previous rate. For our own satisfaction we asked the cost for a permit to build a home on an 80 foot lot, The cost that I had to pay the city of Orem before I could obtain ob-tain a building permit was $1475. Then the actual building permii would run an additional $100 tc $200 dollars making the average cost about $1600 dollars. a newcomer to the area, is 30 Before this ordinance was ears old and is a law student passed the average cost on the tt BYU, planning to graduate in same lot in the same area would December.

The people we are told who are paying this fee are doing so under protest with hopes that the city council will take action and reduce this fee or eliminate it entirely. We have been told by lawyers that the ordinance would not hold up in court, it can be proved that it is a tax upon a tax. Paying the fee under protest is not the answer, whenpeople build homes as a rule they do not have an extra amount of money, and this still has to be paid before be-fore you can go very far toward building a home. We are aware of the many problems the city council has each week, and we feel that the councilmen are all doing a good job, but we also feel that when problems crop up like the Water and Sewer Connection fee, that are hitting residents in the pocketbook, such as the one we have mentioned it should be looked into as soon as possible.

Sluggish Voters Orem City has a motto which suggests that this is an active, livewire community. That motto reads, 'Things are Happening in Orem. This certainly was not the case at the nominating conventions con-ventions of the two parties Tuesday Tues-day night when less than 150 people chose those persons who will be responsible for the spending spend-ing of over $6 million of the Orem taxpayers money. As evidenced evi-denced by the sparce attendance, things are not happening, or if they are, 9 of the citizenry doesn't care. There were about 100 in at .

The crowd did swell to 45 before the end of the meeting. This is a shameful showing by voters in a city the size of Orem and one can only suggest that the Orem voters really don't care what goes on in city hall. It will be interesting to see how all these non-voters will behave when the elected officials do something that they really don't approve of. f ; . :!N - - i , ; ) V I S tji.ii. .. . . 1 Brown, chamber president; Chuck DeZonia, manager; Jack Hadley, owner; Tarrell Rob-inette Rob-inette andConnie Barker, chamber secretary. |
