Richardson To Attend Saturday Convention Here Congressional hopeful Jed Richardson will be at Orem High School for the Republican Party's Utah County Convention Saturday. Richardson, a debate coach at BYU the past 24 years, is running for the second successive time against Democratic incumbent in-cumbent Gunn McKay for the First Congressional Congress-ional District seat. In 1978 he came within just 3.5 percentage points of unseating un-seating the 10-year Congressional Con-gressional veteran. Richardson voiced strong support of the Kemp-Roth bill, which if passed will cut the American tax dollar more than 33 percent and funnel control of the ecomony back into the free enterprise system. He stated that the less money the government obtains, the less it will be able to spend. "Our government today is building up a debt for the future generation which is monstrous, mon-strous, simply by taking our money out of the private enterprise system and pouring it into in-to the government, where Utah County's bond issue lost by a vote of 2 to 1 in Tuesday's bond election. elec-tion.

J o IrWGOYe e mm The Orem City Council approved two rezone requests for separate pieces of property in the general vicinity of the University Mall. The first rezone request was made by Stephen Thomas. He requested that the property at 735 E. 1200 S., Orem, be rezoned from R-l-8 to PC-3 so he could establish an office for his business. busi-ness. The planning commission informed the Council, "This general area appears ap-pears to be in slow transition from residential to commercial use, and the land use change would be consistent consis-tent with the long range land use policy of the proposed Master Plan." The current owners of the property, Marion and Florence Clark, indicated that they also felt that the area was no longer a good residential area, and because be-cause of the heavy traffic in the immediate im-mediate area, .they were no longer able to enjoy their front yard with their grandchildren. The Council discussed the possible consequences of rezoning and the majority ma-jority decided that the total effect would be beneficial for the current land owners and the area itself. The second rezone request was submitted sub-mitted by the Woodbury Corp. and concerned con-cerned the property at 1000 S. 750 E. This property wa s re cently purchased by the Woodbury Corp. to provide access ac-cess to the Mall as a part of the Mall's Phase II expansion. It was also proposed pro-posed that a small maintenance garage le built on the rear of the lot. The planning commission recommended that a portion of the property be rezoned for commercial use, but the adjacent property owner said that he wouldn't object if the whole parcel were rezoned commercial. He indicated that he could see no sense In rezoning only a portion of the property in question. JED RICHARDSON too many dollars are chasing too few goods and services," he said. "The Kemp-Roth bill would provide a viable solution to this burgeoning burgeon-ing rate of federal spending spend-ing and thus curtail the inflation rates we now face." With rw.ny years of coaching experience under un-der his belt, Richardson has debated these issues all across the nation, he explained, and he has the insights and fresh new approach to solve these economic problems.

The Council discussed three specific areas of the proposed agreement between be-tween itself and the University Mall. The first point involved the increase of the bond request from $G million to $6.3 million. The second point of discussion was the way in which the City would be reimbursed for the time its employees spent working on the bond project. Albert E.

':4 Bids Received On Pavement Marking Effort The Utah Department of Transportation has opened bids on a pavement pave-ment marking project on US-6 from Skyview to the junction with State Road 96 in Utah and Wasatch Counties. Roberts & Sons Construction Company of Provo submitted the apparent ap-parent low bid of $201,313. UDOT's official engineer's estimate was $221,152. A new type of material mater-ial is being used on this project. Reflectorized plastic pavement stripe, which is a piece of tape 116 inch thick, will be placed on the 14.2 mile section of highway. The tape has an epoxy built right in and as it is rolled onto the highway, the epoxy is crushed and actually ac-tually "glues" the tape to the road surface. This type of marking should last approximately eight to ten times the life of the ordinary traffic paint markings. Its reflectivity reflec-tivity is also superior to the paint markings in wet weather, especially on asphalt surfaces. A determination deter-mination will be made on the future use of this type of marking if our studies show it to be cost and safety effective. This project is part of the Federal Highway Administration's Ad-ministration's Pavement Marking Demonstration Program and is 100 percent per-cent federally funded. :r::--":::y::'ki, : It1.; t ) lliilliftf I.1 Chorus members Lori Oaks, left, and Ruth Patterson, center, enjoy fitting their costumes with costumer Renee Gassman, right. ; II h Sf L -4 h it U i V.
