Show IBB. Bonds OK'd For First Park Tenant Orem City was given authorization to issue Industrial Development Bonds in the amount of $2.5 million to construct an office complex in the Timpanogos Research and Development Park for Clyde Digital, a local software company to be the anchor tenant in the park. Councilmembers gave unanimous approval to the application presented in a public hearing last Tuesday by Allen R. Clyde, owner of the company. There was no opposition presented from he audience. A representative of Fox, Edwards, Gardiner and Brown said the bond likely will be held by a local bank and will gain tax free interest. He said the project meets requirements require-ments of current federal and state statutes. However, the bonds will not be issued until the building plan is accepted by the park's architectural committee, the City's development committee and preliminary and final plans are approved by both the planning commission and city council.

A positive election is urged by officials of-ficials of the Alpine School District who say a fund generating leeway is necessary to maintain current educational educa-tional standards. . Opposing voices have asked for fiscal accountability and charge unwise un-wise investments have created the money shortage. District officials agree some investments may have been unwise and did not yield expected ex-pected returns, "but we haven't lost money on any investment," says Cox. He also said maintenance funds have never been used for investing, but capital outlay only, a generally accepted ac-cepted practice. "All investments have been legal and secured." The Alpine School District says funds are needed drastically to provide pro-vide textbooks. "I get more calls about lack of books than any other single thing,"" he says. Cox says several factors have created the fund shortage in the district. They include a bond rating change which meant a loss of money. "Because we didn't have a voted leeway the district received $1,000,200 less than expected from the legislature. Lower interest rates brought less revenue from investments." If the three-mill levy passes the district hopes to raise about $1,350,000 as well as $456,000 in state equalization equaliza-tion funds. "It's not enough for any Mayor Squire Proclaims Private Property Week BECAUSE Americans enjoy more political and economic freedom than any other people on earth, this great nation is known the world over as the land of liberty. OF all the rights we have, one of the most precious is the right of each citizen to won, use or transfer real property as the or she sees fit, so long as the rights of others are not infringed upon. ABOVE all, we must guard against taking for granted the rights that come with home ownership. Owning one's home and preserving these, rights fosters democracy because it disperses individual decision-making that collectively affects the well-being of our community. This ownership requires that people save not only for their own homes, it encourages activity in other sectors of the economy, Mayor Squire (on right) signs a proclamation designating April 28 May 4 as Private Property Week in Orem.

While the mill levy will be attached attach-ed to property taxes, Cox says revenue will be allocated to the schools only with a voted leeway.

Patey will be the guest speaker at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon to be held Thursday, Thurs-day, May 2, at noon at the McClan Home, 225 West 400 North, Orem. Patey is the president of the Patey Human Resource Foundation. He says, "We believe that the deterioration of the family unit, the increasing posture of defiance of authority (parental, school, government, govern-ment, etc.), and the widening rift bet-", ween labor and management is a direct outgrowth of either the absence or violation of fundamental FREEDOM PRINCIPLES governing human interaction." In a refreshingly different way, Patey approaches human relations problems from a principle base. One cannot learn enough technique in a life-time to handle all the unique problems pro-blems he faces in everyday encounters en-counters with others, he says. Patey's lecture will introduce a new approach not usually taught in seminars. Chamber members are urged to make reservations for this event by calling 224-3636.
