THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT Thursday, November 1, 1962 Lynndyl Man Has Close Brush with The 'Grim Reaper' Keithe Nielson of Lynndyl, was seriously injured Thursday, Oct 23 while working at the rock quarry seven miles northeast of Leamington. Leaming-ton. Keith was putting belt dressing on the powerful belt that runs the crusher. Some how his glove got caught and he was unable to free his hand from . the glove and his right arm was pulled into the crusher up to his shoulder. His left hand was caught also but he was able to free it, receiving severe bruises on it. His right arm is broken bro-ken in three places, the elbow crushed and the arm pulled out of the socket at the shoulder. He received cuts, bruises and burns on his side and head. He was working alone at the time. When he didn't show up where the other men were, they went looking for him. He remained conscious through it all and had been calling for help and trying to get free, but could not be heard above the noise of the crusher. It is estimated he was there from ten to fifteen minutes. He was released and immediately immediate-ly rushed to Dr. Steele in Nephl, where first aid was given. He was taken on to Payson hospital where Dr. Steele and a specialist from Provo spent from five to six hours cleaning the wounds.

Attorney General States Opinion on !2-Cent Sales Tax From time to time the question has arisen as to whether or not it is possible for some cities and towns In Millard County to collect the optional cent sales tax, while other cities and towns and the county do not. The Utah Attorney General in an opinion, addressed to the chairman chair-man of the Utah State Tax Commission, Com-mission, dated the 22nd day of Aug. 1962, answers this question. The question asked the Attorney General was in the following words: "When, pursuant to Title 11, Chapter 9, of the Utah Code Annotated An-notated 1953, a county having passed an ordinance for the collection col-lection of a local option sales tax, and incorporated cities within said county also ordain the imposition of said taxes, what is the result when the county repeals its ordinance?" ordi-nance?" The answer of the Attorney General Gen-eral in part states: "Accordingly, to permit a county by revocation of its own tax ordinance ordi-nance to thereby Interfere with or eliminate a valid imposition of a municipal tax would be to permit an unconstitutional invasion by the county into a municipal function." "It is the opinion of the undersigned, under-signed, therefore, that the repeal of a local option sales tax by a county does not affect the imposition imposi-tion and collection of that tax ordained or-dained by municipalities within that county." A copy of the full opinion is on file at the Chronicle office and is available to any interested person.

DEADLINE: (AGGREGATIONS) By Bob and Inei FACTS: According to Utah Code Annotated Annotat-ed 1953 (20-7-19) "On receiving his ballot the voter shall forthwith, and without leaving the inclosed space, retire alone to one of the voting booths and shall prepare' his ballot as hereinafter provided. The voting mark shall be a cross in the circle or square, and the cross required re-quired to 'be used in this chapter shall consist of two straight lines as nearly equal in length, and crossing each other as near the center of each line, as practicable." In Utah Code Annotated 1953 (20-7-20) we f.nd IhP fnllnurinir I "Any voter desiring to vote for all the candidates upon any ticket I may mark in the circle above that ticket, or in the squares oppos.te the names of all candidates thereon, there-on, or may make both such markings. mark-ings. To vote for candidates on two or more tickets the voter may mark in the squares opposite the names of the candidates for whom he wishes to vote without marking in any circle, or he may indicate his choice by marking in the circle above one ticket and marking in the squares opposite the names of the candidates of his choice upon other tickets. The voter may also insert in writing in the proper place in the blank ticket the name of any person for whom he desires to vote, and he shall be deemed to have voted for that person, whether wheth-er he makes or fails to make a cross mark opposite such name. The unnecessary marking of a cross in a square on the ticket below the marked circle shall not affect the validity of the vote. In case of a question submitted to the vote of the people the voter shall make a cross against the answer he desires de-sires to give." COMMENTS: Reading through the annotations following 20-7-19, the reader will find that positively no marking other than the cross is allowed. Rather difficult to keep from smiling smil-ing at some of them as it Is quite evident some voter in the past has drawn wagon wheels where the cross should be placed. These are not allowed, either. In other words all art work should wait until the voter is out of the voting booth! We found 20-7-20 self explanatory. explana-tory. Quite an interesting book to read Utah Code Annotated. AMENDMENT NO. 2 AND AMENDMENT NO. 3: You've seen us practically come to blows on Amendment No. 2. Little Lit-tle doubt should remain in any voters mind as to how we stand on this amendment. Bob likes it Inez doesn't. Amendment No. 3 is a dif-. ferent story. I landowner where practically all pheasant hunting takes place. "The future of hunting on these lands," Crane pointed out, "rests largely with the individual sportsman, sports-man, lie must recognize that hunting hunt-ing on private lands is a privilege not a right. He should not toler-' ate vandalism or unsportsmanlike ' conduct by other members of his party. To do so merely means that ' he is a party to closing and post-' ing grounds to hunting. I "The true sportsman should, strive to treat the lands upon which ' he hunts as he would his own pro-! perty." The continuing work of the State Triangle Committee over the past! Surfacing Work Finished On Parking, Drive Area At New Hospital Site This week's work completed the surfacing of the parkins area and driveways at the West Millard Hos-! pital site until spring, according to State Trooper Ken Clements, who has successfully spearheaded the operation. At the nominal cost of $982.20 to Delta City and Hospital Ass'n, the area has acquired an oiled surfacing surfac-ing job encompassing approximately approximate-ly 40,000 sq. ft. A rough estimate of such an undertaking of comparable com-parable size is in the neighborhood of $9,000.00. The L. A. Young Construction Co. of Richfield who is constructing the Oak City-Holden road (U 26) donated do-nated approximately 800 tons of gravel needed for the base. Some of the gravel was hauled to the site at no charge to the association by the construction company. The rest was delivered by Millard County Coun-ty Road Dept. Grading of the ground and compacting the gravel was done by the road depts. of Delta Del-ta City, Millard County and Utah State. LaGrande Construction Co. of Logan Lo-gan donated gravel and time required re-quired for mixing the oil mulch. 378 tons of oil was required to complete com-plete the job. The oil was purchased purchas-ed from the construction company. Cold nights prohibit completing the job at this time. The oil needed Constitutional Amendment No. 3 on the November ballot will allow an increase in pay and allowance for members of the Utah Legisla ture. We're both for this amend ment. Contrary to the expressed opinion of many, we do not consider the Utah Legislature as a group of peo pie on a "two-months" party with pay. This amendment will give a modest but adequate salary and expense allowance to our elected officials pn Capitol Hill. It will mean that no person who seeks political office will be barred from candidacy because of his inability to pay a portion of his expense from his own pocket. Both political parties have backed this amend- I ment as a realistic step toward iair reimbursement of Legislators. An increase in pay will not guarantee guar-antee that we will have the best legislators on Capitol Hill. But, an increase may appeal to more highly high-ly competent people. Our state legislators leg-islators should be of the same high competency that we, as voters, have learned to want and expect from our national legislators. The voice of the people, we feel Vote . . . Tuesday, Nov. 6 Ttw awnog pnnx.J t pubic kttarwl bf UTAH STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION peims S six years has accomplished much toward bettering the trespass problems prob-lems on private lands. One program of great benefit to both landowner and sportsman coming as a result of the Triangle program has been the printing and availability of a series of signs calling call-ing attention to trespass laws, the use of the land as the individual landowner wishes it to be used or not used and the obligation of the sportsman utilizing these lands for hunting. These signs will once a-gain a-gain this year be available, on a cost free basis, through department of fish and game offices over the state. Department of fish and game dir for the final seal coat, which will be poured next spring, is being donated do-nated by Max J. Robison, local distributor dis-tributor of the American Oil Co. Association members express gratitude to the two construction companies and are highly apprecia tive of the help received from Delta Del-ta City, Millard County and Utah State Road Depts.

We feel that the voice of the people will be more protected from pressure groups. QUESTION: (Inex) With the adoption of this Amendment Amend-ment and if we. as voters make sure that the most competent men are elected as state legislators, would such an amendment as Constitutional Con-stitutional Amendment No. 2 be necessary????? IN PASSING: We recently read in the Salt Lake Tribune a short news story oo former President Harry S. Trumaa having been listed by a group ot historians as one of the "nea greats" of all U.S. Presidents. "Ike" was listed by the same group, as "adequate". It's a fact that we do not always 1 agree with what our good friend Richard S. Morrison has to say-but say-but it's also a fact that we always find his articles interesting. This week's "Once Over" is no excep. tion. We disagree but it's good reading. FREEDOM: "Freedom is the right to think and make a choice". This statement state-ment was written by at least one pupil in Mr. Nielson'i fifth grade class at Delta Elementary our ten-year ten-year old. Where has anyone said so much so briefly? n 0 ) Qturckay o o ector Harold S. Crane urged landowners land-owners to pick up supplies of these signs and utilize them wherever possible on their lands. At the some time. Crane reminded remind-ed sportsmen to obey the trespass laws and observe the cardinal rules which will continue to improve public hunting on private lands: 1 Obtain permission to hunt; (2) avoid damage to fences or other installations; (3) close gates; (4) refrain from shooting near buildings build-ings or livestock; (5) control your dogs and prevent them from hazing haz-ing livestock; 6) don't be a litter-bug; litter-bug; and, t7) treat the property of others as you would have them treat your property. |
