Industrial Ass'n Asks Cooperation A formation meeting of the Loan Development Corporation will be held the first week in August, tentatively ten-tatively set for August 7. Exact date will be announced in next week's paper. The purpose oLthis organization is to make financing available for the construction of a building to lease to an outside company for industrial purposes, building of a golf course and aiding aid-ing in the financing of a sewing company in Hinckley. A local Highway Committee is being formed to aid in the placing of highway signs leading traffic into this area and to plan an overall over-all program for future highway route designations. Recreational areas are being planned with the hope of getting all local organizations interested in aiding this program. The boat dock area at Gunnison Bend Reservoir needs much work, better facilities and a fulltime caretaker to prevent destruction of facilities by vandalism vandal-ism as has been the case in past years. The support of ALL local organizations in this program is ernestly solicited. The group is also hopeful that the proposed golf course and picnic area can be incorporated in-corporated into an area that may be enlarged to accomodate a race track, bowling alley or other types of recreation. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated by the Millard Mil-lard County Industrial Development Develop-ment Ass'n. The MCIDA hastens to assure area residents that it is not trying to "run" any of the above mentioned men-tioned recreational items, but the ass'n has been asked by the County Coun-ty Commission and other interested parties and communities to help correlate the activities so that the job will get the full cooperation of all in the area. Any voluntary committees com-mittees now engaged with any of the above, and who may want to make suggestions or request further fur-ther information, should contact Dr. M. A. Lyman or Bill Bishop. "In Lieu of Tax" Payments totalling $6774.05 have been made to several counties of the state as "in lieu of tax" payments pay-ments on range lands owned by the Utah State Department of Fish and Game in these counties. The payments are equal to taxes on the lands as they would be assessed as-sessed if these lands were in private pri-vate ownership. They are for the 1963 tax year. The law requiring these payments pay-ments in lieu of taxes was passed by the 1963 Legislature. This law requires such payments in lieu of taxes on the land itself but not upon the buildings or other improve ments made upon these lands following fol-lowing purchase. Like taxes, it is to be paid each year. No such lands are presently owned own-ed in five counties of the state, namely Grand, Kane, Rich, San Juan and Tooele. The department said largest payments have gone to Duchesne and Millard Counties where a major portion of department depart-ment owned big game winter range lands are located. 24m of to meet with the east Millard group grew out of a meeting held in Delta Wednesday night, July 22, when the board met with its attorneys at-torneys to discuss the decision and to make future plans.

Lee Petersen Attorney At Law Fillmore, Utah July 28, 1964 fnez Riding, Editor The Millard County Chronicle Delta, Utah Dear Mrs. Riding: I accept your invitation to write a letter for publication in The Chronicle on behalf of the citizens committee expressing our feelings in general regarding the School Bond Election controversy and particularly par-ticularly our view of the matters reported in a three paragraph article ar-ticle which appeared in the July 28, 1964 issue of The Salt Lake Tribune. With regard to the article, it seems inappropriate that it should be datelined "Fillmore" when it was composed of information which you reported from Delta. The first paragraph of the article states that we "rejected the third bid of the Millard County Board of Education to meet to discuss differences dif-ferences in how a recently approved approv-ed building bond should be spent." This statement appears to us to be inaccurate. It seems to imply that we have rejected two prior "bids", but no such bids have been communicated com-municated to us. We have repeatedly repeat-edly communicated to the Board our willingness to meet with them and on two occasions a few months ago meetings were arranged between be-tween members of our committee and the three members of the School Board who reside in Hinckley, Hinck-ley, Delta, and Lynndyl. The first meeting was held without anything being accomplished, but the Board members failed to appear at the appointed time and place for the second meeting. Later that evening even-ing members of our committee and members of the Board met briefly, but, again, nothing was accomplished. accomp-lished. In view of this last abortive meeting and subsequent circumstances, circum-stances, we indicated to the Board last week that we would be happy to meet with them if they would be prepared to negotiate and possibly pos-sibly concede on the one remaining remain-ing point of conflict which we consider con-sider crucial the location of the proposed district office building and its priority. Otherwise we could see no potential benefit in a meeting. meet-ing. They rejected our offer to meet on that basis. . The second paragraph of the article states, in essence, that we consider priorities "assigned" in the bond election brochure and "up held" by Judge Erickson's decision unsatisfactory. We have not said this. The brochure makes no mention men-tion of priorities and the Judge merely said that the Board has the sole right to deterimne priorities. As a matter of fact, we would like to have the Board commit itself to certain priorities including the new JunioivSenior High School in Delta as Number One but our understanding un-derstanding is that the Judge's decision de-cision left the matter of priorities wide open. Contrary to the third paragraph of the article, the only indications made to date by our group regard ing appeal of the district court rul ing has been to express our reluctance reluct-ance to do so, though we are not immediately waiving our right to appeal. In general, we believe that compliance com-pliance by the School Board with the manifest intentions of the bond election brochure and Judge Erickson's Erick-son's decision will greatly contribute contrib-ute to good will and harmony a-mong a-mong the citizens of Millard County. Coun-ty. We are ready and willing to support the building of a new Junior-Senior High School in Delta in compliance with the court order. We only ask that the Board be equally willing to comply with their brochure regarding the building build-ing of the district office in Fillmore. Fill-more. We earnestly hope that the wounds of this controversy may soon be healed. Please understand that I do not accuse you personally of bad faith in making your report to The Tribune. Tri-bune. I am well aware that large newspapers do not always print articles exactly as they are report ed. I am also aware that your understanding un-derstanding of some of these mat ters differs with mine. I appreciate your extending me this opportunity to publicly express our views via your newspaper. I hope this letter will contribute to mutual understanding as it is my purpose to be conciliatory rather man miiamatory. Sincerely yours, A. Lee Petersen Supt. of Millard District Named Dr. Vermon Barney, a native of Hatch, Utah, assumes his duties as Supt. of Schools of Millard County School Dist. August 3.
