Bicentennial Theatre Report Dan Joseph By Because of the winter weather, construction of the theater will cease until warmer weather, in the Spring. Except for the lighting, ceiling and plumbing fixtures the project is nearly completed. Total money available for the project so far has been: a $6,000 grant from the Utah State Bicentennial $6,000 Commission; matching money from Beaver City and $1,553.00 donated by the people of Beaver City. Expenses to date for materials and labor have come to $10,775.00. This leaves a balance of $2,778.00 to complete the project. The committee would appreciate it if all those who made pledges to the project could pay these pledges by early spring so the project can be completed before the summer season of 1977. The theater committee would like to thank all those who have helped with the project, especially Chalmer Davis, who has supervised the construction, and Kim Davis, who has done most of the work. It is hoped that next spring the Little League will have restroom facilities available to them and storage space for equipment in the basement and that many fine cultural events can take place on the new stage. The people of Beaver are invited to give their suggestions as to the final completion of the stage area and the securing of props and background materials. Questions and suggestions can be directed to Dan F. Joseph, Chairman of the City Parks and Recreation Committee.

Residential properties should see a reduction of 8 in their insurance premiums. Speaking of the new ratings, Conrad Grimshaw reported that the new insurance rates should more than cover the cost of the levy set to supply fire protection. He said that the 8 reduction would, in most cases, more than equal the added Uix. " Councilman Hal Lund then told the Lions that they should remember that the bond election set for next month will not mean increased water rates. "The went into effect hist summer, the bond f lection merely authorizes the city to borrow the money on an interest free loan to build the improvements which may well resuh in an additional in ;. cur reuutrkir. insurance new-rate- rates." in Unfair! And I suppose in all honesty I have to agree. A couple of weeks ago I visited a class where the activities programs of the high schools was one of the items being discussed in somewhat of a debate setting. Boys competitive athletic activities were contrasted with girls athletic activities. competitive Points were made of differences in funding, numbers of activities, prominence of public awareness and other obvious differences. The one point which "stings" a little the most was the point that the pub'ic doesn't set m to "care" about the giris program - e.g. basketball, drill team, volleyball, (how many of you knew that our volleyball team at Beaver High School didn't lose a game until the finals and that our drill team at Milford High School is considered one of the more competitive in the region this year?) Questions were asked such as whether a banquet is ever held for a winning giils team, are their pictures ever in the paper (oihcr than drill team), would they be considicd for a "screaming" ride on the lire engine even if they won, arc their events listed on the high school marquee, hew many people come out as spectators to support the teams?

She reported that the students at Milford High are enthusiastic. However, the grammar the students use is not as good as it should be. She is emphasizing both oral and written participation so the students can learn to hear as well as write correct grammar. She said the. students need to learn to listen more perceptively. Miss Ramsay said she is individualizing the course. She feels that not enough has been expected of pupils in the past. Continued on Back Page Discussing the proposed improvement program for the city water system has brought out some questions which deserve answers. The first question, rather the one heard most often, is: Will this program correct the problem found in some areas of low water pressure at peak periods in the summer? Answer: to some extent. Completion of the Main Street line w ill help to even up the amount of water available to the main lines as they go west from Main Street. That and the new laterals should help in solving the low pressure problems. in addition, it is planned to continue to carry on the yearly begun improvement program some 15 years ago. Revenue projections for the next 16 years as worked out by the financial specialist from the bonding company set the yearly revenue at today's rate at approximately $50,000. Of that amount, $12,000 is set up for use for operation and maintenance; beginning with the first payment in 1979, $24,000 will be needed to retire the bonds, for six years, until a fund of $24,000 has been built up, $4,000 per year will be placed in a special reserve fund for bond retirement; for the first ten years $1,200 will be placed into a special reserve emergency fund. This means that beginning in 1979 after all the above are paid, a balance of $8,800 will be left to continue with the yearly improvement projects. After six years, an additional $4,000 will be available for new projects and at the end of ten years there should be $14,000 yearly available for new improvements. Some worry has been voiced as County Commission Meeting Notes Beaver County's new Board of Commissioners met for their first meeting on Thursday, January 6th in the Commission chambers at the courthouse. The first order of business was naming a chairCommissioner man. Johnson nominated Commissioner Howard Pryor, seconded by Mr. Pryor and passed unanimously. Ronald Highway Patrolman Gale met with the commissioners to discuss a number of areas: First, he asked what is the status of replacement units for county-owneradar machines. He reported that the present machines are getting older and there is need for an ongoing program to add to the number of machines plus a need to program replacements for the older models. This was discussed and Auditor reorted that there is $2,000 in the budget for purchase of a machine plus any repairs needed. Commissioner Johnson said he feels the recommendations of Trooper Gale should be implemented, that the radar devices reduce significantly the cost of enforcement of the law and that there should be an annual budget set up for that purpose. Trooper Gale then turned the discussion to the need for fencing He said that along Highway road has been designated as one of the roads most in need of cattle control in Utah by the Department of Transportation. He reported that he had personally Continued on Back Page d Dot-so- n to the dancer of damaging water tanks and other water using appliances through the pressure needed to lift the water from the well to the new storage tank. This problem is being studied and solutions planned. One being considered is installation of a pressure relief valve on the down side of the main line w hich would reduce the line pressure in town while holding increased pressure in the line going to the tank. It would be helpful and perhaps necessary for homes connected above the valve to have individual relief valves installed for their own protection. This can be done at moderate expense. It is also true that for years the well near the cemetery was run during the night and it pumped water into and filled the old head house. It could well be that with the larger line and reduced "skin friction" it will be possible to boost the water from the pump back to the new storage tank without generating excessive pressures. Most of the questions I have had posed to me concern projects which will be done after the present one is completed. These should really be considered from this plan rather than as alternatives. The plan proposed, along with improvements underway by the fire department, should lead to another reduction in insurance rates, with the addition of other projects which will be done during the life of the bonds, Beaver City's water system should reach the point where it will be one of the finest in Utah with every home assured of all the water needed at reasonable rates. Reductions in insurance premiums which will come as the work goes forward can be considered as an added bonus. y Sr. Citizens' Plot Lunch at Belknap A hot lunch for Senior Citizens will be served Thursday, Jan. 6, 1977 at 12:30 p.m. at the Belknap School instead of at the high school.
