But help may be on the way. County and city officials met Wednesday evening in a Council of Governments moving one step closer to the eventual establishment of a county-wid- e address system. If a half-mi- le The plan, adopted by the county some time back, was originally the brain child of county utility companies who wanted a system which would "eliminate confusion being generated by different address systems in each town," Denton Beecher county surveyor said. A telephone repairman unfamiliar with the area, for instance, faced with the prospects of locating a home in Thatcher whose address is simply RFD 2 has a problem. "Some of the cities were already looking for a new system," Beecher noted when the county adopted it. Under the system, when the county implemented, courthouse in Brigham City is used as a central reference point since it sits both on a section line and a line. From that point each mile travelling north or south and east or west is divided into 800 numbers. Even numbers are on the right and odd numbers are on the left when departing from the central point in any direction. For instance, the address for the cross roads east of half-secti- on Tremonton would be 11200 North 5200 West Changing over to the system could take at least two or three years or "even longer" before the county get to the caliber of say Weber county which already has the system. Brigham City for instance will likely not change their system, Beecher said, since their streets running north and south "would fit but not east and west" without resigning. "Some of the other communities may not change, In they may want to stay with the system they have," Beecher added. The Bear River Valley is the area the county hopes to get involved first before worrying about unpopulated areas. Mountain Bell, for one though, will insist on the system. The firm will not give out a telephone number without an address, the surveyor declared. To get his address under the new system when having a phone installed a home owner "has to come in and cont. on page five by Continental Telephone of Utah; Helen Buck by Brigham Truck and Implement; Debb-or- ah Leak by Carolyn's Ceramics; lenls Boyer by The 45th annual Wheat and Beet Days celebration in Garland gets underway tonight beginning three days of activities culminating Saturday evening with the traditional parade.

If okayed in all nine communities, the vote will give the North Box Elder Hospital Board the right to raise a maximum of $927,000 thru the sale of general obligation bonds for the construction of the new hospital which will be located on the old migrant labor camp site northwest of Tremonton. The vote which is expected to see a light turnout will take place in the communities of Tremonton, Garland, Snowvllle, Elwood, Howell, Portage, Plymouth, FiBox HEADY TO VOTE Tremonton businessman J.D.. Harris indicates whkh box to mark if a voter is infavor of next Tuesday's bond election to finance a new hospital. elding and Deweyville. Each community will use its maximum bonding capacity for hospital purposes as collateral, in effect for the sale of the bonds. The opsales tax tional half-ce- nt which has been in effect for two quarters now will be used to retire the bonds on an equal basis in each of the even nine communities though some of the communities will receive no sales tax whUe Tremonton "collects" approximately 80 percent of it hospital board officials have taken pains to point out Each of the communities tias already entered into an interlocal agreement with the hospital board pledging to turn over their ihare ofthe sales tax money when called on. Each of the communities will be okaying the issuance of bonds in the following if passed: Tremonton Garland ($504, 000 . ($116,000): Fielding ($30,-00non-pro- fit 0): Deweyville ($62,000): Portage ($19,000): Snowville ($23,000): Howell ($74,000): Plymouth ($15,000) and Elwood ($84,000). Issuance of the bonds will not deplete the general obligation bonding capacity of each of the communities since hospital bonding is a sep- arate category. Tremonton for instance, has approximately $383,000 in outstanding general obligation bonds but it could at a future date issue up to $625,000 in general obligation bonds for water, sewer and lighting purposes if needed. Little opposition has surfaced to the bond election. Hospital Board Secretary Mel Foxley did say this week that some opposition had been voiced in the Howell area. The opposition apparent--y centers over the fact that Howell is being asked to bond for $74,000 but they receive no sales tax. Some Howell residents apparently are the city will be liable for the total amount if something goes awry. Foxley said he has repeatedly attempted to explain that even though Tre monton is the collection point for almost 80 percent of the sales tax under the point of origin provision of the sales tax law, the money will be used to retire all the bonds on an eaual basis. First quarter sales tax receipts in the nine communities totaled $19,489 during what is gene rally conceded to be one of the slackest quarters of the year. The nine communities expect to tally more than $80,000 a year which can be used to retire the bonds. The Secretary said Monday he feels more optimistic about the hospital than at any previous time. Hospital architects from the firm of Design West met Monday with the county's architect Don Frandsen and are coordinating apparently closely the design of the new nursing home with the hospital down to the color ofthe brick. The two structures will apparently sit one behind the other facing sixth north with their long axis running to the north. Both facilities could be expanded at a later date to the north. Foxley said also that the hospital board completed the mountainous paper work necessary to apply for federal funds under the act Receipt of the federal matching funds could help reduce considerably the amount of money which will be raised through general obligation bonds.
