September 9. 197fi I) Must Keep Control Of RC & D Project, cont. from page one Commissioner Says A bid by two Idaho counties to join the Bear River RC&D project has prompted concern on the part of a Box Elder County Commission- er. The two counties, Caribou and Bear Lake, have made a bid to join with Box Elder, Oneida, Cache, Rich counties in the RC&D project. But County Commissioner Don Chase feels he is obligated to watch out for the interests of Box Elder County in the matter. Chase said Tuesday he isn't against the two counties joining with the condition that Box Elder County's control of the project isn't jeopardized. Chase admits his position sounds a bit selfish, but points out that it was Box Elder County which pioneered the RC&D project a decade ago. "After a few years of Chase said, success," "Cache, Rich and Oneida counties wanted to join. "Our people at that time agreed to take them in with the understanding that the sponsoring agencies would be controlled by Box Elder County.. .because Box Elder County didn't want to lose control of our own project." The project has a total of 27 sponsors consisting of various conservation districts, grazing associations and irrigation companies along with the county commission and cities. Sponsors appoint members to the RC&D executive board which handles the y operation. Tremonton, Garland and Brig-haCity, for instance, have the right to name one member to the board. Box Elder County sponsors have maintained control of 14 of the 27 sponsors of the project thus maintaining project control. "For us to put ourselves in a position of being able to be voted out of our own organization is the main objection," Chase said. The commissioner pointed out that benefits obtainable through the project are being diluted as available funds are cut back and more counties are allowed into the project. One problem for counties on the outside looking in is the difficulty in starting up new RC&D projects. Commissioner Reed Nielsen, the county's representative on day-to-da- m the executive board, pointed out that both Caribou and Bear Lake counties have made unsuccessful applications to other RC&D groups in Idaho and Wyoming. Chase feels the local RC&D project has been a "good program." It has been instrumental in providing funding for numerous drainage district projects in the county as well as culinary water systems. Said Chase, "...I'm certainly against destroying it in our own county at the expense of someone else." Commissioner Nielsen said the executive board hopes to settle the question of admitting the two new counties during September. Another problem that seems to be facing the local project is to get its sponsors' representatives to show up at meetings. Nielsen said there were only about six voting members at a recent meeting.

"I suggest we make whatever adjustments are necessary. It's hung over our head long enough," he said. Webb met with the fire department to get a handle on what is needed to finish the building. The council voted to use $12,000 of $25,000 it budgeted under capital outlay. Councilman Reese Mason pointed out that the $25,000 had originally been set aside to purchase a new garbage truck before that service was turned over to a private firm. He cautioned the city about that fact in light of its pressure problem during the peak summer months. Gephart commended citizens for their cooperation. Hirschi said he has had citizens threaten not to pay their bill because the firm alledgedly only picked up half of their garbage. Mayor Max Mason said he feels one problem is that the firm never "has men on the truck who know Tremonton." In other action, councilman Harry Gephart an- decision to possibly get back into the garbage business. Councilmen also gave approval to a set of final plans for construction of improvements at the sewer treatment plant. Total cost of the project is $860,000 with the Environmental Protection Agency picking up of the tab. Even though the project will be bid this fall, construction will not begin until next year.
