The letter added, "We believe we have now come to the point in time where planning must be concluded and construction activities begin. We therefore request that upon completion of your review....you reply to this office at the earliest possible date with a letter of support for the proposal or with questions you desire answered before making your decision." At least one more meeting between the two communities will apparently have to be held. Garland Mayor Eldon Griffin said Monday, "I think we're very near to an agreement but we need to talk it over." He and councilman, Thad Poulter, plan to meet with Tremonton Mayor Max Mason and Harry Gephart for further discussion. "The two proposals are very nearly equal in price, initially," the Mayor said. "We want to talk about potential additional cost due to power. The oxidation ditch requires more power."

"The trickling filter will not meet water quality standards that the state' demands" and will impose in 1980, he said. Fred Pherson, an engineer for the Division of Health, on the other hand, acknowledges Rueckert's contention but notes, "We feel it would." "We're not disagreeing with him," he added ambiguously. "We would have approved the trickling filter if it was presented to us." Hansen has also pointed out that for another $113,000 the trickling filter process could be modified to increase plant capacity to 14,200 instead of the 8,100 design population for the oxidation ditch. But Pherson said Hansen's contention "shouldn't really enter into" the Projections, Pherson said, indicate the combined population of Tremonton and Garland would be less than the 8,100 population at the time when the existing plant and planned improvements are "outdated." "What's the use of designing a facility for 14,000" if it is outdated and worn out before the population gets past 8,100?" Pherson asked, rhetorically. He also pointed out that the oxidation ditch could be modified similarly for a larger population. Mayor Griffin said he doesn't see any need for enlarging the plant to accommodate 14,200 people. Rueckert points out that the increased service fee per month will actually plant improvements themselves through higher service fee rates. Still up in the air also, is the question of a new contract with Garland for use of the Tremonton facility. The two councils have generally agreed that a new contract should be written. "I think we've pretty well decided we'll operate it on a sewer district concept," Mayor Griffin said. "We haven't been negotiating" on the contract question, he noted. But, he added, "I don't think there should be any real problems." EARN EXTRA WITH DAILY NTEMEST IFA TIRE SALE Featuring Tires 40-ye-ar be somewhat larger than the $1.89 o $1.71 figures. Another 35 cents pe month has to be added to the Tremor ton sewer fee to repay money used t rehabilitate old sewer lines within th city. The work was done to eliminat ground water from seeping into th system Vhich does not need treatinj but overloads the system. Garland, which will do similar work will have to add a similar or perhap higher amount. The actual increase in Tremontoi per month then, if the oxidation ditcl is retained, would be $2.25. Rueckert said the latest estimate 0 construction cost using the oxidatioi ditch process is $1,016,026 which does n't include the $55,000 spent rehabili tating sewer lines. The estimate of construction cost foi the alternate trickling filter process u estimated at $1,028,266 plus the cost o rehabilitation. If the two communities can ge together quickly, Rueckert said h( could have plans and specification: ready in about six weeks. The stat then normally takes 30 days to review and another month would be requirec to bid the project. Estimated construe tion time is one year. Pherson acknowledges that had th two communities been able to submit e mutually acceptable plan at the outset the plant would "be well into tht construction phase by now." The dispute "may have delayed tht project as much as a year, now," ht said. With construction costs escalat ing at about ten percent a year, the twe cities may have been involved in a $100,000 dispute. But, Pherson also acknowledges that "Garland did have valid questions that needed to be answered." Protection The Environmental Agency provides 75 percent of the funding for the project, with Tremonton providing 25 percent. Garland has to provide 25 percent of the funding for rehabilitation of sewer lines in its city. It also participates in funding of the r selOUCAMDep Co-o- p two-thir- picture. Lions Help members will be selling miniature white canes in the coming week to help conserve the sight of millions of Americans. The Utah Lion's White Cane Sale is held annually to raise money for sight conservation and service to the blind. Local Chairman Carl Borup said all money raised by the sales is spent in Utah. Much of the money is used to support an "eye bank" at the University of Utah Medi-cal Center in Salt Lake City. Last year the eye bank provided 94 corneas for transplant free of chargW Corneas are donatedMy people at their death, entire council. "Some feel , let's go get it over with, and some want to think a little more," he noted. Engineer Hansen contends that the trickling filter system would "result in the most economical service fee and since this system also requires only of the electrical energy of the other type of treatment. Garland is of the opinion that the communities should take a more serious look at the trickling filter system." The monthly service fee increase for the oxidation ditch process would be $1.89 compared to $1.71 for the trickling filter process. Those figures are based on a payback at 5 percent, which is offered by the Farmers Home Administration. Frank A. Rueckert of Valley Engineering says a doubling of the present power rates would "only mean a 17 cent increase per month." But, Rueckert is adamant about another contention which he feels makes the trickling filter process ON PASSBOOK SAVINGS should be tougher for demanding rural service and they are! are with you 100 making your passbook savings earn the very most because with daily interest the rate of return on your savings is higher, and interest is paid from the day of deposit to the day of withdrawal.
