Valley Cities The Salt Lake County Commission this week told West Jordan, South Jordan, and Riverton that they will have until April 1 to enter into contractural agreements with the county to provide garbage collection services, street lighting, highway construction and maintenance, and police, and fire protection. The ruling by the county commission may force South Jordan and Riverton to disincorporate but West Jordan may survive due to a broader tax base in the community. West Jordan has just hired a city marshal and is in the process of setting up a garbage collection system of its own. The action of the commission was approved by a Commissioner vote with Marvin G.

This means that students would be asked to stay at school once they arrive at the school in the morning until their school day was over at 2:53. This motion was carried and is being done with the blessings of the school administration. The school lunch program is providing some of the articles that the students have been leaving the school to purchase. The students have been requested to either bring sack lunches, stop at the stores and purchase those items, or buy a hot lunch. copper supplies. Today, the strike is well into its ninth month, and the emergency situation has worsened, if anything. To the best of Kennecott's knowledge the unions are apparently engaged in a deliberate "stall" insofar as seeking to resolve local issues." discussions More local were scheduled with craft unions in Salt Lake Wednesday but by Sentinel press time no immediate end to the strike was in sight. plied that the vow of one union official that no one will return to work until differences in the entire industry are settled, will be carried out. Mr Dowell said, "That as of today there appears to be little interest on the pait of the striking unions to resolve local issues and get back to work soon.

V I I The students at Midvale Junior High School have all supported this program very well, and have found by trying it out that they can find things to do at school so that it is not necessary for them to leave during the noon hour. This seems to have solved many problems caused by the students leaving school, namely, the danger of jaywalking, and their personal safety as they leave school without supervision. The school is in no way forcing students to purchase school lunches. Students are encouraged to bring their sack lunches from home or plan a day ahead by stopping at the local stores and purchase the materials they wish to have. It is the feeling of the administration that the studentbody has shown a great deal of maturity in trying to solve their own problems and some of the problems that may be created in the community by having a large number of students their age in one particular area at a time. school 30. Monday Kennecott officials said that after three days of meeting they are no closer to a settlement of local union issues than they were before. James E. Petersen, industrial relations director, told a Monday press conference "Eighteen locals have an aggregate of 270 issues and 3 list is growing. Some of the steelworker units have demands on the from table. Some of them have resubmitted demands previously withdrawn. Some of them have, at this late date, added new demands." Both Mr Petersen and Edwin E. Dowell, director of public relations for Kenne-cott'- s western mining division, stated that union officials are not cooperating by their absence at local discussions. They charged that decision making officials of the unions are in Atlantic City, New Jersey, attending a convention steelworkers and will be there until the end of the week.

The three cities were forced into third-clascity status last July by action of the state legislature. But revenues from Class C road funds, local option sales taxes, and liquor profits are not enough to provide small population communities with the revenue to carry on their own methods of providing the services required. Under the ruling the cities would have to pay the cost of of the services plus 26 their share of proportionate overhead expenses. ... Spring, Wednesday mornthe copper ing, entered old strike as the strike has now gone into all seasons of the year. The strike called July 15 has now lasted 251 days. What appeared to be and, is probably encouraging news, last Friday soon faded into the same dullness on Monday as negotiations o;S local issues bogged down. Friday morning Kennecott Copper Corp. announced that a tentative agreement had been reached with all 26 unions involved on the basic economic problems.

The raise will amount to an additional expenditure to the city of $472.97 monthly or $1,891.88 for the remainder of the current budget. When the budget is drawn up for the next year city employees pay will once again be examined and if various areas of potential revenue show that they may gain another pay raise would be considered. The raise was termed as a cost of living raise. The entire council voted in favor of the increase in pay with the only discussion being whether the raise should be on a percentage basis or a flat, across the board increase. The annual payroll of the city will be raised $5,675.64. Ben G. City Attorney, Bagley, read to the council a tentative interloculatory agreement which the city could enter into with West Jordan, South Salt Lake, Murray, and Sandy in forming a garbage dump on property owned by West Jordan and leased from Kennecott Copper Corp. by Midvale, Sandy, and West Jordan east of Copperton. West Jordan owns 5 acres of land at the site and Midvale, Sandy, and West Jordan have a lease on 50 acres. If all parties involved agree to the proposition the five cities could dump all the garbage collected within their boundaries and anyone else (the county) would have to pay for the use of the dump. Initial cost to the cities would be $7,000 each for the purchase of equipment work done on them. The work will consist of repairing, patching, overlaying, seal coating, and, where renecessary, complete building.
