Show Members of the Midvale City council discussed a proposal from Sandy City for the possible resolving of a dispute between the two cities over Midvale's annexation of property along the north side of 8600 S. west of Monroe during last Tuesday night's meeting of the council. Included in that Sandy proposal were ideas to have Midvale purchase some Sandy water facilities in the area, participate financially with Sandy's extension of Harrison St. south of Princeton St., and the possible annexation by Midvale of all the property west of Monroe and south of Princeton to 8600 S. The Midvale officers made no specific response to any one part of the proposal, but due to comments from residents in the present annexation area over possible private ownership of some of the water system in the area, the council agreed to form a commitee to gather more facts on the situation and continue discussions with Sandy. Later on in the meeting, the council agreed to send a letter to the state division of social services informing the state of the city's decision to drop the $15 licensing fee for state regulated day care centers in the city, which receive the majority of their payments for services from welfare money or other government aid. But, the council added they would not give up the right to inspect such business for safety and fire hazards. The move was prompted by an incident in which such a center in the city would not allow the fire department to make a full inspection of its facilities, according to city recorder, Jack Jorgensen. The council felt that matter what state regulation was Twiggs with representatives of the present, the city would share some of county, some mention was made by no the responsibility should a problem occur. The council said that any violations of city codes would be reported to the state for correction. The council agreed to have the city's legal counsel look over a proposed contract for city payment to the county for the operation of 19 street lights within city limits. If ok'd the city would go ahead with payment. However, on another matter of business with the county, Midvale declined a payment of over $28,000 to the county as the city's share of the costs for the widening of 7200 S. just east of State St. near the Colletts furniture store. Councilman Carl Snow told the council that in a past meeting involving him and former Mayor Boyd Twiggs about the city possibly participating with the county. However, Snow reported at that point, he informed those present that any committment must be approved by the council and that approval has never been given, although the county contends now the city did make some kind of commitment. A motion by Snow to deny payment to the county of the $28,000 was amended to read that the city declined the amount requested by the county. The motion to make the amendment was made by Councilman Moses Samowitz and seconded by Councilman Richard Vincent and passed unanimously, following which the Snow motion, as amended, also passed unanimously. The city said they would continue to negotiate lbS10"Ci E12!01i13S Ellin sdniTDDirBDstratoir The Jordan Board of Education Tuesday approved several administrative recommendations throughout district schools.

Garn said that about 50 senators agree that the canal treaties are not vote for good treaties, but the the first treaty was achieved by the Cub Scouts 68-3- 2 because some administration senators are naive and others are purely politicians "feathering their own nests" and not wanting to damage the image of the president and thereby achieving their own political stability. "The reasons for many of the aye votes had nothing to do with the pros and cons of the treaties," Garn insisted. The speaker said he was opposed to the Panama Canal treaties because they endangered the U. S. ability to defend the canal; U. S. gave away a $9.7 billion asset; the U. S. guarantees mainenance funds if fees charged become inadequate. Sen. Garn said he spent a day in company with President Torritos and is convinced that the U. S. should remain independent of any dictator who has the awesome power of the Panamanian leader. He commented that citizens of Panama frankly asked the U. S. to delay approval so that they would be "treated well" for a longer period of time while the decision was being made. Garn said he is also concerned because the treaties do not permit the United States to negotiate for the , another canal. In return for this, U. S. has exclusive rights to a canal in Panama, a condition which is of no interest to any other nation anyway. "I think we should have the opportunity to negotiate anywhere at any time," Garn added, "and if the U. S. built a sea level canal, the Panama Canal would be worthless." In answer to questions on other subjects, the senator indicated that the upcoming SALT treaty with prepare for carnival Ticket sales have started for the "Wonderful World of Scouting" Cub Scout Carnival, to be held April 8, Saturday, from 1 to 6 p.m. in the Salt Palace.

"I am convinced we are trading away our national security in SALT," Garn said, adding that we will be down to a navy, and air force research funds and the one-ocea- n billion shipbuilding provision have been taken from the military budget, so that USSR is spending twice what we are to develop new weapons. "The administration seems to feel we can afford food stamps but not an adequate defense budget," he concluded. "And we are spending more to regulate oil companies than to find more oil." $5 City increases efficiency in waste pickup waste Recently, two collection vehicles arrived in Sandy City which were immediately placed in service. The arrival of these new vehicles mark a tremendous efficiency increase in waste collection operations, according to Sandy City Mayor W. Paul Thompson. Sandy City has been using a fleet of five rear packers which necessitate a minimum of two waste collectors per vehicle one to drive and the other to pick up waste. The new vehicles, called require only one individual who both drives and picks up the refuse. This is accomplished by the use of a right hand driver and a front side loading system. In a cost analysis and study conducted by city administrator, James R. Ash, the new system can save nearly $250,000 in the next five years. These new vehicles allow one waste collector to accomplish the same amount of work that formerly required two personnel. In order to establish a proper incentive for full utilization of these vehicles, Sandy will be paying its operators approximately $100 extra per month for running this more sophisticated, complex and labor saving equipment. Reaction from the drivers has thus far been favorable. These new cost $45,476 each as compared with $47,000 for a rear packer. They have a 23 yard capacity using a diesel engine and six wheels compared to a 25 yard capacity of the other vehicles. With these new vehicles only one trip is required each day to the sanitary landfill compared with two trips under the old system. one-pers- Shu-pack- s, Shu-pac- ks |
