Show Prepares' Cm)g)ire - WASHINGTON Con(UPI) gress is preparing final action on a $4.6 billion jobs bill. The House was scheduled to vote on a compromise version this afternoon, but Senate Republican leader Howard Baker said it was possible the Senate might not be able to act until Wednesday, the expiration date of states' unemployment benefits that were tied to the bill. President Reagan is expected to sign the final version after it is approved by both houses. Although it is about $300 million more than the president's target, it is well within the $5 billion limit aides warned would trigger a veto. The conference committee settled on a final version of the bill Monday evening. The bill contains an additional $5 billion in unemployment-ai- d funds for 27 states and the District of Columbia.

Director of the Water Treatment Facility, Garland Mayne, says, "The water has already flooded the lower portion of our property. The dike will relieve the threat of the water entering the plant facilities." The facility treats sewage water from American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Lehi and Alpine. According to Mayne, "Employees from each of these cities and their city equipment are being used to construct the dike." . Mayne added, "The design of the plant with the new dike should allow the lake to rise to 4,498 feet before the effluent is affected."

The testimony was given in a preliminary hearing today for Louis Joseph Malek, 30, of Richfield, who is charged with first degree attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm by a felon and aggravated robbery.

At press time, police were still trying to talk the man out of the house and additional officers from the county sheriff's department were called. Police declined to identify the man. The incident began about 10 a.m. this house. The light at the end of Utah's recessionary tunnel may finally be in sight. Utahns can expect a "modest but clearly discernible recovery" of the state's economy in 1983, according to R. Thayne Robson, director of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah. Robson predicts two of the hardest-hit segments of the economy construction and retail sales will experience the most significant improvement in 1983. He has no soothing words for miners or fanners, however. "The mining and agricultural sectors will likely remain relatively static for the year," says Robson in the latest issue of the year, it will be due to rising defense expenditures, a good year in skiing and tourism, a recovery in retail trade, an improvement in home building and the continuing growth and vitality of Utah's unique service sector." He says statewide employment should increase by 10,000 in 1983, but proportional increases in the labor force will keep the unemployment rate hovering around eight percent. Robson paints an otherwise posi- -' tive picture for Utah workers in 1983. Personal income will increase percent and state tax revenues will increase by six percent, Robson projects. He expects a dramatic increase in construction, predicting- - that 12,000 building permits will be issued in by eight or nine compared to 1982's 7,600. In 1977, Utah's peak construction year, 23,000 permits were issued. The key to a healthy state economy in the future is maintaining a strong economic development program, Jobson says. "Economic and industrial development programs cannot be shut down in good years without having 1983, serious consequences during the poor years," he states. "A long-tercommitment to economic growth and development is required at all phases of the business cycle, if Utah is to provide jobs for the natural increase in its labor force." The national recovery will be slower than Utah's, according to Robson. m "The most reasonable scenario for the national economy in 1983 ist for recovery to begin sometime' between January and June and the pace proceed at about one-ha- lf of previous recoveries." He says the prime interest rate must drop below 10 percent and the rate for conventional mortgages must dip to 12 percent or below to support a sustained recovery. morning.

"I would have had to wait for the garnishment anyway. I was hoping I could get the back payments faster this way so I would not have to resort to welfare." Monday, the Utah Supreme Court heard arguments in the Dishong case. They have taken the matter under advisement. Mrs. Dishong says that when her failed to make payments, she asked Fourth District Court Judge J. Robert Bullock to order her husband's wages garnished at a hearing in which only she was present.

"If you wanted to write a fiction story of manipulation, complete and total unobservance of the law, this would be it." Cedar Hills Mayor Richard Turnbrow said feelings are hard in both of the neighboring towns, Judging by letters he has received. But he said leaders and residents should sit dowu and work out solutions. Maurice Peterson, who owns land adjacent to property annexed by Cedar Hills, says the "Mickey Mouse operation of Cedar Hills" illegally annexed the land. "That is the nastiest, totally Turnbrow says Peterson's claims are unfounded. "Mr. Peterson lives in a fictional world, and the intensity of his feelings is laughable," he said. "We believe we have a legal petition, and if they believe otherwise, we'll see them in court as defendants." The city wants to settle the issue out of court, according to : . V Turnbrow. "We thought we were headed on the road to conciliation, and now we find that Mr. Peterson is up to his old tricks." Pleasant Grove treasurer Robert Williams said the controversy started when Manila residents asked to be annexed. Pleasant Grove annexed a block of south Manila and Cedar Hills annexed a part of north Manila. Later, residents in and around the north Manila asked that their land be taken out of Cedar Hills, and instigated a law suit to ensure that it was. The suit is now on "hold" to see if an settlement can be reached, according to officials of the towns. "I've never seen so much hatred generated by an annexation," said Bart Draper, one of the residents whose property was annexed by Cedar Hills. The suit was originally initiated by those annexed out-of-co- residents. Pleasant Grove's Williams says bad feelings no longer exist between the cities of Pleasant Grove and Cedar Hills. |
