Mass Shirlyane Margaret i Damon Porter, 40, Springville Legislators View Session John B. Cooper Probably the single most important piece of legislation passed by the 42nd Legislature was the "circuit breaker" bill, designed "to give property tax relief to the elderly on fixed incomes, according to Rep. John Cooper, County. Other important tax bills passed were the bills to reduce the sales tax on utilities from four percent to three percent and to eliminate the state inheritance tax. The latter bill will have a significant impact on Utah County, which is the most heavily agricultural county in the state, he added. Rep. Cooper said it was unfortunate the legislature spent so much time on less important bills during the early part of the session then at the end had to rush through important bills which needed more time for study. As an example, he cited a little known bill passed which if the gorernor signs, will raise the amount of bond required by car dealers from $5,000 to $20,000. "It may hurt the little guy that only sells a dozen cars a year," he said, adding, "and I'm concerned that we may have hurt him." Mr. Cooper said he hopes the small used car dealer is not harshly affected by the bill if it become law, and it appears the governor will sign the bill. He believes the liquor labeling bill, which was watered down to include merely posting signs warning that liquor can be hazardous to health inside state liquor sores and private clubs, "got a lot of mileage for what it was," and the $100,000 allocated might be better spent on some other method of control. Mr. Cooper said the governor will likely call a special session in June or July the drought foremost on the agenda. He also expects the governor to ask for help in relieving the reduced funds for the State Department of Transportation. The governor's increased gas tax proposal was defeated by the legislature this session. Ted M. Davis said he felt the Rep. Ted Davis, 1977 an abundance of work and a minumum of emotional issues, which he had experienced in his three previous terms in the Utah House. "I felt it was abundant with efficiency, hard work, dedication, and very little fanfare," he said. He pointed out that this legislative session saw over 1100 bills put on the dockets for consideration, more than ever before. "I was pleased with the action taken on the three of more than g tax cut measures, and felt the 200 bills prior to the first session helped us to get so much legislation acted upon," he said. Mr. Davis expressed his disappointment that no action was taken to le lengthen the time that legislators meet each two years. He said a general session every two years is not enough, adding that some legislators feel "frustrated because there isn't enough time in that 60 days." He said he favors having a general session each year. d Republican-controlleThe political split between the House and the Democratically-dominateSenate did not cause any major problems in his opinion, although he said "the Democrats had a stronger hold in the Senate than we anticipated, and thus some of the Republican senators voted with Utah Legislature was characterized by pre-filin- 60-d- 60-d- d them." March 2; Mr. Nielsen serves on the appropriations committee, the natural resources committee and the social services standing committee. The representative said he felt a state constitutional amendment was in order to change the legislature's schedule. He favored two 45 day general sessions each year. "We can't put together a billion dollar budget in 20 days," he commented. In terms of water in Utah, the legislator said he was very upset at President Carter's announcement that the Central Utah Project had been cut from federal funding. He further said he was pleased the legislature allocated $3.3 million in a revolving loan fund for small water projects. He also reported another bill which has set aside another $1.5 million loan fund for rehabilitation of culinary systems in small rural communities. So far as the $5 million contingency fund for drought relief, is concerned, Mr. Nielsen said he expects a special session in une or July will be called to spell out how it is to be used. He also indicated he was pleased there was $500,000 set aside for emergency drought relief which would not require legislative action. In all the Fairview resident was pleased with the efforts of the law making session. Almost as an afterthought he said he was glad that the bill passed banning state funds for use in abortions for women on welfare. Robert - 0. Bowen SPANISH FORK Considering that operations of the past legislative session were conducted in a divided house, Sen. Robert O. Bowen, County, believes it was remarkably productive in both quanitity and quality. He pointed to the three significant tax cuts as an example of how well the two houses worked together. Senator Bowen said that how good the legislature was depended on who was looking. Classroom teachers with 40 students must think the session was productive because $3 million was appropriated to reduce class loads. School superintendents will have appreciated Senate Bill 139 which helps solve building problems. The Senator said he felt the bill would become landmark legislation in the field of capital outlay because of the formula for equalization of local and state participation in building programs. He said that city councilmen, mayors, and city attorneys will likely appreciate Senate Bill 204 Municipal Code Revision. A voluminous bill, it brings together a major portion of law relating to cities and towns. One of most humane and just bills was the one that at present affects Norma Thomas and Jerry Hulbert. But, he said, Senate Bill 247 is likely to help others down the line. The Senator said he felt the effectiveness of a legislative session can often be measured in what does not happen. He cited the failure of tax increases on beer and cigarettes as an example. The Utah County solon felt that the bill which is likely to have the most positive impact on the entire state had to be Senate Bill 198, innocuously tiled Amendments to Inter-loca- l Cooperations Act. The bill authorizes cities, counties and local taxing units to create a new entity to provide services to public contracting agencies including Other than that, he felt the entire legislature had a agencies. good working relationship. Sen. Bowen explained this was enabling legislation He was particularly disappointed that a bill for for the intermountain power project which, when of He Lake the failed.

It doubles the tax base in the state with about development would prove beneficial to the state literally 80 of those taxes being paid by percent because tourism could increase. "If we could get the average tourist to increase his consumers, he pointed out. "More importantly, all of this translates into 4,000 we could bring an stay in Utah by just additional $30 million annually into the state additional, permanent jobs in our state," he said. Senator Bowen further pointed out that the bill was economy," he stated. He said the state must give a little in order to timely because of the huge coal reserves in the state can now be tapped and used in generating make a lot. Mr. Davis said a bill which would allow free power, thus responding effectively to the present crisis. enterprise principles to be taught in high school energy He added that he was chagrined that the governor curriculums also failed, much to his disappointment. In regard to legislation, which he helped sponsor, a let it become law without his signature. bill exempting police officers from libel in civil rules, passed, as did suits, for infractions of a resolution making Miss Utah the official state hostess. Mr. Davis opposed a raise in the gas tax, because he believes the state highway department needs to "tighten its belt administratively before it Is given more money. He also favored the proposed Increase In cigarette taxes, and an increased beer tax, both of which failed Mr. Davis concluded by stating that he favored putting the Utah Technical Colleges under the cormlete control of the state Board of Regcnta, and In which they was not in favor of the current set-uAll Eyes Are On The are split between the Board of Regents and the Board of Education.

'E.lh'J..nF,.m .i.jjjji.iiiu.mi - In his FAIRVIEW Ray Nielsen, fifth year as a Utah Legislator, said recently that he felt tnis was the best session he has attended. "We were better organized, we passed more good bills and we turned down more bad bills," said the representative whose district covers Sanpete and part of Utah Counties. He described the session as not being very exciting and said that Just because there were no greast controversial or colorful happenings doesn't mean there wasn't some good, solid work accomplished. He felt particularly that Senate bill 198, which paves the way for construction of the Intermountaln rower plant in Kanevllle (near Hanksville), was one of the most significant accomplishments of the legislature . He also felt the tax reduction efforts were good ungs for the people. My only regret Is that we failed to raise the tax on gasoline, he commented He said it was the third year In a row that the added one cent gasoline tax had been passed over. Since the funds would be directed to highway maintenance, he felt ionic thing would have to be done soon. jui hp immiii '"rr i " Kay Robert Frank Anderson Jr River, Wyo ., and Claire Ellen Rich. 19, American Fork, March 3: Richie Howard Smith. 22 Ganado.

Members of Springville city council one-acr- e have expressed criticism of the countv's considering a zone which would allow sale of e lots for At their last tanks. with building septic council meeting, councilmen pointed out that cities of the county are being pressured to spend $18 milion to meet the state's 1980 standards for sewage effluent, while at the same time the county is considering this proposal which would allow a proliferation of septic tanks. Under the regulations controlling the standard of effluent for the cities, the state could cut off grants to any city one-acr- which does not meet the What up to Ironton is on the same underground water table." Wells Ruling Cited He said the state engineer now allows any person who owns land in the county to apply for a well permit to furnish water to his property for domestic and stock watering purposes at the rate of .25 second feet of water per well, or 112 gallons of water per 1980 minute. Logic Questioned "If only 1000 lots were built on and wells were drilled, this would mean 11,250 gallons of water per minute would be drawn from the underground water table," Mr. Clyde asserted. Mr. Clyde emphasized that In some western states, the underground reservoir of water has been depleted. He also declared that drilling numerous small wells constitutes an inefficient use of water. "We would be far better off to dig a good big well and have a water distribution system," he said. Councilman Baxter raised the question of who was to control how much water a man used out of his own well, and who would protect the prior rights of those cities which have built up around that water table. Conditions Reported City councilmen agreed that they would not object to development of the area in question if It were in a sewage district, had a controlled water system and a tax base which would cover facilities needed by a possible future population of 24,000 people. Double taxation is a problem in Salt Lake County, and Springville's councilmen have added their voices to the voices of those who are objecting . City Councilman Calvin Baxter questioned the logic of Springville's spending an estimated $8,887,000 to pump its effluent to Provo for treatment if the county approves the zone proposed which would allow multiple septic tanks right on the city's borders. Councilman Baxter said the city does not object to upgrading its sewage treatment facilities, but pointed out that the underground drainage would carry water from the septic tanks eventually into Utah Lake. The RR-zone is an entirely new zone, and would allow the property e owners to start with plots. Under the regulations covering subdivision of land in the zone, it would be possible for a property owner to break his property down into quarter-acr- e pieces by filing a subdivision plat with the county, it was pointed out. Questioned about the zone, Buck Rose of the Utah County planning staff, pointed out that the basic requirements are the same as those of the 1 1 zone, which allows lots. This zone, however, allows e property owners to build on lots once the over-al- l plan of streets and dranage in the area is approved. re one-acr- rlEY tiii GLOTffiKKS. ii i 261 NORTH UNIVERSITY AVENUE Open daily of Human Ecology at Cornell says a little light suitably directed indoors provides greater clarity than a lot that is not the proposal means to Springville City was explained by Norman Clyde, chairman of the Springville planning commission.
