Utah County filed suit against Orem. Payson and Pleasant Grove five years ago, when the cities refused to pay the cost of housing their city prisoners in the county jail. A second lawsuit named most of the other cities in the county. Utah County won the first case in the Fourth District Court, and the cities then filed a Supreme Court appeal. The second case is on hold, pending the Supreme Court decision. Papers were filed by the Utah Association of Counties and Salt Lake City, to get a final ruling on where the financial responsibilities lie. Deputy Utah County Attorney Guy Burningham said oral arguments are scheduled before the Supreme Court in November. County Commissioner Gary Anderson, chairman of COG, told city representatives Wednesday night the commissioners are "very close" to solving the problem. "We'd like to do it before the Supreme Court takes it out of our hands," Anderson stated. Bryce McEuen, Orem city attorney, said some sort of decision must be made on how much is owed by each city. Mayor Squire recommended Utah County impose a mill levy to pay all jail costs. He said some smaller cities could have their budgets wrecked by putting two or three city prisoners in the jail for few months. sentence. We need to try and "It costs $4,400 for a work out some kind of arrangement with the county," he said. Anderson pointed out that Provo is critical to the issue. He recommended cities work out in good faith what they owe, then make a proposal to the county." Squire said he had commitments froi 12 cities. Springville has kept its payments current. "We need to be united when we go to talk with the county commission," he told the mayors. County Commissioner Jeril B. Wilson said it would be necessary to talk to the county attorneys about their underlying concerns. . ' rr M yII I I XaxmnJ six-mon- WWb'S ?

CAPE CANAVERAL, Shuttle astronaut Kathy (UPI) Sullivan left the safety of Challenger's cabin today, making the first spacewalk by an American woman in two decades of astronaut excursions in the vacuum of space. "That is really grea.," Sullivan said when she and astronaut David Leestma floated from Challenger's airlock at 9:46 a.m. MDT to begin a 3 Vi hour spacewalk to show how satellites can be refueled in the weightlessness of orbit. Leestma was first out, waving at television cameras in the cargo bay as the shuttle sailed silently along, 137 miles above the south Atlantic Ocean at 17,500 mph. Sullivan followed four minutes later and both astronauts, attached to safety lines, moved to the work station on the side of the ship's open cargo bay. The job of Sullivan and Leestma was to connect a hoselike tool between two tanks at the rear of the payioad bay - i - v) , , 7 1 JT VvfJ Loves If Rabies Test Claims Another Raccoon III 1 1 1 ft By PATRICK G.

A public meeting concerning location of a Timpanogos Mental Health diagnostic unit in the Building on South State, Car-twrig- School, County Commissioners promised Wednesday. Jay Johnson, representing a citizen's committee formed to oppose the diagnostic unit, said the group opposes it because it is located directly adjacent to an elementary school, and because southeast Provo already has a high concentration of centers dealing with such problems. "What are the alternatives? What other areas have you considered?" he asked. He said neighbors feared 60 outpatients treated there may be dangerous to elementary children. "Provost handles children from kindergarten to sixth grade, and children of this age are generally not capable of making decisions where mental health and sex contacts are concerned. They play on the school grounds and wander in the area. The mental health center is between the school and a store which is a drawing card for the children," he said. Commissioner Gary Anderson said no attempt had been made to hide anything in accepting the diagnostic unit as a tenant in the building being remodeled for the Health Department. 7-- City-Coun- ty "The main purpose is the Health Department, and nobody (See CARTWRIGHT, Page 3) Provo School District Joins Sex Abuse Task Force By VICKI BARKER Herald Staff Writer The Provo School District is the area district to join a newly established Central Utah Interagency Task Force on Sexual Abuse. A 1983-8- 4 report from the district Social Services office given to the school board this week noted 42 cases of sexual abuse only and incest were reported to teachers by students. The figure include 23 reports high schools, and two from the high schools. Of 23 stories of incest, 15 were reported by elementary school students, six at the junior high schools, and two at the high schools. The report noted that figures on sexual abuse and incest may seem high, but the Social Services Office believes detection is not reaching all children in need. The report notes recent estimates of the Utah Department of Health that one in 10 boys is sexually molested and one in four females is a victim before age 18. Mire noted that having one of the district's social workers, Mar-ja- n Martin, on the recently-forme- d y task force on sexual abuse is a positive development. The task force is sponsored by the Utah County Attorney's Office and includes police officers, attorneys and crisis workers. Martin is the only member of the interagency task force on sexual abuse representing a school district, Mire says. inter-agenc- ol Padres Even World Series The San Diego Padres used a three-ru- n homer by Kurt Bevac-qu- a Wednesday night to rally the San Diego Padres to a 3 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
