Power sales to the Utah cities are eligible for an 11 percent tax exemption. IPA contends the exemption is due because the sale is to the cities. Opponents contend the exemption should not be granted because it is being passed on to users, conineligible trary to legislative intent. "We need to look at the definition of 'sale'," Tax Commission Chairman R.H. Hansen said. Tax Commissioner Roger Tew said the question was whether "sale" was determined by "ultimate use" or "ownership." While supporting settlement "as soon as possible," Interim State Superintendent of Public Instruction Scott Bean said he opposes action that would deny IPA tax money to the Uniform School Fund. Twenty-thre- e te Be said the state schools are funded through income taxes, corporate franchise taxes, and funds that "recapture" money come from areas where property taxes are higher than needed for the number of local students. That money is redistributed to ' poorer districts. lowest Utah has the expenditure of any state in the nation. "It is critical that we receive as much as possible from these sources," he said. Bean said extending the exemption to IPA "will cost Utah public school children from $2 million to $3 million per year." Dale Hatch, director of the Office of Planning and Budget, said he did not believe the commission had authority to adopt the rule as written, "because it violated both constitutional and statutory law." Hatch said Utah municipalities and IPA would not benefit from the exemption. per-stude- nt Second rape charge dismissed A second rape charge has been dismissed against a man acquitted on a similar charge last month.

Jefferson Angelo Freeman, from Southern Utah and now living at 13585 S. Highway 6, Santaquin, faces the charge in 4th Circuit Court stemming from a June 26 incident Freeman was reportedly working on the streets for the city of Santaquin and approached a home to get a drink of water. A girl, who was an aquaintance of Freeman's was at the home, said Officer Clay Jensen of the Santaquin Police Department. The juvenile was reportedly then raped by Freeman.

Lees is one of three charged in what investigators say is a computer fraud scheme that bilked dozens of financial institutions of several hundred thousand dollars. Randy S. Yagi, 32, of Salt lake City, and Lora Davis, 28, Provo, also face charges in the matter. A preliminary hearing will be scheduled in Orem's 4th Circuit Court for James E.

The second-degre- e felony carries a possible sentence of one to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. charged as an adult was reported to the police by the victim's mother, said Jensen. According to Sterling B. Salisbury, deputy county attorney over juvenile cases, if the defendant is over the age of 16 and the offense is a felony or a capital offense, the county attorney can directly file in court without going through a hearing to have the youth certified as an adult The law allows for the defendant's attorney to file a notice asking the juvenile court to recall jurisdiction. Freeman's case has been handed over to the public defender's office and attorney John Musselman said his office would be filing such a notice. He said the matter was sent to first-degr- his office Monday and he is, at this point, unsure where the case stands. The recall notice must be filed in the next couple of days to meet the requirement. If the juvenile court judge denies the request to handle the matter there, Freeman will be treated in the adult system just as any other adult, Sainsbury said. First, though, the juvenile judge must consider the child's age,- - prior record and seriousness of the offense. Sainsbury said he could not release any information about the youth, since juvenile records are not public, but said Freeman "has been in the system a long time. We feel like the adult system is the best system for him right now." 10-da-y Highland stops building construction By ANNLEJGH MCMANIS Herald Correspondent HIGHLAND City Council halted construction on the Highland city building last week. Jay Haws, Highland director of operations, was directed by the council to tell Hakell Construction to stop all construction until the building is brought up to specifications listed in the contract. - Steve Draper, councilman, has visited the construction site and said he noticed several infractions on the part of Haskells. Draper noted that no sanitary facilities are available to workers on the site. These are required in the contract. Also, a construction office is supposed to be located on the site so the city can readily contact the contractor. No such site has been created, nor is their a project superintendent always on the project site. Draper said that whenever construction is occurring a project Snow College receives grant Snow College has been awarded a $4,000 grant from the US West Family of Companies Council to continue and expand an intervention tutoring project on campus. The project was originally funded last year by US West to help "at risk" students succeed in their college experiences. According to project coordinator Mat Barreiro, during the first year of the program, more than 230 students were served by the program. The program provides for a stu- dent development specialist who, early in the quarter, actively seeks out students who are not attending class or who are having difficulty in the courses. The specialist then directs the students to the help they need, such as tutoring, study groups, or academic counseling. The new grant will allow for the hiring of additional personnel to teach study skills and time management along with developmental skills. superintendent should be on the site. Along with other infractions Draper said the city has a right as owner of the building to stop construction. "These deficiencies are serious," said Draper. Jay Haws, director of operations, was directed by Mayor James Hewlett to get in immediate contact with Vera Hancock, the architect for the project, and meet with him as soon as possible. Haws said he has tried to contact Hancock on several occasions, but has had a difficult time finding him at home. Six homes that were previously excluded from the sewer project for the Special Improvement District in Highland were voted to be included by the city council. These homes were in the original design for the project but not in the final description. At the June 27 council meeting the homes were voted to be excluded. Ken Monson, councilman, AF library motioned that this exclusion be rescinded. The motion was unanimously approved. According to Hewlett of these homes are experiencing some sort of septic tank problems and wish to be included. Hewlett said the homes have already been surveyed to be included in the project. A hearing is scheduled to take place at the Department of Natural Resource building where the state water pollution control committee will vote whether additional state loan funds can be acquired to include the homes. Contractor Charles LeBaron is responsible for the project that includes the homes in question.
