Herald Correspondent - In a AMERICAN FORK session special Monday, the American Fork City Council voted 2 to issue a call for bids from various insurance brokers. The council had set the meeting to get views from city employees on how they felt about selecting a different broker. Mayor Kay Hutchings said he had met Friday with employees at the public works complex on the matter. "I thought this was where they were going to tell us their feelings about it," Councilman Kent Walker said. Hutchings told him it was all right "for me to speak with them thereabout it."

"I'd sure like to see the guy who would give $30,000 for that," said O'Bryant. "It was a rejected piece of work left at the business so it's probably only worth $29,000," he joked.

I was born here. I believe in American Fork. Give me a chance." Hutchings pointed out that three GMI employees live in American Fork and pay city taxes. He stressed that factor should be considered.

"(The sheep) have no place to run or hide." Behling believes that household pet type dogs are attacking the sheek. Officials believe people would rather drive out to the area and drop their pets off instead of having the animal put to sleep. "If we could trace these dogs back and find out who they belong to there could be an awful large settlement," said Behling. The latest incident occurred a week ago at a Benjamin sheep ranch in which dogs killed or maimed 16 sheep. The ranch owner, Lance Ludlow, said all are expected to die bringing the total of animals killed since July 24 to 250. "It's a bad situation," he said: "There will be trouble between the dog (owners) and sheep owners (if ' they re able to trace them) All of the incidents have ocmile curred inside a radius centered at the main crossroads through Benjamin. Ludlow believes it is 4 dogs roaming around in a pack. No one is sure where the dogs call home. Murdock said there still is no solid evidence it is dogs doing the killing. "The problem is no one has really seen the offending animal," said Murdock. "There is no description." As a result, citations are being "I'm sure it's dogs," said Lud- issued to owners of every animal low. "They come during the night not secured on property. Owners at all different times.
