Lets not hide our head in the sand. We already enjoy the revenue from liquor, he concluded. John Lewis, Monticello LDS bishop and farmer, said he was surprised that the issue was brought up again since it had been defeated by the people once before. He advocated that if business is so good without Sunday beer, why worry about it. He said he had known some high calmen who reiber spected Utah for its stand on liquor. He said he was strongly opposed to beer on Sunday. Bob Nieves, operator of the Mexican Hat Lounge, and also an applicant for permission to sell beer on Sunday, said the request was for package sales only. As far as the Indian problem, he asserted that all over the reservation bootleg liquor was already available. He said he had the closest bar to the reservation yet had never in his operation had need for the Navajo police. J , HOTEL UTAH reto the Referring again Mr. Black ligious protests, pointed out that Hotel Utah was owned and operated by directors who were on the Council of Twelve of the LDS Church. The hotel sells setups and does not turn away drink ing patrons, he said. He also cited the Union Pacific Railroad, a firm in which the LDS church holds considerable interest. The UP serves liquor. He therefore said he did not believe it was a church- issue. From 75 to 90 per cent of the people who come to Halls Mr. Crossing drink beer, Black estimated. He also pointed to the fact that 90 per cent of the travel editors who visited the county recently were beer drinkers and advocated that just because we do not believe in what someone else does, we must nevertheless respect their attitudes. LAW PROBLEM Sheriff Ray Cahoon said in his 40 years of law enforcement that 90 per cent of his troubles had stemmed from liquor. He said that some 90 per cent of the accidents in the county are caused by drinking and urged that the commission hold the line on issuance of licenses and permits. not non-LD- S '(i. - Utah leads .v. erator, believed that this situation was present already. He cited a case just two weeks ago where an Indian had been At Wahweap there were 3,062 boats launched while 603 were launched at Halls Crossing. The Hite Marina, also in San Juan County, registered 2,930 visitors and launched 547 boats. There were 1,867 fishermen at Halls Crossing and 1,500 at Hite. Overnight lakeshore visitors numbered 875 at Halls and 900 at Hite. Agrand total for the year so far indicates that 6,542 people ATTENDS GRADUATION have visited the lake.

This compares with a voting percentage of 66.2 per cent of the eight Mountain States, 66 per cent for the 11 Western States and 62 per cent for the nation as a whole.

Attend graduation of son at U of U Mr.-anMrs. Leonard Webb were in Salt Lake over the weekend to attend the graduation of Leonards son Leon, and to visit relatives. Leon received his masters degree from the University of Utah and plans to move to Mesquite, Nev. where he will teach chemistry and mathematics. Monticello Mayor Kenneth Bailey and Blanding Mayor Calvin Black appeared before the San Juan County Commision Monday to request that both cities be included in the master planning effort u hich the county is anticipating with assistance of a federal grant. An application for the grant has been made by the county and both mayors indicated they felt that any master plan could not be complete unless the cities were included. Mayor Black told the commission that since over the half the county's population is within the two cities and the city residents pay identical taxes as everyone else in the county, it was, he felt, proper for the county to include the cities in the plan so that the city residents might benefit as well as those outside the cities. Both mayors said it would, be impossible for their cities to dig up the approximate $2,500 needed to match federal matching funds to have their cities included in the planning. The estimated cost per city is $10,000 but a federal grant, if obtained would provide $7,500. Commission Chairman Ken Summers pointed out that no provisions had been made in the budget for inclusion of the cities but the commission that addition of the cities would be desirable. It was decided to further discuss the situation with the professional planners when they meet with the San Juan County Planning Commision on July 8. MORAL To Bob Shriver, Blanding, the issue was also a moral one. He said he felt the issuance of such a permit would take away the significance of a religious day. He advocated pursuit of almighty God instead of the almighty dollar." One however, individual, pointed out to Mr. Shriver that not all religions believe that Sunday Is the religious day of the week. ONE DAV NOT ISSUE Edward S. Boyle, Monticello, pointed out that no other religion condones sin on all days but one. He advocated that it was not possible to be a Christian on only one day and said if the issue must be pursued morally and religiously then it is just as wrong to sell beer six days a week as it is on Sunday. FAVORS RESTRICTION Ken Bailey, Monticello businessman and mayor of the city, said he was for tourist business but was against the premise that the visitor had to be given everything he wants. Standards of the community must be held, he said. Mr. Bailey said he would not therefore favor opening all of San Juan County to Sunday beer sale but that he did favor the Sunday sale at Halls Crossing since the site is far removed from the cities and weekends were the predominant business days at the site. PROBLEMS ANYWAY As for the Indian problem at least one person, Howard Rogers, Monticello motel op Susan Jameson of the Mont-ticell- o Garoen Club was also present Monday to request that the commision authorize the road department to dig a shallow trench on the county- - owned Circle Drive property. The Garden Club is presently in the process of building a park in the area and a ditch is needed to lay water lines. The agreed that such a minor trenching could be accomplished. Also discussed was the situation relative to the understand--in- g concerning the park. The" commission said no lease or' agreement could be executed-Wit- h the Garden Club because? it was not a legal entity but commended the club for its efforts in beautifying the area and vowed that the county had np intention of other use for the property at this time or in the forseeable future. SIGN STATEMENT An assurance statement, affirming tfyat the county would abide by Title 601 of Civil Rights Act and not discrimin-- . ate against any individual because of race, color or national origin was signed by the commision. The statement is a requirement before the county can receive any type of federal . financial assistance. com-mossi- on The San Juan RecordP Monticello, Utah June 17, 1965 Thursday, Page Eight BLANDING Mrs. Dorothy Jones, accompanied by her son Lindsay, attended the graduation ceremony recently of Norman K.
