The traps will be placed in areas where citizens protest such dog disturbances. Animals so apprehended will be placed in the dog pound. Licensed animals apprehended will be held for three days and then destroyed. Owners of licensed dogs may retrieve them within the three day period by paying a $5 impound fee plus $1 a day for the time the dog has been in the pound. Unlicensed dogs will be destroyed without holding for the three day limit. City ordinances have prohibited any dogs from running loose at night but apprehension of such animals has proved a problem. City officials hope the new traps will alleviate this problem. City Police Chief Earl Pehrson is here shown Record Photo setting the first of the new traps.

Must pool counties for poverty aid ! A discussion and explanation of steps necessary to participate in the federal governments poverty programs was outlined by the San Juan County Commissioners at their regular meeting Monday. Reporting on meetings with state and federal authorities conducted while they were in Salt Lake last week for the convention of county officials, Chairman Ken Summers said new requirements of the federal legislation required at least a 40,000 population for participation in the poverty programs. To meet this requirement, he said, the counties of San Juan, Grand, Emery and Carbon would have to be grouped as a single unit with a combined committee from the four counties acting as the approval agency. In addition, each couna committee and ty must have formed to handle a corporation the poverty program arrangements. A meeting was called for Wednesday evening, at which federal officials were to explain the program in full. Commissioners invited representatives from throughout the county to ascertain public opinion as to whether the county should pursue the steps necessary to become eligible for the various programs. SEEK BEER LICENSE' Commissioners were informed by County Clerk Ada Palmer that Canyon Tours, Inc., Page, Ariz., had requested information regarding requirements for a beer license for the firms marine store at the marina in Aztec Canyon near Rainbow Bridge National Monument. Mrs. Palmer said she had sent the required information and asked that the firm have a representative appear before the commissioners when application is made. Lester Crane, owner of the trucking company by the same name, asked the commission to consider road improvements on the Red Canyon road between Red House and the Marky mine. Mr. Crane said his firm planned to begin trucking ore by Feb. 1 but the road was so washed out that it would be impossible without improvement. The commission agreed that the matter should be conMr. sidered and informed Crane that the road foreman would be contacted. HALLS ROAD In a letter from Calvin Black, Blanding, representing Lake Powell Ferry Service, the commission was asked to consider more improvement on the Halls Crossing access road to Lake Powell. Specifically sought was improvement of the section of road from Red House to the bottom of Clay Hills pass. Commissioners said were informed in Salt they Lake that only some $55,000 would be available from federal aid matching funds fop the proposed project for which the county has $125,000 in a road fund. capital improvements The county had proposed to improve the Halls Road from the intersection of Highway 95 to Clay Hills Pass but with such a small amount of matching funds available, very little work could be done.

Moss said Monday that the National Park Service plans to spend $1,152,000 at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area during the fiscal year which begins July 1, 1966. Of this amount. $230,400 has been requested in the budget for a landing strip at Bullfrog Basin. Other funds will be issued in Utah and Arizona to continue work on recreation facilities on Lake Powell Sen. Moss said. If further information shows that these amounts are not sufficient to rapidly speed development at Lake Powell, I will seek additional funds in testimony before House and Senate committee meetings on appropriation for the coming Chamber of Commerce in 1966 Mon-ticell- o year, Gene Etherington will continue as President of the Chamber of Commerce for the next year, Bert Al- ward will be vice president, and Phil Palmer will continue as secretary. The new officers were elected at the first meeting of the 1966 Board of Directors of the chamber at the Lariat following the regular Tuesday noon chamber meetMon-ticell- ing. Sam Halls, and Bert Alward. The Board of Directors will hold an organizational meeting o Newly elected directors are Robert E. Anderson, Bert Warren, and Dale Holmes. Holdover directors from last year are Gene Etherington, ' late this afternoon at the Lariat. At the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the election of the new members of the Board of Directors was announced, following the recent ballot. The members gave a vote of thanks to the outgoing directors and officers. A financial report by Eddie Boyle revealed that the treasury has a balance of $171.81 and that all bills are paid. Sen. Moss said. . other areas in the state that have requested matching funds will not themselves have funds, so the county may yet receive more than the $55,000. Jack Jewel, principal of the Aneth Indian boarding school, thanked the county in a letter to the commission and praised the work of Sam Parry and the Bookmobile. Mr. Jewel said the services of the Bookmobile were invaluable to the school in providing badly needed reading materials.
