Group protests Blanding zoning provisions Objections to some provis- ions of the new Blanding zoning ordinance were expressed by a large group of citizens at the regular meeting of Blanding city council on Wednesday night of last week. Spokesman for the group, Linda Shumway, said they were concerned particularly about rights of residential ownin ers commercial areas and of a too much area that residential nature was being included in the commercial zone. She said the group felt that the precluding of a further residential development in the commercial zone was not in the best interests of the property the owners. Mayor De L. Gibbons expressed to those present the appreciation of the city for their interest and told them the council would give the mat- ter further consideration, fol- established required procedure of first being heard lowing by the building inspector and the planning commission, from which a recommendation would have to be received by the council. Another group of citizens, represented by Mrs. Elaine Montella, discussed with the council problems in the pickup of trash and garbage. The groups principal complaint was in what they called careless handling of trash containers. Councilman Bruce N. Black was to bring the matter to the attention of the waste collection personnel. In other business, the council said the city should be represented at a scheduled hearing before the Utah Public Service Commission on Monday of this week, petitioned by Utah Power and Light Com-pato consider proposed construction of steam electric generating plants in Emery na County and the availability, terms and conditions of power availability, terms and conditions of power sales to its resale customers. Mayor Gibbons, corder Francis City Re- D. Nielson and council members as available planned to attend the hearing. Councilman Francis Lyman requested the council to consider participation with other, jurisdictions in offering a reward for the apprehension of the person or persons responsible for recent vandalism at Blanding Elementary School. The council indicated a desire to cooperate in the matter at such time as investigating authorities agree that such would be beneficial. The recorder presented a parking proposal from San Juan High School for the 100 East Street area between the school and the Zenos L. Black Career center. Essentially, the proposal would allow parking in the entire street excepting the crosswalk and driveway areas. Bus loading is no longer to be done in the street and an area at the rear of the junior high school has been re- served for this purpose. The council voted that the parking proposal be approved and that the city purchase paint and signs to mark the required areas consistent with the proposal. , Beer issue to voters Voters in the Montezuma Creek, Aneth and Red Mesa areas will have the opportunity this November on whether or not they want to have beer sold in the area. Members of the San Juan County commission at their regular meeting on Monday of this week voted to have the beer issue placed on a ballot November 13, which is the first Monday after the November 7 election. Members of the commission said they would be guided by the voters wishes in making a final decision as to whether or not beer will be sold in the area. Pending determination of the issue, the commission said a temporary and conditional renewal of a beer license will be issued to Joan Moyle. Commissioners said that in the event of a majority decision against the licensing of beer in the area, all beer licenses will be revoked and fees prorated and refunded as applicto vote able. The commissions action was the outgrowth of an incident the night of September G at Montezuma Creek, when action by a group of more than 100 Nava jos protesting the sale of beer in the vicinity of the Navajo reservation resulted in a confrontation with peace officers and the destruction of some 40 cases of beer they had removed from the Montezuma Creek Trading Post. The protestors agreed to allow vendors to remove lar- ger quantities of beer from their premises, San Juan County Sheriff Rigby Wright said at the time. The sheriff also said that some Navajos had expressed' concern to him about beer being sold at the trading post because nearby Whitehorse School had recently High opened. In other business at Mo- ndays meeting, the commission canvassed the results of the September 12 primary election and set the official vote count in the Democratic contest for county attorney as follows: Bruce Halliday, 1182 Bennion Redd, 694 The commissioners Monday also accepted bids for four pickup trucks from Redds of Monticello at $5,601 each. Two pickups with additional gasoline tanks will be an additional $127 per unit. Redds was the only bidder.
