And so, sympathies for local grocers were held in check and the giant food chain was granted its request. Richard Barton, operations manager for Allens Food Farm, spoke to the council before the vote, explaining his point of view that the council would be giving Safeway an unfair advantage over local businessmen who have struggled in town for many years. This is because the money received from the sale of revenue bonds carries a price about 5 percent lower than conventional financing. Councilman May didnt see any inequity, however. He said that the council would be equally willing to authorize bond financing for Allens. But Barton explained that only big companies can qualify for bonding. Bonds for small chains like Allens would never sell, he said. Barton said that the main problem with this method of financing the construction of large stores is that government is involved in I business matters. He said, wish we didnt have a law that city government can make decisions on a free enterprise situation. Johnsons figures, of $155,000.

Steve Kay said the subdivision would be located between Second and Third North, and between Main Street and First West. The land available at the site, however, is not sufficient to proacre lots for each vide one-hahome. Mona building statutes require at least a half an acre for adequate septic tank drainage. It was suggested to Kay that he try to acquire additional land to meet the lot size requirement. He also requested that officials condem land located between Second North and Third North at First West to allow the placement of an access road to the proposed subdivision. The board decided it would be best to wait until pending litigation concerning that land is completed, and then they would consider the request. The board unanimously decided that Mayor Bryce Lynn and Town Clerk Craig Sperry sign an agreement with the Mona Irriga-- , tion Company on behalf of the city. This was accomplished, and marks the first time that a written agreement designating water rights between the two organizations has been formalized.

' Mrs. Wright discussed several larger projects which the city cleanup did not allow time to com- plete, and the board asked her to make a list of them with an eye to holding a second cleanup day that would use more men and heavy equipment.
