Commissioner Jim Garrett said the only way he would go along with the raise is to make sure that other county employees, too, received raises as soon as possible. There is a possibility that the county will not have to make a Medicare .'payment . for the hospital this year. and if that is the case, Garrett suggested using that money for raises.' He also said that the road department employees should not be eligible for another raise at the end of the year. The ' other commissioners agreed with Garrett, and with those provisions, unanimously passed the motion to raise road department salaries. The commissioners also decided that employees working for the road crew part of the year would be paid $1250 per month, as would new employees during their first year. After one year, the salary would go to $1350 per month, and after two years, the wage would be the same as paid to other employees.

The plants were constructed last year using money from a $650,000 bond. One operates on water from Pigeon Creek, and the other operates on culinary water from the Cobble Rock spring. The Pigeon Creek hydroelectric plant has an automatic If it's OK We may get theater! George Paxman talked to the Juab County Commission Monday about putting a theater in the county center auditorium. The Nephi man had talked to the commission about the proposal several years ago, but, backed out because he could not find projection equipment at a reasonable price. Since then, said Paxman, some used projection equipment has come on the market that would make the plan feasible. If given the county OK, Paxman would build a projection booth and concession stand at the back of the auditorium. He also would put in a large screen at the front of the room, although it presently has a screen on the small, roll-u- p auditorium stage that could be used in a pinch, said Paxman. In return for letting him use the auditorium, Paxman would give the county a percentage of the receipts. The commissioners generally were receptive to the idea, but were worried about whether the state fire marshal would OK the plan, especially since some of violence seminar The Levan LDS Ward Relief Sodety is planning a conference on the evils of family violence for Sunday, March 13. The seminar will be held at the ward church beginning at 7 p.m. Speakers at the conference will be Bryce Schofield of the Utah Division of Social Services, Juab County Sheriff Dave Carter, Karen Kenison, and Darrell Kenison. The public is invited to f Paxman was asked to contact the state fire marshals office to have the auditorium checked out for theater use. If he and the fire marshal can work out 'a plan, the county commissioners said they would go along with it. Commissioner Richard M. Brough also said Nephis task force on Nephi is interested in using the auditorium for conventions, but thought the two uses would be complementary. Levan Town presently is studying the idea of building a new community center. The new building is necessary, says Levan Mayor Golden R. Mangelson, because the present town hall is falling apart. Contractors have looked at the old Wright also will attend the convention, but not Dean Shaw, district business officer. The change in plans comes as a result of the findings of a survey distributed by Thi Times-New- s and local parent-advisor- y groups March 2. The majority of the surveys y collected by the local members by March 4 indicated that only selected members of the board should represent the district at the convention. The board has not yet determined which of its members will make the trip. parent-advisor- gram to its power system. Under the plan, a device in the system senses when the electrical load is about to go above a level, and then shuts off electric devices to lower the load. Levan proposes to use coaxial cable to connect residential water heaters, residential heating, and industrial loads such as motors and irrigation pumps to the system. Since the power rate at which Levan buys power is determined by the peak power usage, anything that can be done to lower that peak will save the town money year around. The system was made possible by a $30,000 grant from the Western Area Power Administration, which is interested in how might work with the hydroelectric systems. load-sheddi- Appointments; business trip,, licenses City council news At their recent meeting, the Nephi City Council: Appointed Tony Ferguson to be the lead lineman in the electric department.

In turn, we get in adding a pro- building and have determined that something must be done if Levan is to have a town hall. The proposed building will house town offices and a room about the size of the general meeting room in the old town hall, says Mangelson. The allpurpose room could be used by the community for family reunions, banquets, wedding receptions, civic clubs, wrestling matches, dance classes, exercise classes, and other activities. A fire station also would be attached to the building. The community center would be built with a $100,000 loan from the Community Impact Board. Payments on the loan would be $601 per month, and would come from money saved by the towns hydroelectric and programs, says Mangelson. "It building the community center will not raise or impact taxes, and rates would not go up in any department, says Mangelson. The community already has obtained a $150,000 grant from the impact board to help with the construction o. the community center.
