Levan has new welcome signTown has a new sign at Levan the communitys north entrance. The wooden logo on the sign was created by Dale Rosquist, and Eric Hunt designed and painted the rest of the sign. The sign has a map of the town, welcomes visitors, and is very attractive, said Levan mayor Connie Dubinsky. fines and forfeitures category was up again this year, said Denton Alexander, another employee of the firm. In the drug arrests made by the highway patrol on Interstate 15, half of the forfeitures and fines goes to the state and the other half goes to the county, said Don Eyre Jr., county attorney. Part of the reason for the increase, said Alexander, is that The county the system is well-rufollows through on the forfeitures, and fines were paid because those over their collection stay on top of the paperwork. Total revenue for the county was up about $500,000, said Alexander. In addition, property tax collections were good in Juab County, he said. In the county offices, department heads are doing good work, said Alexander. A deficit was projected for the county, but did not come to pass becausedepartment heads were careful with funds. People spend what they need but no more than they need, said Alexander. In many federal agencies, the .officials get to the end of the year and have some money left, so they spend it. They are afraid, if it is not all gone, they will not get that much money in the budget again, said Cloward. This isnt the case in Juab County, said Alexander.
