Show Cost 'Tooele, Utah, Friday, January 6, 1978 Volume Eighty Two Two City Councilmen, Mayor Sworn Into Office Tuesday Tooele's city mayor and two city councilmen took the oath of office Tuesday noon at a brief ceremony in the city hall. City Judge Ralph Millhum administered the oath of office to Colleen Leland Beckstrom and Mayor e, Douglas V. Sagers. MRS. DE LA MARE will be serving her first term as a member of the city council after a successful bid for the post in last Noveinliers election. Beckstrom and Sagers have previously served four year terms as city officials. The three officials feel that growth in the community will lie a major con- cern during the upcoming four years. I WOULD like to see Tooele remain small, Sagers said, but, I dont think we can stop it from growing. Sagers said he felt his biggest duty as the citys mayor would be to prepare for growth. We need to prepare for future growth, so when it does come, we will have enough resources to take care of our needs," Sagers said. BECKSTROM SAID, I would like to see some industry come into the area, and I favor the building of the propos- ed industrial park. Beckstrom pointed out that he would favor only small scale industry coming into the area. We should make sure that the right kind of industry comes into the city, not just any kind, he said. MRS. DE LA MARE agreed with Sagers and Beckstrom and said, The city will either progress or digress, and the industrial park should be given more thought before definite plans are made. I think it would be imperative that Tooele citizens attend the meeting when Nathan Mazer explains the study of results of the industrial park," she said. Mazer is an industrial development specialist with Terracor who has been hired by Tooele County and City gov- ernments to spearhead the development of a local industrial park. IN CONNECTION with anticioffid pated growth, the cials feel that lack of water resources may plaque local citizens. Our plan is to employ a consultant firm that will make a study of what our newly-electe- cated liehind Tooeles downtown THE day session working days, or less, to allocate over one billion dollars of State spending and Tooele County legislators face a heavy work schedule with just one hour each day, at the beginning of the session, scheduled for debate.

Outreach Drive Launched By Senior Citizens County-Wid- e Tooele County Senior Citizens will launch a drive to contact senior citizens who are not presently aware of the local program. Senior Citizens Director Butch said that the Outreach proDymock gram is being used to locate senior in Tooele County and discover their needs. WE NEED to know the needs of senior citizens in the various communities so we can offer them services that we are not presently providing, Dymock said. This program will also show the local residents of the county what services are now available and encourage them to take advantage of them, he said. Members of the Dymock said, committee will be contacting people basis in the county on a and will distribute the survey. He also added, We hope people in the county will accept us, and understand that they are under no obligation to answer all of the questions on the survey. They only need to answer those that pertain to them. DYMOCK pointed out that the information from the survey would be kept confidential. Although completion of the countywide survey is expected to take a year, or possibly longer, Dymock said that after some results are received, action will be taken. The Outreach program is headed four member committee that cona by sists of Harold Barlow, Marie Bell, Betty Didericksen and Dorothy Searle. DYMOCK SAID that information for the program will be gathered in survey form by members of the committee. We will start making references and initiating new programs as soon as we find the needs of those who we are not presently reaching. We will not wait until all the surveys have been taken before expanding the Senior Citizens program, Dymock said. door-to-do- 'J. v H' S? . A which is directly involved in the budgetary process. Tooele County taxpayers can expect increased taxes with the proposed 2 cent per gallon gasoline tax being proposed by the governor. The $17 million expected to be raised through an increased gasoline tax is needed to repair and maintain the state highway road system. The governor also wants to double the automobile registration fees to provide additional funds to repair and maintain Class B and C roads. If this proposal is made into law, registration fees will increase from $5 to $10. GOV. SCOTT Matheson feels that the state tax on utilities can be repealed which will result in a savings of one and a half million dollars to Utah taxpayers. n A bonding program to meet state building needs will be pioposed by the Governor. Legislators met Jan. 2 at the State Capitol to hear the Utah State Building boards recommendations as to where the money needs to be spent. The per hour speed limit which hasnt been approved by the State Legislature has generated a great deal of interest and is expected to be one item that is almost assured of consideration. THE PROPOSED bonding program would provide substantial sums for use in developing Utahs water resources. State money is needed, Gov. Matheson stated, because he feels the Federal Government will no longer finance water resources development in the State. Development of the south shore of the Great Salt Lake has the Governors support along with further development of State recreation areas. 55-nn- le non-budg- Legislators are looking to some system of increasing legislative days to meet the need of increasing pressure for new legislation. Any extension of the present Utah legislators session will require voters to approve a constitutional amendment. MR. AND Mrs. Thomas Hosack are the proud parents of Miss Tooele County 1978. She has been given the name of Heather Colleen. Heather tipped the scales at a healthy 8 pounds, five ounces and measured 20 inches long.
