KLUGH Transferred to Washington Health Gare Children Ready Primary Recruitment Pioneer Day Parade West Tooele Loses Water I Tooele County physicians are interested in receiving input from local residents about what kinds of new physicians should be recruited to the area. lt Recniiting new physicians is a task, says Dr. David Carr. Prior to initiating this process, we would like as much guidance as possible. Health care in Tooele County is currently provided by one general surgeon, six fulltime family practice physicians, one parttime family physician, two physicians each at Tooele Army Depot and Dugway Proving Ground. The area is also served by a nurse midwife, a physicians assistant in Tooele, and one in Wendover. Backhoe Severs dif-ficu- Main Walter Life backhoe broke the main water line from the citys wells, and about one third of Tooele was without water for from two to six hours WedA 16-in- nesday. The break occurred about 2:30 p.m. when a new employee for Dider-ickse- n Construction was digging a trench for the new west sewer trunkline in the vicinity of 5th South and 1000 West. He thought he had hit a rock, and after forcing the shovel several times, the line severed and water shot into the air. MAYOR DOUG Sagers said crews attempted to locate a valve at the intersection of Coleman and 5th South, but it did not coincide with the maps loh cation. The valve from the water tank was immediately shut off and Settlement Canyon Irrigation Company sold the city emergency water to fill the tank. f Sagers said about 10 other valves were shut off in the southwest section of town to prevent any back siphon ing in residents homes. USING METAL detectors, city crews found the valve at Coleman and 5th South. It was located about 15 feet from where the map showed and was three feet underground when we found it, Sagers explained. Sagers said a welder from Tempest Company, who is working on the new city water line system, welded a patch on the broken line and everything was back in order by 8:30 p.m. Sagers said although there was some low water pressure problems in the area, most of the residents had water by 4:30 p.m. after water was obtained from Dr. Carr also said that specialists in ophthalmology, dermatology, and radiology come to Tooele on a part-tim- e basis. A questionnaire for local residents to fill in is found on page ten of this issue of the Transcript. These questionnaires should be brought to or mailed to: David Carr, M.D., Coordinator, Physician Recruitment Effort, 255 South 1st East, Tooele, Utah 84074. Settlement Canyon Irigation Company. City Council To Mull Controversial Franchise Tax The Tooele City Council will discuss the controversial proposed franchise tax July 26 at 7 p.m. in the city hall. By state law cities can tax utility such as Mountain Fuel, companies Mountain Bell, and Utah Power and Light up to seven percent of the custom- ers charge. THE CITY Council approved the new budget in June, with the assumption that the franchise tax would be approved.- However, Councilman John Cluff voted against the budget and says he opposes the franchise tax. Cluff says the franchise tax is an unfair way to tax consumers, and the city should stick with the traditional way of property tax. IF THE city needs more revenue they should raise the mill levy, not tax the utility companies, which in turn have to hit the consumer, Cluff says. day. Rich Furlough, representative for Honeywell, told county commissioners Chick Stromberg and Reed Russell that the companys system, already in use on a limited basis in the county building, had provided a 23 percent savings in gas over 1977s usage and a 7.9 per- n cent savings in electricity. THE LOWER savings in electricity was achieved despite two compressors Xf's i failing in April, 1978. Furlong suggested the county contract for the entire energy management program which would provide the equipment and its installation, maintenance and periodic adjustment as well as replacements for the two compressors. The estimated cost would be nearly $25,000 for the entire year, he said. exCOMMISSIONER Stromberg pressed concern for meeting the Pres- idents guidelines requiring government buildings to set their thermostats for' 78 degrees in the summer. With Flames from a grass fire surround the viaduct north of Tooele Tuesday. Volunteer firemen quickly doused the blaze which also spread along the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. TOOELE COUNTY is Our Heritage, and Chairman Wanda York invites all the primaries of the community to participate in this event. We would also like to extend a special invitation to any other youth organizations in the county, Mrs. York said. The entries will be judged in the following three categories: floats, family or group entries, and individual entries. Cash prizes will be awarded that evening at the park. All entrties are to be at the beginning of the parade route at 5 p.m. for judging, Mrs. York said. FOLLOWING THE parade, game and food booths will be set up at the 882-448- 9, 882-413- 882-471- 4.

The Tooele County livestock committee also presented its case for expanding the showgrounds in Grantsville to include a building to shelter small animal exhibits. THE COMMITTEE was making its request now so that a 60 x 100 foot building could be ready for next years show. No bids have been formally made on the building but estimates range from $27,000 to $33,000, according to Teryl Hunsaker, member of the committee. Jerry Hurst, also of the committee, said the Marvel Brute Company was making a special offer of $14,000 for a steel building, not including foundation and construction. asked Commissioner Stromberg Phil Smart, spokesman for the livestock committee, if his group would consider building a few more structures on the livestock grounds and having the county fair there. SMART BELIEVED his group would have no objection to such a plan, and added that he believed the citizens of Tooele might also go to Grantsville for the county fair since 75 percent of the animals shown at the livestock show belonged to Tooele exhibitors. Nothing was formally decided concerning expanding the livestock grounds, either to include the county fair or not, since the committee only wished to present their request and Commissioner Stromberg only wanted to get input on the idea of combining the county fair and the livestock show. In other business, the commission discussed the vacating of the old Anaconda Road, and a lease on the county airport property requested by Bingle aviation. KEITH STALEY of Security Investment Company objected to the proposed rerouting of the Anaconda road along Droubay Lane as it would eliminate frontage on property his company wants to subdivide. The commissioners pointed out that the plans for the new road include room for left turn lanes and that this should resolve any problems with access the companys property. Bingle Aviation wants to build hangars at the Tooele County airport to be rented to individuals and has asked to lease land at the airport. THE COMMISSIONERS discussed with Joe Urbanik, county planning and zoning administrator, a variety of lease payment plans and felt that charging $5 to $6 per month per unit of land (10 units in all) would be reasonable if Bingle Aviation paid for the asphalting, materials and construction of the hang,o ars. The commissioners also discussed the advantages and alternatives to incorporation for small communities in the county. Under the present arrangement, the county can repair roads in such communities but would not be able to do so if they incorporated. The problem of bedroom communit costs a ities was also mentioned utilities to for provide money city homes and if businesses do not also locate in the city, there isnt a sufficient tax base to pay for the utilities. Urbanik presented the alternative of unincorporated areas forming planning districts which would give them influence in zoning decisions without the disadvantages of incorporation. - t |
