Assistant Mayor Joe Busico said Wednesday that the city will save approximately $5,100 by cutting off the electricity to the city street lamps. The assistant mayor said he knows that some local residents will be upset with turning off some of the lights. '!We would like to off. The city decided to cut back the street lighting budget last June during budget preparations. However, it has taken six months to pinpoint which specific lights would be shut off. The city council has discussed the matter at nearly all its meetings for the past six months and public input has been entertained. ' have more lights, too, he said. "But under the circumstances, what else can we do? Mr. Busico said that intersections and public buildings were the main considerations in determining which lights would be removed. "We didnt remove lights that seriously affected churches, schools and stores," he said. Mr. Parker said he agreed with the city to only turn off the lights at this point. "Normally we would remove the lights. But we thought it would be best to see what kind of response the city receives." He added, "That way if they decide that some of the lights should be turned back on, it will save a lot of trouble and money." Listed below are the locations of the lights that will be shut off.

First priority was given to directing the Public Ser- vice Commission to order Utah Power and Light to adopt time of day pricing. , Storm Smothers Area More winter descended on the valley Wednesday making even Main Streets artificial Christmas trees, weighed down with snow, look authentic. The storm which began Tuesday in the form of rain, within 24 hours had buried Tooele in 11 inches of snow, after dousing the countryside with .35 inches of rain. The storm chalked up 1.07 inches of moisture, more than all of Novembers flurries and ' - ' showers combined. November finished out its tenure with 1.04 inches of precipitation, bringing the weather year total to 3.49 inches, somewhat above the normal of 2.85 expected by Dec. 1. Last year at this time, the count stood at 6.28 inches. Snow plows were out early covering the driving scene.

As a last resort, temporary relief might; be given in the form of direct grants or assistance, Mr. Gee said. and House Speaker Norman Bangerter agreed on the seroiusness of the problem. The governor enough determination, ambition and dedication. You can do it even if your salary is way down on the totem pole. Its true. The six members of the Dave Anderson family of Grantsville did it, and you can too. Dave, his wife Judy and their four children, Mike 14, Jill 13, Lee Ann 10 and Danny 6, spent three weeks backpacking through Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Holland.

Dave kept a diary - filled with the same wit and wisdom enjoyed by followers of his cartoons regularly published in the Transcript-Bulletin- . The diary provides us with an eye view of those same faraway places youve been longing to see. Originally, the Andersons were to travel with a friend and his family who were well acquainted with Europe, but circumstances changed the friends plans and the Andersons were left on their own. artist-cartooni- st In a family council, enthusiasm for Europe by backpack overwhelmed all doubts.

Chamber Elects President Barrie A. Vernon was elected president of the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce Tuesday by the board of directors. Mr. Vernon, an attorney in Tooele, will take his oath of office at the chambers annual installation banquet slated Jan. 21 in Wendover. Mr. Vernon, who has served as Tooele city attorney, as Tooele Army Depot chief legal counsel, will replace Earl Tate who has been the chamber president for the past year. The new president served under Mr. Tate as first vice-presiden- t. During his one year term as president, Mr. Vernon said the chamber would emphasize what the chamber can do for the community, rather than what the chamber can do for its members.

The vote was a wholehearted "yes," with the kids readily accepting a share of the expenses. They contributed a hefty $700 to the final total of $7700 with baby sitting jobs, garage sales and paper routes, including Mike's own individual neighborhood newspaper. It took 18 months for the family to save the money they needed. "It wasnt as hard as we expected, Dave said. The hardest part was keeping enthusiasm from waning over those long months. They stayed home from movies and resisted the constant temptations to spend the money on other things. Much of that waiting time was spent gathering helpful information for their trip abroad. Out of the Budget For the Andersons, there was never any question as to whether to travel with a group or to try it on their own. In the first place, the tours were out of the budget for six people, and then, they did not go where the Andersons wanted to go. "We were looking for cheaper accomodations, and we wanted to avoid the regular tourist routes, Dave explained. To learn as much as they could about the different countries, they got encyclopedias and read up about each city and country. They found other books in the library and more books and pamphlets at travel agencies. There is also much information to be found in book stores. The Andersons now have a drawerful of information on tap for their next trip abroad. A Must Travel agencies are a must, Dave The Tuesday issue of the Bulletin incorrectly reported the name of chamber of commerce secretary as Judy Lofholm. Judy Quinney is the secretary of the chamber.

Actually, Rome, Paris or Switzerland dont have to remain just a dream or a picture on a travel folder; you can get there if you have expected to address. However, the proposals are by no means a shoo-i- n for Gov. Scott Matheson. The leadership and side roads. There were only seven stormy days in the month. Temperatures varied from a high of 55 degrees on Nov. 6 to a low of 15 on Nov. 24. Snowfall recorded for November was three inches. Although the flakes were still drifting down over the city, weather forecasts call for decreasing snow Thursday with partial weekend clearing, and a storm-fre- well-bein- g use. The Farm Bureau also asked that agriculture be represented on the ways and state building construction and extension of unemployment benefits are the major items the legislature is Snow plows were out all day Wednesday clearing city streets that were covered with 11 Inches of snow. No major vehicle accidents In the county were reported during the storm. Under this plan the Public Service Commission would also be dir- ected to implement interruptible power rates which would allow a reduced rate for irrigators. "The PSC should have to consider the economic of the state in granting rate increases, Mr. Hogan said, "and the legislature can specify the methodology for rate making the PSC must legislature meet in a special session Dec. 15 to consider authorizing issuing construction bonds. Farm Group Battles For Pumping Decrease Farm Bureau succeeded in getting load management of irrigation pumping costs set back to 1984, said Leland Hogan, chairman of the pumper's committee. Mr. Hogan said this means all pumpers will be on the Option B of the rate schedule, and that no pumper will be required to go to load management during 1983. The decision came during a Public Service Commission hearing last week on Utah Power and Light Companys rate increase request. "This gives us more time to get a full hearing on our proposal for rates, Mr. Hogan said. The committee and Farm Bureau staff members met Nov.23 with x advises. "Even if you dont take their tours, they gladly give helpful information and other services, and these services dont cost, you a nickel. Also the Andersons found that individual countries have agencies located in New York and Los Angeles who are glad to send free materials. They obtained the addresses from travel agencies and from ads in the Home section of the Sunday Tribune which the family scoured from cover to cover each week. The agencies sent maps and travel information concerning landmarks and sites to see, along with the history behind each one.
