COMMISSIONER Moss said the C.E. countys share of the estimated 40,000 cost of building the tennis courts is already budgeted and he moved that the bids be called for. The Bureau of Outdoor Recreation (BOR) will finance $18,000 of the cost of the courts based on a grant which specified that construction must be completed by December 1978. Commissioners have put off the construction of the tennis courts until they could determine how much money would be needed to provide water capabilities at the two county golf courses. COMMISSIONER Glen Flint advised Mr. Carter to call for bids, but try to cut costs by asking the private fluica Knnortent its the first league game for both clubs some of the coaches are talking like the d matchup Layton-Clearfiel- this week could go a long ways in determining the outcome of the league.

Coaches agree that the winner of this new league can't afford to lose more than one game so each and every game becomes that much more important. n In their games both Clearfield and Layton have gone to the running game more than the passing. Layton has a top back in Maurice Turner while the Clearfield club has a couple of good ones of their own in Jeff Trusell and Jim Wilson. Turner is the break-awa- y type of runner who has shown some strength with runs up the middle. pre-seaso- Tests Lazy Eye Planned For CoucDdy Areas ' Screenings for Amblyopia is scheduled for lazy eye several schools in the Davis County area during the week of September 19 through September 21 The testing will be given by trained volunteers under the supervision of Davis County Public Health nurses, according to Dolleen Jewett, supervisor of Davis County public health nurses.

Most recent mosquito abatement districts organized are in Uintah, Duchesne and Tooele counties. THE extension entomologist acknowledged that mosquito control costs money, but he points out that losses due to mosquitoes cost more. He estimates that annual losses to Utah agriculture exceed one million dollars. These losses are due to reduced milk checks and slower gains on livestock resulting from disturbance and blood loss caused by mosquitoes. $2000 To WSC "Weber and Mrs. Kenneth Porter have had as their Reelection 6-- Idaho.

BLODGETT Clearfield City Council Tuesday night rejected at this time a private utility franchise tax of any kind. But the council left the door open for future councils to impose such a tax if they deemed necessary. IN MAKING the motion to reject the franchise tax. Councilman Gerald F. Heaton said, "There is no reason to impose a franchise tax at this time as we are operating with a balanced budget which was adopted only a few months ago. The council vote was unanimous. However, the council agreed that if the law provides, future councils at any time may impose a franchise tax on private utilities. ITS BEEN 15 years since the city has had a mill levy increase and I think the council should have the option to raise revenue by one of two means: an increased property back door method of a private tax or through a utility tax, said Councilman Neldon E. Hamblin. Mayor O. Ross Sanders explained that city employees received a recent pay raise of between 9 to 1 percent from surplus money in the general fund. This amounted Jo 1 $76,000. THERES NO question but what future councils will find it necessary to raise additional revenues through a general property tax increase or imposing a franchise tax. We have escaped with our present mill levy about as long as we can, I believe," said the mayor. It was explained that a two percent franchise tax would be equivalent to one mill levy, which equals about $22,000. THE COUNCIL had discussed, but never approved, a proposal of between two and six percent franchise tax. Salt Lake City has an eight percent franchise tax on natural gas. Clearfields council also tabled for further negotiations any signing of a continued franchise agreement with Mountain Fuel Supply Company. COUNCILMAN Harley D. Hunt said the present franchise option is ambiguous in that it states one thing and utility company representatives say something else. "It's not a serious matter, but it does need clarification and I feel that the council should wait until these discrepancies are worked out," he said. The council agreed.

But when they had finished, all three said their utility companies did not want to be the collecting agency for such a tax but that the law makes it mandatory that they do. FRANCHISE TAXES imposed by cities are to be collected by the utility company through monthly billings. Thus, a residents utility tax on natural gas would be billed and collected by Mountain Fuel Supply, not the city. Ken Madsen, representing Mountain Bell Telephone, emphasized-tha- t any franchise tax would be imposed on all persons who use that service, thus would be an equitable tax. He said that Mountain Bell collects franchise tax from 39 Utah communities. RICHARD MOLLINET, Mountain Fuel Supply representative, noted that there would be hidden costs involved in the franchise tax collection costs for one thing. He said it would take at least three months to implement the program once a city council approves the tax. Mayor Sanders explained that the proposed tax is on private utilities only and does not include city water, garbage collection, etc. COUNCILMAN Raymond Adams said, I'm not in favor e a utility tax. Property taxes give a break to families where a franchise tax doesn't and I feel that if the of city needs more revenue it should collect its own (property) taxes." But Councilman E. Gene Fessler, who initiated the search into franchise taxation after seeing what Salt Lake City had done, cautioned, "We are running out of land and any means of expanded property tax base. We cant continue to rely on our surpluses. OUR FINANCIAL wells will run dry just as our water wells ran dry during this drought summer, he said.
