If that bid is withdrawn, the board will go with the second low bid entered by John DeYoung Construction of Salt Lake City for $674,396. If Wadman Construction withdraws from the bidding process at this point, they will be forced to forfeit their bid bond, which would amount to five percent of the bid of $31,650 Visiting with Mis.

Mr. and Mrs. Mayer traveled to Germany seven years ago Mr. has Creuzburg especially enjoyed visiting with his family members. ANOTHER guest in the Mayer house is Mrs Mayers Aderlhelid aunt, Mrs Bruckert of Hawthorne, New York. Mrs. Bruckert and Mr. Creuzburg are brother and sister. They havent seen each other for 14 years. Mrs. Bruckert has been staying a month in the Mayer home, dmg Mrs Ursula Mayer is his only daughter. He has three grandchildren, John and James Mayer of Cheyenne, Wyoming and Mrs Heidi Rodarte of Layton. This is the first time Mr. Creuzburg has his seen six greatgrandchildren. Architect Dale Mmson of Minson and Halender, architects and engineers, Salt Lake City, said this money, if forfeited, could be used to defray the cost of the transportation building. Mr. Minson said Wadman Construction Company was reconsidering their bid and might yet withdraw. IN CALLING for the motion to accept either of the two bids, the board voted to go with the base bid and also accept one of the four alter- natives which would add between $25,000 and $26,396 to the cost of the construction This alternative would call for the installation of mechanical and ventilating facilities to finish the paint bay at the transportation center. All of the bidding submitted by the eight construction companies ran well over the estimate of $550,000 which had been predicted by Mr. Mmson. The 120,000 square foot concrete block building, when remodeled, will include storage and maintenance centers, in addition to the bus garage. ByROSELYNKIRK An additional water source may be available to farmers in North Davis County, based on a decision by the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District to approve an engineering study to consider extending the Lay-to- n Canal. IF THE study shows the project to be feasible, additional water could eventually be provided to farmers located west of Bluff Road in an area extending from West Point to Gentile Street in Layton. The decision to call for the engineering study was based on an economic feasibility study prepared by Lyle Summer, water resources economist, based on a request from the Layton Canal Irrigation Company to complete the project. users in that area, the project was abandoned and only 8.7 miles of the canal were constructed, but never used. The additional 6.2 miles would extend the canal from tion to the $20,000 approved by Weber Basin Board members, to hire Gene Neilsen of Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard, to conduct the engineering study. the Layton Canal Company and Charles Black, vice president of the canal company. The company had been organized a year ago to push for the completion of the project. The extension of the canal also has the approval of the Davis County Commission r Based on that decision, Davis County has approved the expenditure of $18,000, in addi and training rooms for the drivers In accepting the bid, the board decided to take the recommendation of Superintendent Bemell Wrigley who suggested that since costs were higher than estimated, the board not accept bids on three alternative plans. These plans would have called for the existing building and installing insulation, electrical work and a wet sprinkling system throughout the entire building THE WADMAN Constructif accepted, would call for completion of the building in 180 days. Although John DeYoung Construction Company specified a 340 day completion date, Mr. Minson ion bid, said further conversation with the company had indicated that they could complete the construction in 240 days. In other bidding matters, the board voted to accept a low bid of $71,685 for ten sections of bleachers for the gymnasium at Woods Cross High School. The low bid by Hasco Inc. was one of two bids The other bidder was Chapman Company. Dr. Dean Penrod, supervisor of buildings and grounds, recommended that the board accept the low bid. Earlier estimates had predicted the cost would be between $75,000 and $80,000 THE BLEACHERS will be constructed of wood, but will have a steel base and will be erected on the site. Delivery date is set at 90 days so the bleachers may not be available for the early part of the basketball season, Dr. Penrod had said earlier. In other financial matters, the board instructed Assistant Superintendent John S. White to call for price quotations for the installation of a sound system at Bountiful High School, which is estimated to cost between $6,000 and $7,000. Dr. White said the sound system, installed in 1958 in inadequate and has in the past been upgraded and repaired. process of upgrading the sound systems in the schools, he said. In another purchasing matter, the board also voted to have Dr. White seek price quotations for three 1 ton trucks necessayr to pick up produce and frozen food for the school lunch program in the Davis Schools. and plant grass at a school and city owned site in East Syracuse. The school district owns nine acres at the site and the city six. The sprinkler system and the planting of the grass will cost each party about $10,360, Superintendent Wrigley said. THE BOARD also approved an agreement with Syracuse to install an irrigation system Answers On Proposed Rezoning In Kaysville Considerable interest has been expressed in the proposed rezoning request of properties to the south of Kaysvilles Main Street. Lack of information, and some have misunderstandings as to what developed developers have in mind and what this rezoning can, or cannot, do for Kaysville THE AREA being considered for rezoning is that property beginning at the northeast corner of Happy Homes No. 5, a subdivision of part of Block 2, Plat G, Kaysville Townsite survey, in the city of Kaysville. This area is located just to the east and north of the Kaysville Seventh and Tenth LDS Ward House, 331 South 50 West, and includes some property owned by Cliff and Ruth Linford. Presently it is just a com field. The owners of this property would not constitute spot zoning, as commercial zoning exists immediately to the east of the property in question. The purpose for the rezoning is to develop a plaza designed for professional use. The developers envision doctors, dentists, orthodontists, optometrist, attorneys, dental lab, certified public accountants, pediatrists, real estate, etc. to occupy this development. Special consideration has1 been taken to develop low profile, attractive buildings, separated with attractive landscaping, lawns and parking located on the trees, etc. This should provide for little commercial THE NEED for this type of development m tbeJCaysville area is apparent. Several dentists and doctors have expressed the critical need for such a facility and have indicated interest in relocating when this facility is complete. There has also been some third and fourth year medical students who have indicated an interest in locating in this area, but only if the facilities are available. The developers have a great deal of concern for the orderly development of this community, which they feel is reflected in the type of development being considered. They are of the detract right-of-wa- that this should not from present growing at an fast rate and the type of facility even more acute on exceedingly need for this will become as time goes THEY ALSO indicate no plans in developing any other type of facilities at this time or in the immediate future. They are aware of the need for consistent use of this property, and do not intend to sell any part of the area. They are aware of the necessity of communication between the residents of Kaysville and and themselves have expressed their willingness to discuss or answer any questions Quest ions you may have can be answered by calling any one of the above mentioned owners, np V, init Mn rranasco con bo found at the bedutiful Sr V': .r .

MR. WILCOX said the board of the Layton Canal was aware that they would have to sell 7.000 acre feet of water to make the project feasible. The report states that, if the 7,000 acre feet is sold, the cost per acre-fowill be $9.50 to $11 or $3,040 to $3,520 cost per acre. At present irrigators at the south end of the Layton Canal receive their present water on a cost per share basis, but feel that this supply may not continue to be available. IF THE engineering study favorable, Mr. Winegar said the district officials will go to the BOR with figures showing what the construction costs would be. The project was first approved by the BOR in 1961 and construction began on the canal. But due to lack of interest on the part of the potential water appears Salt Lake Division WERE OPEN!

According to the feasibility report, a total of 3,000 acres of water could receive a full supply of reliable irrigation water if the canal were extended. THE PROJECT calls for the rehabilitation for the 8.7 miles of the canal built in 1962, but never used and the construction of 6 2 additional miles of canal. The plan also calls for the drainage of approximately 20.000 acres of land. THE PLAN would seek to determine the possibility of constructing both the canal extension and an open channel storm drain on the same y that is now owned for the extension of the canal. The plan, which originated as a part of the 208 Water Quality Study, would call for each system to be constructed separately, but would allow the engineering to be conducted by one party. Wayne Winegar, manager of the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, recommended that the board take the action to call for the study. y for He said the the canal is presently owned by the water district and the Bureau of Recreation (BOR) appears to favor the project. right-of-wa- SPEAKING IN favor of the extension of the canal was Harold Wilcox, president of THE 70 district school buses, in addition to lawn equipment, will be stored in the facility when complete.
