Show gfJ,r'rHrWlT i. r'ytr'frr-H-nrlirg- r' ni p r'm ' tr THURSDAY, NOV. 3, 1977 By GARY R. BLODGETT ONE OF the few exceptions will be in Clinton where incumbent Mayor Gary Bush is running unopposed. But aside from that, the election race is expected to be mighty close in the countys other 15 municipalities. AND THIS holds true in Bountiful where a race to the wire is expected among mayoralty contestants Dean S. Stahle, former city councilman and editor of the "Davis County Clipper and l, and incumbent councilman Elmer W. Barlow, retired Reflex-Journa- businessman. Mr. Stahle was top vote getter in the primary election last month, beating Mr. Barlow, 2,282 to 1,920. Brad K. Johnson, was University of Utah student, eliminated as a third candidate. THUS, MR. Stahle and Mr. Barlow will be battling for the four-yea- r mayor post being vacated by Morris F. Swapp, re- tired school principal who served as Bountiful mayor 12 years longer than any other mayor.- - Mr. Swapp was city councilman four years, making 16 years as a public servant. which Bountifuls city council race received a twist when incumbent Councilman Sterling Beesley announced his withdrawal from the race after the primary election but before the official vote tabulation also should be close as the primary results of the council candidates were nip and tuck. GORDON H. Weed, retired military of- ficer, gained the ballot as the fourth council candidate. n Also on the ballot are incumbent Phyllis Southwick, who led the field of 11 nominees for the two council posts to be filled. Jay R. Bingham, an engineering consultant, and Dale H. Coun-cilwoma- Bradford, construction supervisor and presently a member of the citys planning commission. IN EACH community, a mayor and two council members will be elected. Four other communities held primary elections while the remaining 11 cities nominated by party or by individual petition. THE LATTER resulted in city council-mecompeting for the mayors job in five cities: Woods Cross will have eight cann didates competing for the two council posts; East Layton and Sunset will have three mayor and three council nominees; and in four communities Farmington, Kaysville, Fruit Heights and Woods Cross there will be a complete change of offices as there are no incumbents on the ballot. In Layton, incumbent Mayor Lewis G t councilShields will man, Robert G. Austad. Should Councilman Austad win, a councilman would be appointed to fill his (Ausiads) unexpired term, but if Mayor Shields wins, Councilman Austad will complete his unexpired oppose-incumben- term. BUT THE four other councilmen seeking the mayors post will not be opposed by an incumbent mayor. Mayor John Nichols will set down as Sunsets top political figure, having served in city government for the past 25 years. FARMINGTON Mayor LeGrande E. Gregory is calling it quits after 12 years; Mayor Morris F. Swapp is retiring after omitoini CITY Manager Larry Smith said two of the projects underway total $30,000 and a third, which includes curbs, sidewalk and gutter in addi- tion to drainage pipes.
