Cundall presented a resolution from 1CPA on extending the Intermountain Power Project membership and study agreement to 1979. of THERE was some discus- sion on the announcement that Secretary Andrus would not approve either of the two sites in Wayne County, Salt Wash or Hanksville. On question from the council, Walt Superintendent Meacham stated that most damaging aspect was the time frame on building the plan, that, had it been done as originally planned, the power would have cost 22 mills per kilowatt hour, now this has been increased to 40 mills per KWH and further delays may make the plant unfeasible.

The of three sergeants and 15 troopers. 22-ye- Wh.le some men follow in the footsteps of their fathers, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Clifton B. Green has for years followed in the footsteps of another trooper, Lt. Willis E. Wood. And the trend continues. LIEUTENANT Wood hung up his badge a couple of weeks ago after serving 37 years with the UHP. And Lieutenant Green stepped in right where his coworker left off. AFTER SERVING as Division One boss, it was decided that upon Lieutenant Woods retirement that the division would be divided making Weber and Davis Counties separate divisions. Lieutenant Green asked for and received command of Division 11 the newly formed division which was formerly a part of Division One which was headed by Lieutenant Wood. BUT THE association between these two men began shortly after Green joined the UHP in 1955. After serving a short stint in San Juan County, Green was transferred to Weber County where Wood was a sergeant. They served together until December 1955. AT THAT time, Wood was promoted to lieutenant and to Green was at the same time upgraded to sergeant fill Woods vacated position. Green was sergeant in charge of Weber County while Woody, as he was affectionately called, took command of Cache, Rich, Weber, Box Elder and Davis Counties. IN 1171, the division was again split and Green was assigned to head Division 8 Box Elder, Cache and Rich Counties. Then Green was promoted to captain and transferred to Headquarters in Salt Lake City where he served nearly two years as an administrative officer and four years two years as a Zone One commander. DIDNT like sitting behind the desk. I wanted to be out in the field, where the action is," said Green. 1 asked for a field assignment just at the time the new Division 11 was organized, designating Davis County as a separate division. He said he had to take a cut in pay and a drop in rank, from captain to lieutenant, but it was worth it. I NOT IM in a position I truly love, he said. I live in a new home we just finished building in Chelsea Cove, Bountiful, and I couldnt be happier. I certainly enjoy being back in the field working with the officers. Lieutenant Green is in charge of three sergeants -and Ronald Arnold, Mike Chabries and O'Dell Hatch 15 troopers, all serving in Davis County. MEANWHILE, Lieutenant Wood reflects back 37 years when he patroled the dusty, back roads ot Box Elder County and when the entire state patrol was comprised of only 42 men. Today, 425 troopers roam the states roads and highways. Tve experienced about all there is to being a highway patrolman," said Woody.

THE proposed tract of land was at 425 North Fairfield Road. The council voted unanimously to deny the request which would have allowed development of the professional building plaza following a public hearing. A large delegation of residents of the area voiced opposition to the rezoning, charging that such a commercial development would add to safety problems for school children and that they (the residents) would prefer the property be used for residential development. TOM Hayes, who petitioned for the rezoning, told the council that a professional center would be the best use for the land, according to a utilization study. The council voted against the proposal however, following the recommendation of the Layton City Planning Commission which also disfavored the rezoning on the strength of the opposition from the neighbors. IN OTHER city action, the council approved the rezoning of about 40 acres of land near 250 North Pioneer Road for a residential development. The petition was made by Ivory Corporation and the property joins the Oak Forest Subdivision on the west. The council also approved a rezoning request by Gary Fraughton to allow for one home for his personal use to be built at about 1000 East Rosewood Lane, grb on IIO oMILd CLEARANCE SALE SET YOUR For a Real THERE was a discussion on the one-ma- n garbage truck program in the city and Mayor Cundall said, before the program begins, residents will be notified of better adherence to the garbage regulations since cardboard boxes filled with garbage can stop the compressor and prevent compaction.

He also praised and offered thanks to the sheriff deputies, many of whom worked overtime, to assist in backup coverage for the UHP when several patrolmen were called to Price during the recent coal strike. THERE WERE times when we had only half a force, seven or eight men, on duty and the sheriffs department gave us full support with patrol of the highways," said Lieutenant Green.

The state would provide all materials and the design and engineering for the project. There was a discussion on how far south the lighting should go, and if the work could be accomplished by July 1, 1978, the end of the budget year. It was Supt. Walt Meachams opinion that the lights should be alternated on each side of the highway and estimated the cost of power at $700 per year. It was agreed by the council the lighting should be extended to Nicholls Road and Supt Major directed to proceed with plans for the project. It was passed by the council. THE COUNCIL approved the monthly salary of the Justice of the Peace for Kaysville City be set at $350 per month.

This was approved by the council. THE FIRST accident wasnt too bad, for injuries at least, but the second accident was terrible. It nearly killed Art Spendlove and myself and the young couple whose car we slammed broadside.

We were really traveling and couldnt avoid hitting them broadside. CARPET (each Thursday evening) the city engineer; also that Wilson Drive would be 55 ft. wide.

Often times you would have to rely on a passing motorist to go for help or to get aid of an ambulance. Sometimes it took an hour or more for emergency help to arrive and you had to do the best you could to aid the injured or to quell a disturbance.
