City councilmen took the action Thursday, highlighting an usually brief weekly session. Councilman Wayne Jensen, sitting as mayor pro tern in the absence of Mayor Ole Zundel, made the disclosure. He said the legal notice to bidders was to have run in three issues of the Box Elder News and Journal. This is a legal requirement. However, due to mistaken insertion of another notice, it ran only twice. The Utah Highway department would not approve the bids because of this deficiency, and so the council was faced Thursday with no alternative but to reject bids and call for new ones. Set May 11 In doing so, they designated May 11 as the date to open new proposals and or Perry Circles May 23 ' For $220,000 Bond Vote Perry city will hold its sewage system bond election on May 23, it was announced this week by Mayor Jay Matthews. A bonding resolution gained unanimous adoption by the Perry City council Wednesday evening. The amount proposed is $220,000 which will finance a loan through Farmers Home administration to help pay for the $412,000 project. Originally it had been thought that a bond issue would total $191,000 but due to delay, city officials felt they must now ask for $220,000, but still hope the contractors bid will remain the same, the mayor explained. This is a very important issue and I would like everyone who is eligible to vote to exercise that privilege so that we can get a true reflection of citizen desires, Mayor Matthews stated. dered the bid notice run in three issues of the Ogden Standard Examiner. We will gain a week if we do it this way, Councilman Jensen explained. The development was somewhat disappointing since it will delay the start of construction and there is uncertainty about the level of new bids. When the council received proposals from three firms April 20, officials were elated to find that the apparent low figure was $47,633, well under the engineers estimate of $63,182. Parson Asphalt Products company, one of three firms seeking the job, was low. The state highway department is involved since the project will be financed with collector road funds. Rodeo Chutes In other business Thursday, the council opened bids for portable rodeo chutes to be used at a new riding arena slated for development on the Intermountain school grounds. Two companies submitted figures. Bucko Livestock equipment, Buhl, Idaho, entered a total bid of $3,528 and prices submitted by Commercial Welding Company, Inc., Provo, totaled $3, 557. The first firm said it could , make delivery within 30 days and the second, 40 days after receipt of order. There was some question about comparative units contained in the two bids and they were referred to committee for a weeks study and recommendation to the council. Okay Reservoir Use The city officials unanimously approved use of Brigham City reservoir at Mantua for power boat racing on Memorial day, May 29. Making the request was Jim Ricord, representing the Salt Lake Power Boat club. He said the event will be insured by the American Power Boat association and there are no plans to charge admission. In addition, it was agreed that practice runs on Sunday will be limited to between 1 and 5 p.m. so as not to create noise during church services across the street at other times of the day. Low Income Housing Bids Called Bids have been sent out to prospective contractors for the building of a more than seven-mil- e domestic waterline from Corinne to the Bear River Migratory Bird refuge. The announcement was made by Lloyd Gunther, manager of the refuge. He said bids are due to be opened in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office in Albuquerque, N.M. May 17. So far there are about 30 prospective bidders and any others can obtain a copy of specifications from the refuge manager, he said. Contractors have 120 days to complete the project. Construction should be starting in late May or early June, Gunther said. Cost Estimate The cost is estimated at $130,000. Engineers will be at the refuge to answer questions of bidders on May 4 and 5 from 9 to 11:30 a.m., and will also conduct a tour beginning at 1:30 p.m., the manager explained. Sought at Corinne The Esperanza Housing Development corporation last week began plans to resubmit to the Federal Housing administration a proposal for the cone struction of housing in Corinne. Esperanza, a group organized last year to work on migrant housing problems, plans to build from 25 to 50 units of multifamily-typ- e on a site at the west end of Corinne, if an FHA loan of $850,437 is approved. FHA last summer rejected the original proposal because of zoning, sewer and water problems at the site, owned by the Utah Migrant council. It also questioned the need for more housing in Box Elder county and the economic feasibility of the project. Esperanza is confident that FHAs questions will be answered satisfactorily according to spokesman Chuck Brenner. Data on the need for housing already has been collected. Zoning, sewer and water non-prof- it problems at the present site are being worked out, and the economic feasibility of the project also has been proven, he explained. The housing would be open to all groups and would be of permanent type. low-ipco- year-aroun- d Seek Dorm Use In other business, the Migrant Council board voted to support the Utah Migrant council in its efforts to obtain dormitory facilities at Intermountain school for migrant housing this summer.

These were the words of Marie Olsen, Box Elder county health nurse, commenting on the situation Friday afternoon. The state division of health administered gamma geobulin shots to fourth grade students Thursday morning, according to Mrs. Olsen. There have been four cases of the acute virus disease reported from one fourth grade class in the past few weeks, according to Principal Ross Coombs. He said three of the student were back and the other was still recovering at home. No other cases were reported. The state supplied shots for all fourth graders who wanted them and some of the parents took their children to private physicians. Mrs. Olsen said the disease is quite common throughout the state at this time of the year and cases are reported throughout the summer. It is a communicable disease just like chicken pox or measles and is spread through contact, she said. Hepatitis at Central has been traced back to one child, but the exact source is still unknown. according to Mrs. Olsen. Water and other possible sources at the school were also checked two weeks ago by Brigham City Sanitarian Anita Burt and Willard Hill of the Bear River Health department. The water was reported perfect and the kitchen was clean and always had been, Mrs. Burt said. She decided the disease did not stem from the school.
