This face plus other local shortcomings were aired at Thursdays weekly city council meeting. Spilling out the information was A1 Councilman council Cazier, representative on the city library board. He said the city ranks 41st of 49 Utah libraries in the level of funds spent per capita, placing the arhount at $1.24. The recommended figure is $4 per capita. The official reported also that a city of this size should have a library with about 10.500 sauare feet. The existing library contains approximately 5,000 square feet. It should be about twice as big," Councilmann Cazier declared. And, while its recommended that the Brigham City library should, have 28,000 books, it has only 20,000. Budget Request Cazier said he had met with the library board just Thursday afternoon and he advised the council to expect a budget request of about $35,000 for the coming year. (This years figure is $22,000.) The board is proposing to spend $10,000 annually for the next four years to attain the recommended number of books, the councilman explained. As for the prospect of constructing a new building or remodeling the existing structure, Cazier said without federal money, it doesnt seem feasible right now. Based on current building costs, it would require about $125,000 to build an addition that would bring the library up to the recommended size. Theres no money presently available from any outside entity, the city official explained. Gleaned from Talks Information about the local librarys standing was gleaned from talks with the state librarian last week. 30DCqd1 It was mentioned that to spend $4 per capita, as recommended, would cost the city about $56,000 annually. Cazier said the state allows local tax government to levy up to a three-milevy for library purposes. On a countywide basis, this would yield $7.92 per capita. He said also that some question exists about the structural soundness of the library in light of plans to acquire an additional 8,000 new books, and the building should be inspected. Additional shelving will be needed to accommodate the added books, the ll Co-Valedictor- councilman noted. Mayor Ole Zundel commended Cazier getting this report as fast as you have. I guess if we can afford to spend $17 per capita for recreation we should afford some for book learning, the mayor adfor ded. Several women citizens were on hand to hear the discussion. The library is scheduled for attention again this Thursday evening when the council considers a county bid to take over the library and the old city hall. named ians Mssemiyy Cuoimoirs grafceslliimg dcoss The top 10 percent of the graduating class at Box Elder High schooj were honored Friday afternoon at a scholastic honors assembly and two. valedictorians were named.

It has been operated under contract between U-- I and Utah Power and Light company, which delivers the water to Cutler dam. The sugar company then distributes it. The operation has always been in one company, the veteran farmer said. It was reported that it costs the sugar company money to operate the system and this is a major factor for the change. The maintenance of the canal and system cant be done at standard rates and the sugar company is picking up the tab, it was explained. Both companies (U-- I Sugar company and Utah Power and Light) have been very cooperative in protecting rights of said Smoot. waterusers, "No other water system in my knowledge has run better and more economically than this one.
