The price tag would be an estimated requested building projects at three schools were included in the 1977-7- 8 budget for Box Elder district. This was disclosed Wednesday as Supt. J. C. Haws unveiled some early budget r wish list of figures, including a new buildings and additions. School Board President L. Burke Larsen r earlier asked for the projections. It was to be expected that Box Elder High school would list a swimming pool as a priority. Principal Carroll C. Nichols submitted it as a 1977-7- 8 project. With stage lights and curtains for the school auditorium, the total cost figure was set at $1,250,000. Also requested for next year were a new gymnasium at Grouse Creek, $100,000, and new shop at Park Valley school, $30,000.

Both bid invitations brought favorable figures. j Zions First National bank of Salt Lake was successful bidder to buy the City bonds. Its offered interest rate was 5.3809 percent with net dollar cost to the city through 1997 set at $270,385. This compares with 6.7 percent for the previous issue which was a $600,000 increment. Bidding was last May. Thursdays increment was the final one in a total $1.4 million authorized by local voters for electrical system improvements. Five bids were received. Nine firms entered bidding to furnish the city with structural steel for its proposed a part of the electrical east tap station improvement project. Ogden Iron Works and Century Metals Supply, Provo, appeared to be contending .. low bidders. ... . The Ogden firm offered to fabricate and galvanize the steel for $42,309 or to fabricate and paint it for $35,020. Centurys figures were $41,720 and $35,828. Councilman Doug Wight said the figure accepted will be well within the engineers estimate. Engineer Dwight Hoopes had estimated the fabrication cost alone at $37,500. Hoopes with City Engineer Keith Hansen will review the bids and make recommendations to the council. Some 45 days will be allowed for con five-yea- struction with the erection either to be performed by the winning steel bidder or separately. Bids for that phase ranged from $6,468 to $14,440. Tjte council set May 26 for opening bids other miscellaneous electrical equipment. ' In other business at a regular weekly city council session, no public input was voiced for use of about $116,400 in federal revenue sharing money which the city expects to receive in the coming year. ... on Officials heard a proposal to rezone from MU-15- 0 (resi(multiple use) to Rl-1dential) property in east Brigham City.

Announcement of the honor came during CWIs 37th annual Rocky Mountain council conference in Salt Lake City. e In addition the local chapter won awards for its quarterly bulletin and for mileage participation. Also, the club for the second year won first-plac- the CWI education award and placed fourth in perfect attendance. A Brigham City woman, Thelma Somerville, who has served as District Nine secretary this past year, was elected third vice president. The honors came in competition among 32 clubs in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. The Presidents trophy is awarded annually to the club which is deemed to have accomplished the most in all areas of CWI activity. Some 16 members attended the convention with President Cleora Rawlins accepting the awards during a Saturday morning breakfast. It marked the second time that the Brigham City club has won the districts top award. An estimated 375 persons attended th convention which was held jointly with other organizations the to Associated Credit Bureaus of the Rocky Mountain States and International Consumer Credit association, District Nine. Mrs. Rawlins said the three-da- y gathering was packed full of education for any facet of credit in any industry, large or small. Federal laws were reviewed and clarified and the importance of keeping current with the pending bills, both in the House and the Senate explained. In David Van Dre, federal reserve representative from San Francisco, gave an excellent presentation on Regulation B and stressed how important it is to be abreast of new laws as they are adopted, the local president said. "If one deals with customers, one most assuredly deals with credit, so know you rights and always respect his. Regardless of the job or position you fill daily, you still happen to be the consumer, and this is for whom the laws and regulations are designed to help and protect, she added. : Remodeling of the auto shop patio at Box Elder High school, $50,000. A new school at Howell, $400,000. Just one project is requested for 1980-8covering outside courts for classrooms at Lake View school, $250,000. There are none in the fifth year of the projections. The prospect of holding to the principals requests is dim at best. None is budgeted for 1977-7- appears at this point that no major building will take place until the district has paid off its current bond debt. The final payment is scheduled in December 1978. Rather, the list is expected to serve as a guide as the district moves toward a time when it can afford substantial outlays under the existing mill levy. In other business Wednesday, board members were informed that financial aid It from the federal government as an im- pacted area probably wont be as great as anticipated. of C. Morgan Hawkes, administrator curriculum, said if all goes well the district will receive $335,450. This is well under the $400,000 planned in the current budget. The funding program is intended to reimburse districts having high levels of federal employment with payments in lieu of taxes. Hawkes was even less encouraging for next year. He said President Carter has included no B funds in his budget request for students under the funding program. These students are those whose parents work but dont live at federal installations. They represent the bulk of those for whom payments are made locally. Without this money next years entitlement would be approximatley $26,397. Hawkes indicated that efforts are being directed at having funds put into the federal budget. The law itself expires in June 1978, which means in addition to working for funding (next year) an effort must be made to renew the law, he informed the board in a prepared statement. ' The impact of this years short entitlement is not severe 'since a special mill levy has been imposed to fill in the financial gap. Dr. Haws said if the federal help is lost altogether, the district can levy up to four mills on a temporary basis (for two years), go to a voted tax leeway or learn to live on $400,000 less or a fractional part of it.
