Register June The Utah migrant council announced this week that it will finalize a contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for use of Intermountain school to house migrant workers this summer. The use of school facilities, scheduled through July 31, is necessary to ease a migrant housing crisis in Box Elder county, according to Roland Chico, housing director for the council. Frank Reyes, Brigham City area coordinator for the migrant council, emphasized that Intermountains facilities are only a temporary solution. Over 700 migrants already are here and more will follow." Intermountain will house only a part of this number, although just how many has Bond Votes Slated On Drainage Units Bond elections scheduled June 30 in north Box Elder county hold the fate of two proposed drainage districts, one of which may solve an overload problem at the Tremonton waste treatment plant. The larger of the two is the Tremonton-Garlan- d Drainage district which is intended to benefit 1,500 acres of farm area ground plus residences in the two-cit- y concurrently plagued by high-watditions. The second project is the Belmont Drainage district which will affect 540 acres of farm land north of Riverside. In each case, only registered voters living within the district boundaries will be entitled to cast ballots. And a spokesman reminded this week that Friday at 5 p.m. marks the deadline to register at the county clerk's office in Brigham City for those who plan to vote but who are not presently registered. Assured of Assistance is assured of federal Each project assistance. Just this past week, it was announced that Farmers Home administration had approved a $169,000 loan for the Tremonton-Garlan- d district. A $154,000 resources conservation and development grant was approved previously. The ttal project cost ;is estimated at $412,000. In preparation for about three years, the may project if okayed by the voters relieve an excess flow problem at Tremontons waste treatment plant. Its thought that ground water filtering ? into the sewage system is the culprit. A new drainage system, proponents hope, will cut off the source. Tremonton and neighboring Garland which uses the sewage system, are faced with orders from the Environmental Protection agency to rectify the situation. Even with the federal loan and grant, the improvement will tap the purses of area. residents in the two-cit- y Mill Levy Hike The spokesman said residents living within the drainage district including of Tremonton and slightly about face a special mill levy more in Garland hike of up to two mills. In addition, all city residents will pay $1 more monthly sewer fee. The proposed Belmont district has been approved for a $49,000 FHA loan and a two-thir- $41,000 RC&D grant. Some 14 different farmers will be affected and none has expressed opposition. The district seems assured. not been determined, Chico added. He said the schools facilities should become available to migrants June 16. Under the terms of the proposed contract, expected to be finalized Tuesday, Chico said, each person will pay S1.50 a day for a bed and three meals. The MIA previously had set the cost at SO cents per bed and $1.30 per meal per person, "Which no one, let alone a migrant, could possibly afford, he stated. Even under the proposed contract, many migrants with large families may find the costs too high, Reyes pointed out. Most families, with an average annual income of about $1,500, must rely on food stamps, which only are available to buy and cook a recipients own food. The Intermountain contract does hot allow families to cook their own food on the premises, he said. Temporary Basis Chico said that most families who use the Intermountain facilities would only be doing so on a temporary basis, or until they could find more suitable housing elsewhere in the county. But he quickly added, "Theres little of that available around here." "Families who can't find a phieoao Hve f V in one of the migrant camps qr.onafar i mers property have to stay in or under trees, Reyes said. "Its happened every year before and it will be worse this year. After the Intermountain contract expires July 31, families living at the school again will be without a place to stay for the rest of the summer, Reyes explained. .
