In the past, the fee, imposed under the U.S. Land Water Conservation fund, was put into effect beginning about May 1 each year. It was $1 per car. Those with the Golden Eagle Passport were admitted without charge. Gunther said the fee was dropped under new Golden Eagle Passport rules which determined that the refuge didnt supply sufficient services to warrant a fee. Visitors will still be required to register at the refuge headquarters, the manager explained. He noted further that beginning March 17, the refuge will be open on weekends for visitor traffic. During winter months when dikes are d and birds are few on the refuge, the federal facility is normally closed on weekends.

A new regulation this year, motor bikes are no longer being allowed to tour the refuge units but can go only as far as the refuge headquarters.

Shooting suspect arrained Willard Licenses revoked for local lounge smashup kills driver An Ogden driver was killed early Tuesday morning when his car crossed the in Willard, and centerline on U.S. smashed in to an oncoming Diesel truck. Derris C. Christiansen, 41, 452 West 1290 North, was apparently killed instantly in the mishap which occurred at Second South and Main, according to Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Richard Naylor. The driver of the truck, George H. Salisbury, 54, Bountiful, was not injured. The trooper explained that Christiansen was driving the southbound car when he apparently fell asleep, and the vehicle crossed over into northbound traffic. 89-9- 1 Ambulance Dispatched Brigham City ambulance was dispatched at 3:21 a.m. It took almost an hour to free the body from the wreckage, it was reported. Trooper Naylor estimated damage from the accident at $10,500. A . Reports stolen car Richard Eldridge, Hammond, Idaho, complained to police that someone stole his 1963 Ford Galaxie two-dosedan, while it was parked at Building 332 at Intermountain school Monday at 11:56 p.m. Beer and cabaret licenses have been revoked for the El Dorado lounge, 1100 North Main street, scene of a shootout last week in which one man was killed and two others wounded. City officials 'took the action Monday night after a hearing which lasted for more than two hours. Earlier Monday, a participant in the shooting incident, Bartolo Sambrano, 50, Fielding, was arraigned in city court on a charge of second degree murder. City Judge Robert Daines ap- pointed legal counsel for the suspect and set March 30 at 10 a.m. for preliminary hearing. He set bail at $5,000 and remanded Sambrano to the county sheriffs custody. Sambrano posted bail and is now free pending the hearing. Revocation of the licenses came on recommendation of Police Chief Jay Christensen who stated: There is great risk of reprisals back and forth between the groups involved in the shooting and because of lack of adequate provision for controlling large groups at the El Dorado club, the licenses for both the cabaret and sale of beer ... should be revoked... Members of the city council heard comments, questions and answers and then retired into executive session for an hour in arriving at their unanimous decision. On hand were Jose Alaniz, owner of the El Dorado, and his attorney, Larry Long, in addition to Chief Christensen, City Attorney Omer Call, and Assistant Police Chief Tom Sneddon. About citizens also attended but were excused part-wa- y through the session at the request of Alaniz. The license revocation did not affect the business license of the El Dorado cafe to continue operating. And the city fathers left the door open for operation of the cabaret under different management. half-a-doze- n ' Brigham City officials are back thinking it over this week after hearing the Box Elder County commission declare that its all or nothing on the countys offer to take over the city library and old city hall. Commission members took the stand as Mayor Ole Zundel and City Councilmen A1 Cazier and Rudolph Kaiser met with them Tuesday. What sparked the response was a Greater Brigham City Area Chamber of Commerce request last week to take over the old city hall when the new municipal building is completed. The city council indicated it favored the chambers proposal. However, the county two weeks ago offered to assume ownership of the library and city hall as a package. And Tuesday the commissioners said if they cant have the old city hall, theyre not interested in taking over the library, either. ' Was Upset Mayor Zundel was visibly upset at the decision. Speaking not as the mayor of Brigham City but as a citizen of Box Elder county, I feel you have an obligation to that library, he declared. At present, the city operates the library, located east of the old city hall. Box Elder county is presently in the library business only to the extent of partially funding bookmobile service. The county officials were firm in their stand, declaring that they face increasing pressure for more office space. Acquiring the city hall, located near the county courthouse, would help relieve the situation. We need it. If we dont get this, then we must take a closer look at how much were going to put into a new county jail adCommissioner John Holmgren dition, declared. There are many things we can use that Commissioner Chase said the space squeeze is being generally felt by most county offices. Holmgren ruled out having the chamber take over the building and letting the county use the second floor. "I just cant conceive the county renting from the chamber, he stated. The commissioner said the pressure is on the city to make a decision in the matter and he hoped it would result in county acquisition of the city hall. However, Commission Chase said he was not trying to pressure the city. Could Afford Library If we could get the city hall then it would relieve the need to build additional office space and we could afford to take over the library. Otherwise, taking over the library is down the road away, he said. Commissioner Holmgren noted also that he is not ready to commit the county to build an addition to the library within two years, as requested by the city. On hand for the discussion were two representatives from the Brigham City Newcomers club, June Evanoff and Marilyn Hash, who urged improvements in the library. The biggest problem over there now is the need for books, Mrs. Evanoff explained. The chamber of commerce request for the city hall is scheduled for discussion at this evenings meeting of the city council. n building for, agreed Commissioner Malcolm C. Young. Juvenile Court? Most prominently mentioned as a likely use is the upstairs portion, now serving the city court, for the district juvenile court.
