Show Dot city can't match it From Box Elder High CXarjODaSs Gams fee IToeraeoiita announced Tuesday that their organization has raised a total of $4,000 to spend on new playground equipment for city parks. They told the city council the club wants to extend existing tennis courts and make new ones, erect basketball backboards and install better lighting in parks. The spokesmen indicated their reason for visiting with the council was to get official city blessing and hopefully have Tremonton match the Kiwanis donation. However, Mayor Max Mason said its unlikely at present the city can scrape up $4,000 from an already pressed financial situation. He mentioned specifically the demand to upgrade the communitys sewage disposal plant by January 1975. Federal Assistance City Councilman Jesse Day reported that the federal government will pay 75 percent of the cost up to $300,000 for the plant improvement. However, he explained further that if the job isnt done by the deadline, the state and federal Environmental Protection agency will step in, perform the work and charge the city the total bill. This means Tremonton and Garland which use the facility would lose the matching money. Rulon Duncan, Bear River City, and Lloyd Hill and Neal Moon, Farmers Insurance, told the city council that Housing Project Dr. Reese Mason presented sketches of about 40 homes that he wants to develop as a housing project on the west side of Sandallwood Acres subdivision. He said it would tie into the existing sewage collection system. Mayor Mason asked him to meet with the planning commission anent his project, a necessary first step before consideration by the council. In other matters, Mayor Mason asked that no one burn garbage within the city limits, relating this as necessary to cut down on air pollution. The mayor designated March 29 as Viet Nam Veterans day in Tremonton and said he would like to see all of the flags up along street. Spring Cleanup It was announced that Tremontons spring cleanup will continue from May to May 15 and Mayor Mason asked that citizens prune their trees and clean their yards of debris for pickup. 1 Debaters win first (Continued From Page One) and Tony Ferrara was sixth. Other qualifiers here were Terry Hansen and Scott Carpenter, gaining five and three points respectively. In the House, Robert Northness lead the Bees, placing third overall. John Osburn placed sixth and Mark Sparkman, Dwight Stevens, Jeff Taniguchi and Ken Johnson all qualified. The overall top scorer for the Bees at region was senior student John Osburn. He qualified in three events, allying a total of 13 points. Bee Coach Allen Fleming was elated by the historical first, and fosters high hope for this weekends state tourney. The iporfi! Tremonton should have at least $500,000 liability coverage on all city buildings. Councilman Charles Taylor noted, however, that an umbrella policy is available and he wanted additional information on this before taking any action. The insurance agents were invited to return with information on this at a later date. Main Additionally, the city official expressed a wish that residents able to haul their own refuse to do it instead of leaving it for city workmen. The mayor commended the city police for patrolling on foot instead of riding all the time, noting that they are varying their routes. Dog Problem Councilman Harry Gephart announced that from March 1 to March 26 some 34 dogs had been picked up. Of this number, 24 were destroyed and homes were found for 10 animals. The problem of stray and roaming dogs was raised at the previous council meeting after Mayor Mason had accompanied garbage collection workers on their route and seen a great number of overtuned cans and scattered garbage. It was noted that several persons had paid the $15 fine recently established, although not happily, for letting their dogs run lose. Mayor Mason said City Engineer Duain Madsen will use the citys new street sweeper to clean out local gutters and will advise residents beforehand so their cars can be moved for the cleaning. Director Lorene Napoli requested more assistance at the senior citizens center. The city will reimburse Howard Glenn for taxes paid on 34 feet of city street for a number of years.
