Largest-eve- r A Box Elder county official Wednesday said he is ready to act on proposed zoning ordinances for two areas of the county, anticipating action within the next two weeks. Commissioner John Holmgren left no doubt, he wants zoning enacted in the south county zone, including the area from Brigham City and Mantua south, and the southwest zone, that more remote region of the county which is largely uninhabited. A legally-requirepublic hearing was conducted April 23. Most of the interest has focused on the south Willard area where mobile home park owners and developers want a more flexible hand than allowed by the proposed d zoning. On the other hand, most farm owners like the restrictive zoning. They want it adopted and many of them said so in a recent petition. However, another petition received just this week and bearing 28 signatures, made Cus statement: We have never read the new proposed zoning ordinance nor have we appointed anyone to speak for us. If there are any meetings concerning our area we feel we should be invited. Commissioner Holmgren said he was uncertain that all signers of the second petition were even property owners. However, he said action on the zoning proposal has been postponed at the request of three property owners in the area, including Elmer Ward. They wanted to meet with us before we did something and so we agreed to meet with them first, Holmgren explained. He said the session should be held this coming week and final action should come, if not then, within the following week. residential with a minimum of CH required), 10 acres (commercial highway which permits highway enterprises).

County Commission Chairman Don Chase said he didnt know why the merit board has ceased to function. In fact, he acknowledged that neither he or his fellow commissioners were aware that a merit board ever existed until a few weeks ago. He promised quick action to rectify the situation. Inasmuch as the law requires it to be operative, we intend to establish one (merit commission) and this will be done' as soon as possible, he declared. Yhe chairman noted that because neither the sheriff or his chief deputy are under the merit system, neither is required to take leave when seeking public But is merit system in effect? Stop in the name of the law. Thats whats happened in the case of a Box Elder sheriffs deputy, Newell Tim Francis, who recently filed as a candidate for sheriff and was then advised hed have to take a leave of absence during the period of his candidacy. The matter was discussed in Tuesdays regular weekly session of the county commission. From the airing one thing was made clear: When a deputy sheriff who is under the merit system seeks public office, he must either resign or take a leave of absence. A second aspect of the situation which wasn't so apparent was this: Is the Box Elder Sheriffs department under the merit system? The question was raised because a three-ma- n merit commission organized locally in 1960 after the state legislature passed the merit systejn law, hasn't functioned office. . . Newell Francis eyes sheriff post . Chase said further that he didnt consider it fair that Francis should have to give up his job and pay check. Nevertheless were bound by state statute, he added.
