Commission projects mill levy increase It's that time of year again when county officials wrestle with projected budgets ballooned by inflation to set the mill levy. And taxpayers should expects some increase this year, county commissioners said Tuesday. Commission Chairman Don Chase said the raise will be just as little as humanly possible, but with a nursing home bond issue to begin paying off and other items to consider, it will go up. Chase said the first payment on the bond is $73,000. The county levy is 9.72 mills of which a half mill goes to the library program. Chase said a mill would generate about Brigham fireplugs becoming known all over the land Everyone from Brigham City knows where Brigham City is on the map. Many people across the United States are also finding out Brigham City and its activities, are also on the map. A case in point is the Bicentennial fireplug painting done almost as a pilot project for the entire United States. With hundreds of man and woman hours donated, volunteers have gussied up the citys fireplugs in enameled costumes depicting the heroes of the American Revolution. People around the nation are reading about it. The News and Journal and Mayor Harold B. Felt have received clippings of stories from at least three newspapers from the West coast nearly to the east featuring the painting project. In New Orleans Sherm May clipped a picture of three of e Brigham Citys plugs from the printed in New Orleans, La.

The picutres were placed on the national Associated Press wire which explains their diverse appearance across the United States. Chairman Blaine Olsen said all fireplugs in town are scheduled for painting by the weekend prior to Peach Days. A little over a dozen await their colorful new garb, he said. There are some 300 fireplugs in town. The program began as a portion of Art Week this year under direction of Thelma Somerville. The Paint a Plug for America project is a copyrighted activity begun by Mrs. Ruth von Karowsky in South Bend, Ind. Brigham Citys participation is a pilot effort in Utah and one of the very first across the nation, said Olsen. Brigham City received a donation valued at $1,000 in designs and other materials to get the project underway from the Paint A Plug Corporation. provide more summer irrigation and reduce damaging hail storms summer. That program, if the county joins, would call for firms with expertise in that field to submit bids. Chase said the recent revaluation of county property hasnt done the county that much good, since it lost $3 million valuation from Green Belt, utilities remained about the same, pushing the bulk of the tax burden on the residential property owner. I can guarantee you, weU raise the levy just as little as humanly possible, the commissioner declared. WINK by this fireplug shows its no secret to him that he and his counterparts in Brigham City have made national news. Paint A Plug chairman Blaine Olsen and Art Week chairman Thelma Somerville look at news clippings from three papers in which the plugs appeared. A BROAD Normal Inflation Also taken into consideration, he said, is normal inflation that has been shooting holes in budgets, and wages for county employes who should receive comparable pay increases with other local governments. Commissioners probably will call a special session on Monday to adopt the levy, which must be done by law by the second Monday in August. Were trying to see what ways and means we have without going any higher. At this point, I cant tell if we can make it or not, said Chase. He said one consideration also being given is for the county to join a weather modification project that would encompass five or six counties in northern Utah and southern Idaho. Increase Approved Change Commissioners Tuesday also approved a change in its intended use for revenue sharing funds, adding the purchase of a law enforcement building sprinkling system, flak vests and a typewriter to the list. Total cost of those items are projected at mini-comput- $33,368. County Clerk K. B. Olsen said the new computer is needed to handle increased payroll, billing and tax notice loads that the countys present machine is to overloaded to do. The flak vests, at a cost of $1,018, are for the sheriffs department and $1,250 went for the sprinkling system. Other revenue sharing uses are $50,000 as part payment and $81,594 as partial payment on the law enforcement building.

Greenery appears around building Like the old saying, its the little things in life that make the difference. THE BOX ELDER county law enforcement building was a hive activity last Saturday with the Spade and Hope Garden club overseeing planting of trees and shrubs on the grounds. The club of donated several plants and job in the near future. wil use county funds to complete the Around the Box Elder county law enforcement building, the little things are shrubs, trees, ground cover and grass. Although the grass isnt in yet, it will be by this fall, thanks to the Spade and Hope Garden club which has adopted the build-ln- g grounds as a service project. Last Saturday, with the help of the DeMolay, garden club members planted yews, Oregon grape, bayberry, ground cover and a tree or three at the building grounds. Donated by Club Sheriff Art Redding said these plants were donated by the club, but they ran out of items before the job was completed. Thanks to $200 from the county grounds and maintenance fund, the club is purchasing enough plants to complete the job, the sheriff said. Plans call for grass and low grqwing shrubs on the east, a tree and grass on the south side, tree and grass on the west in addition to the smaller shrubs and ground cover already planted. The county used $1,250 in revenue sharing to install a sprinkling system on the grounds. Wait on Weather may have to wait for cooler weather to plant grass, said the sheriff, who noted satisifaction at the job the club We and DeMolay have done. And the county road department is doing its share in sprucing up the grounds. They begin Monday to tear out the old lot west of the building and have hauled in fill in preparation to laying new asphalt. We certainly appreciate the help of the garden club and the DeMolay. Theyve certainly done a fine job, Redding said. tar at the parking |
