Dick Anderson, Utah district manager for U and I Incorporated. Jensen began working for the sugar company at Garland in 1962 as second sugar boiler. He was advanced to first sugar boiler in 1968 and became general foreman at the Garland plant in 1971. In his new position, he will assist factory Supt.

Studdert said new patrol tactics have been established and are underway. The city has been designated into three patrol zones separated by Forest street for A and B zones. The third zone includes Main street from First East to First West between Seventh South and Eighth North. Officers will patrol and answer calls within their own zones for the most part, which should decrease response time and improve coverage in all areas of the city. The department has also set up a reporting and records system to better inform officers on different shifts of criminal activities. A grid system, based on the citys voting district boundaries, is being used to plot areas of high crime so enforcement may be stepped up in these areas.

The exchange of views took place at Tuesday's weekly county commission session. The Title 20 program is channeling $110,000 into Bear River district (Box Elder, Cache and Rich counties) to expand social services for low income persons. In league with the funding, greater local input is being solicited so that services can be more effectively brought to a greater number of persons who need them. "What part do you want us to play? Should we take the lead? Earl Bassett, Box Elder supervisor of family services, asked the commission. Not Too Many Changes you need to be concerned with too much change. I'd rather you go on with your programs, sit down and talk with us about what you think your problems are. Wed like to have your I dont envision that recommendations," .Commission Chairman Don Chase stated. We want that. You can be helpful in seeing things that we might be missing, Bassett responded. preliminary plan indicates that Title funds will be spent in such areas as personal and family counseling, drug and alcohol counseling, transportation, and legal services. Glen Winslow, district director of family services, said the program became effective Oct. 1. The $110,000 is intended as funding for the final nine months of this fiscal year. The program then will be continued on a basis. It was suggested that one move may be to appoint a staff member at Tremonton to A 20 year-to-ye- serve north Box Elder county. We'd like to get somebody for that area, preferably a person who lives there to be available after the office closes at 5 p.m., Winslow said. Okay Building Use other business, the commission authorized use of a building at the county fair grounds for bucking practice. Lewis Misrasi made the request as a sponsor of the Box Elder Bronc Riders club which reportedly has 40 to 50 members. Misrasi said a bucking machine will be set up in the building for use by the youth organization. The unit can be moved out when needed. Ed Harris from Grouse Creek informed commissioners that folks in the remote Box Elder community want to create a cemetery maintenance district. He described the cemetery now by saying it looks terrible, pointing out that its the last unimproved cemetery in Box Elder county. Named chairman of the communitys committee for cemetery improvement, he asked the commission how to go about setting up a maintenance district. Commissioner Chase advised him that it requires a map indicating the district boundaries and a petition signed by the affected property owners. He was further advised that, even if the district is created now, it is too late to levy a tax for collection next year. It will be spring 1977 before such tax revenue will be available. The commissioners referred Harris to the county attorney to be informed of the necessary steps involved in setting up a district. The Grouse Creek spokesman said there are 188 graves in the cemetery with the first burial having taken place in 1883.
