Paul Turner, Richfield City Councilman told Christensen that because of an overlapping of law enforcement policies by the Sevier County Sheriffs Office and the City Police Forces throughout the area, residents of cities are being taxed double for law enforcement. Christensen notes that Sheriff Billy Weaver thinks combining all four present law enforcement agencies would be a good idea. He says it will save county taxpayers $200,000 a year, without decreasing services, County sheriffs are by law responsible for law enfocement in the entire county. Often the sheriff and deputies give way to city police inside city boundaries, even when the deputy arrives at the scene first, Christensen noted. An opinion by the Utah StateAt-tome- y General states that city officers should take priority within their jurisdiction. Salina Chief of Police Gordon Kiesel said that Salina is doing fine just the way things are, and he is sure that neither the residents nor the city council would give the idea a second thought, Christensen added. There is nothing to gain, Kiesel said, and he warned other areas of effort and overlapping of duties the county to be very careful if they docs occur." intend to consider giving control to Weaver noted that state and the Sheriff.

Readers are more concerned with the news affecting this area They are more involved in governmental decisions and policies. They are more up to date and informed about schools and the future educational programs. Readers can also boast that they are more aware of money saving opportunities because of the support of the local shopping district. The SALINA SUN and GUNNISON VALLEY NEWS are the only weekly newspapers in the state that carry ads from the majority of the available grocery stores serving the area, and this makes the readers more informed and newspapers more viable. The existence of a newspaper depends on three main ingredients. More than 90 percent of all revenue taken in by a newspaper comes in the form of advertising so a strong relationship has to exist between a same time r Weather 6 74 inches scholarship awarded ship.
