Show Teacher Honored Awarded On Tuesday - Contract For Fire Station Eyed Again Board Fears Effects Of Taxing Proposals GRANITE PARK. Members of the Granite Board of Education expressed concerns about tax limitation proposals appearing on the Nov. 4 ballot at their regular Tuesday session here. The board asked Superintendent John Reed Call for an accounting of the actuall dollar loss the district would face if Propositions A and B were approved by the voters. Proposition A deals with the removal of the states portion of the sales tax on food, while Proposition B calls for property tax limitation to one percent of the market value at 1977 levels. Dr. Call said that he could not deliver an projection because much will depend on what the legislature does with public education funds if it is faced with the decreased dollars. However,said the that superintendent the loss could range from $4.5 to $15 million per year. Previously he had told the board that double sessions, higher ratios and program cuts would be almost certain.

City officials Thursday reinstated West Valleys contract with the county for 911 emergency services. The action followed a week of discussions following a City Commission decision to ter- minate the contract Dec. 31. The commission took that action believing the 911 system was covered by a police dispatch contract with Salt Lake City.

Talks with A1 Britton, director fo the County Emergency Services and Civil Defense division1, revealed to city officials, however, that only police and not paramedic services were covered in the contract with Salt Lake City. The 911 system, Britton noted, was under the auspices of the County Council of Governments (COG), of which West Valley is a member. West Valley pays the county $36,000 annually for the 911 service. City officials may contest that a portion of the fee amounts to double taxation, City Treasurer Randy Baker siad last week. In other matters, the City Commission approved the payment of $8,778 to architect Dave Mineer for fire station plans not used after (See Page 6, Col. 7) interested may call learn good safety To Police rules, she said. safe-t- y hal-lowe- 31.
