It also would homes. It is firmly recommended that thoroughfares in residential areas be widened to carry additional traffic, that no commercial firms be allowed to locate along them, and that they be improved in appearance by planting of median strips and trees, the report said.

A letter notifying escort services that such practices are banned is being sent by commissioners so that no misunderstanding will exist. They said that amber lights might be used on escort vehicles and achieve about the same safety as sirens and red lights. Convoys are also expected to obey state traffic laws. . old-tim- h Aides at Maytime Manor, East, and Highland Manor Nursing Home, 4285 Highland Dr., said LDS elders hold regular Sunday sacrament meetings for residents of the home and administer the sacrament individually to those who cannot attend the service.

SNOWBIRD City officials, who have long contended that they can solve local problems better than the federal government, now must prove it, Mayor E. J. Garn said today. Garn said the goals drawn up by the panel, and by other citizens commLttees that will be formed later, are bound to be more meaningful than goals drawn up at the national level that may or may not fit Salt Lake Citys needs. Garn opened a meeting of city commission- ers and officials from city agencies at Snowbird. The meeting was called to discuss recommendations made last month by a panel of Cit37 citizens who participated in a two-daConference. izens Development Policy y The panel was created to suggest ways the city can prepare for changes that are expected as revenue sharing, with its emphasis on Sorry, well try again If you have a question or complaint in the Deseret News, or write to call Ombudsman, Ombudsman.

But if were going to do this, city agencies must plan and cooperate and talk to each other about the future of Salt Lake City. Garn said that neither the city nor the federal government has enough funds to carry out all the projects recommended by the citizens panel. But he said priorities must be set now, so the city will be ready to move when and if general revenue sharing is expanded, or special revenue sharing is passed by Con gress. The citxzens report, prepared in final form by the San Francisco consulting firm, Williams and Mccine, discussed the citys economic and physical environment, but focused on the need to prevent decline in housing, par- ticularly in areas that border expanding mercial zones. com- families are The report said middle-clas- s fleeing the city, leaving the elderly and the recently-marriemany of whom flee a few years later.

Pipeline is braced VERNAL Vernals culinary water supply fine was braced and Ashley Creek was back in its channel today after 60 feet of the line was exposed by flood waters over the weekend. The river, swollen by rain Friday night and blocked by fallen trees, went outside its channel and undercut the line . eight miles northwest of Vernal Crews bolstered the pipeline Saturday after other workers removed the trees from the river, allowing the stream to return to its channel according to Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Aaron Wilkins. A Uintah County road near the creek was washed out in several places, but access was restored late Saturday. The floodwaters approached four farmhouses in the county, but the river had gone down by Sunday, and no problems were foreseen. Our slip is showing Excuse us, Russell A. Oleen.
